UFC 287: Pereira vs Adesanya 2

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

gliese58i & mmafighting  This card wasn't easy to predict, in my opinion. So both of you did amazing

Thanks, I hope yall made some money.

Also congrats to mmafighting on taking first. You were a lot better than me on picking the right method of victory. I always struggle on that front, that's why I rarely prop bet on it.

they team up with UFC and will buy all your information from data agencies, full entrapment style

check out my awards they are my biggest fan

UFC also paid Brendan Schaub to live snitch about Reddit MMA Streams before they shut everything down

I can't comment on the bussiness-connection side of BetMMA but they have excellent tools for statistics. For example if you want to know the general outcome of fights based on gender, weight class, octagon size, number of rounds or whatever you fancy or to see what the general line for over/unders are and what odds they generally hit at for either side.

For prop betting especially I think it can provide a good baseline to help evaluate what is a generous line and what is an average line and then adjust that to your expectations for whatever the particular matchup is to determine if you like it or not.

they will give your information to the IRS

Goddamn were my picks not great this card, but damn did that Rodriguez pick feel good, knew his style would work against Raul.

I wish UFC don't sign fighter under 21 even if they're a phenom in MMA,  And 23ish if they're aren't, I don't think they're ever been a fighter who under 21 in the UFC or even in a top promotion and it end up going well for them, People are too harsh on Raul Rosa Jr, Dude 18 years old, Let the kid get better, Christian Rodriguez is a good fighter also so they're no shame in that

I think it would suck if Raul end up like another Chase Hooper or Sage Northcutt just because he got sign so young because he clearly got talent

@DamienHandel420

If anything, this loss might make him an even better fighter in the future. It showed him and his coaches what he needs to work on and as long as they learn those lessons then this loss might be a very valuable experience for him in the long run. 

> People are too harsh on Raul Rosa Jr, Dude 18 years old, Let the kid get better 

in my opinion this is the problem with the type of promotion the UFC does. They took all that time to build up this kid in their promotional videos and social media posts to be someone who he's really not. It's not that this kid can't ever reach that point and be that person that they were selling to us, but right now that's just not him. Rob Font talked about it with Adrian Yanez; where everyone was building him up to be able to walk through Font, and in reality we saw him exposed for not being who we were told he was going to be on that night. 

So you're not wrong, but I think that people are just reacting to the "false advertising" they were given for the last few weeks. They're basically reviewing a product for what it really is right now, but maybe in like 4-5 years it ends up being the best thing ever after some improvements are made. That's at least the way I'm looking at it.

It’s the UFC’s fault. They could’ve literally given him one of the 15 or so 135ers they’re gonna cut for dwcs anyways but instead they give him a legit prospect? Seems very stupid from their part. The only reasoning I can understand is it was a test to see if they push him or slow roll him but other than that I don’t understand why they made that fight
