UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Vera

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

I think my favorite dog of the card is Connelly. Elkins potentially way past prime and absorbed way too much damage at this point. Getting wrestle ****** by Sabatini aged pretty well for Connelley, Sabs been murking people. Having ...some moments against him. And then beating Pereira at WW, I know the whole dancing ******** tired Pereira out, but you still can't totally discredit that win because of that Plus listening to interviews, Elkins starting to kinda sound checked out while Connelly seems like he is fully aware of his opponent and how he has to fight to beat him. 

Yep feels like a coinflip to me, maybe Elkins at 55%. I got Connelly at +155.

Trying to bet on Font here but he's not making it easy. He didn't do anything in the staredown. Just looked like a guy waiting in line at a bar. Hands in his pockets, shrugged shoulders, just kinda looking around at nothing. Looked like a dude about to pass out just telling himself over and over "dont pass out, dont pass out".

I actually heavily favor Connelly, he has a spectacular gas tank. I'd favor his cardio over Elkins, and he has awesome grappling chops. Anyone with grappling credentials gives it to Elkins anymore, Minner dunked on Elkin in that first round, and well Minner did what he does and gassed in the second. But look at Sabatini vs Connelly, Sabitini dominated Connelly for two rounds from the top, but dropped the third because he just couldn't keep up with Connelly's pace.

So even getting pushed hard from the worst spots for 10 minutes, Connelly had the tank to takedown Sabatini and win the third. That eliminates Elkin's biggest threat right off the bat. Now Connelly is a huge sub threat as well. He has good sweeps and bottom game, I just don't see Elkins having enough fight winning momentum to take 2/3 rounds.

Since bovada is limiting to only 6 legs with a prop included, my progressive parlay is...

Fili + Levy anchor, add Mazany, add Tiara by Sub/Dec, add Green/Lainesse Dngtd, add Connelly. 

I've got Fili, Dawson, Arlovski-Collier goes the distance, and the Grizzlies tonight.

I might tail that PRP, it looks good to me and I agree with all of it!

Lets make sure we hedge with Brito +1000 by KO/SUB and I think we're good.

Yup, I think fili leg is latest in night, so even though I'll be damned if brito wins, I'll hedge with him if I have a good profit already riding in fili

Font vs. Vera
Marlon Vera, SUB, R5
The shiny cherry on top of a giant steaming pile of TRASH!!!! Definitely a boxing on the big screen, MMA on the tablet night! Anyway, let's FOOKIN go Chito!!!!

Collier vs. Arlovski
Jake Collier, DEC
The win streak MUST end!!!!

Gordon vs. Dawson
Jared Gordon, DEC
Why does he look like a Thumb????

da Silva vs. Figueiredo
Daniel da Silva, SUB, R1
Lol! Do half of you think this is Deivison??? Big Figgy ****** sucks!!!!

Breeden vs. Levy
Mike Breeden, DEC
Karate, lol!

Mazany vs. Young
Shanna Young, DEC
What does my Ozzy mate think about this 1, what a steaming pile of ****e!!! Definitely think that people have WAY TOO MUCH faith in Gina Mazany, who is coming off a TKO loss to Catch a Beating!!!! Like how does that make you a 2 to 1 favourite??? Wowzers! .

Taira vs. Candelario
Tatsuro Taira, SUB, R2
Apparently Taira is Japans next big thing? Seen him choking a lot of fools out over in Pancrase. I'm picking him but I'm not going to be surprised if he gets 30-27d

Is Gina Mazany a -200 favourite, If she is, I'm chucking a 5-ver on Shana Young or Shana Young by decsion just on princaple, Both girl are  equally ****, It 50-50, I don't care what anyone else say

@ Mikey1903 already ahead of you mate. You must have missed it:

Gina Mazany   vs.   Shanna Young

Abysmal matching. Canvas-dredgings-sc****d-off-the-floor-of-the-INVICTA-ring-on-a-slow-week-post-a-Kish-with-an-IBS-flareup-tier-bout of abject awfulness between two very unlovely women whose careers are surely a destined for expedited extinction as Mcspaghetti and whose records are worse than anything George Michael ever put out at Christmas and more likely to result in airwave-vectored AIDS spreadery and the literal kind both.

Anyone care to explain to me how Young only appears to have a set of adult teeth when she puts in a mouthpiece--and the rest of the time somehow breaks all conventional understanding of the ageing process by looking eighty-seven years old in her thirties? Or how in the name of everloving **** Mazany has an onlyfans gig? I can't even begin to fathom how there's a market for that. Maybe it's some kind of FBI entrapment sting. Anyone who subscribes gets sent an invite to an IRL face-to-face, but when they turn up at the doorstep they are handcuffed and tossed into the back of a  unmarked van without license plates, which is then driven with its sordid cargo by a black-ops agent to an active volcano and then into it with the driver swapped out for a brick on the accelerator. I hope so, anyway.

As fights go this one is surprising in the depth of its profanity. It's a bit like that story Fisty told about hooking up with that wasted girl at the sailor moon themed bug party, who he thought was Asian but turned out to merely have Down's Syndrome. You're not really surprised it happened, but you are taken aback that he ****** her purely on the back of that discovery.

This isn't UFC material. I don't know who wins. Not the brand, that's for sure--because Mazany vs Young is about as good for PR as it would be for Mars Inc. if somebody found a molar in a snickers bar and it went viral. I'll take Young--mostly because she looks more like Joe Swanson in his wheelchair from family guy than any other human being I have ever seen, and may possibly have strong arms.

Young Dec.

Wmma Gunna wmma but it's really a great matchup for mazany. A girl with pretty poor wrestling and grappling defense, who doesn't have the power of the other girls who finish her late. As long as mazany is careful with her cardio output she should win without much worry imo. 

Haha, Joe Swanson. 

You can afford it Baldric. Do it and report back to us

You can do 1-6 and 12 leg parlays with prop bets on Bovada.

is a much different situation than when Arce missed by half a pound and made light work of Daniel Willycat Santos.  That was an easy call to make if you didn't overreact.  This is a bad spot for Font.  I seriously think he is in a bit of trouble here.  Especially being 4 months removed from his left orbital bone being fractured.

It's not letting me do any parlay with a prop included, in this case dngtd, past 6 legs. But if I only do MLs it'll let me do past it. 

Font vs. Vera
Marlon Vera, DEC
This one is tough; I love the way both these guys fight. Font's got great boxing so does Chito and his Jits is legit. I'm learning more towards Vera though

Collier vs. Arlovski
Andrei Arlovski, DEC
Gotta go for the OG!!! Arlovski in 3.

Fili vs. Brito
Joanderson Brito, TKO, R3
I like Fili, but he's always hot and cold. Going with Brito because Fili is hot and cold.

Gordon vs. Dawson
Jared Gordon, DEC
Dawson looks like Guile from Street Fighter. Gordon is an Astoria bad boy. Gotta with NY on this one.

Elkins vs. Connelly
Darren Elkins, SUB, R2
Can you out damage the damage? No, I don't think so.
