got a small parlay on jacare and waterson.

very surprised watterson is the underdog in this fight, i just don't know what to think of rose, she a mental headcase. i like watterson standup but she can get reckless on the ground though.

I´ve wondered how betting on fights works. Can you hit me with the basics? (nh)

HOLY FUKK WOW

Thanks man

He´s using his height really well to keep Nelson at a decent distance with his kicks and switching stances constantly to throw him off as well.

It was like 2 months ago. Light work, took no damage.

Not cool how he´s getting treated by the UFC though... should be fighting at least for an interim belt. Or are they now stopping with the whole interim belt thing?

Actually interim titles really make no sense, but it does kind of work in the case of someone like Jacare who clearly deserves fighting for a belt, but so does Romero... and then they throw GSP in the mix. It´d be better to see Jacare - Romero for the Interim title or for a guaranteed title shot. Jacare can´t really win here.. if he wins he does more or less what is expected since he made such light work of Tim Boetsch, in the case that he loses no title shot..

Volkov representing for Bellator by tuning up Nelson on the feet. Good use of kicks.

Talking about Bellator: is it turning into the go-to place for guys who can´t cut it in the UFC? Just saw that Rory Macdonald has a fight coming up there.. I remember something about him potentially signing.

Stephens only 30, seems like he's been around forever.

Somewhat, although they have made some good pickups lately with Larkin and McDonald who definitely aren't past their prime.

They have VERY little draws and every division outside of 170 is lacking in talent, so they need Chael, Wanderlei, Rampage, Fedor, etc.

They have like 50-60 people on their roster, and maybe 10-15 guys who can deliver exciting fights. They signed a lot of younger guys like Pico, Gallagher, Ed Ruth and Tyrell Fortune and they're hoping those guys can develop like Cormier, Rockhold and Melendez did when they started fighting in Strikeforce.

Smart gameplan by Moicano against Stephens. Busted him up with the jab.

Thats how everyones gonna start fighting him

Great defense from Whitaker in that sequence, let's see if he can keep it up.

Impressive first round from Whitaker

Jacare getting pieced up. I was afraid of this when he took this fight. Whittaker is no joke. Fast hands and excellent TDD
