General MMA discussion and future lines - August 2016

[null]

Saw this on another forum. Some UK sportsbook apparently has the audacity to put these futures up. Ronda Rousey at 500/1 to be Conor McGregor's next opponent is more ridiculous than Hodor to rule Westeros at whatever that stupid line was several months ago.

id throw a bet down on Eddie if i could. i just have a feeling he's gonna go to 155 and leave 145 behind. Prob would also throw a small bit on 'any other fighter' in case they want to give him a tune up fight or something at 155

True. Lineker was a fav against McDonald tho.

 

[Agent Mulder]

He was a slight dog as they entered the ring.

Well I be damned. Wish that was the case on my EU books as well so I could have smashed him even harder then.

I know some people frown upon this but i don't think it makes any difference. Magalhaes Tavares - i expect this to be around evens do we agree?

Has anyone heard from TJ Grant lately? Is he still recovering from his concussion?

Nope he works in the mines but is not officially retired.He's technically in the USADA testing pool.

no i think tavares will be a moderate fav, but still playable.

CB Barroso?

CB Barroso?

CB via Barroso being a giant bum

cb's last fight will give me nightmares for years to come. i don't know if i can trust him again.

Hopefully he learned not to fight like an asshole from it, and hopefully it helps us get close lines here. To be fair Barroso has a style that could effectively make this ugly, but gotta favor CB

I so nearly bet him last fight! I know one leg of a two teamer for that event just trying to work out who i trust more tavares or cb. Tavares fucked me against the barbarian! Cb is fighting at lhw now too wonder if not depleting himself will help his chin albeit i doubt we need to worry about that against barroso.

Gall is also really tempting but thats going against my betting etiquette.

He mentions some great points in this video regarding all of the footage on CM Punk that's circulating around the web lately.

Didn't watch this video but I've watched all the CM punk episodes and it's not that much footage and a lot of it is 1.5 years old.

Splice them and you get 12 minutes of full padded sparring.

The video I posted is only 3 minutes long.

He mentions that there's a live stream of Punk's training.

 

[Sham5916910]

Whats he saying punk is sandbagging us?

 

[LEMONZEST]

IMO Dana saying GSP doesn't have the drive to come back = GSP is coming back soon...

Otherwise wtf is Dana doing talking shit about GSP?!
