Prison Mike cooking in the kitchen
blessing Tartara with prophetic intuitions
one uppercut left Jake Paul twitching
brother flinched! get 'em in the clinch
Logan catching while oil Daddy pitching
and since they asked
Paul brothers are house nuances
boom roasted
Prison Mike sends well wishes
god will always listen
and everyday we pray
for our MMA picks to christen

I guess this is a hot take but I don't understand giving Cannonier more than one round. It seems to me like Strickland was consistently outstriking him and avoiding or shrugging off his power shots. Cannonier's leg kicks definitely hurt Strickland, but they never threw Strickland off of his game or opened him up for more damaging head shots. Meanwhile, Strickland's volume was starting to wear down Cannonier and consistently snapped his head back in the later rounds. I don't consider the decision a robbery, but I have a hard time understanding if damage is the supreme scoring criterion. Strickland's shots did more damage over the course of the fight, IMO.

I honestly was dozing in and out of the main event and texting and whatnot but what I saw I did think Strickland would be getting the nod. I took Cannonier. If I have time I’ll watch tomorrow. Here’s what the media thought:

Predictions: 6 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 400 Points   |   Tied for 3105th

Did I just see a sneaky sewer rat pop his head up so I can head kick it into the 10th row?

Who is this absolute lame joke of a creature calling himself "*********48"???

Stepping to me? To me???? With an amazing UFC pick rate of 55% you are talking about my bets, while me, Bananas and Andrew have been making bookies cry for the past year???

I am so stunned that such a creature exists that I am speechless. Vanish you worm!!! Dissapear like a turd flushed down the toilet. Don't speak to your betters until spoken to. And if spoken to respond only with "Yes Sir" " Of course Sir" "It will be my pleasure Sir".

What kind of filth do they let on Tapology nowadays? This homeless gutters scum straight from the social security office after losing another welfare cheque on 50% pick rate bets.

If it wasn't so tragic I would laugh... but will just put up my feet on my $50K couch, take a sip of my champagne and a mouthful of Caviar Gold and feel sorry for all the less fortunate scum like you on this earth

You could also go the opposite of this new worm creature that has just popped up on the forum.

It's called *********48. It has a 50% pick rate so just bet the opposite of it's picks

Haha @Rah. I could study picks, your or other high rated guys picks or bet against poor pickers picks but then They wouldn’t be mine and be less fun for me. Believe or not there was a time…..lol. In the day I did lots  of research, played fantasy all over payout leagues and fun and bet often. I been going well over a decade. Now I’m just here and junkie for ****s and giggles to make my favorite sport more interesting fight night. Sure my % has dropped but the fights are always a bit more fun with a small wager or  fantasy card. Cheers to all you hardcore keeping it going. Fun stuff!  Keep taking **** and whooping ass. Makes it more interesting for sure.

Yea. The fights were good. Paddy still worse Dec for me I think. I remember a few sketchy though. That’s been the way forever. Lots of people bailed on mma, fantasy and betting from it. Including the dude who recruited me from a fantasy team league elsewhere. It’s a shame they don’t have to answer for their calls. At least make them explain in interviews if not fine or investigate.

Good cards to watch but tricky to bet on, I'm not high roller by any means, I bet regularly every weekend small value 2-10 £ parlays only on ufc end up a year £342 up and taking under consideration I'm betting only to make experience more complex i think it'sa great score, all thanks to December's hail mary bet's. Overall great year for UFC fans but a bit too much hype pumping mediocre fighters and sold decision but i guess that's the way UFC is going these days.

Great main and comain Main was tough to judge.
Strick landed more but only 1 had much effect canon hurt him a lot.
Would have prefered a draw but rankings need a winner.
Arman is looking like a champ merry christmas chaps.

if Izzy can bank like 3 title defenses off of mostly doing damage with leg kicks, then I can see how Cannonier won. But I can definitely see the arguments for Strickland edging out a close decision too.
