Was rooting for Daley. The last 2 and a half minutes lost him the fight. I'll be surprised if MVP gets past Lima.

Ngannou vs Velasquez is on ESPN tonight (Sun) if anyone didn't already know that.

Easy to cheer against MVP. What a brutally bad fight. Bellator has been dire for a while.

MVP has looked ordinary the only 2 times he's fought a decent opponent. Hell, he would have lost if Daley didn't blow it in the 2nd half of the final round.

Lima will beat his ass.

They have some real potential in Aaron Pico. But, the kid makes stupid mistakes which have been costing him dearly.

I agree. If Daley, of all people, gave him a hard time on the ground, he will not make it through this tournament without a loss. Lima is a smart guy, and one of the best welters in all MMA. I'll be very surprised if MVP even makes it competitive.

His fights are awesome, win or lose. I just mean they've had a lot of weak fights. I never would have imagined last night being that bad.

Not a terrible bet at those odds. Can't see Ngannou winning it any other way.

I know it. Kudos to Lima calling for Daley going for take downs just before the bout. Sonnen called him crazy. :lol: I kinda thought he was crazy too. I'm pretty sure the take down game was Daley's plan B if he was getting taken to school in the striking dept... which he was. Had it been kept standing, I could have seen something similar to the Rickels fight playing out. With Daley getting KOed instead of quitting.

And how bout the Mitrione-Kharitonov crap Friday night? What a letdown...

Yeah, Pico is lethal, and a possible future top p4p fighter. While his fights are exciting, it would be extremely beneficial for him to work on his composure.

That was rough, it's a double edged sword. They're paying out for UFC midcard guys and old men so they have to run more cards but it waters it down. Tonight should be interesting. Though the main is a massacre if Cain is anywhere near healthy.

That was insane. They said that they landed more punches than any other 3 round UFC welterweight fight ever.

Hopefully Ricky cashed. I remember doing a blog after the fox deal saying it should be hendo/rua. Dan retweeted it

That would have been a proper debut. Epic fight that was.

Just like Cain's follow up performances against JDS, I feel that he could beat Ngannou the same.

That might be the quickest money i ever made. Needed that to get even for the weekend, put some stupid bets on Figeroua and LSC to win by stoppage that got me in a hole. Also took some money on Gracieto win by Sub in r1 given the hype around him, that was a nice win.

His knee buckled cause he ate an uppercut on the inside, i don't really consider that bad luck imo.
