UFC Long Island Week In Review
What’s up guys it’s Monday morning and we’ve had a full day to process UFC Long Island. This card is going to haunt me for a long time. We made such good reads on this card and were legit as close as you can get to being up over 40 units. Instead we’re down. My favorite two spots both lost and it cost me. Let’s take a look at this card and take what information is going to help us going forward
Stolzfus and Dustin Jacoby were clearly the right sides and we were all over it. Stolzfus had the clear wrestling edge and I love how he really turned it on after round 1. Jacoby may have gotten an early stoppage, but Jung was done. Jacoby is at a hot gym and has looked excellent. Both of these guys may end up getting a jump that’s too much after this. I may be looking to fade both.
Herbert Burns was one burst and done. If Herbert wins that fight we would have won soooooo much money. He had that triangle locked in and when he rolled to mounted triangle I celebrated prematurely. After Algeo got out, Burns gave up. Burns says his knee gave out and that’s why he couldn’t get up and that’s why he couldn’t finish the sub. Not sure how true, but a fucking bummer if it is. Not sure what to do with either guy going forward. Think I’m going to avoid them both
Ricky Simon was easy money and that guy is fucking good. His wrestling is ridiculous and he has good power on the feet. Really hope he gets the Suga Sean O’Malley fight. Would love to see what the line would be. Suga would lose that fight and have some excuse like “all he did was wrestle me, I’m still undefeated on the feet” guy’s delusional.
We had Soriano by tko in Nancy’s card and on a parlay. Looking back that was a hammer spot that I missed. So obvious that was going to happen. We knew it, and didn’t cash. My mistake
Hearing su mudaerji fought on a torn ACL. Didn’t seem to make too much a difference in the fight, but it explains why he gassed out so fast. That’s why he lost. He was battering Schnell and gassed out. Will def bet on him going forward.
Miesha Tate looked absolutely horrible. She was slow, she was sloppy and she wasn’t even the stronger of the two. The weight cut did not help. I thought for sure she’d have the grappling edge in this fight. That’s why I liked the tko prop. Everyone hating seemed to think I thought Tate was going to drop her or something. No, I thought it would be a takedown and then she Roy Nelson her with little Patty Cakes until the ref is forced to stop it. This didn’t happen. She looked bad. Makes me not want to bet women’s fights going forward. I think I still will, but I will need to have a very strong read.
Main event was a bummer how it ended, but Yair was looking good. Everyone saying Ortega was just coming on, or of course Yair looked better early, I hear you, but Yair wasn’t going anywhere. I think Ortega might have ended up getting tkod if that kept going. Looking forward to watching them both fight in the future! Also Jourdain got robbed lol
On to the next card and like always we will have a lot in store for you this week! Good luck to everyone in the survivor pool and I will see you guys in the discord and on Twitter!
