I was about to call him stupid for betting on Heavyweights but then I googled him and saw how much he'd won.

Yeah but gambling is pretty stupid when you could make a lot more money in a safe 9-to-5 doing network engineering

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
Shut down the division where Shogun is ranked 5th.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Well, two guys have knocked him out, no one else has even wobbled him, even when they hit him clean. It's a pretty fuckin' good chin, and he's really good at countering off wearing a shot.

Yeah, feels like it's going to be more Wanderlei Vs Leben than Henderson Vs Shogun.

I hope it's like Wandy vs. Liddell where they obviously missed the peak time to do that fight but it still ended up being fun to watch.

Can someone tell me where he started out with the first game bet to end up at $14mil?

JaySB posted:

Yeah, damage or no from the Choi fight, that's a lot of revving up on the body for a short camp, jfc.
Maybe Stephens is in that less sparring phase of his career. I heard on a JRE that Stephens believes in long, low intensity runs for cardio. If his knees can take it, maybe it helps wear and tear.

Word on the street was that he won a good amount betting UFC then spun it up on the 6 game he bet.

So, 200k, 400k, 800k, 1.6mm, 3.2mm, 6.4mm roughly?

Emmett took the fight on short notice I think, which might explain missing weight a bit.

Speaking of which, what time are the early weigh-ins for UFC 220?

He keeps refusing to say that Conor is stripped, so it seems like they're waiting until Tony v. Khabib actually happens to make it official/waiting for Conor to sign something, just in case one of them dies attempting to climb the scales again.

my guess is they got conor to sign something saying that khabib in russia if khabib wins or i'll let you strip me because it's not worth it to me to fight tony in north america
