Non-MMA Sports Betting Discussion - January, 2019

If you told me a few years ago that my best sportsbetting results this summer would be World Cup soccer (footbaaaaaallll?!) and baseball would be breakeven/down a few units I would have laughed at you. But here we are.


Round robin parlay:

Belgium - YES (whew!)

Which UFC fighters make more/have made more than 1 million a year?

I was in another thread and someone suggested only low level UFC fighters would sign with PFL but I pointed out that Jacare who is likely one of the highest payed MWs in the UFC can't brake 1 million a year unless he fights like 4+ times and wins every time and/or fights 3 times and gets multiple bonuses.

So how many fighters in the UFC have made 1 million in a year or less? I will update my list and remove question marks as I look more into it/get more info from you all. : )

The two fighters contesting for the interim belt ..

..have something in common. They've both been dominated by McGregor. On the other hand the two rightful champions of the division are sidelined. Both fighters extremely problematic for McGregor. Now I'm beginning to understand why this fight was made. They're trying to milk the cow as much as possible

Watching Cain, one of my favorite fighters, get destroyed in under a minute of the first round, made me question why I keep getting invested in these fights. Connor getting manhandled by Khabib. Chael getting outclassed again and again. Overeem knocked out senseless for God knows how many times. So many hopes - build up by a very transparent hype machine - violently squashed.

The brutal essence of MMA makes it difficult being a fan of certain fighters every now and then. On the other hand,...

These B- athletes like Lewis and NGannou learn MMA in a couple years with basic striking and beat the best heavies MMA has to offer. At heavyweight I can pick and choose athletes that would be the best heavy ever. Anthony Joshua would probably embarrass 99% mma heavies ever.

What would be your two picks in creating your ultimate monster?

With this weekend in mind, I want Francis Ngannou fused with Cain Velasquez.
Imagine a cardio machine that could wrestle with that insane first round knockout power.

What’s the new Sherdog content section?

Is that for Sherdog writers and mods and admin to only be able to post content in where other Sherdog users can’t, but we can see and comment on?

There’s nothing there yet, but it’s piqued my interest.

Fighters need to learn to embrace the power of the Qi. I recommend watching the whole video but I time stamped a part of the video where with 2 years of training one's skull can become 4 times harder. Overeem would be unstoppable with this sort of training.

Maybe Chael was worse but this guy has lost 13 times, his last loss was exactly a year ago where he was TKO'd

What is Jones still doing in the LHW division?

Everyone has their own opinion but I value things like fighting through adversity instead of a quick KO (shout out to Conor's demolition of Aldo). Upsets are cool and all but I don't wanna include Serra/GSP etc...
I think Edgar/Maynard 2 is most impressive. After Frankie survived a freakish beat down in round 1... which I think would have been stopped if the fight happened today. Even though it was a "draw" Frankie still retained his belt so I'm counting it. My thread, my rules. If I...

The loud mouthed Irishman would inspire so many more people into our sport than Khabib.

Conor has broken ppv records in boxing and MMA. He’ll bring over fans that will become fans of the other fighters.

Every fighter who fights on Conor’s card will be blessed with recognition. His popularity will give a chance to starving up and coming MMA fighters with no future.
Will we ever see a doctor/mma fighter in the UFC?

In many other professional sports we’ve seen legitimate doctors compete. Examples below.

We’re talking A level athletes here. One starring at Florida State football and another winning a handful of Stanley cups.

Brings me to my question, will we ever see a doctor fight for the belt in the UFC?

Indirect question, which current fighters...

Wed, 06 Feb 2019 11:45:00 +0000
I think Khabib is pretty much the only guy in the UFC principled enough to turn down a huge payday against one of the easiest guys in the division to fight a much better opponent for a fraction of the pay. If he follows through with this, he's a hero.

Khabib: "Conor do nothing. I dominate him everwhere. It's bad for the sport and division for me to rematch Conor. He needs to win 2-3 more fights. Ferguson deserves next fight".

Revisiting what Dana used to say about Askren, this one is pretty funny too.

“The thing is with Ben Askren is that Ben Askren doesn’t really want to fight here, in my opinion. People that are close to him say the same thing. The guy is making a ton of money to fight nobodies, but when you talk and you say a lot of things it keeps your name out there. Trust me when I tell you this, Ben Askren does not want to fight in the UFC. Believe me when I...

Hey everyone,
I’ve been following mma since 2010 when I was 15 and I have relied quite a lot on fighters persona quite a lot to build up mine.
Machida definitely was a great mentor.


I think the benefit of being a fan is being able to get lessons, adrenalin and inspiration

Dana White: I'll Fight Oscar De La Hoya - But Under MMA Rules
If they mix it up, White wants the contest to take place under the rules of mixed martial arts. He won't even consider facing De La Hoya, a six division world champion, in a boxing match.

“Listen Oscar called me out. He’s an idiot. When you’re a moron like he is, you have to fight. Yeah I’ll fight Oscar De La Hoya. Not boxing though. Not boxing. Normally when these types of challenges go out, I say...
