UFC 266 play by play

[Captain Chesapeake]

Took too long shev

 

[mkess101]

She's like a cat batting a mouse around until she gets bored...

 

[Gambling Man]

In this division she's so far above everybody else that -- outside of a freak occurrence -- we know she's going to win. It's just a matter of whether she finishes or not and that only seems to come down to her mood on the night. Betting whichever outcome has the larger odds seems to be the play, especially when she seems to alternate between finishes and decisions and the odds reflect her last fight

Well this aged badly

 

[Monster Meat]

Yessssss tko hits!

 

[Captain Chesapeake]

I was trying to bet fdngtd at +220 after rd 3 but of course they locked it up on me

 

[SolarSeiko]

Did Lauren tap?

No. Ref stoppage?

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

got volkonovski to close a parlay

But does he finish Brian

 

[MidgardSerpent]

No. Ref stoppage?

I understand it was a ref stoppage, but she looked like she was tapping a moment before that.

 

[Captain Chesapeake]

What can’t shevchenko do?

 

[mkess101]

WTF she speaks 3+ languages too?

Show off.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

It took Valentina this long because Murphy was trying not to lose there.



BTW... I need the next fight to go to distance but I would not be mad if Ortega gets knocked the fuck out.

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

But does he finish Brian

probably not but could see doctor stoppage if face is mangled as ortega is pretty damn tough

 

[BigSteve]

boys im cooked, up 2u so I'm sprinkling Ortega 2.70. Lets go

 

[mkess101]

Ortega looked completely reinvented vs KZ. Volk is a different animal though, and a different puzzle to solve.

Love this fight.

Edit: And for the record I have some on Ortega +144 and +160 (averaged out to +156)

 

[Kamais_Ookin]

what volkanovski was able to do vs holloway across 10 rounds is otherworldly, ortega ain't shit level below. can't see him winning other than pulling off some meme

 

[mkess101]

Rolling with one of the better no gi guys in bjj Craig Jones is a + for Volk but Jones is kind of a leglock specialist (like a ton of the top no gi guys are now). Not sure that's the perfect guy to prepare for Ortega who's always looking for the neck.

Kinda thought Max won the second fight. Obviously Max butchered Ortega so no comparison. Guess we'll see if Ortega really did make that monster leap or if KZ was just a much better matchup for him.

it was very close but volkan outstruck holloway both fights, no one else can hope to do this. KZ can be abused with the right approach like the one ortega did. This should be a good fight nontheless

 

[mkess101]

Close rd 1. Volk was out ahead, Ortega stung him twice late. Still think Volk, but very close.
