Cause that'd be wild. I barely profit long term and only have placed high like 3 times so far.

but who would that benifet? nate on last fight and tony old, 4 Ls, and ****ting on ufc.

khamzat is undefeated monster, and leech is ko artist from china

beating 2 well known fighters would only boost chimaev and leech popularity 

great matchmaking if anything

Dana only really does the whole "respect" matchmaking when he knows that they wouldn't be competitive with anyone else and he basically saying retire or you are going to be released. I think he still thinks Tony and Nate can still at least win a round against these dudes and seemed not opposed to giving them one more contract.

I actually agree with that, but I think there is a mutual respect with Dana and those two despite them both getting on his nerves. I think if they want to stay in the fight business and don't start their own promotion or have the personality to be a broadcaster or ESPN analyst, Dana really should create some sort of position for former fighters to help promote the sport. I guess give them positions that are similar to what Forrest Griffin is doing, but actually pay them to be mentors for younger UFC fighters and create their own gym at the UFC PI to give fighters options to either continue fighting in other promotions and risk their health once they gotten beat up too much or become a coach at the "official" UFC fight camp (if they do not pursue other jobs or hobbies of course).

Has the UFC disregarded the entire idea of fighters making a weight class?

IT IS SO SAD TO SEE ONCE GREAT FIGHTERS NOT KNOW WHEN TO QUIT & RUN THEIR LEGACY INTO THE ****TER!

I CAN'T FIGURE IF THEY NEED THE $$$ OR IF THEIR EGO IS LIVING IN PAST GLORY, REFUSING TO HANG IT UP!

WE WILL ALWAYS SEE THEM ON BELLATOR OR BKF, WHO HAVE NO PROBLEM SQUEEZING EVERY DIME THEY CAN OFF OF PAST CHAMPS!

Can't get excited for this card unfortunately. Have zero bets on it too although admitedly it's been a chore to work on it this week.

Li vs. Ferguson
Jingliang Li, TKO, R2
Tony`s chin took a very bad hit just a few months ago from Chandler. Factoring his age and very short recovery, stepping up a weight class wont help. Leech`s right hand is made of cast iron and will find mark latest on R2.

Holland vs. Rodriguez
Kevin Holland, DEC
D-Rod very good but has a long time from last fight. Holland also has a big reach advantage and he knows how to use it as well.

Walker vs. Cutelaba
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
Pressure makes Walker back off to cage because he is afraid of getting knocked out. Cutelaba`s overhand will do just that.

Collier vs. Barnett
Chris Barnett, TKO, R1
Collier`s run is not much more stellar than Beastboy`s. I have a feeling that unpredictable unorthodox Barnett will give Collier a lot of trouble.

What are you talking about. Best card to bet on in months.

Already laid down the hammer on Reed, Aldana, Rodriguez, Tiuilinian, Weeks and Walker. 

Guaranteed profit this week.

I'm sure there are bets out there to be found there usually are. I'm just struggling with motivation this week. Nothing new it will pass but when I'm not 100% focused I take a cautious approach on betting. It's hard enough as it is at the best of times.

Best of luck to you.
