@baremares Those are the prelims though, right? It says video unavailable in my country but pretty sure the main card has to be streamed or watched on cable CBS

You are talking about things you don't know about bro. There is no proof he did anything with Minner except let him fight with a busted knee. 

I am still salty about that btw, lost a lot of money because I had Minner by finish. But I don't ever believe that Krause set up or worked against any of his fighters. Don't believe everything you hear.

mezzor could probably be a millionaire if he bet against his natural insticts. It's quite a gift.

Hughes vs Karakaya, Hokit vs Ishiguro, Bates vs Lugo, and Gracie vs Schiro are all postlim fights and will be shown on YouTube after the main event here (at least in the US)



Idk why the bout order got ****** up and shifted, but I hope this clears things up for you guys

No man. Don't say that. It's important that he is broke and continues to come on here to make his picks.

That way we can become millionaires.

And we can FedEx him $100 after

This is basically the main event. With all due respect to Fedor, his fight doesn’t mean much (apart from the fact that he’s a legend and this is his final fight)

Lol. Big John saying how Eblen is the most unbelievable fighter he has ever seen.

It's definitely possible my promoter friend was mistaken, but he is an insider for the industry, so if the investigation against Krause digs this up, you heard it here first.

Another funny thing the promoter told me is that he really hates Sean O'Malley and called him a hypejob lol. He said that O'Malley used to be a cool guy, but the fame has really gotten to his head.

Lets see what it brings. I don't have any personal connection to Krause like I do with some other coaches. But I believe he is actually a decent guy who got a little greedy and careless with trying to pull a fast one over the bookies.

I hope that's not true because I like O Malley.

But some things he has been saying recently make me think your freind could be right
