    yeah i do mate, love it, really sick of clueless/corrupt judges costing me money lately though to be honest so im gonna leave of the bets for a while i think. only good thing about bad judging lately for me was george st pierres last fight, i lumped £300 on st pierre to win and in my opinion johnny hendricks clearly got robbed and was the better man that night. ( RELIEVED THOUGH TO SAY THE LEAST. )

    BT Sport. I think its such a good channel considering you get average 2 PPV cards per month which are $55 in america to order. and its all free with BT Internet! i lovve it. get a fair bit of football aswell. I have been into UFC for about 10 years and its getting bigger and bigger every day. So Jordan you wont find it hard to learn everything you need to know ionline there is so much out there now. I cant believe you bet on st pierre to win! Hendricks is unreal. and yeah he got robbed. he beat GSP so badly he retired! I wouldnt bet on that it was just too close IMO. I bet alot on the undercards because you tend to get alot of the unknown up and coming fighters trying to make a name and if you know anything about their background etc it can be quite profitable to bet on. download the 'mma underground' app for all the latest news and results. its also got loads of videos and photo galleries from past events. great app. and ROCK.... dont get me started on some of the judging recently!!!

    pretty good nights action, mcdonald to win on points, daniel cormier to win inside 3 and ronda rousey to win inside 5 was my bet, pretty easy money for a change. good nights action although not sure about the stoppage in the rousey fight. still happy tho :-)

    Decent looking accum you got there mate. Cant argue with it really, However Hendricks not making weight first time yesterday is swaying me a little towards Lawler in the later rounds. Henricks needs to KO Lawler early on otherwise i can see him getting tired and Lawler taking advantage.

    I cant wait for the fights... will be watching at some point tomorrow morning... cant keep my eyes open now lol

     i think hendricks is on a different level to lawler though, when you take gsp the distance and outfight him in every department and only get beat by a robbery then you have a special fighter on ur hands.

    got to go hendo. shogun is good yeah but way too inconsistent and hendo is tough as nails. hendo will be constantly pushing forward and i think it will be too much for an aging, past his best, shogun.
