Been a while since I've structured something like this, but that would give me +445 on a decision and +115 on over 2.5 rounds, I think. Cut out the vig and it's better than either of us could do elsewhere, no?
I was told there wouldn't be math. It's a 5 round fight, right? I think CM can probably last 3, maybe 3.5, but he'll be too worn down after that not to get KO'd or taken down and submitted when his wind goes and he starts getting sloppy. Diaz always looks pudgy but the guy has endurance for days.

Yup, 5 rounds. And I think that both of those are very likely outcomes, which is why I want the odds. ;)

I'd risk $250 betting on a decision. If no decision, you get my $250. If there's a decision, I get your $1,112.50.
I'd risk $250 on the fight going more than 2.5 rounds. If it goes less, you get my $250. If it goes more, I get your $287.50. If it goes exactly 2.5 rounds, we throw the money up in the air, and whatever God wants, he keeps!

I suppose I could see my way to waiving the extra $0.50 on each bet.

Take the bet, moneybags.

Let me think on it a minute. I hate taking long odds like that. Would you take my action for Nate wins inside distance at +150?

Ehhhhhhhhhh. Let me ponder.
No worries. Already put too much on the fight through Bovada to take on another grand in potential downside in a fight between an habitual pot smoker and Ric Flair's Irish nephew.

It was a fun thought process. I had a good year a while back with this sort of long-odds stuff. Haven't touched it in ages.

I like Nate by ref stoppage.

Really interested to see Cerrone again at 170. I couldn't believe how he smashed Cote but Story is a very different kind of fighter.

Historically, have there been good streams of these fights online? I have a BWW down the street that is showing it, but not sure I want to venture out there at 9 to get a table. Suppose I could just suck it up and order it.

I'm going to second this. Working on a paper tonight and would love to watch this without bringing my laptop to a bar that's showing the fights.

Acestream working for me as well. Quality is a bit blurry but at least its not lagging.

One hell of a debut by Mike Perry.

I wish somebody would've let me catch them square on the chin with an uppercut I threw from my waist.

I think the UFC is more interesting with a dominant and cocky McGregor. Though I have come around a bit on Diaz since the first fight, I still think McGregor is the bigger character and draw.
