UFC 312 PBP/Discussion

[Guld]

Both guys got their noses cut up a bit on that one.
Just like the first, Dricus just more active 2-0.
I am enjoying how much he's working the legs and body.

I'd give Strickland rd 3, think 2-1 DDP at this point but...?

Yeah, maybe. That was a coinflip IMO.
I'd say either 2-1 or possibly 3-0 Dricus. Dricus did seem a bit more labored, and that was definitely the round for Strickland to start putting his foot on the gas. He KINDA did, but not enough IMO.

 

[Stat_Collector]

3-1 Dricus or 4-0 in at least 1 judges scorecard.

 

[Guld]

Big round for Dricus.
Either 4-0 or 3-1 Dricus. I have a feeling that if Sean pushes the pace Dricus will just take him down and play it safe.

 

[mkess101]

DDP pretty clearly

 

[Guld]

Man, I didn't want to say anything to jinx it, but thanks to some solid reads and some solid livebetting, I came ahead on every fight I bet on for this card.
A big night for me, with Zhang being my biggest payout.
I lost on the last card, and I lost of bunch on hockey lately, so this definitely gets me back on track.
I hope you all had a great one as well!

 

[Stat_Collector]

alright card. The two chinese fighters saved my night, im up like 10 units.

I have a long parlay that extends to next 3 events, hoping no fight gets canceled.

Rodolfo Bellato needs to be labled as "pretty lucky" fighter, right? Twice in a row a stoppage loss would have been easily warranted but refs choice to give him a chance now got him a 1-0-1 record to start his ufc run. There have been others like him and I think the momentum works in his favour and he lands a decent career out of this. Could see a rematch with Bellato taking it since Crute seems like bit of a headcase. Not based on this fight as he did good here but overall.

He's definitely proven to be a "he can survive an onslaught and mount an impressive comeback" fighter.
If nothing else, it might be worth hammering his live line if something similar happens in the future.
