UFC 308 PBP/Discussion

Was gonna play Petro earlier this week but bailed on it. I would have thought Shara would have at least been -200 by now yet -180. Feels like a lot of square money on Petro. Petro def cleaner boxer but I think playing him for grappling upside isn't the right play. Bruno and Michel both lost rounds against Shara where they had significant top time. Petro ain't Fluffy or Rodolfo he can get TDs but I don't think he will score anything off them or have an answer for Shara's strikes off his back. Petro can be hurt though and does tire. Shara output is kind of insane for as big as he is and how many kicks as he throws. I think a late KO wouldn't be surprising. Decision juiced to shit. No play from me though on the fight.
 
I hope Shara's tdd holds up. Armen is not that shy about wrestling like he did Duncan in rnd 3. If it turns into a kick boxing fight. im predicting Shara to be a bit faster and win a ud but maybe a split dec.
 
I have fight goes distance and Shara decision here.
 
Aslans KO was the first legit fight to go under 2.5 in the LAST 20 FIGHTS. There were 2 others but not legit due to injuries other 2 were Barnett blowing his ACL from an obese spin kick attempt and RDA blowing out his knee after being punched in the face lol

WTF has been going on in the UFC?
 
Bonuses so far assuming 1 fight of the night 2 performances

Aslan
Magomedov-doubt he hangs on
Oroabi/rebecki fight of the night

People keep saying new gloves but my understanding on them is they are smaller and has less padding so it should have caused more finishes

Yes and No. I think I saw something where Mighty Mouse was reviewing a bunch of MMA gloves. He said that he can deliver the damage even if there is a lot of padding. It's the lack of protection (for him it was specifically the thumb+knuckles) that causes hand breaks, so because of that the fighter is more inclined to pull their strikes a bit or be more cautious when throwing strikes.
So the risk of damage (or increase in hand damage) might legitimately be one of the reasons the smaller gloves are resulting in less punching induced knockouts.
 
Is Shara actually legally blind in that pirate eye? In the prefight interview that shit didn't move at all and was staring at the opposite side of the room
 
Shara Bullett looks like a character from the movie "Wrong Turn"
 
I'd score it 1-0 Shara, but it was competitive
 
Went from regretting bailing on my prefight Petro pick to being relieved I didn't lol
 
ah fk that sucks.

my super prop parlay went dead there. of all the people to get koed.
 
lol how lucky can you get. Petrosyan would've been up 2-0...
 
Okay, I don't like some of his outside the octagon antics, but that was cool as fuck.

Shara KO was +300 for anyone who got it.
 
argh pity arman was starting to get back in the fight late round 2 and maybe put a pace
 
That was great. I had a pre fight bet on Shara and added some live bet action on him as well.
Fantastic finish. Guile would be proud of that Spinning Back Fist action.
