    Really? I absolutely love watching Glory. Hope it's picked up soon. Wonder if UFC Fight Pass would stream it.

    Kurt angle coming out with announcement for a bellator event

    what sort of announcement? surely too old to fight as a beginner especially with his injury list? Remember reading somewhere he was originally in the cast for TUF 10 untill he was injured!

    I see Tom Duquesnoy is dropping down to bantamweight and facing Damien Rooney at BAMMA 24. The right move for him. I can't imagine it'll be much longer before the UFC come calling. I'm surprised he didn't go after his last fight to be honest.

    In other news, Kimbo Slice is fighting again on February 19th in Houston. He has refused to comment any further on the fixing rumours that plagued his fight with Ken Shamrock, saying he won't talk about it again until after his 2nd round submission win over his as of yet unnamed opponent in February.

    Too tired myself to sit up. Should be able to stream it though online?

    I've just noticed PP are offering odds on the wrong main event, they have Daniel Strauss down to fight the wrong brother. So they have Strauss as the favorite against PatricKY when he's fighting PatricIO Freire who he has lost twice to.

    Worth a punt or do you think theyd' cancel the bet?

    great spot

    can't imagine they'd void the bet though if you backed strauss and he didnt oblige but I am a little bit tempted :D

    back Strauss? Why back the favorite, might aswell take the 11/10 on patricky and hope his bro makes it 3-0 against Struass and if not contact them to advise them it should be voided lol

    dunno, think if you bet on either and they get beat you could argue it with them to void the bet. Might aswell take the underdog ;)



    I don't really follow bellator much. I presume with 2-0 already to Freire then he shouuld be the favorite to win?

    not sure what I was thinking :o

    would it work? doubt it myself

    I am wondering though why he is 6/5 when he has beaten him twice and like you I dont follow bellator much
    still, it looks like value and thats something I never turn down so a single
    on pat it is with bet365 :)

    Have bet365 got it wrong too? :D


    I'm presuming they have just completely ****ed up and maybe don't realise there are 2 brothers with v.similar names. They've matched Strauss against Patricky(obviously in error) and maybe offering what they see as true odds for that fight rather than Patricio. From what I can gather patricky usually fights at LW and this is supposedly a FW title fight :D

    I think they would have to void it, they've offered an incorrect market. It would be a bit like them mixing up Man City & Man Utd although Im sure somebody would catch on and blab to them pretty quick if they got that wrong lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭Devastator


    I just read this so might be contacting PP in the morning for a void :) Screenshoting the bet incase they try to change it :D
    Pitbull Freire has been hanging onto his Bellator Featherweight title by a thread and his last few performances have been very poor. In his last fight he was was just seconds away from being TKO’d when he was badly rocked by Daniel Weichel at the end of the 2nd round. The bell to mark the end of the round saved him just seconds before the referee was about to stop the fight. Weichel then came out far too aggressive in the 3rd round and got caught with a flash counter left hook KO punch when it was clear that Pitbull was still badly hurt. Pitbull also struggled in his fight prior to that against Daniel Straus. Pitbull was getting dominated in every single aspect of MMA until Straus blew his knee out in the 4th round. Pitbull was able to capitalize on Straus’ injury and lock in a submission, but it was clear that Straus was cruising to a unanimous decision win up until that point.

    It’s not very often that we see a challenger capped as a favourite over the Champion, but the odds on Daniel Straus reflect the reality that he’s a better fighter than Pitbull in almost every single aspect of MMA. Straus has made huge improvements since he started training at American Top Team and I expect him to put on another dominant performance against Pitbull at Bellator 145.

    ok, just watched some of their last fight
    strauss was well on top until a mistake in the 4th which lead to a sub

    bailing out ta fuk, backing strauss to get most of my stake back
    this will be one hell of a fight though

    there'll be better betting opportunities tomorrow hopefully

    no probs, good luck mate

    Its been a long time since I've seen a FU on MMA betting, suppose popularity means they keep lot better eye on it now. I remember couple of events they were still offering odds on UFC pre lims(win only) which had already finished :D It was a sad day when I woke up on the Sunday to see they'd clicked on and voided the bet overnight, still won some money from a few events first :)

    Bellator announcing Kimbo vs Dhafir "Dada 5000" Harris, who is another bare knuckle/street fighting legend who used to be Slice's body guard as well as Shamrock vs Royce Gracie for a February card in Houston.

