WEC 48

[Luke]

I would like to give the first to Faber but it was mostly a feeling out round, and Aldo landed more devastating strikes. He landed the knee that made Faber wince and spin around to back off real fast, and he also had the leg kick that put Urijah on the mat, normally I don't put alot of stock in a leg kick that drops someone while they are using the other leg to kick with, but he timed it perfectly. Even without the knockdown due to kicking out the post leg Aldo landed better shots.

Props to Aldo, he is the true champion of the Featherweight division. My respect for both these guys went through the fucking roof tonight.

I would have made the first a 10-10 round but I hate making rounds 10-10.Either way someone scored it Im not going to argue .I was just giving you crap.If I gave 10-10 rounds it would have been one but I dont

[Luke]

I did post. Then I edited it to say 'nvm'. heh

I would of laughed my ass off

[Luke]

2-3
-1.43u

I still can't believe I basically blew my Henderson winnings on a Henderson prop bet. Who would have known he was going to win by a FIRST ROUND SUBMISSION? oh the irony

The Brown/Gamburyan fight could have made me or broke me tonight if I decided to bet on it. I was very close to putting 0.5u on Gamburyan @+500 and figured it was just throwing away money. And right before the fights tonight, I almost put 5u down on Brown @-500.

Just be glad you didnt take Brown.


Man Mike Brown sure has fallen fast.Almost as quick as Torres

[SPX]

Faber: .5u to win 1.03u
Gamburyan: .25u to win 1.25u
Njokuani: .5u to win .73u
Cheesesteak: .25u to win 1.13u
Cowboy: 1.05u to win 1u
Miz/Jorgensen: 1u to win 1.13u

A few things here. . .

1. +.08u. Fucking ha ha. Basically the definition of breaking even on a card. The Manny bet saved me some hurt for sure and the Miz/Jorgensen parlay was at the very last minute so those were two decisions that kept me from being in the gutter on this one. I'm surprised that at least ONE of my other bets didn't come through.

2. Crazy ass finish by Gamburyan. I bet he's looking at a title shot after that performance. I knew he shouldn't be +500.

3. Disappointing performance by Cowboy. What the fuck was that shit? Congrats to you guys who were on Bendo. Cerrone seems to have this ability to get oh-so-close to the belt but fucks it up at the last step.

4. Glad that Mizugaki won. I really like him. I need to try to find that fight.

5. After the first round of Faber/Aldo, I was hopeful. But then Aldo just ran away with it. Sucks. I guess he'll be sitting in that position for a while.

6. KOREAN ZOMBIE GOT FUCKING ROBBED!!!!!!!!!

[SPX]

No one will ever break Urijah Faber's spirit.

Truth. Dude comes to fight and there's no quit in him.

[SPX]

I might just swear off WEC events totally after this. Twice in a row now I've fucking bombed on them, totally 3.5u in losses each time.

I'm about even overall with betting on WEC events. I think it's harder and one of the biggest reasons for that is that the fights are a lot harder to find so research ends up being sketchier, unless you're dealing with the fighters who you see all the time like Faber, Cerrone, etc.

WEC bonuses:

Gamburyan KO of the night

Hendo Submission of the night

Jung/Garcia fight of the night

Each guy gets 65k for the bonuses

Wow, huge bonuses for the WEC. Aren't they usually like $7K? I guess that's what going to PPV gets you.

By the way, I'm really curious to see what kind of numbers the event did.

[zY|]

Yeah, SPX. I'd be pretty surprised if Manny isn't fighting Aldo next. He completely vanquished Mike Brown.

My guess is management was probably pretty happy because they were like, "Hey, now we can legitimately give Aldo someone other than Faber and Brown."

^^Pretty cool of Dana to speculate on Mike Brown's personal business.

^^^ I wish I knew what fight those judges were watching.

[zY|]

What are you referring to?

[SPX]

What are you referring to?

I am referring to the outright robbery that was the Jung/Garcia fight.

[zY|]

Right. Pretty terrible. I knew Garcia would get it too.

He should literally be 0-5 in his last 5 fights, yet he's 2-2-1 thanks to some judging favors. Sad.

It's stuff like this that I wish I knew before betting on someone.

Round one was close

49-44 means they gave Aldo a 10-8 in the 3rd too.So they had the same score as I did.I dont give a lot of merit to them anyway

Faber's leg today
