I think, therefore I am Oddsbot. 

All guesses but why not

The stream comes on and the fights have already started! Not even sure which bout this is yet...

" American style Lay and pray funny

lol yeah I heard that too, beastmaster.  I don't know what the deal is with this fight.  Might be an amateur fight before the pro fights. I don't know who these fighters are... never saw a word about them on the Cage Warriors website.

Yeah your right gregory they were amateur fights.

Alright this must be the start of the fights that we listed for predictions. 

The stream is working great for me.  And supposedly it worked really well for Cage Warriors 40.   BAMMA should pay attention, since their stream completely failed last time and they were charging money for it.

Forgie's opponents is a little tenative

Yeah I think I've got it for Forgie with the better counter-punching, the quick takedown. But it was pretty close. Looks like Cihan Kocer has KO power if he can connect.

almost got that triangle

Nice rear naked choke

By Forgie

Good conditioning, good gameplan.  Cardio, folks!

Im here and ready to watch cage warriors.

Commentary team is good for Cage Warriors.

The second bout of Cage Warriors 41 had Dean Reilly taking on Josh Ramage in a featherweight contest.

The two tall featherweights closed in and began firing low kicks early. Ramage moved forward a minute into the fight with a nice combination that sent Reilly falling onto his back. Reilly stood and pressed Ramage up against the fence. Reilly lifted Ramage up and placed him onto the mat after a prolonged clinch battle. Ramage got himself into an unusual position as he worked for an omoplata off of his back, keeping an active guard as Reilly landed a few good punches in the final seconds, likely sealing the round in his favor. A small cut was opened on Ramage's forehead.

Reilly came out and backed Ramage down with a front kick. Reilly brought the find down and picked up where he left off in round one with ground and pound. Ramage attempted to work for submissions off of his back but Reilly seemed unfazed and continued to attack. An illegal upkick from Ramage connected on Reilly and the referee paused the match and deducted a point. Ramage came forward with a nice combination at the end of the round, landing a few strikes as Reilly attempted to bob and weave.

Ramage pushed Reilly against the fence to begin the third and final round. Reilly slipped a punch and changed levels nicely for a takedown, landing himself into half-guard. Reilly nearly passed to mount but as soon as he slipped one leg through Ramage's legs he was pulled back into guard. Reilly stood up and dove back into guard with a nice right hand. Ramage maintained a high activity level off of his back yet simply couldn't put Reilly into any position of danger. Reilly finished the round in top position having handily controlled the round and the majority of the fight.

The judges scored the bout unanimously in favor of the winner, Dean Reilly.

This guy Artem Lobov has got a crazy style. If he can keep this fight standing it's all his. At the same time it looks like Hill could finish in an instant on the ground.

I agree Grgegory. Lobov shouldnt risk getting subbed.
