Hell, sorry for a late reply.

Came into the gym and had the manager relocate everyone to the other side of the gym so they wouldn't watch him train. It isn't really a big deal since it's a very large gym but I thought it was pretty rude to go to someone else's gym and tell them where they could and could not train.

On top of that, none of us would have really cared anyway. I didn't even realize Vitor and Rumble were getting in extra training time for their most recent fights until Vitor came up to us and personally thanked us for keeping the gym open for them.

brazilians are so fucking denialists - anything that doesn't go along with their plans in sports is a fix. not picking at you drone, its just that i checked a couple of brazilian forums and saw lots of butt hurt people who were 100% sure mendes would beat mcgregor

you should stop reading brazilian mma forums lol
what I said about the fight looked fixed has nothing to do with being brazilian, many people had this impression
think it was fed with the idea that it would be a huge disaster for UFC if mendes won the fight and huge success if Conor wins, Mendes already lost to Aldo twice and nobody wants to watch mendes vs aldo 3
including me, wtf I loved the result of the fight in every possible way



whenever someone posts something now it has to do with nationality, when I posted something about Silva vs Weidman too, some dude here said my opinion was because I was brazilian and he said he would bet his life if I show I had Weidman ITD bet, I showed and he disapeared forever now...

That shit was awesome overall, fights kept gettin getter and better.

Summary..

Thank fuck pendred lost, he has lost couple of his previous fights IMO but kept getting that split dec. in his favour. This time it was done right except for that 1 judge who still have him 29-28.

Thatch fucked up my parlay, however I made a little bit on my other parlay on Robbie + Connor.

If chad had a full training camp, the fight might've lasted longer. This is exactly how I pictured Connor winning, just based on the first round on the chad vs Aldo fight when chad got dropped.

I was completely wrong in my previous post, chad did wrestle the Fk out of Connor but I think those body kicks drained him and his cardio was off.

Robbie is a complete animal, I had him losing 2-1 going to the 4th round, he was moving forward but not throwing much and got wobbled. Looked like he broke Rory's eye socket or somethin in the last round.

Best ufc event so far this year IMO.

Schaub Mendes bet 1 month t shirts sales vs Bryan Conor LOL watch the end of the video
Bryan super nervous the whole time hahaha

lol, nice

Rousey is a top selling PPV? Why? It's not even fun to watch how she demolishes them in 15seconds, she s way too good to even bring interest to her division lawl

Maybe he took his bet seriously :D

Best card I've ever seen. By far.

Didn't watch prelims, only talking about main card here.

There's a few reasons i doubt its fixed:

#1 How did they convince mendes to throw the match? Unless he was given HUGE money, he really doesn't have a good reason to do it. If he just wins and becomes champion, he can make a lot of money anyways (+fame). People who fight in the ufc do it a lot because they want to be champion, not just for money.
#2 Now lets say they pay Mendes huge to throw the match, are they gonna pay Aldo too? they can't just fix every McGregor matches.
#3 if it gets found out the match was fixed, UFC would be risking A LOT.
#4 If they somehow fixed it, its a bit weird the way they did it. This match actually didn't make Conor look that good, it showed his TD/ground game are bad. Its also Mendes who looked bad. Would be a pretty bad fix, and they would also be amazing actors.

yea i think its unlikely it was fixed, but was the perfect oportunity to fix a fight and the way Mendes gassed was weird
but still unlikely

UFC's gamble to put on this fight will pay off huge.

The main card was incredible. Anybody who feels this fight looked fixed is delusional. Conor's chin is unreal and he simply broke Mendes. Pressuring him and beating him up on the fence, his striking is beautiful to watch.

It is going to be great fight with Aldo, can't wait to see it.

Badass

Sitting in MGM hung over.

Too many bets to list.

Came up a few units but missed on basically tippling my bankroll with MacDonald pick being wrong and having like +10000 parlays getting shredded when he went down in the 5th.

That fight displayed more heart by both fighters in than I've probably ever seen in 5 rounds.

Amazing.

And McGregor pulling it off while clearly being at under 100 percent, just insane.

What a night.

Best main card of all time.

TUF 21 Finale is at the MGM in 1 hour. (3:30pm PST)

I usually don't bash people or personally attack based on MMA views but if you even open your mind up to entertaining the possibility that Mendes v McGregor was anything but two guys giving it their best and talk about a fix, you don't know what the fuck you are looking at.

Every single one of the 12 guys from the Means fight on last night was a fucking warrior and a hero last night.

To even entertain stupid conspiracy theories after the blood and heart they gave the fans is just deplorable. And I'm not talking about anyone specifically on this site, just the entire idea of it.

amazing card and horrible for my bets

thought back remembering pride events many times while watching this

^ After Rory lost to Condit.



^ After Rory lost to Lawler in the second fight.
