You know it's bad when the UFC can openly give 1 fighter consistently easy matchups and other fighters they don't like unfavorable matchups right in the open and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Kinda like rubbing it in everyone's face to say you better be on our good side and we will take care of you. If not your here's a dark horse killer that will best you on the undercard and now you have been released from your contract. Fighters unionizing is the only way to get transparency and fairness.

I feel for Souless Kris getting thrown into the spotlight of a Mcgreggor fight and given this huge odds difference. Might throw some bread on the no-namer since this is the UFC and nothing is guaranteed. Also, lost allot of respect for the sugar show on this.

YDM TWJAKE! I miss that era esp intros, before they turned into bad sob story docs.
I gotta do some research but the guppy for sean would be quite an embarrassing loss.
The reason I bring this up is the same reason conmac lost to Diaz if you are not as good as you think you WILL **** up.
Sean is not even close "Best striker in UFC" Sean clown boy omalley.

@Xconchris -  fighters unionizing is never going to happen...  you know why ??  because managers & fighters will have to put all their cards on the table.    Different managers dont want to reveal how they approach negotiations with the UFC to other management staff.  
Fighters dont want to reveal how much they are really making because the disclosed amounts are not what fighters are really making -- its the UNDISCLOSED LOCKER BONUSES and SUCH that top fighters make so much money...
But nobody wants to talk about that....

there are some weird odds being displayed on this Conor McGregor Card....

I guess some people is about to either loss or win a lot of money...

@Firefist. That is incorrect. They could absolutely unionize 1 day, whether you consider a association or some form of collective bargaining a union. It just takes the right circumstances, culture change and individuals. Amazon could form a union, UFC could and any major organization could.

@Xconchris - Its okay to disagree.... I wonder if you or me will still be around that day to see a union formed.

LOL !!

and that last quote "Narrow minds  NEVER achieve anything"  - I totally disagree because its not true throughout human history.  


But I am done with this convo- back to things that matter... like Sean O'Malley  hahaha

I'm kinda shocked, Niko is the underdog. Niko Price is good as I had him up 2-0 on Vicente Luque before an unlucky docter stopage. I think people are down on Niko because he went to a draw with Cowboy Cerrone, Don't act like Diego Sanchez techincally beat Micheal Perria, I know it was a DQ, But Price- Cerrone was a draw because of a point deduction. I think people are overhyping Micele, Dude beat Zelim, Who got his ass kick by everyone in the UFC, And Khaos in a fight witch was close, And Niko is better then Khaos

stuthehistoryguy, you think the O'Malley fight is a "bit of a mismatch." That is the understatement of the century.


By the way, MMA isn't the most unpredictable sport. One of the MMA sites studied the results of UFC fights over a 5 year period. The favorite won 67% of the time. In other words, if you just bet on favorites, you can make a lot of money. Fighters who are -600 or more rarely lose. O'Malley is -800 or -900 on many sportsbooks. If he loses, it will literally be one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.


Baseball will always be the most unpredictable sport. Umpires all use totally different strike zones. Instant replay review hasn't helped that much because the replay officials are as incompetent as the umpires. To prove my point about baseball's unpredictability, the Orioles swept the Astros in Houston this week. There is literally not a person on the planet who predicted that.

Here’s some anti-MMAth. I think Khaos beats Niko, but Niko easily beats Perreira.
