Hindsight is 20/20 - What fights have you predicted terribly wrong?

[metalbeat]

Not many of us would of predicted Holm to win, and she went onto slaughter Ronda despite the common fan not giving her much of a chance. So besides Ronda/Holm fight what others have you horribly predicted?

I'll go first. I was terribly wrong about Jones vs. Sonnen. I never would of bet on Sonnen, but I believed he had a huge shot at winning. People were saying how if he could close the distance quick, and turn the fight into a high paced, wrestling war, he could win. I bought into this. Surprisingly however, he did do the strategy laid out above, but was beaten at his own game.

Hall v Whittaker; I had forgotten how weak Hall is mentally.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Rousey/Holm, RDA vs Henderson/Pettis/Cerrone, Sometimes I love being wrong though.

 

[Oshime2]

I have never been so positive of a fight result as I was that Sean Sherk was gonna run a takedown, GNP clinic on BJ Penn.

 

[WallyBear]

Eddie Wineland vs Johny Eduardo.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

BJ vs Edgar I

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Barao/Dillashaw 1 is another time I loved being wrong.

 

[Project 86]

Jones/Shogun

 

[countswagula]

I was really certain Benson would beat Pettis in a rematch.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

All Magny fights. Every time I pick him he loses and vise versa

 

[mma2013]

for sure ronda vs holly and rda vs pettis (i never in my life would have expected rda to fuck up pettis that bad).

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Shogun/all of his losses

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Rr Holm, Cain Fabricio, Anderson Chris I, RDA Bendo/Pettis, Boestch Okami, Yoel Lyoto, Woodley DHK, Mendes Mcgregor

 

[beephin]

BJ Edgar 1
RDA Pettis
Hendricks Fitch

 

[KaySlay]

Jones/Shogun
Cain/JDS 2&3

 

[El Fernas]

Ronda vs Holly. All others i kind of always knew the other guy could actually win it.

 

[Deleted member 448575]

Im going to answer this from a betting point of view. Fights where I lost a lot of money (>5 units) were:
Reem/Bigfoot
Kennedy/Romero
Cain/Werdum
Rory/Lawler ll

 

[rooksta]

So many, too many to count.

Alot of the obvious ones.

Shogun v Forrest
Crocrap vs Gonzaga
Gsp Serra

I even thought nate Diaz might be competitive vs Rory mac

 

[svinko]

Hall vs Mousasi
i bet really 95 euro on that fight :icon_sad:
