I started a thread a couple of weeks ago about putting $5k on DC. Got flamed because I didn't post a bet slip (I sent the money to a friend in Vegas that bets with a bookie he knows there).
Well, here's the follow up and some random comments:
In fact, I signed up on Bovada.com and put another $1500 on DC, so I lost $6500 tonight.
I was a little disappointed that DC would let Jones push him against the cage that way, was impressed with DC's performance in R2, and thought that Jones showed a great fight IQ (switching from going toe to toe with DC in R2 to fighting from a range in R3 and using some creative elbows -- he had DC guessing a lot).
I feel sorry for DC -- seems like he's the kind of guy that would become suicidal after a loss like this to someone he genuinely hates. I don't think there's any reason for excuses -- Jones beat him fair and square -- but I remain a DC fan and hope that he can come back stronger (though that's unlikely, given his age and the big psychological blow he took tonight).
Well, $6500 down the drain, but I haven't been that pumped up for a fight since Fedor fought Crocop in Tokyo.
I won't be buying any UFCs for a while, though -- the shitty under card + giving Conner a lengthy commercial which resulted in no interview with Cerrone, Jury or DC -- is enough to justify just watching the events on pirated sites. You suck, UFC.
Heads up DC, and nice job, John.
