I just bet a grip on Jose Aldo at -170. What do you guys think? I like mcgregor but seems like Aldo is the perfect opponent vs him. What Connor gonna do to stop those leg kicks? Faber knew they were coming and got chopped down anyways.

afaik, everyone on this site is picking Aldo to win. Since the fight won't happen till July, I haven't thought about what line is good. All I can say, I don't see Conor winning this fight.

As for the Faber vs. Frankie Edgar fight, I think it's Edgar or pass. Either Edgar straight up, or add him to a parlay.

Edit: Aldo is -125 on 5dimes, and -119 on SportBet.

Not sure where else to put it, not quite MMA, but they "hit" each other!!

Mayweather opened at -270 vs. Pacquiao +225 the other day. After the fight was officially announced, Mayweather only dropped 5 points to -265 vs. Pacquiao +220.

I think Mayweather will win, I just don't know how I'll bet the fight, maybe Mayweather by decision. I expected Mayweather to open around -170, so -270 was a bit of a shock.

Since I don't expect Mayweather to win inside the distance, maybe Mayweather by decision at +100 or better, hedged with Pacquiao +220 money line.

Pacquaio is so active and so good at changing angles that I wouldnt rule out a win by decision actually, this will be a great fight.

LATEST ON JON JONES. is in custody in ABQ. 3 car accident.Ran red light. Allegedly under the influence. Jones ran from scene. Cocaine found

Not confirmed by any reputable site yet. But huge if even remotely true.

Jon Jones is suspended indefinitely and stripped of his title. Daniel Cormier fights Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 for the vacant Light Heavyweight championship.


@JonnyBones: Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down.

This sucks. I really hoped they still let Jones fight.

I'm actually a little surprised Cormier is the favorite

I know mma maths isn't very meaningfull, but Gustavson did a lot better than Cormier against Jones, and Rumble beat Gustavson easily. And i wouldn't say Rumble is a great style matchup for cormier.

I think Cormier dominates this fight. Rumble with the punchers chance and that's about it.

I semi agree with you. If it does get to a decision after 5 round, i think its very likely to be Cormier who comes out on top. But Rumble's "puncher chance" isn't that tiny imo.

Rumble hype is big now and I expect the line to be very close to even fight night. And at that price DC will be great value bet. Johnson will have big problems with Cormier's pressure, wrestling and clinch game. It is a bad match up for him and I believe DC finishes him.

- Khabib Nurmagomedov injured his knee, now out of his bout with Donald Cerrone at UFC 187 (the same card Jon Jones was recently removed from). UPDATE: Khabib out for 5 months with meniscus tear.

- Mark Munoz sells Reign Training Center ahead of retirement fight at UFC Fight Night 66:
"I've actually sold Reign Training Center, and I'm looking to get into coaching for wrestling again. For me, my son is going into high school, and my daughter has got two more years of college, and I want to be a dad that leaves a legacy with his children. I want to be able to spend time with them. These past six years have gone by so fast, and I haven't really gotten to spend time with them. I've been spending 12, 13 hours days at the gym, teaching, coaching. And then I've been doing a lot of my community work with my anti-bullying campaign, all the while trying to be a husband to a wife and four kids, and then being a UFC on top of that. It's been a hard year as far as injuries, a lot of stress. So I just want to simplify my life."

"Well, since I'm getting called out, I'll go ahead and put it out there... I won't be taking anymore fights. I had a serious brain injury in my last bout, and after it being my 5th concussion, I'm still dealing with the aftermath. Thank you to everyone whos tood by my side through everything. Thank you to my team and Invicta FC for helping me accomplish all that I have. It's been a crazy ride and now I'm on to the next adventure. Thank you again."
