I wouldn't be one bit surprised if Sean Shelby hands Artem a fight with Zabit Magomedshapirov as a complete 'stop annoying me!'. Zabit is a killer, just signed to the UFC and a fight Artem has little to gain from and every likelihood of losing...

I'm not surprised motherf'ers haha

That poster department, always causing trouble.

Lads, a fairly pointless question but what's the biggest betting odds you've seen on a fighter on a ufc main card?

Probably one of Cyborgs' fights or Rousey v Beth Correia. I'm relatively new to the sport though so I wouldn't remember any of the older mismatches.

Edit: Maybe Serra vs GSP. That would probably be one of the highest odds where the underdog actually won.

DrPhilG

Ronda vs Holm was ludicrous odds too. There's a guy in Vegas I think, well known for big money bets. He cleaned up by putting something huge like $25k on Holm.

Mr. Manager

The highest I remember was Holly Holm @10/1 against Ronda - I'm sure there was higher

JoeyJJ

I had Bisping against Rockhold can't remember odds but I think it was 8/1 or 10/1. Internet isn't helping me remember all I can see is US markets where they have him +425 however I defo got higher.

Awesomeness

DJ vs horgiuchi and Reis were both pretty high I think. Also tj was big favorite over Soto

dave1982

Randy v big tim must have been big odds too

Ronda was 1/12 vs Bethe and Holly with both women 10/1 to beat her. That's the biggest I can remember.

I actually think Dillashaw against Barao 1 is the next highest. TJ closed at 9/1 to win that I believe.

Officially the biggest underdog win in MMA I think is Sokoudjoilu against Big Nog in Pride back in 2007. Sokoudjoilu was 14/1.

Heard someone mention there is going to be a big March 2018 UFC card, but couldn't find anything on it.

Anyone got info on why it's supposed to be a big one and whether a venue has been chosen or even rumoured?

Paddy's day next year is on a Saturday. Could it be a McGregor card? If he fightis in December it's a very tight turnaround and if he doesn't fight in December than it's probably a longer lay off than necessary.

Ugh. I thought Pimblett would have gone away by now.

Clearly beaten by Erosa and dominated by Narimani in his last two fights, missed weight several times too.

Why is The MMA Hour on tomorrow and not today by the way?

Labor day today in the US.

I see Ben Askren is retiring after his next fight. How did he never got in to the Ufc ? Never know how good he really is, but he does look impressive against Bulgarian bin men.

Also annoyed that Pimblett is getting any attention. Gallagher is annoying aswell but at least he is putting his money where his mouth is.

Any word on cains return ?

Really want to see him fight stipe to see who the goat is

Faber and Garbrandt are on Joe Rogan at the moment. Not much interesting said apart from a story about Dillashaw kneeing Chris Holdsworth in the back of the head during sparring and possibly ending his career. Holdsworth is unbeaten at 6-0, and put his career on hold due to concussions he got from training. Hadn't heard this story before (not sure it's been said before) and it doesn't put Dillashaw in a good light if true.

Oh and Gardbrant didn't KO Dillashaw in the video that they supposedly have, just knocked him down.

My god! Gardbrant has no personality at all I think he drags Faber around with him purely to just talk for him

Very boring, can't believe I sat through 2 hours or whatever that was!

I kind of feel Gardbrant was just trying into say anything stupid or make himself or Faber look bad. Faber didn't seen happy with him telling the Holdsworth story either.

Slightly interesting that his plan was to fight Dillashaw in July, and Mighty Mouse in November. I wonder could we still possibly see that if both win their next fights.

There's different spins on it though depending on who is talking about it. Some people read it like TJ angrily got up straight after getting choked out and went for an illegal knee when it could've been an accidental one later on in the sparring session rounds when TJ was going hard. Also apparently Holdsworth himself in the past put more of the blame on himself for going hard sparring for another two rounds after receiving the knee. I'd like to hear TJ's side.

Joanna says her next fight is about to be announced. Her v Rose at UFC 217 maybe? R.I.P Rose in any case
