[SPX]

Fujii giving it another shot in Bellator . . . not sure I expected that.

[poopoo333]

Kind of like Spang here if it stays standing and he is better than +150 or so. Falcao probably has the takedown/grappling advantage though.

[poopoo333]

Sparks -170, other guy +140
Fuji -175, aguilar +145
Amoussou -165, Rickels +135
Falcao-345, Spang +265

[poopoo333]

I like Spang +265. X, thought on Fujii @-175? She is usually -1000

[Svino]

I like Spang +265. X, thought on Fujii @-175? She is usually -1000

I like Fujii here, even though she's already down to -230.

[SPX]

Yeah, Fujii at -175 was excellent. The line is wandering down Gay Lane, though.

[Svino]

Looks like Falcao missed weight by 3 pounds on the first try.

[SPX]

Uh oh. . .

[SPX]

Some dude on Junkie Radio called in the other day and said he did some research on UFC fights and that, in the fights that he looked at where a fighter missed weight and the fight was held at a catchweight, their collective record was 3-13.

[Svino]

I'm not surprised, but that's an interesting stat.

For what it's worth, Falcao did make weight on his second attempt.

[poopoo333]

How long did he have to cute those last 2 lbs?

[Svino]

How long did he have to cute those last 2 lbs?

Two hours, I think.

[SPX]

I'm not surprised, but that's an interesting stat.


Really? I actually did find it kind of surprising. I generally think that, unless the fight is very closely matched, the more skilled guy will win even if he didn't have the best preparations.

Well generally when someone can't make weight and has to fight at a catchweight it means something was very wrong with him during camp. Either sickness or a nagging injury that prevented him from cutting and or training properly. Someone who is realistically at 60-70% of optimal condition probably loses to someone they would have otherwise stomped on.

[Svino]

Or to put it another way, the UFC makes a lot of fights between relatively evenly matched guys.

[poopoo333]

Anybody watching?

[Ludo]

Fuck that asian bitch who cost Me a Parlay!

[SPX]

Maybe you should instead be saying fuck the judges.

[Ludo]

Maybe you should instead be saying fuck the judges.

Why would I say that? Bitch let Aguilar back into it in the second round by deciding she was going to be Jacylin fucking Chan for five minutes.

[SPX]

I didn't see it, but I have heard from a lot of people that Megumi should've won 1 and 3.

So . . . fuck the judges, right?

[poopoo333]

The decision was far from a robbery imo

[Ludo]

The decision was far from a robbery imo

I wasn't very surprised by the decision to be honest. The second round was all Aguilar, the third round all Fujii, and the first round was alot of standing work but Fujii did have a close armbar near the end of the round.
