Hello!
In your opinions, has there ever been another event with more predictable\bigger mismatches\bigger odds disparity than ufc 173?
I love gambling, and just looking at the odds of the main event and co-main event for UFC 173, Cormier is 8:1 over Hendo, and Barao is 8:1 over Dilashaw. I mean dear lord, I can't think of another time when in my own opinion, there was such a huge mismatch in BOTH the main and co-main.
I am obviously picking both Cormier and Barao, and I can't even come up with a good parlay that would be worth betting. I used to think mismatches were ok, but from a gambler's perspective I am realizing how un-fun this event is. We all pretty much know what is going to happen in both these fights so why even book them?? Is it just horrible UFC matchmaking or is this just a one-time random occurrence due to the Machida-Weidman fight falling out?
