I'm not doing so well this season in the UFC comp, but just like UFC 192, I'm EXTREMELY confident in my picks.







Therefore, the black beauty shall be achieved.  Mark my words.










Or in reality I'm going to 6-5 with 1 perfect and 1 decision.








One of these is going to happen.  If I could somehow wager something on these scenarios in the wagering league I could. Other than that, I present to you...

Bang was a -200 favorite. Now Kuntz is a -430 favorite. All in the span of like 24 hours. Hmm

He's not a favorite on all sites, it is a strange turn of odds though..

Wonder if Bang hurt himself on the Kuntz

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/11/27/9809174/ufc-seoul-fighter-kuntz-vs-bang-slight-underdog-4-to-1-betting-favorite-mma-news

We're just hours away from UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Masvidal in Seoul, South Korea, and there's been an interesting gambling development involving one of the preliminary card matchups. Tae Hyun Bang opened as a favorite (no more than -210 across various betting syndicates) against Leo Kuntz, and was still listed as the favorite as recently as yesterday, but that is no longer the case. Within the past few hours, lines have shifted substantially in Kuntz's favor. Using the Best Fight Odds timeline tool, check out how Kuntz has gone from a slight underdog to as high as -475 (with Bang at +385) as of just before 10 PM ET on Friday night.












As you can see by the timeline, the dramatic change in the betting lines for Bang vs. Kuntz happened largely within a 1-2 hour timespan between 8-10 PM ET. The mean betting odds had changed 61%, 90% for Kuntz (obviously in opposite directions). One can only be left to speculate what insider information led to a rush of money coming in for Kuntz, but an injury to Bang seems to be the prevailing suspicion. Nothing has been disclosed as of this writing, so it's a wait-and-see game until the prelims begin at 5 AM ET.

If a fighter was going to throw a fight, he wouldn't be this sloppy about it right?

This card's terrible. I'm going to force myself to watch it just because I'm awake. You can bet I'll be talking **** about it the entire time though. Super badass. Big time stuff.

10-9 Steele, close round but I give him the edge for dropping DHK early.
