GDT: UFC 248: Adesanya vs. Romero

[ZDH]

First chick fight canceled

 

[16Skippy]

I've got Izzy and JJ by decision, although I'm rooting for Romero and Zhang.

 

[member 51464]

Even if Izzy does light up Romero and get the knockout win in convincing fashion, and even if you aren't a fan of the guy's personality, I feel like we all have to tip our cap to him going out of his way to take the toughest fight he could.

Either the MMA gods reward him trying to build his legacy, or they punish his hubris.

 

[CDJ]

Alright

I went Batgerel/Emmers parlay on the early prelim cuz why tf not

Deron Winn -135

then a 3 way prelim parlay of Vieira, Madsen, and suga

Klose +155

Oliveira -150

I know I said Jianliang earlier this week- I’ve since changed my mind to Magny due to the value at +145. I have a feeling Magny is going to out-cardio him

Joanna by decision +220

Adesanya by decision +145


Did well on the last one so this one will come back to bite me

 

[CDJ]

We got a 1st round KO to start the night

 

[CDJ]

Emmers looked good after round 1. Dude has a win over Sandhagen too. Very seasoned for a guy in his first UFC fight



wow these judges are gonna be like this tonight again. Wow.

announcers had it as Emmers, I had it as emmers, 2 judges are dumb.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Don’t agree with that decision.

 

[CDJ]

Don’t agree with that decision.

Getting 247 flashbacks already

 

[ZDH]

thankfully didnt bet much on Emmers

Bad call, but this dude giving a shout out to women was pretty funny.

that was LOL funny, I give him 100 respecting women points

the first interview was hilarious too, interpreter just flat out told joe rogan he wasn’t paying attention

I love when we get the, "it's gonna be a weird night" vibe early.

Well, outside of bad scoring. God damn judges.

 

[ZDH]

That was super close though I thought it should be Emmers SD and it was an SD. Not gonna get too worked up about that one.

definitely wasn’t a robbery but I strongly disagree with what two of the judges watched in the 2nd round


Invicta is starting to do open scoring. Imagine if Emmers knew he was down going into that 3rd round....would’ve been flames. There are of course potential drawbacks so I’m interested in seeing how it goes in Invicta

 

[CDJ]

Deron is a pocket DC

so small for this weight class

gerald has volume, Winn has power in round 1. Could go either way

 

[chicagoskycam]

Good fight,
Nice job Ref ...

 

[ZDH]

That went about how I thought it would go, didnt see it being quite so close but fun fight.

 

[CDJ]

winn’s got a tough road ahead of him, I think he’s going to need to work on his body. It’s not even that he’s fat or anything but he’s gotta figure out a way to get down to 170, even if it means taking a year to do so


Meerschaert was so much bigger than him

 

[m9]

Winn is going to have to decide if he's serious about MMA and move to 170lb. He can't hang at 185lb.

Meerschaert was so much bigger than him

I know he's thick, but I don't understand how he weighs so much at that size. Assuming he barely cuts any weight.

 

[Avs_19]

It was a wrap as soon as it hit the ground. Vieira is way too good.

 

[member 51464]

Viera's eye. Oh my God. That's disgusting.

 

[CDJ]

I know he's thick, but I don't understand how he weighs so much at that size. Assuming he barely cuts any weight.

has trouble making 185, so he def cuts



Vieira demonstrating that he’s gonna need to improve his striking, something we all knew. Can’t beat him on the ground tho

 

[CDJ]

SUPLEX CITY!!!!

 

[Deen]

Rogan loves a guys squeeze every fight.
