Thanks for the props.
I think it should have been halted and Dan should have had a point taken away, Fedor given time to recoup. That was 2 clear and intentional shots to the back of the head. I hate comparing but I have to in this case, but no way in hell would a boxing ref allow someone who is dazed and going to down...receive 2 full blows to the back of the head. I've seen several boxers get DQ'd for that.

It's too sad to see it go down this way.
Fedor, and Henderson.. triumph 90% of these modern day MMA fighters in terms of heart, will, ect.
Henderson brought it. So did Fedor. In this circumstance, with 2 MMA fighters of THIS caliber, you MUST let them go out on their shield. Go re-watch Lesnar-Carwin... same circumstance among HW's.
I did factor this into the equation before wagering. Dean, Mirgliotta, and Rosenthal were the only 3 referees I put full trust in letting the fighters sort this out. Dean really let me down here.
There will be some who agree with the stoppage, some who don't. I just was astonished that this was stopped like an ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights co-main event.
I was prepared to tip my hat to Fedor on an amazing career given that he was knocked out, subbed out, or given up a decision.. but this just disgusted me.
The wager is really irrelevant at this point to me. I'm just extremely unhappy with that stoppage. With these fighters, these circumstances, just no. Either way. I promise I would be here lobbying for Dan if the shoe was on the other foot.
At the end of the night, Henderson was given the win. What's done, is done.. and I hope Fedor ditches this sh9t for good.
Good call, Verified. And i'm sorry if I influenced anyone to make a substantial wager on this. I would still do this over again if I could.
This is likely the last sports wager I make, due to all these incoming problems with off shore books. I just wish I would of gotten a justifiable result.
So again, props to Verified, good call by anyone who had the nuts to bet on Henderson. A winning ticket is a winning ticket any way you slice it.Leave a comment:

Wow, what a round!! The comeback by Hendo was ridiculous and exactly what happened against Feijao... gets rocked, uses his wrestling to escape and land an H-bomb. Lots of people already saying it was stopped too early, but replays show Fedor knocked out by the uppercut, and awoken by the shots afterward.
All I can think is what's next for Hendo?Leave a comment:

Fedor had the right idea, but I think he cut too hard too quick.
Hendo using natural speed.
He shuoldn't retire though. Just needs to get in better shape.Leave a comment:

Paul Daley +200 for one unit. As explosive as Woodley is, his wild style might leave him to be caught by Daley. Also, Woodley taking this fight on about a month's notice.
Fedor -260 for two units. Going to tail Hero here...Leave a comment:

Fedor looks lean. I think he is trying to match speed with the lighter Hendo but I've never seen Fedor so lean before. Let's see if his power carries. Hendo could possibly have the strength advantage in this one due to Fedors cut, as well as the faster hands.
I'm not even playing. Just giving my unbiased opinion. Not a big fan of either...Leave a comment:

Fedor is going to destory Hendo. Never been as sure as a thing in betting as this.
See you guys after the fight.Leave a comment:

Hendo is moving up.
I would really wait until the weigh ins to make any type of play. See how both fighters look.Leave a comment:

Well said Hero, I think you may have convinced me enough to tail. I was only going to put one unit on Hendo just because he's my favorite fighter...
Tomorrow I plan on having a few after work, so maybe I'll reserve the decision after I knock a few back :)Leave a comment:

You're not too confident.
I don't agree with anyone betting over their head, nor will I ever recommend someone to bet such a ridiculous amount... but this is a special circumstance.
Fedor's 2 losses affect the line much more than they should. From a pure financial perspective, the last year has been a blessing for both fights to make this such an amazing line.
At the end of the day... Dan Henderson, who lost to Jack fu9king Shields, needs to beat this guy: ‪The Greatest Fighter to have Ever Lived 2.0 (Fedor / Фëдор)‬‏ - YouTube

I am doing the same as you, a friend and i have been creating our fedor bank roll just for this fight, we have been taking 20% of our winnings and putting it aside, i would be nervous if this fight taken place maybe 2-3 years ago, but this fight means something to fedor, and for henderson its a big check... big big check...
I will be laying 2nd most wood i have ever laid on a fight, only fight i layed more was GSP vs Serra 2 GSP pummeling serra with those knees to the body...
i might be too confident in this fight, but no way in hell will i not bet fedor!Leave a comment:

Wow... no sh9t. I spent the last 45 minutes on a write it, and after I hit "submit", it asks me to log in, and my write up is gone. LMAO... whewwwwwwwwww.
Bottom line:
This isn't going to be close. Not in Henderson's fu9king dreams. Not in his dreams....Leave a comment:
