Seems I was wrong to have any doubts on Silva's destruction of Okami. Although I am not sure what Okami's gameplan was. He seemed to choke, and lost without having attempted a SINGLE legit takedown. Very strange.
I was also wrong on the Forrest fight. It happens.
I was super stoked to see Nogueira win though. And he looked good too. I remarked to a friend right before the fight that Nog always had solid boxing, but his head movement just sucked. And his chin can no longer withstand the take-one-to-give-one strategy. Well, the he comes out ducking and weaving like Anderson Silva, using great head movement. That made the difference in this fight. So happy to see him win.
Obviously we were on the right side of the line with Pearson. At +260 he takes it to a split decision. So while he didn't actually win, he was definitely undervalued and it was a good bet.
We did win our over bet for that one, as both guys were tough, and as I predicted lasted the whole 3 rounds.
We lost on the Thiago under though, and i can't help but think he could have been more aggressive and finished him. oh well.
Rousimar came through as expected, but it seems like he can't go a single fight without some kind of controversy. He started celebrating before the ref had actually stopped the fight. Strange. Still, he dominated Miller for 3 rounds and brought us a W.
We ended up slightly down for the night, but not huge. Til next time.
