It’s official. I’ve become the “I don’t recognize any of the fighters names anymore,” guy. The fighters are generally better than ever, but very few of them land with me. I used to know who everyone was. There were amateur fighters who I knew about. I still absolutely love this sport, But I’ve lost a feel for it to a degree.
Dear God … have I become a … a … casual?

I hear you. There are fighters I like, but I can’t say I’m a huge fan of any current fighter. Losses don’t affect me much anymore. The amount of events is amazing, as it is almost every weekend, but there are many cards that I HAVE to watch live. Not the best card tonight. I have noticed that Nurmagomedov is a -1300 favourite. I can’t remember a favourite being so heavy.

I still try to follow as much as I can as I only really watch UFC events and the NFL… but there are a huge number of fighter on the roster. These next two events or ppv definitely have a lot of ranked fighters on them. Todays card is absolute trash. Will confirm when Buffer takes the night off. Lol
Reminder todays card is an early card. 4 pm Eastern for main card

Lol Reminder todays card is an early card. 4 pm Eastern for main card I’ve decided I’m not a casual. Casuals know nothing about fighting, and only pay attention when they hear the names Brock Lesnar, or Connor McGregor. I am none of these. I have paid my goddamn dues. Excellent point about not caring about loss as much anymore. I went in the deep depressions when Rich Franklin, Machida, and GSP would lose. No, I don’t care who wins or loses. Just wanna see a good fight.

I considered myself a casual when UFC bought Pride. I still watch 90% of UFC events. The last fight night was the rare one where I didn't give af.

The casual test. If you had free cage side seats. Would you show up for the prelims or when the co main event started?
I’m sure we’d all be there the minute the first fight started yelling Just Bleed!!!!

Then we'll form lasting friendships by booing the white fighters.

I’d be fucking there two days before the first prelim!
One thing I would prefer is less fights on cards. Have two cards a week, Wednesdays and Saturday nights from 7-10. 6 fights each night. Fight Night worthy on Wednesday and PPV worthy on Saturday night.
I’m gonna contact Dana right now actually. That motherfucker should be accommodating me.

299 baby!
Suga vs. Chito should be fun. I think Suga finishes him.
Dustin vs. Saint-Denis is the fight I am most looking forward to. I know Saint-Denis is a beast, but a -220 fav? I’m looking at that +180 on Dustin.
Page vs. Holland is another fun fight. I like Page at +115, but it is a bit of a coin flip. Not sure how much I will get on this one. Want to see Page in the show before betting heavy on him.
I’m sticking with my dog bets with Burns vs. Della Maddalena. Burns at +140 looks good to me.
Yan vs. Song. Not sure what to think of this one. Yan is weird. He should piece up Song, but I could see him choking too.
Pretty decent prelims too. I would argue that the prelims for 299 are better than the recent Fight Nights.

My only problem with him is how slow he starts. Dustin is going to sleep in my opinion so BSD by stoppage in y opinion.

Ngannou earned like 20-30 million usd in both losses. Goodbye sand mines.

“How about Vera by submission pays +1200” This was a text I got from a friend of mine. I know fuck all about gambling. And I know fuck all about Vera’s submission game. I guess it’s because I’m a casual now. Any thoughts on this bet? He’s not putting a lot down. He doesn’t have a lot of money - fucking guy shouldn’t be gambling to begin with.

To lazy to double check I had absolutely zero idea this was going on. And I generally keep up with this shit. I had absolutely zero idea this was going on. And I generally keep up with this shit I saw some YouTube clip. Thought it was Clickbait. It was not. Was I not paying attention or was Francis versus Joshua completely under promoted?

The whole interface of this board just switched on me, now everything‘s incredibly small and I can’t see shit.
Fuck. Not only am I not a casual, I’m also turning into a boomer.

Really ballsy though. Vera is just Mr. Basic. Nothing spectacular but he gets the job done. Now, if Vera does indeed wobble O'Malley and get him on the mat, will he try to fish for a sub or keep pounding? My money is on Vera pummeling O'Malley's pom pom head. I just learned of Francis/Joshua 2 days before the fight. I am a casual but this type of fight is promoted for casuals. You're not the only boomer. College kids in my area call me "Uncle".

See what I’m fucking talking about? I tried to reply to your post, and all I did was repost it. I hit some button accidentally, and now I only had to work this place.
That’s what I thought about Vera. Nothing special in any department, just tough as fuck. if you heard him with a knockdown, he can choke him out, but otherwise… I don’t see a submission.

This is why it’s much better being a casual. I feel no more pain. I’ll never forget the feeling I had when Anderson Silva did what he did to Rich Franklin. Or when GSP got KTFOd by Matt Serra. But to get crushed by Shogun. I was staring at the window for days, listening to Howard Jones. It’s much easier now.
