Welp good to know Sabatini is a Charisma vacuum... (can't really disagree that that post fight interview fell completely flat)


great fighter though

Well Molina cashed for me and my next bet up is Allen. Going 1 and 4 is rough, but at least I was wise enough not to bet them. Another reason why I posted my bets before the card so when I go 3-10 and claim to be positive I can have proof lol.

I would like to see the UFC experiment with open scoring in the future. These judges are incompetent more often than not.

There were five judges in the ACA two days ago. Althought I'm not saying it would help in any way, it would certainly eliminate a few ******** decisions.

As far as I know judges sit in different positions and get different angles. Really they should be watching on a screen

@Spud you have no idea how right you are. Judges should be in a seperate room watching with 0 audio with three screens from more or less fixed perspectives: one birds eye, one rotating at chest level, and one low for grappling.
