UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Melendez - Page 5

why is mir fighting the takedowns...?

Sigh... The fight most expected to end ITD, ends up going the distance...

Looks like a lot of people lost money on this fight, aside from the people who paid the -400 or more juice on Cormier straight.

Dissapointing fight, not at all dissapointed that i 10x'ed my money with a Brown/Thomson/Cormier parlay thx to Cosmo.

Now i need a Henderson win to finish a nice night of betting.

Gil down 3-1 in rounds, game over.

Pretty surprised catching kicks was part of the game plan. I mean they didn't work for Frankie, what made them think they'd work for Gil?

good fight. I give henderson 2,3, and 4.

inb4 praise lord jesus

3-2 hendo

OH GOD

NICE PROPOSAL WITH ALL THE BOOS LOL

I had it 3-2 for Benson as well.

Melendez would have won if he would have kept the pace. He slowed down after round 1.

48-47 Bendo seems about right, could have been the other way and still feel right.

Good night for me.

exactly what i think.

I also see it 3-2 Benson despite thinking he is an idiot.
Melendez could have won but at one point he slowed down too much.

super frustrating how lucky benson is.

def no robbery, but he just wins every fucking flip ever. wins the flip round vs cerrone, wins every flip round vs edgar, wins every flip round vs gilbert

benson reply: the more i praise Jesus the luckier i get now can-i-get-a-mofo-amen-in-dis-house?

cosmo god damn your on a sick heater on UFC picks

Rousey on the left side. Looks like she was in shock while having to watch her boy get beat up.

Random statement/question about Nate's payment by someone at MMA Junkie: That Diaz pay is obviously a mistake, he made 37/37 vs Cowboy at UFC 141 and made 50k for his last fight vs Bendo which he lost, so he was on a 50/50 for that fight.

Response from MMA Junkie staff: It's not a typo/mistake. That's the official disclosed payday.

Sounds like they restructured his deal, and there may have been some money upfront that isn't reflected here.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC on FOX 7 bonuses to Romero and Thomson (dual "KO of the Night" winners), and Brown and Mein ("Fight of the Night").
