Have you watched ONE fights Ricky? Give that a go on YouTube, by far the best fights going just now. The Muay Thai with 4oz gloves is class and the MMA fights have better rules than UFC which makes for more action.
I'll give jt a bash mate, ufc is torture just now. I need to be able to bet on fights though to feed my interest, it's hard getting markets for more obscure stuff.
Surely ONE, based in Singapore and Thailand is a big betting game?

You'd be surprised how bad coverage is for combat sports. I couldn't even get a bet on the first televised fight on the Dubois BT card last night.

I don’t bet at all mate, mugs game imo.

I thought you were knocking it on the head? I watch the fights to see good battles and high skill level. Last fight I bet on was kelly pavlik to win by KO against Taylor. Was happy with that win.

Have you tried 5 Dimes?

I should tbh, especially with no income wt the moment :lol:

It's in my blood though, some people smoke, some drink, I gamble. The only time I don't have a bet in is when I'm asleep. Betting on fights tends to be the real place I win. Had Dubois won in round 1 last night I would've won about £600. Fvcking Marcus McDonnell :doh:

Close mate of mine lost his business to it, he reckons bout 220k he lost in less than a year. He actually rolled about 2k up to 65k at a high point and took his mrs out to dinner to tell her... then he fvcking lost the lot less than 3 days later.

It’s a choice though isn’t it, they are addicted to the buzz. The adrenaline and the ones I know are also addicted to the horrible feeling of losing.

So easy to replace the adrenaline with something else but they don’t want to. Would rather lose the house and make the wife and kids homeless. For a buzz.

Well, I can't say I'm addicted to losing :lol:

The real danger of gambling is chasing losses. I've had some pretty dark nights where I've had a play on some online slots and what starts as a bit of boredom has got way out of control. 1 night last summer I stuck £40 into SkyVegas and lost it within 10 minutes. I was annoyed at losing, felt like it was rigged against me (the usual thought process). So i put another £40 in to try and win it back. Then again. By the end of the night I was £1400 down chasing loss after loss. I put another £600 in, figured may aswell round it up. Thankfully i hit a few winners and got out with about £30 profit in the end, but when i was in the hole for 4 figures i was pig sick.

Well, they are, but i play them for fun with a couple of quid here and there... i enjoy the bonuses and stuff. I actually hit some big wins last year on them, there was 2 nights in a row i withdrew around 1k from £5 spins. I've self-excluded from slots now though, they quickly turn from "but of fun" to "digging a hole".

Dana White confirms Jorge Masvidal will defend ‘BMF’ belt against Nate Diaz

Jorge Masvidal is expected to rematch Nate Diaz in a welterweight battle at some point in either late 2020 or early 2021 and according to UFC President Dana White, the “BMF” belt will be up for grabs the second time around.

“(Masvidal) wants to defend it against Diaz,” White told MMA Junkie after confirming the rematch. “They were the first two to fight for it. You know what I mean? They were the guys that fought for it. He wants to put it up versus Nate again.”

yeah why not have a repeat performance of Masvidal kicking the sh1t out of Diaz's midsection and Diaz doing fvck-all for however many rounds, great idea, this BMF belt really showing its worth here

UFC matchmaking can be shockingly poor these days. Did anyone ask for Masvidal/Diaz II beside Diaz himself? This BMF crap is pure WWE-style nonsense. I really hope they're not planning to headline a PPV with this.

Masvidal/Colby would have made more sense to me, and made me more likely to buy the PPV. Although I recognize I may not be the average PPV buyer.

Colby is fighting woodley. Colby with a rematch instead of masvidal to begin with made the most sense.

No I know that I just think Masvidal/Colby would have been a better option. Superior shit-talking for the WWE crowd, and a more natural #1 contender fight from the sporting perspective.

I don't even think masvidal was in the #1 contender range, but it's a business.

Mas isn't a real contender. Never has been. Not to say he isn't a tough out for many, but he's a cut below the best.

I'll watch even though the main event is the only remotely interesting fight. I suspect Overeem starches Sakai, who I have always thought is mediocre, but at age 40 you never know.