    :eek: Side/freak show....they both must be in their 50s now? I remember Shamrock was fighting Kimbo not so long ago and seen something during the week about accusations it was all a setup? :D

    Basically shamrock took Kimbo back and locked in a RNC, but with the help of David Blaine he managed to escape somehow and KO, Shamrock. The KO was very real but the escape was not.

    PP didn't have odds for Brooks on.their site.

    :( they did earlier, I think they had 2am listed for most of the fights so Brooks must have been in there.....another example of how little PP researched bellator last night!

    Update on the Freire bet with PP.

    I noticed yesterday afternoon they had updated it to a loss. I contacted them and was told they would pass it onto their traders to check and heard nothing back. Sent another message earlier and was told same again. Went into my account doing some darts betting and noticed I had a balance and checked my account.

    So they didn't void the bet but basically cancelled it on my slip(put it in a small treble) as a goodwill gesture saying fight was setup incorrectly.

    So I've not lost out but I wonder how many other punters out there may have bet on Freire without knowing the full story and now they're bets are still bust because PP didn't void the market. It seems quite sly to me.....I'm taking the moral highground even though I noticed their FU and tried to take advantage :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭Devastator


    Couple of good fights there Califano. The 1st one(Logan/Butler) the ref was still looking round after it finished as if he didn't know it was over :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Daley v Cashcheck 2 signed for 2016, no date given but probably the Kimbo fake card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Watching BAMMA 23 at the moment. They've got the whole arena flashing only red, blue and white lights. Pretty classy.

    Also just gave a standing ovation to French fighter Damien Lapilus after his win against Jack McGann. Bit cheesy in the way it happened but a nice gesture nonetheless.

    Bellator/Coker really are making fools of themselves yet again. Its very hard to take anything from the promotion seriously after announcements of Gracie/Shamrock, Kimbo/anyone and possibly Tyson Fury in the future

    IMO its way past long term already. Gimmicky fights just make a mockery of the sport. I feel for the actual up & coming fighters on their books. There talk of them trying to get Bendo because he's not under contract, that would be a very foolish move for him.

    Bendo is no spring chicken, he has a ton of fights behind him and he probably doesn't have a whole lot of time left in him as a pro. If he can make more money at Bellator or any other promotion because of the reebok deal limiting his earning potential then he, and anyone else, would be an idiot to stay at the UFC.

    Cyborg won't be making the cut down to 140 for her upcoming fight, it'll be at 145 because of the IV ban.

    He's fighting Ken Shamrock, not Kimbo.

    He won't be wearing the Gi, it's open weight and it will basically be a wrestler and a BJJ player having a grappling match with some striking in it.

    Ah yeah its dada5000 kimbos fighting,the kimbo and shamrock fight was an absolute joke the rear naked choke was like something out wwe how ken couldnt finish it,I know its not going happen but I read somewhere its legal to wear the gi for the fight according to the states rules.

    Jaysus if you're that desperate to see a couple of pensioners fight just go into any nursing home and throw an open bag of wethers originals onto the ground. There will be no tapping out there.

    He's plenty of time left for him to get a good pay cheque in another organisation on his past. I think he'll stay with the UFC and he let it run down to try and negotiate a better deal

    Its not because of the IV, its because RR got beat and will now rematch Holm. Invicta announced she'll defend 145 title instead of fighting at 140 because there is no longer a rush for her to get used to the further weight cut because a fight with RR isn't close.
