Here we go. Hendo walking out now, I hope its a good fight.

Damn I felt that kick in my living room.

That stoppage was a little early though IMO given that it is hendo... and a main event.

Lots of caution early in the fight. The first strike Vitor threw landed perfectly, and that was it

Mirko Cro Cop hurt his shoulder, is out of Fight Night Seoul, and has decided to retire from MMA.

He'll be back.

Maybe.

But nothing will spoil the hype for Mcgregor vs Aldo!!!!

Sorry, but it never gets old

I think this is the 4th time he "retired". This one may be real because he's now 41

So many hearts broken and souls crushed that night.

interesting bit of info: Cowboy Cerrone has a permanent exemption to the IV ban.

The reason was because of a horrific ATV accident he suffered as a teenager, where they had to remove a portion of his stomach and a lot of small intestine. Because of this, he is unable to orally rehydrate efficiently after weigh-in.

Yep, cro cop was a ****ing beast in his hey day

Here's something I didn't expect to see. The heaviest favorite this weekend (via Bovada) is Joanna Jedrzejczyk at -2250, Ronda is at -2000. (you can get roughly -1000 if you parlay both fights, which doesn't seem like a bad deal)

I'm surprised that a bet on Ronda pays more, maybe the gamblers think she might box to prove she's a complete fighter.

I understand why Joanna is an overwhelming favorite though, Valerie is a mediocre kickboxer who plans to stand and trade with Joanna. That sounds like a terrible plan, and I foresee a whole lot of blood in that fight. Casual fans and women who are only tuning in for Ronda have no idea what they are in for in the co-main.

Joanna is a bad mofo. She has the best hands in the business man or woman

I think we now know the real reason Mirko Cro Cop retired. He has been suspended by USADA for a potential failed test.

uhhh.... wow. OK, here's a gambling tip. I was looking through the odds to see if anything in this weekend's fights looked interesting, but **** UFC 193.

Jose Aldo is the underdog in UFC 194. You can get +150 by betting on him on bovada. Is it possible that he could lose? Sure, but this is God Damn ridiculous, people have drunk the Conor McGregor Kool-Aid in a big way, and I can't imagine the odds moving further away from Aldo. I think once the smart money shifts away from November, looks at December, and sees this idiotic line, they'll be all over it and bet Aldo hard.

Again, this isn't a lock or anything, but this is a very severe pricing anomaly driven by really stupid Irish homer money. If you have a gambling stake you can afford to lose, you are getting an incredible deal on Jose Aldo right now.

edit: just put my money in. If Conor wins fine, then I guess I lose, but I bet $200 to.... lol.... win $300 if Jose freaking Aldo wins.
