You watch the fight drone?

Going for 14 of last 15 events. Beat all line movement so far.

Dude this Bamgbose guy seems like a nutcase. That was tense with him and Hall.

RFA bored bets incase anyone wants to tail. Watched a few minutes on each of the guys and scouted their records / level of comp, what the promoters probably want to do with them, etc.:

Andrew Sanchez > John Poppie @ -230 - $57.50 to win $25.00
Matt Mascanares > Ken Porter @ +135 - $25.00 to win $33.75
Sanchez + Mascanares @ +251 - $12.50 to win $31.44

Added
Matt Mascanares > Ken Porter @ +168 - $25.00 to win $42.00

This is one of the shittier cards from RFA, which is why I'm not home to watch it. I think there's kickboxing on tonight.

Yah I usually don't watch RFA cards but I'm not doing shit and decided to try and scout it and bet it. I'm sure they are fun to watch for UFC prospects too which I know a lot come from, I think Sanchez is the only guy on this card that might sniff the UFC besides the complete newcomers which you never know on those guys.

I just saw a mini Matt Hughes who's coached by Matt Hughes pull a Matt Hughes and KO slam his way out of a triangle. He's 3-0. Maybe he'll be a decent featherweight some day. Doubt it.

Wow. Well just got absolutely robbed. Fantastic. St. Louis judging.

Sanchez > Poppi via destruction for + $25.00

Porter > Mascanares via absolute robbery for - $37.50

$100 swing on the robbery.

- $12.50 on the night

Andrew Sanchez is going to get a call from the UFC. Amazing performance, looked really good, with a sniping backfist KO finish.

If they feed him someone bad they are trying to get rid of, I'm ready to bet Sanchez in his UFC debut. I'm sure there will be value on him in that scenario.

Added a few more bets including a few bucks on Watson/Camozzi FOTN at +800.

This fight is likely to be back and forth, neither guy is going to shoot for takedowns, and both guys are veterans just there to make money (not a chance of a run).

I never bet these because they are fish bets with stupid odds and huge juice for the most part (kind of like the futures bets in mainstream sports betting)

However, I look up and down the card and see 1 sided fights with the more exciting and competitive fights down at the bottom on fightpass - and those rarely if ever win (can't ever think of time).

The top 2 fights are close odds-wise but I doubt will play out as competitive wars (I doubt Glover vs Osp or Dariush vs Johnson are back and forth wars)

Glover interview for Brazilian media:

"I'm back to what I was when I entered the UFC. Truth needs to be told. Everyone saw that I changed after the Jones fight, I won a lot of money and did not take the fights seriously. I started drinking more than an athlete should and stopped having a proper diet, my companies were not the best either. I don't want to take anything away from Phil Davis. The guy is a monster, a top contender in this weight. He did everything right and deserves the merits for beating me in Brazil. But all that is over now. I'm back to my diet, to my training schedule and tonight this fight will be like the twenty some I had before getting to the UFC: take him down and submit him in the 1st round. I want a submission of the night bonus in this fight [apparently Glover is unaware that bonuses changed for POTN and FOTN]."

LOL

Rosholt is probably my favorite line here. I would take OSP over Glover because of continuity and hometown advantage.

lulz

Just got back home in time for the fights. Bunch of Taco Bell by my side. I should be taking a big dump by the time the main card starts.

Anthony Christidoulou is literally, yes literally, the worst UFC lightweight fighter of all time.

Nice sub by Vera. He was on his way to losing a decision.

Anyone taking Oluwale vs Hall?

Olu has cardio issues, and he tries to finish his opponents in round 1. Since Hall has a legit chin, I expect Hall to finish Olu when Olu starts to slow down. This could be a boring fight if Olu took a pill for better cardio, since Hall always fights to the level of his opponents.
