[I am not exposed]

Dominick Reyes is fighting again! His 'losing' to Jones really started the downward spiral for him. He hasn't won a fight pre-Jones. Really needs a win here. Jacoby is another step down from Spann.

 

[CDJ]

The problem is I think Jacoby is a better striker than Reyes and Reyes has an annihilated chin. I’m not really sure he is much of a step down from Spann tbh- he’s not as explosive but I think he’s a lot more technical

Rizin card is actually pretty solid


Threw down on a Katona/Lapilus/Ferreira parlay. I got it around +150 but it’s now down to +125 within 24 hrs, I anticipate the sharps make the same reads I did and it finishes around even by the end of the week

Yeah idk why they keep matchmaking him with strikers, I don't see this guys any differently than his last few, fully expecting another KO within the first 10 minutes

Pretty crazy that Butler debuted at 155 against Miller and is now dropping to 135 for his second fight.

He’s going to have quite a big size advantage over Katona, im already getting second thoughts

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Looks like there was some chaos on the scales today... saw a few fighters missed weight on first opportunity and saying that they were under in the scale on the back. The commission then had someone start double checking the scale for each weigh in. So far all but one made weight on the second attempt.

The most surprising thing was that none of them was Butler, who looked like a corpse on the scale though. Moura is the only one who missed and she should be required to move up, she’s missed in both UFC fights now

Shockingly good womens opener on the prelims

Wow that’s not a good decision though. 30-27 Tomar is criminal. Looks like we are gonna have a f***y night

 

[MMC]

There may simply never be another KO again in the UFC

 

[MMC]

Nice knee by Prates

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah a liver shot KO via knee does not look fun

 

[MMC]

7/8 fights on the prelims were decisions with f***ing Puna/Baeza and Marquez/Reese on the main card I’m throwing up

 

[MMC]

It’s impressive how shit this app is

 

[CDJ]

That’s a fun way to win a parlay

 

[CDJ]

Good for the dominator

 

[CDJ]

10-9 Cannonier
19-19

 

[Taytro]

That looked like a way too early stoppage. Jared looked to be recovering more when it was stopped then even like 20 seconds earlier.

 

[CDJ]

Bad stoppage

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I knew this was a greasy card going into it.... but damn Jacoby really hit me hard tonight

 

[Bunk Moreland]

My personal opinion is Herzog and Godard are the two top refs in the biz. I thought it was a quick stoppage (had money on Cannonier) but even so wasn't the most egregious I've seen but it was still bad. I respect seeing this from him.

 

[MMC]

Go ahead and fast track Brunno Ferreira, MW completely lacks contenders with finishing ability
