These are not huge upsets, the hype is just more effective on the viewers than it used to be. Back in the day, if a 145 lb champion moved up two weight classes to take on a lanky, tough as nails contender, it would've been seen as a very risky fight.

not huge? lol

I don't really see how these were huge upsets. Ronda was a garbage striker, I knew Holly would knock her out if she had any takedown defense whatsoever. She leads with her chin, and the punches follow. Holly was a boxer with minimal experience on the ground, so Tate beating her wasn't out of the question. McGregor was going up against a bigger man who is a very solid boxer and had the BJJ background to expose McGregor's untested ground skills.

I hope that means Jon Jones is going down soon

jones aint losing unless he moves to heavyweight

All it may take is one successful takedown from Cormier.

They arent really upsets to the hardcore fans. This sport is becoming more mainstream so more casuals that buy into the bullshit hype are making the betting lines easy.

Holly trains at Greg Jacksons/Winks and doesnt move forward unlike the rest of the soccer mom division. Ronda trains at a bum gym and filming movies.

Conor gets hit in every single fight and was going up against a guy with one of the highest punch output, with a height/reach advantage with legit boxing and Black belt in BJJ. Also moving up in weight. Conor trains at a suspect gym.

These FACTUAL statements can be clouded by "Once ever athelete!" "GOAT, P4P" "Celebrity xx Tweets out support for Ronda/Conor/XX" . If I told you all this shit in this post a year ago, who would YOU bet against?

I parlayed the following for the past weeks,

Bisping + Diaz
Tate + Diaz

Diaz+Tate+Lombard+Hunt (2 are closed so far)

Also bet only on Diaz.

Not upsets in my eyes... Just good value.

Needless to say, I've made a killing this weekend.

[The Penetrator]

Hype machine is stronger than ever and promotes fighters as unbeatable gods of MMA while in reality they had a couple of good fights, and its a sport where 1 detail can change the end result...

Also i have no idea whats wrong with oddsmakers, seems those guys never seen any fights just watch Dana White interviews....

Diaz vs McGregor was no upset. The way the fight unfolded was very logical.

Holly / Honda was a huge upset, Werdum / Cain was somewhat of an upset, McGregor / Diaz was no upset at all.
