UFC/MMA Log 2017

mailburner

Here I go again to try and make amends for last years losing log which was -66 after 126 bets


Bet 1

rodriguez/ansaroff double @ 2.14 (1.28+1.66)
24 (returns 51.42)
Betway

I think the 1.28 on rodriguez is free money and hopefully this time penn will stay retired
Ansaroff should have a lot of improvement in her esp with nunes on top position on a daily basis, lybarger isn't very good either

I probably won't get a bet up any easier than this all year and hopefully
it won't be the only time this log is in profit
mc gee pts at 5/2 was the only other bet in my head so a bullet dodged, did think he would get the verdict though

Division

Looking forward to reading your thread over the year. I'm still probably 2 years away from betting MMA if at all but will be interested to read your take on certain matchups.

22 Jan 2017 - Chael Sonnen v Tito Ortiz - Method of Result

Chael Sonnen By Decision @ 7/4

Stake : €10.00
Hills

Bit of a farce of a match up tbh but tito is so far past it that I find it hard
to make a case for him to win by any method...sonnen is hardly in his prime either for that matter but he wouldn't knock out the cat and I doubt he subs tito either so I'll chance sonnen by pts
I don't think I'll sit through this one or rather go out of my way to look for it in the morning...it should be a classic though

cerrone v masvidal

Cerrone to win on pts 2/1
20

cerrone by sub 13/2
4
skybet


My thinking on this is mainly how tough masvidal is to finish, can't remember ever seeing him in any trouble and he's fought the best

It's 8 years since he was finished and has only 3 finishes in his last 19 fights but 2 of those ko's were again ferreira (no chin) and ellenberger which looked the most likely outcome given the way jake fights
I doubt cowboy finishes masvidal unless possibly by sub...of course masvidal winning this on pts a strong possibility also, just have a feeling cerrones will do that little bit more and win on pts
I think this has 3 rounds written all over it tbh and the fight going the distance was something i had originally planned on doing in a double with ngannou but it's his first big test and the price is dire

couldn't have been more wrong, a very aggressive masvidal made all

Do you have an opinion on how Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson will play out?

Can Ferguson deal with Khabib on the ground?

I don't know how it will play out tbh but I believe we will get to see everything in what I think will be a crazy fight
The more is stays standing the more I fancy tony

I think ferguson might the only fighter to be able to deal with khabib on the ground and given how good he is off his back and I'd be surprised if he doesnt do a lot of damage himself there also.
It really is an awful hard fight to weigh up in my opinion but I just love the way tony fights and think he's just an awful match up for most...same applies to khabib though

it's been in my head to back tony for this since it was confirmed

PopePalpatine

Khabib's been ruled out due to complications while cutting weight.

Stake : €35.00
hills

woodley by ko 5/1
5
skybet

I lumped on wonderboy for the first fight and was fortunate enough to get my money back on that
I think wonderboy has only one gameplan and just think woodley has more ways to win this and think he could possibly stop wonderboy
I think he has a point to prove and will win more decisively on this occasion

mailburner

BET 10

evans 1/2
overeem 8/11
16 double (ret 41.45)
skybet

If overeem can stay out of hunts range I think he wins this, it probably won't
be exciting to watch
rashad should surely have to much class for kelly, can't believe he has declined that much and unless he gets into a brawl I think he wins this comfortably

I think overeem will be very cautious coming from being knocked out and maybe just maybe that price is value

I suppose he did win it more decisively than the first fight going by the scores :P
woodley wins by the skin of his teeth and this was losing going into the last, so near to a ko also

Barbosa lands a ko, very close fight up to that, means fight goes a few seconds over the 1.5 so finally a bit of luck, accum lands in the main event and to be fair if that fight had somehow gone over 3.5 I think I would have given up betting
