Thanks for the picks/writeups GF! I tailed you half-blindly for .5U on Davis, Linderman and the parlay and put down 1U on Starnes - that Dave Herman interview was bizzare indeed. It almost makes one want to see Starnes beat some sense into him, but I guess that's proved impossible already :P

Best of luck to everyone betting tonight!

Great YS, but please don't be salty towards me if we don't hit; I am definitely not as good with Titan as I am with UF. Mainly b/c the participants are all so flawed and/or flakey having any faith in them is difficult as they are inconsistent.

UFC vet (briefly) Pedro Nobre wins a dominant decision against Dan O'Connor.

Also for you Starnes bettors, the commentators just said that Kalib weighed in at eight pounds heavier than Dave Herman, not lighter! He also looked really relaxed back stage as opposed to Dave Herman in the brief clips they just showed.

Yea, that's what I posted to EZ (I think it was) yesterday, that Herman was down at like 235 & Starnes at 240 or so. What was their official weights? I'll try and google it.
 
Walel Watson finishes William Joplin in the third round with a rear naked choke and earns the first finishing bonus of the night.
 
Alvin Robinson appears to be in the first bout on CBS Sports Network on tv next.
 
Any have a stream they can PM me? I don't have cable and I can't find anything so far on my own.
 
On the tv intro they just said the opposite of what I heard earlier, Dave Herman did weigh in heavier but only by eight pounds over Starnes.
 
Aw man, looks like this it's gonna be impossible to find any way to view this as a European :icon_cry2

Yea, it's no biggie just wanted some action so put down some small bets - although it seems I won't be able to watch it at all. You won't see me whining over losing a bet I tailed, that's just childish.

Jackson/Herman/Jardine - 4.50 to win 15.05
Jackson/Shamhalaev/Herman - 2 to win 4.49

looks like most are against herman because of the interview, I don't think anyone that gets kicked out of the ufc wants to lose there first fight somewhere else I think the interview was a joke. I agree its hard to find a stream on this one
 
Alvin Robinson loses by TKO (referee stoppage) in round 2.
 
Man I'm really thrilled to have gotten Davis at +odds. I really believe that if Davis comes out like to do his potential he will easily win this fight . He will have the wrestling advantage and he is for bigger and stronger than Brilz is.. This may be a case of the sharps getting an edge on the bookies as they do not know the fighters very well and are instead going off name recognition.
 
Gilbert Smith still looking as clueless in the cage as he did 2 years ago.

----------

Gilbert Smith with a low blow on Foster, the referee didn't see it but, Foster bends over like you usually do when you get hit in the crotch and then Gilbert almost gets a TKO. On to round 3.

Im watching it right now, good quality. If anyone wants to message an old friend and see what im up to go ahead
 
Foster got fucked by the ref! He won the first round easily and was winning the second round easily with about a minute left and Gilbert landed a low blow and the ref didn't stop it and Gilbert just kept going and ended up on top of foster and probably wins. Foster was absolutely smoking Gilbert and then he Gastin the third round
 
Wow I'm surprised the judges actually got it exactly right.

It was exactly like Frank Trigg and Matt Hughes with Trigg jumping on Matt after hitting him in the nuts
 
Foster luckily got the decision win on all judges cards, 29-28. First decision win of his career.
 
Bonnar just said that Dave Herman told them all he did was jog and build a house that he didn't go to a training camp or have fighters over to train with him

Yet the Starnes line has actually gone up a bit on my bookie.. Tempting to put down another unit but not sure if Herman has just gone full troll at this point to stir up some attention.

That and how good Kalib Starnes looked in his last fight is why I have two units on him. I also heard a long and detailed interview with Kalib a few weeks ago where they discussed fighting and also life in general and he sounded like a really grounded and self-aware guy.
