UFC FN 173: Brunson vs. Shahbazyan

Valiev out.

Looks like Martinez had a botched weight cut. Following you on Saenz.

And Calderwood, what do think of her weigh in and face off? She looked like she didn't want to be there.

----------

My final picks:

• Shahbazyan > Brunson
• Calderwood > Maia
• Luque > Brown
• Vannata > Green
• Holland > Giles
• Martinez > Saenz
• Herman > Meerschaert
• Munoz vs. Maness (dunno)
• Emmers > Cachero
• Gutierrez > Durden

Ugh.

$15 on Martinez/Saenz ITD +115 live bet.

Giles feinted in the backroom. Fight against Holland is canceled...

What a terrible card.

I also added $24 for $20 on Green -140 live bet after R1.

He was -285 after R2, which was too expensive for me.

Cashed on Green. Bet on Luque -188.

R1: Luque (Brown grabbed the fence to save himself from getting knocked down, which cost us10 points on DraftKings...)

Clean and legal shot from Vicente Luque.

Nice win.

I'm done for the night. Just can't get myself to pull the trigger on either girls. Pretend bet on Maia. Lol.

Last bet of the day is: Brunson/Shahbazyan starts R2 -130 $65 for $50.

Wups.

Glad I wasn't a big believer in Shahbazyan. Only felt good about it not finishing in R1 since Brunson has been more patient in his last 3 fights.

^ Yup. Over 1.5 was the bet. Didn't pull the trigger on it the since I'm up on this crappy card. Had a hunch on Maia too. But stayed away..

Calderwood fainted after the fight was over. Not sure if it was in the cage, or in the backroom area.

Giles fainted before the fight.

Crazy card.

Calderwood was off all throughout. Preggo?

Possibly.

She's been dating and living with her head coach for awhile.
