Bellator 207 tonight. I just bet 20 bucks on Mittrione cause he is at +250 against Bader

I caught that and also bet on Mitrione thinking it was good value on first impression.

Probably isn't though. I now remember watching Mitrione struggle with pretty simple grappling stuff on the ground against inferior wrestlers/GNP than Bader. Probably a case of Mitrione needing to land something real clean early. Much like me betting on Conor

Anyone got a stream for bellator?

Sergei just knocked out Roy Nelson.

I can't believe Sergei closed at +230.

I was so sure that was an Ev+ bet lol

I should stop betting x_X

Bader is going to easily win this now

Bader used the same strategy against Mitrione like he used against Rumble Johnson. That being said, Rumble actually has a wrestling background, while Mitrione is a one-dimensional boxer.

I can't believe Sergei closed at +230 against Roy Nelson... I slightly favored Sergei pre-fight.

Khabib seems to be self destructing quite quickly

he doesn't know how to play the game. if mcgregor won, i think he'll be so humble about it.

Conor is humble in victory and defeat. He already proved this.

He will talk enough shit to get inside of his opponent's head pre-fight, but then show them respect if he wins or loses the fight.

We haven't heard anything from Conor after the fight, except for his tweet that said it was a good knock/good fight:

Am I the only one who thinks that finish between Fedor and Sonnen looked fishy?

Fedor was clearly going for it but I think Sonnen took a "dive", he got Fedors back and then he tries some bizarre Karelin flip? and then Fedor is wobbly from exhaustion, because this fat-old version of Fedor only lasts for half a round of gas, Sonnen crawls into a ball after recieving no damage... Fedor in his exhaustion attempts some weak hammerfirsts that land on Sonnens arms while he waits for the ref to stop it.

The ref calls it, Sonnen immediatly gets up looking fresh and congratulates Fedor, I think its the first time in my life that I think an MMA fight is very likely fixed

Sonnen's restaurants are probably not doing very well

People thought the same thing when he fought Tito Ortiz in his Bellator debut.

I think he threw both of those fights.

what a Shame because I think Sonnen would have won with ease on the 2nd round, Fedor was done despise landing so many hard shots and fighting well, he is simply just old, please retire after this tournament

Bader opened at -170 which is one of the biggest steals I've seen in MMA betting. He's now at -390 and that's still probably a major value.

Sean Oconnel just won 1 million dollar on PFL 11 (he won the LHW tournament) so happy for him.

Yeah, I was happy to see Louis Taylor and Sean O'Connell win their fights for $1 million each and a PFL title. Both are old fighters and are the type of guys who are easy to root for.
