Actual betting wise I only picked Pennington (largely cos Andrade was a late replacement and because I thought Pennington was going to try and wear her down in the clinch rather than strike at range like last time), PVZ inside the distance and Corey Anderson, who I bet to win by decision at +300. Blachowicz showed really week gameplanning and will to win vs Manuwa and I thought Corey's athleticism and cardio would win out. I was pretty nervous that it was going to get stopped at the end of R2 so watched all R3 on fast foward :) Other than that, I bet a load of overs. Pearson vs Felder over 1.5, Silva vs Malegerie over 1.5, Manuwa vs Johnson over 1.5, Jan vs Corey over 2.5, so my only losing bet was Manuwa not going over 1.5 rounds. I expected that fight to largely take place in the clinch / on the ground but obviously whenever it wasn't there, there was a significant chance of a finish so wasn't surprised it lost :)
