UFC 185: Pettis vs. dos Anjos - Page 10

Jesus Christ wins back his UFC Lightweight title.

Thoughts after UFC 185

Roy beats Overeem if he fucking just throws like 2-3 more punches after each time he hurt him. He kept trying these dumb takedowns that never work, it was painful to watch.

Joanna is the sickest, def on another level. Carla's striking is the WOAT

lol @ RDA closing at +450. Ridiculous. Nurmagomedov would have destroyed Pettis. (

The referee caught Carla before she fell to the ground.

Great night for betting. RDA closing at +450 is absolutely unreal given how good He looked against Bendo, Cerrone and Diaz.

Roy Nelson didn't have nothing for the Reem. I mean some of the shots he took to the body were absolutely brutal. Credit to him for keep going but He was done in the first round. The Reem looked good, the only time I felt he was in trouble was in the last 10 seconds of the fight, when he got caught with that left hook. Lets see JDS - Reem now.

Esparza got mauled. My confidence in betting her was growing thinner with every video I saw of Joanna, but still end up putting in a small bet on her in the end. Can't remember a mismatch for a title fight like this since Shogun - Jones, when I have bet on Shogun aswell, lol. Joanna striking is insane compared to this girls. Her fights with Calderwood, Thug Rose etc should be great to watch. She's got the charm and the skills to be a great champion.

Okay now give another title shot to Namajunas

I personally never understood why RDA was a bigger underdog than brown.
It was obvious to me RDA had a much better chance than brown.

however i lost yesterday in my bets. I got greedy and bet RDA at +1000 to finish pettis =/

There might be some effect where since so many other divisions have dominant champions its just assumed that lightweight should as well.

Eh guys, why is Dos Anjos an interim champion ?

Man. Pettis getting destroyed killed a huge winning night. And it hurts cuz it was clearly another horrible underestimation on my end of RDA. He's the shit. He's probably lost me more money than anyone and deservedly so.

Pettis definitely got hurt with that very first combo of body kicks and the shot that closed his eye. "The sniper's scope got broken early" is a quote I heard and that's exactly what happened. That's the real way to beat Pettis - everyone talking about the Guida 'loss' or how Gilbert won the first round with pressure against the fence is missing the real point. You just gotta hurt the guy, he's no Weidman or Jones in terms of durability.

I think Pettis has a great chance to work his way back up quickly, and it's not a TJ Barao situation where you clearly favor the underdog from the first match heavily in the second - I certainly wouldn't.

He just holding the belt for Nurmagemadov

RDA line jumping up from +300 to +450 before the fight and then finding out after the fight that RDA fought with a torn MCL makes me think there is some insider betting going on in Vegas

By the way, Roger Narvaez broke his arm, probably while blocking one of the many high-kicks from Theodorou. He went from having a close fight in round 1 where he landed 4 more significant strikes, to looking completely dead at the start of round 2.



Larissa Pacheco also injured or broke her arm checking one of the kicks that Germaine de Randamie threw in the fight.
