    If I had money in my PP account I'd put it on Gunnar by sub.

    In terms of the event and the fans it makes sense. In terms of competition and the sport it is ridiculous, what is the significance?

    It helps the main event stand out from the rest of the card and gives it a sense of importance. It lets the rest of the card build up to "the big one" so to speak. And as you said, it's great for the fans.

    Gunni looks done. He did great to stay in the fight but Story's controlling it and I have him 3-1.

    Gunnar getting his nut done in here. Sbg coming up short with this and the pendred mess. Some justice for Dave Jones.

    Controversial opinion: Gunnars striking isin't just 'unorthodox' its sloppy.

    Kavanagh saying that Story "knows he's losing the decision". Ummm...

    JK must be watching a different fight to me. He's just told gunni to do the same thing he's been doing because story is losing the decision.

    Terrible corner work

    Yeah exactly, in terms of the event it makes sense. But in terms of competing in the sport it makes no sense, what's the significance of 2 top 20 WW's fighting 2 extra rounds? Zero.

    I'd say the odds on a lot of fights go like that, might be something I'll keep an eye on in the future.

    Why does it need to have significance? It's a spectator sport and it gives the people what they want.
    Not everything has to make perfect sense. Just sit back and enjoy it.

    Gunni's first loss I fear. Just couldn't keep Story on the ground and Gunni's sloppy striking exposed the longer the fight went on.

    Story has that fight for me. Stuck to Nelson like glue. Great pressure fighter.

    Amazed that Kavanagh and co didn't think Nelson was losing the fight.

    Gunnar beats Story 50-45 via being McGregor's mate.

    something similiar happened last week
    after round two, howard v ebersole, ebersole was 7/2
    it was a round each imo and a very even fight
    i couldnt even get a tenner on with ladbrokes for that one and they
    were the only ones doing it live as far as i could see, 4 euro max is all they offered

    be great if more did live betting for these
