Thought Matthew Semelsberger experience would help get the job done however Uros is now 3-1 in the UFC with 3 stoppages and only lost being Jalin Turner not bad of a UFC career so far.

It's Betfair and you get a bit higher odds there than a regular bookies since it's a player's exchange. Meaning you play against other player(s) and there's always someone willing to push the odds a little bit further.

Uros probably would have won anyway not angry good pick boys glad to see a real underdog win.

I mean Conor has told fighters before when they annoyed him on twitter that they've lost any chance of fighting him because of it.
I don't think he was really too anxious about fighting Chandler, I think he mostly thought it might be fun to get some TV-time on TUF. Unfortunately for him he chose the bum rookies to be on his team.

Cordial? Chandler has been trolling Conor for the past few weeks. I wouldn't say he has been cordial at all

Semelsberger got f***ed by the altitude. He was gassed by the second round. Those +250 live odds on Medic prior to the stoppage in the third were a gift, and one I indulged in.

UFC is becoming the McDonalds of the MMA world. The getting uncomfortable chairs to make people leave the restaurants faster method of bussiness.
Just whatever cuts costs or maximizes profits, never mind the quality.
