Can't wait to see Khamzat, finally.

Khamzat gonna p0wn.

 

[Burt Gummer]

@AshWilliams Costa is such a physical specimen. Khamzat won't be picking him up and carrying him around like the Leech, but otherwise I believe you are correct.

That said, maybe because of the additional weight of 15 lbs, not sure, but KC looks ten years older and a little slower now. Much stronger though. He looks like he has devasting KO power to go with the amazing wrestling/grappling.

On another note, loved people speaking out about Laura Sanko commentating ---

DC: "can you imagine a 6'7 dude on top you"
Laura Sanko: "Yes"

I just saw that UFC 294 will be at 11 am PST, so most venues won't be showing it. Dang, no Big Al's this time around.

@AshWilliams It isn't a PPV card. You should be able to watch at home via ESPN / ESPN.

Just a "Fight Night" card. https://www.espn.com/mma/

ESPN+ is only $10/month and probably the last media subscription I have after thinning the herd and canceling just about everything else but Spotify.

UFC 294 isn't PPV?!

 

[Burt Gummer]

Oh sorry brain fart I thought you were referring to tomorrow's card

 

[Burt Gummer]

A small bet on two dogs today.

Big Mouth Holland and Grasso.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Well done vid on Sean.

Sorry homey, my money is on Shevchenko.

 

[AshWilliams]

Sorry homey, my money is on Shevchenko.

I may have made a mistake. It looks like this fight card is stacked for Mexico.

 

[AshWilliams]

Interesting decision...

 

[Burt Gummer]

Did a little live betting tonight. Two wins on live dogs. Would have had three, but VS/Grasso was a draw - bet canceled.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Mike Bell with his 10-8 round 5 was an obvious fix to save Grasso from a loss. A disgrace. Hope he was paid well under the table for that BS.

Now Grasso probably won't rematch Shevy and she fades away. MMA is like life I guess, rarely ever fair.

Future significant bet I posted here a couple months ago is:
Jailton Almeida at -140 Odds much more steep now
Moneyline
Curtis Blaydes vs Jailton Almeida
Curtis is outmatched here

Of course they're not going to strip Grasso of her title in front of a largely Mexican crowd in Nevada on the eve of Mexican Independence Day during Noche UFC. ¡Viva México!

They're trying to grow the market there and doing so would sabotage that effort, and at the end of the day UFC is a business.

 

[Burt Gummer]

At least Shevey is not falling apart over it, her determination is unabated. Hardcore lady.

Note to self: When Mike Bell is a judge and one of the fighters is promoted to win by the UFC, bet the +5000 draw.

 

[AshWilliams]

"Unfortunately, I think this event because it's Mexican Independence Day, that's why it affected the decision of the judge to give 10-8 in the fifth round," Shevchenko said. "From my experience, 10-8, it's when one fighter completely cannot do nothing. It's like running around, looking for an escape from the octagon. It's like miserable."

Nailed it.

 

[Burt Gummer]

All of Costa's trash talk is entertaining, but he will pay for it Oct 21st

 

[Burt Gummer]

Colby is being pulled off the shelf finally. At least he is an entertaining person, like him or hate him.
