Damn good betting night, although it’s expected cause several of these fights were free money, but I got some underdogs too

I was however very wrong about it being an entertaining fight though. Mostly a snooze fest.

Izzy didn’t win a round after the first, maybe the third. Sad!

I had it for Rob but can't be mad at the dec. I'm e big believer in the idea that you have to convincingly beat the champ to take the belt.

A competitive decision was probably the best outcome for Rob. Keeps his spot in the rankings and likely assures him a rematch at some point. And now he has a lot of data to work with.

I picked Whittaker to win but that was clearly 3-2 at least for Izzy. Well played.


11/14 picks correct this time for 78% pick rate. Good to get back over 70% after the last UFC and Bellator cards were in the 60%s.

Also, Fabio Cherant is legitimately one of the worst fighters I’ve seen in the UFC roster in a long time. My expectations for him in his fight were low but holy ******* **** dude

Whittaker did great. It was a really close fight. The right guy won though.

Yeah, you can’t expect to beat a big name champion when there’s 4 razor close rounds.

I had 12/14 with 8 perfects? Damn I thought this week was going to be **** since I had less time for it than usual. 

Too bad I can't look it over yet since I have some fights I missed to rewind and watch.

49:46 for Whittaker (imho)

Robbery.

For me it was: 49:46 (every round won by Whittaker except the first)

One can argue that the third round was Adesanya, but then still Whittaker should have won 48:47

Tbh Izzy didn't do a whole lot in the later rounds but everyone knows to take the belt from a champion you have to go and snatch that ****. Rob did not

Gutted for Bobby Knuckles, I thought he won that fight.
