I’ve broke even for the night on a handful of bets. I truly think UFC may be the toughest sport to bet.

After the second round, I thought Robbie would cruse to.victory. MacDonald was AMAZINGLY resilient. That was a truly great fight.

To hell with Sinead O’Connor. What the hell is she doing at UFC?

I’m going with Mendes, just because Sinead was singing for Connor.

McGregor hung in there. He has amazing punching power. Chad obviously was ore worn down than he appeared. Well, at least McGregor knows he was in a fight tonight.

McGregor was able to withstand Mende’s GnP and pull out a big win.

Indeed. It would be interesting to see what Chad could do with a couple months of prep.

Anyway, a great night of fights. McGregor is a mouthy jerk, but he’s a mensch!

I would have given Conor the first, narrowly, those body shots hurt Chad. Mendes was dominating the 2nd, but then... he wishes the round ended 7 seconds earlier.

What a fight! Looks like the entire clan McGregor was there.

I think he’ll beat Aldo, but then, Frankie Edgar time?

And there’s another card on Wednesday.

I’m taking Wonderboy Thompson in this main event.

I haven’t watched this season of TUF but I pick Usman to win cause his nickname is “The Nigerian Nightmare”.
