UFC 177 Kountermove $500 Freeroll + Discussion Thread

For all you UFC fans there's still time to get in:

http://www.kountermove.com/join/3147...arao-2-T-free/

Here's the card:

Main Card

T.J. Dillashaw (c) vs. Renan Barão
Tony Ferguson vs. Danny Castillo
Bethe Correia vs. Shayna Baszler
Ramsey Nijem vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira
Yancy Medeiros vs. Damon Jackson

Preliminary card (Fox Sports 1)

Lorenz Larkin vs. Derek Brunson
Scott Jorgensen vs. Henry Cejudo
Ruan Potts vs. Anthony Hamilton
Joe Soto vs. Anthony Birchak

Preliminary card (UFC Fight Pass)

Chris Wade vs. Cain Carrizosa

I don't think this is PPV worthy but since I don't pay for any of them I guess I'll probably watch. Could be a sleeper card or it might put you to sleep it's hard to say.

Not really sure why they went for the immediate rematch with TJ & Barao when the first wasn't even close.

I was thinking the exact same thing about the PPV value. I will buy it as I do all of them but probably just record it and watch later. The co main event is a joke and then you have two chicks fighting and the other two fights are a bunch of unknowns.

If I was in Vegas I would be betting the shit out of Barao at +135

I totally agree. I think Barao wins this fight.

I'm not saying the first fight was a fluke but Barao got tagged in the first round & was never the same & it was basically over then. He's a much better fighter than he showed after that happened. Of course, it could happen again.

Both Shayna and Scotty Jorgensen are underdogs for some reason. If I'm betting on anything, those are the two I'd go with. Shayna takes Bethe down and they never get back up, IMO. Shayna by sub. As for Jorgensen, I just think that Cejudo has only 1 tool in his bag, and Scotty will knock his ass all over the place eventually.

Bet on Jorgensen if you hate money. Guy has been awful in UFC. He can only hope experience plays a role.

Doesn't matter now, Cejudo is out. However, the whole idea was that Cejudo has awesome wrestling, no other skills, not even a real ground and pound, is shitty at cutting weight, and has been atrocious in his prep work for fights the last few years. Turns out he dehydrated himself out of the fight, which pretty much proves correct all the bad shit that's been said about him.


Also, I probably wouldn't really bet on Shayna, after thinking about that for a few minutes. I should have just kept my idiot mouth shut.

I'd Costanza Chaps' picks if I was undecided about any fight.

:)

Unless Barao somehow gained speed I think he's going to get smoked again but it really is hard to pass up the odds on him.

Barao is out. Joe Soto to fight Dillashaw.

They should cut the price to $0 or $10. I'd pay either amount.

At least I didn't lose 1000 on barao

Some cards are worth it but cards like that shouldn't be on PPV or should cost what a movie does to rent.

LOL at taking a fighter opening the prelims card and sticking him in the main event.

What's the over/under on PPV buys now? lol

I'll set it @ 25K & take the under.

If college football wasn't starting tomorrow, I would think that they would shuffle the FS1 and FS2 schedules to put it on free tv. They may still move the whole card to fightpass.

They aren't moving it since they already had to cancel one PPV card two months ago and it's so late at this point.

I just remembered, I'll have to change my kountermove team now.

If I had tickets to this tomorrow I would be pissed. Does the UFC give refunds if shit like this happens? If so, could be an empty arena.

Barao has made it known how much he thinks his contract is BS and he doesnt get paid enough. He just cost the UFC millions.

Soto is +700 lol
