UFC FN 66: Edgar vs. Faber - Page 4

Round 1: Dantas (Take downs, control from the top. Richman landed 1 good shot on the feet, but he was mostly inactive when standing.)

Round 2: Richman (Dantas couldn't get the take downs.)

Round 3: Dantas (Dantas got the take down and was on top for a bit. Richman kept it close on the feet instead of dominating on the feet.)

Dantas 2-1 imo

Agreed, and they got it right. Wouldn't have been mad at a Richman decision tho either, considering I had a small bet on him at +185 and he out-landed and out-damage Dantas in the 3rd. Takedown's sure do hold a lot of weight.

The up-kick looked like it hurt Halsey at the end of round 1.

Mark Hunt needed Mike Beltran in his fight against Stipe Miocic.

Easy win for Brandon Halsey.

Got lucky betting NBA so betting a lot of shit tomorrow which is probably not a good sign, but anyway, my final bets pre-card

Philippou > Mousasi SU $60.00 +401
Philippou > Mousasi SU $40.00 +430
Edgar v Faber o 4.5 PROP $46.00 -230
Barnatt > Munoz SU $41.40 -138
Lim > Magney SU $20.00 +100
Nover > Nam SU $20.00 +150
Edgar by Decision PROP $60.00 -150
Tuck + Lim + Barnatt PL $20.00 +484
Tuck + Lim + Barnatt + Nover PL $10.00 +1,361

And another $40 on Philippou at +500 @ 9:11 AM PST

Reason I'm betting Lim is because he looked amazing at weigh-ins and the more I think about it, the more its clear that Lim is far better competition than Magney has fought since losing to scrubs.

Alex Garcia is good but got hurt, acl tear or something in the first round of their and the decision was still highly questionable.

Lim has power, surprising cardio, enormity, a great chin, will be going forward most of the time, and the hometown all-around factor (crowds influence judges and it'll prolly be loud) - that's enough for me to take him at even money against a guy who is well-rounded, technical, lanky, but generally passive and doesn't have much power.

Since I don't want to wake up at 4am to watch a bunch of scrubs fight, I'm skipping all of the prelims. However, I will watch the entire main card, which starts at 7am.

p.s. I'm not betting this card, but if I was, one of my favorite bets would be Urijah Faber +9.5 points at -130 @ 5dimes. That being said, I don't use 5dimes, and Bookmaker doesn't offer the +9.5 points.

Prelims on FS1 has been on fire.. Asian fighters putting on a mutha fuarken show

I'm awake. Watching Roldan vs. Reyes. It was the replay.

Main card is starting now.

Mark Eddiva with the massive fence grab like he's Aldo in Brazil.

MM song choice and pacman logo ripoff puts me on tilt T_T

still don't know what anyone sees in faber. i think he is going to get absolutely dominated in every single area of this fight, will not win 1 round, and will possibly even get finished.

Most of us are in agreement that Edgar wins. I don't see Faber getting finished, though.

Luke Barnatt sucks

Despite picking wrong and losing coin, nice to see Munoz go out like that.

great retirement fight for Munoz.

An Englishman, who is the tallest guy in the division, against an aging wrestler fighting in his adopted hometown. WAR Munoz!

Anyway, hopefully the main event is good, cuz I don't think Mousasi vs. Philippou will be good at all.

Well done Munoz awesome performance, I shouldn't bet against my countryman. Probably the first time I felt pretty good about losing a bet.

obviously everyone thinks the -400 fighter is likely going to win. but most people who have posted seem to think faber has a chance. i think this is basically jones vs chael level of mismatch. well maybe not that much, but werdum vs big nog level.

The only person in this thread who said Faber can beat Edgar is Minsk. The rest of us expect Edgar to win, and a lot of people think it will go over 4.5 rounds. The only chance Faber has at winning is via rocking Edgar and getting a fast submission, but that's easier said than done.

Yah I'm an idiot. Mousasi apparently shouldn't have been -600. He should of been -10000.

I didn't realize he was an offensive wrestling dynamo. That because he's not. Philippou's TDD is THAT bad. Yikes.

Mousasi continues his streak in the UFC of dominating weak competition: Costas Philippou (2015), Dan Henderson (2015), Mark Munoz (2014), and Ilir Latifi (2013).
