Who handpicked the best? I.e. whose victory was most guaranteed?

GSP - Ping
Conor - Cowboy
Fedor - Maldonado

Or someone else?
 
Based on the betting lines most likely outcome of the Conor fight was 1rd TKO. I’m going to pick that one, of the ones listed.
 
It's hard to beat the Conor/Donald fight. It was such a recipe for disaster for Donald. Everything about Donald's weakness fall into Conor's strengths. GSP is just better all around than Bisping and Maldonado can absorb a truck hitting him so that's why Fedor had so much difficulty in that fight. But everybody knows Donald cannot deal with pressure the first round and that is precisely what Conor is a specialist at.

Wasn't the line relatively close for Conor vs Cowboy though? You guys are hindsighting pretty hard here or just going off a prop bet.

I could be wrong, but wasn't it within +/- 300ish. That's not horrible and I trust Vegas more than anyone's opinion here generally, especially when it comes to McGregor there seems to be a lot of delusional hate and jerking on both sides of the spectrum.
 
Cowboy was considered a dangerous fighter until the McGregor fight was signed.

Then, people started calling him a bum to discredit any potential win by Conor or make Conor look worse if he loss.

What on Earth are you talking about? The man was 4 and 6 in his last 10 with 4 of those 6 losses coming by way of TKO. Even Conor's most bitter haters knew that this was a shoe in for him.

Bisping was on his way to an easy UD, and Maldanado Tko'd Fedor

and if thats the case Masivdal, Till and Geathje all cherry picked cowboy

P.S. fuck yo mma math, son
 
Chuck Liddell vs Jeremy Horn was pretty blatant. Chuck just wanted to avenge a loss from years ago.

Pride was full of gimme fights, but a lot of them backfired. Anderson vs Takase, Sakuraba vs Schembri, etc

Yes. Cerrone is a complete bum that loses to other bums like McGregor.
 
Royce Gracie vs. Art Jimmerson. It wasn’t a coincidence Gracie was in the opening bracket with the professional boxer. They knew what they were doing

What part of what I said is incorrect? You're building a strawman and shifting away from what I posted
 
The worst would be Kelvin Gastelum vs... Multiple old past their prime dudes coming off of losses lol. Marquardt, Bisping, Vitor, Kennedy and then not quite that old but 3 fight ko loss streak Weidman... He also went after Old Man Silva
