General MMA Discussion & Future Lines - January, 2018

[Papi]

Is anyone else pumped for this? I love it!!

 

[BatBoyJG]

Dc might retire if he beat stipe so that would have you lose that bet

Love the dc miotic fight. Why should gus get a dc rematch?

I love it for dc a win over stipe can do a lot to get him out from under those 2 Jones losses & I think he has the same thought

 

[danareem]

Guessing DC +145, Miocic -154?

Edit: paddypower has DC +150 Stipe -200

what the fuck.

eric scallan vs carlo prater tonight on LFA..

i was like "wait, who's scallan? and where's prater been?"

look at prater's last 11 fights

but man who the heck is scallan? sub guy who hasn't fought since 2012, himself.. haha.

but wow, prater's sure fallen off the pace, eh... i guess i'm passing, tho...

--------

just watched tape on hernandez and was about to make a bet on allen -150 and he freakin shifted to -185 as i was testing my limits.. grrrr who did that shit

Spann and Nicholson just put on a one round banger. Spann wrestled him early but got hurt badly, Nicholson punches himself out and got knocked out himself. Happy for Spann, he always seemed to come up short when it mattered but he finally got his title.

yea that was fun, heh.

couldn't pull trigger on allen here, too steep w/what little we know about hernandez

 

[ill800]

I’m really hoping dc gets steamed up to +200 after stipe derailed the hype train

 

[vkram]

Hernandez put a clinic on. Allen way too aggressive going for submissions whilst Hernandez kept control instead.

 

[raketmannen]

Also Cormier vs Stipe for HW belt is set-up, which is great, means Cormier will only defend once this year his LHW belt... That odds at skybet is great, everyone has him at around -250 or so.

What if DC beats Stipe, Cain gets some other injury and can't come back, then DC might decide to end his career in HW and vacate the LHW belt, he hates the weightcut to 205 (and all the haters would finally have to acknowledge him as a real champion without Jones shadow looming behind). Still great odds, just a scenario that could happen

 

[pytycrys]

Yeah, sure, might happen, but I think that hold a lot of value still... Other bookies have it at -200...

Also, now they have Cormier LHW + Valentina FLW champs +1600...Dropped 1.5u on that as well..

Edit : Took a bit of Andrade SW champ at the end of the year @ 9.00 at Unibet.

 

[onC]

So I don't really like tying up money for a lot of time, but...

Skybet has DC LHW champ at the end of this year @ 4.00 , while others have it -200... I put 8u on that.
Also, at Unibet, GSP WW champ at the end of the year @ 26.00 , 3u on that..
Also, Unibet, Hunt HW champ at the end of the year @ 101 , 0.5u ..
And Shevchenko Flyweight champ by the end of the year @ 5.00... 4.5u .

A lot of money tied up but great odds IMO..

How on earth can you bet amounts like that on weird props? Or is your unit size like 1$?

I've had 20+ Unibet accounts and I'd be surprised if I could bet 10€@26 on a prop like that on a fresh account...

 

[pytycrys]

10£ unit size, sorry brother, not everyone from here is a millionaire. Just a broke student for about one more year
They accepted 22£ bet at first and the rest was sent for approval and it was ok..

For the record, I had bets of 300£ + on Unibet with no problem. They are kind with me. Paddypower have me limited at 0.44£ though lol

Sorry, didnt mean to offend, I was just confused. Good luck!

I honestly think that was some of the worst reffing that I've seen. Nicholson was hitting the back of the head consistently, no warning. An argument could be made that the fight should have been stopped too. Then Spann hits Nicholson and Nicholson's clearly done, but the ref hasn't seen enough until Spann jumps on top. That was a crazy ass fight.

That was a crazy ass fight.

I think refs are hesitant to call back of the head shots when they think a finish is near. If they call it then it could be fight changing as the guy getting hit gets to recover not only from the shot to the back of the head but also the legal shots. It's a dangerous precedent though.

Yep Hernandez needs to drop to 170 but he's got great instincts in there.. glad someone pushed price on Allen right before I would've bet him heh

 

[rille31]

dc +155

I liked how he kept going for a guillotine but not fully selling out on it and getting better position from it.

 

[2bet]

3,40 Gugabe - Stephens - Barzola - Gillespie 1,18
2,65 ADD - Clark - Cormier - Price 1,44
2,48 2bet - Krause - Makhachev - Price 1,44
1,90 Jamah - Kang - Barzola - Price 1,44
1,90 conmemay - Kang - Barzola - ???
1,80 Papi - Kang - Cormier - Gillespie 1,18
1,60 pytycrys - Usman - Cormier - Brunson 2,45
1,60 EzFlyer - Usman - Cormier - Bektic 1,16

@conmemay your pick is the only one missing, tell me!

 

[Oblivian]

Prater was a solid play last night too. I think his line was so skewed due to his record. If you look at his record recently, it appears a lot worse than it is. The losses appear to be no names, but they are guys with quite a bit of experience and solid records (18-4; 11-1; 13-3; 7-1). Prater is like the lower level MMA gatekeeper.
