-1050 and completely justified. Should probably be even higher. What a joke. Would be the biggest upset in MMA history IMO.

Poirer + Cruz + Rockhold pays -118 right now, I doubt any of them lose, obv Poirier being the most risky but I don't think Green is as live as the odds indicate.

Rockhold is -460 at betsafe atm, if anyone has that option and is interested

Not in love with Poirier line. I am probably going to play Bobby Green. His boxing is more crisp and Dustin has a tendency to leave his chin up in the air.

Thinking about stomping that -230 line at Rockhold + Cruz, though. Both fights are locks, imo.

-460? Nuts

I got luke at -700 on bovada. Probably worse since I last checked it tho. Luke + crux seems close to a lock

Green is really good, I agree he has the crisper boxing/head movement, I just don't see him winning rounds vs Poirier the way he fights. He might land the majority of clean shots but Poirier will be the one pressing the action, throwing in space, and def hits harder. + the career trajectory and activeness favors Poirier big time, he's much more dedicated.

Will be a good fight though. They've been talking that shit on twitter.

Since there's no UFC this weekend, here's a classic video of Prebek doing the best MMA impersonations to hold you over.

Rousimar Palhares Just got KOed in less than a minute. Glad that bet didnt open on betsson or Inkabet because I was going to bet on Palhares by submision, and of course I am happy cause Palhares is a fucking prick.

Jason Miller Lost too:



Luke Barnatt won:



Sorry for the spoilers xd

i think thug rose and tecia torres are definitelyyyyy bangable.

Oh, for sure.

I'd raw dog both of them.

Lol fuck palhares, don't know how that guy even gets a fight anymore.

Fools definitely juicing in that venator league, full blown banging Test daily

Matt Hamill lost in that event and Cody Mckenzie won

- Official: Robbie Lawler vs. Tyron Woodley headlines UFC 201.

- Demetrious Johnson vs. Wilson Reis at UFC 201.

- John Lineker vs. Michael McDonald set for UFC Fight Night 91 co-main event.

- Ian McCall vs. Justin Scoggins booked for UFC 201.

- Thiago Alves vs. Al Iaquinta set for UFC 202 in August.

- James Te Huna retires from MMA.

- B.J. Penn out of UFC 199 due to USADA IV violation:
"I voluntarily disclosed to USADA that during a non-fight period that I had an IV administered under the care of a doctor. The rule for IV usage had changed since my last fight in the UFC and was unaware of the change and voluntarily disclosed the information to USADA. I had no idea that IV use was banned 365 days a year. At no time in my career in martial arts have I ever doped and anticipate all test results from USADA will come back clean and will be working with the UFC to get the matter cleared up and return to fight as soon as possible."

- B.J. Penn via his Twitter on July 5, 2015: "I love the new PED and IV ban in the UFC. I never took an IV in my life after a weigh-in. IVs are for wimps! #BeerAndHotDogs"

McCall vs Scoggins is an awesome matchup.

I thought the iv ban was just in relation to weight cutting too and not a 365 day a year ban. What if you go to ER or whatever and legit need one.

How is Woodley getting the shot at Lawler? That could be a slow boring fight... woulda thought that the dude who just smashed Hendricks would be getting the title shot.

Yea I'm surprised they went through and gave Woodley the shot. Guy's going to lay back and do some intense staring and posturing to try to bore Robbie into overcommitting so he can level change. And UFC usually doesn't reward inactivity sitting around for that title shot. He ko'd Dong Hyun Kim and won a pretty boring split decision over Gastelum before like 16 months of nothing

It's a little impressive how much of a joke BJ has become both outside and inside the octagon...especially in light of how respected or almost revered he was before

Yeah is weird cause Woodley dont sell a shit and Wonderboy is a marketable guy, I think Wonderboy can take Lawler. I was surprised that they gave him Rory, I wanted to see Rory vs Lawler again and also Wonder vs Lawler : (

Most upcoming title fights/MEs are a joke. Women strawweight probably gonna be the closest one.
UFC probably prays to bank hard @ UFC 200
Outside of ME/title fights there are tons of good match ups though imo

Yah BJ is the classic case of an ego run completely rampant to the point of oblivion. Guy is a mess.

I don't care for the Woodley v Lawler matchup, would've been a fine Co-Main but that as a headliner with DJ vs fucking Wilson Reis is not a good 1-2 punch. It's the post 200 placeholder card so w/e.

Hopefully 202/203 on we can get McGregor back in the every 5 PPV cycle, whether you are a fan of him personally or not he's good for the big-night feel, makes everything seem bigger.

yea mcgregor does make the event bigger period and his fights are always fun. curious to see if he just fights diaz again still or goes with something else. I do like Mcgregor was just annoyed with some of his antics

Mayweather just tweeted this :


guess its too much money to pass on or they are fishing for marketing purposes

its quite the boss move from McGregor though, after the UFC showing him he s not the man, he comes back over the top and will practically be worth tons more afterwards if they want him on cards
super sick business move
