you have to like the UFC through a facebook acct. i am worse than a 90-year old grandmom when it comes to knowing how to work through facebook, so that is the best i can do to give details. the card than moves to FX at 8 for 4 fights thereWhere you can watch these facebook prelims?
yeah, i am not sure how exactly i did it, but they are starting now. I know if you go the UFC fracebook page there is something there about watching fights live, and you see them through there. I have only watched on their facebook page a few times, and it is hit or miss hot they are to watch. though the last few times it has been good. this one seems real good for now, but i know it usually gets worse as more people join
Yeah, i like Walel too and hope to see him bounce back, but real glad Gagnon won that and made up for F'n Dan's robbery to Brennamen. and that was a great shot by Gagnon too, not easy to counter with a guy who's reach is that much larger than his own. Did a good job of avoiding the shot and sneaking in to get such a clean shot

With all the fights ending in the 1st round, i am pretty sure they will be able to squeeze these in during the FX showing. Glad the bets went 2-1, if only Dan didn't stop that one early it could have been a real nice start. For the FX card, the TJ Grant line has moved a ton. I got it at +155 yesterday, and last i looked he is +105. I thought money would be coming in on Dunham, so i am a bit surprised there. I bought out of my Pierson bet because that was not a good bet, so i am riding Malgalahas and grant for the FX card. if i could parly, i would feel confident sticking Hettes in an parlay i could find.ETA: i got Swanson for the main card if you can get him over +200. I also grabbed a little bit on Hollett, based on the fact that hammill hasn't fought in over a year and who knows how he comes out in this fight in another country. Got some money on Bisping, and if Benavidez line keeps dropping i will grab him as well. also have under 1.5 rounds for belfort-Jones. Would have loved 2.5 rounds, but oh well. I think Vitor comes out guns blazing and knows his only chance to win is the catch Jones with a huge shot. Longer the fight goes the worse his chances become, so i think he figures he either comes out and drops Jones in the 1st, or he gets dropped in the 1st
Yeah, i was getting a little worried. looked like one of those situations with a fighter in a new country and not adjusting too well to the new environment. His weight cut wasn't easy, and he did look off to start the fight. Luckily he could do that against Thoreson, but he won't be able to do that as the competition gets tougher.
Had big bet on Baczynski.

some late money came in on Thoereson to push the line down more, and I was hoping that i didn't miss something. Glad it worked out
i can't figure out why Hettes keeps coming in with his hands down. And horrendous commentary from the boys "Hettes has Diaz-like stand-up"?? What?? Yeah, he keeps his hands down, that is about it. I guess they are looking for something to say, but that was just silly. comparing Hettes boxing offense to the Diaz's is just silly
nice to see the judges get it right. I thought it looked kind of clearly like Brimmage got rounds 1 and 3, but wasn't positive that was how it would go. Surprised at Hettes. He has looked very dominant in some of his other fights, but he looked like he almost took this one for granted
I'm liking the Jones-Belfort un 1.5 rounds at + odds a little bit more. I also hope the Benavidez line keeps dropping, i may jump on it if some of these other picks hit. Swanson is one of my bigger bets too, but it might be a bit of bias with that one. I just think Swanson is finally healthy and fighting at a level he should be. Combined with his teammate fighting and training for Oliveira a little bit ago, i think Swanson's chances. I also think Hollet is a live dog. Hard to have a ton of faith in Hammill when he retired over 400 days ago. He also looked to be slowing down at that timeOn Grant later- also parlayed Bisping in a few fights.
It'd be hard to get that wrong. Brimmage was landing straight power all fight. Easiest thing for a judge to see. If they get that wrong, oof.
Agree on Hammill. His heart wasn't in it so he retired. Wonder if he needs money?Swanson - Oliviera should be dynamite.I'm liking the Jones-Belfort un 1.5 rounds at + odds a little bit more.

Hard to call. If anything, i would guess TKO, but the only way he wins by sub is if Belfort gets stunned bad and sticks his neck out or gives up an obvious sub to Jones. And seeing how Belfort got blasted as bad as he did against Silva, my guess is his chin will probably have it be more of a TKO than sub
yup, and with the fighting being so close i wonder if any home advantage may steer the judges closer to Pierson. I haven't watched this one closely, but it seem that one of these guys needs to make a good impression in the 3rd to help their cause
Hard to argue the decision, but i do think the home cage advantage helped Pierson. I would think you could probably give both the first rounds to Pierson, but i think you could argue that the 3rd round was a 10-8 for benoist too with the way he almost had Pierson out. The only thing was Benoist only dominated that 3rd for the last minute or so, so the 29-28 was probably the right call. That's what i get for buying out of my initial inclination with the fight
Felt strange going 6 weeks from the last card. Definitely coming back looking strong
he does, but i would have thought he had more power in those shots. He has landed a lot of shots cleanly, and they don't seem to buckle Dunham too much at all.
Obvious the books don't listen to Goldy or Rogan. Funny hearing them say with a minute left in the 3rd that this would be tough to judge. They may be right with the takedowns, but it seemed apparent that Grant pushed the pace most of the fight and landed the most damage. i would think 30-27 Grant, possibly 29-28 but i am not sure which round i would give to Dunham
Nice job Dan, way to stop the fight prematurely. Hate starting 0-1, and have to climb up the mountain to get back into it now. Mirgliota sucks 
My man Seth!
