UFC 131 Results

We went 1-1 on our bets and ended the night +1.17 units. I am happy with that for sure. Any positive event is a solid one.

The Main event went mostly how I predicted, except it went the distance, which was very shocking to me. Both fighters were beign VERY cautious, and that is the main reason. JDS still put on a boxing clinic, and even threw in some takedowns in the third round. Easily won all three rounds with superior technique.

In the Florian fight, it seems like we were on the right side of the line, even though Florian won handily. Nunes was never out of the fight, and even won the first round. His cardio failed him, but otherwise he put up a fight. I am glad to see Florian get the W though, and it seems a title shot is next up for him, and he'll have his work cut out for him.

I'm glad I didn't put anything on Maia or Edwards, but at least they were exciting fights, as was the whole card for the most part. The judging needs serious work, as there were many fights scored 30-27 when the losing fighter OBVIOUSLY won one round. Nunes/Florian was one example.

Over all a good night of fights. Can't wait for the next one!
