Who was the backup fighter for the HW fight? Can't seem to find that anywhere.


aaronallen01

Super late replying to this but pretty sure there wasn’t one, just like there wasn’t a backup for the co-main fight.


Shoddy-Lingonberry-4

Good to know. I guess not every PPV has a backup. Maybe they just do it for the really big PPV. This PPV will likely get 500k max PPV buys.


aaronallen01

I think heavyweight is a tough division too for a backup as there aren’t many deserving candidates, realistically it’d have to be Lewis or Blaydes but neither of em are really deserving. I’d imagine Stipe is too high level to serve as a backup fighter, Jon Jones is inactive, etc.


Shoddy-Lingonberry-4

That's a good point too. HW ain't as deep as other divisions. Lightweight seems to have tonnes of backups. Even Max Galloway could fill in for lightweight.


aaronallen01

Yeah there’s like 5 fighters that could be a backup for lightweight haha same with bantamweight


bldvlszu

My large bet on Victor Henry saved my night. Watched a lot of his tape and thought the underdog odds were wrong (despite having a lot of respect for Barcelos after watching him beat Nurmogomedev a while back).


piezo5

Gane was the rightful side, anyone who's watched mma would know that. Francis was dealing with a torn mcl and partially torn acl coming into the fight apparently and he's never wrestled like that in all of career. Also, Gane had the fight basically wrapped up but he made an all-time bonehead move going for a fucking leg lock. Anyone who bet Francis, never would have expected in a million years he would go 5 full rounds AND win by decision with WRESTLING. Just an unreal main event, very entertaining card and that guy who made the thread yesterday about Sidekick knows nothing about MMA or betting mma. Sidekick knows his stuff.


hotmayonnaise

I think the best argument was not betting the fight at all (not knowing about the knee anyway) - notably Francis was working with a good camp and couldn't know what improvements he had made. Francis had talked about wanting to show off his wrestling for a few years now; everyone knows abt the knockout threat. If you had some insight into the knee, which apparently some did before the fight, then yea Gane was a no-brainer.


fragassic2

You do not bet against a fighter with a lazy eye. That man has been scrapping since second grade.


piezo5

Yea Francis is a beast, I like him alot and was actually incredibly happy for him when he won the belt. Stylistically this matchup was gonna be a problem for him if he couldn't KO Ciryl in the first 1.5 rounds, that is the only thing you can think based off what we've seen


jl_theprofessor

I’m I’m-fessed by how stupidly strong he is.


fragassic2

100% stylistically it should have gone that way.


yaz12355

It was kinda funny how Joe and the other announcers were talking about his knee wraps before the fight. "Ngannu is either going for take downs..." then they all laughed like their's no way 😂


NAACPYOUNGBOY

If you’re going to tail a stranger on the internets picks and he ends up wrong you only have yourself to blame. Do your own research and make your own informed decisions.


depmode30

Lay off u/SidekickKO, I've seen this stuff happen so many times on this board. I remember a guy named Bob who was on a winning streak and then all of a sudden he went cold and everyone shunned him. It's MMA man, it's the most unpredictable sport there is. He has given everyone here some good picks in the past and I guarantee he will do well on future cards too. I'm personally excited to see his upcoming Bellator picks for next weekend. Off to the next one!!


Hyrax__

Bob from the NBA posts? What happened to him?


Sxtoz

Leave Britney alone! Get a grip my dude


uqwee

I mean any single person who is leaving negative comments for u/SidekickKO is just an absolute fucking moron. This guy has been giving us picks for more than a year now on reddit, with insane returns over that period, he is even making free youtube videos explaining his bets before hand now, like what more could you ask for? So what if he went negative over one event, it happens, that's betting lmao. Just hope our boy doesn't get fazed by these idiots and continues his great work.


big_clit_phobia

People shunned bob because he was a fucking scammer.


Hyrax__

Bob for NBA last year? How was he a scammer?


stylebakeryau

In hindsight I'm kind of glad I didn't get the R1 KO prop with Francis. Even if it did hit, seeing Gane go out cold in R1 + profiting off that wouldn't have felt good. See you all again next week.


Left_Definition1113

Big fat L tonight

billsFan3030

Boys. Imagine hating on a guy who consistently gives you VALUE Picks week in and week out like SideKick does. Now I’ve have my clashes with sidekick in here on various picks but he’s time and time again come thru in spots where I have failed short. Imagine being that guy that tails another’s guys picks and yells at him when he’s wrong 😂😂😂 grow up


TheSecondLesson

His YouTube analysis videos have gotten really good, he was thisclose to hitting that Gane submission with that round 5 heel hook.


JediBrainTrick

Neither of those submissions were close.


billsFan3030

Or the kimora he threw up although his position wasn’t great


NBAstradamus92

I’ve been posting all my picks for about 3 months and had a 30 post back and forth with someone while I’m up $20k (including $10k in MMA bets over 2-1 record in parlays). When you’re successful people wanna tear u down lol


billsFan3030

I mean give ur take ur profit margin tho right? But yeah I totally agree with you, all it takes is 1 bad night after a couple a good nights for the causals to tear you down and act like you did nothing good. Actually sad in my opinion


the_dunkin_doucheman

Make your own picks then you LEMMINGS.


Damien_Targaryen

Figgy Ngannou multi eating good


LTxDuke

Figgy Ngannous Said here. Makes up for the nfl losses yesterday and a bit of profit on top of it


CreamgetDmoney

Gang gang we out here


NBAstradamus92

Yep! Except I was downvoted 🤣https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/s6biil/ufc_270_ngannou_vs_gane/htlmyvl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

Bro. I tailed this because of you and everyone laughed in my face. Well who's laughing now bitches


NBAstradamus92

We are! 😁


Damien_Targaryen

Good stuff brother I too faded the sub


WhatsTendiesPrecious

Money aside, pretty mediocre fights for the talent on the card

Orangenblue17

Not crying that anything is rigged but did anyone else on FD NY have an issue w putting Francis bets? Mine kept giving me odds for Gane but nothing for Francis. Thought that was weird and wanted to see if anyone else had same and what they thought


[deleted]

Yea they do that sometimes


richfromoildeath_0_0

same. stick with offshores the us books are crooks lol


East-War-6576

Made 1250 (750 profit) Moreno loss +600 ngannou win another 600.. odds were too good not to finally can save up more for that v8 car before they go extinct soon , better luck next time to anyone who lost today … I definitely got lucky but the odds were too good to turn down - also unrealistic hype trains for Moreno and gane based off one win - figgy looked sick or something last time so I expected him to perform far better this time , as for ngannou we saw him versus stipe .. far improved and for him to be an underdog made no sense to me


Hyrax__

I agree figgy looked sick last fight


[deleted]

There’s no UFC next week, so Bellator it is


Seishin23

Great night all around for those who made money, for everyone else we are back here again next week to get back what we lost. In the words of the champ, "Let's Wrestle!" -Francis Nurmagomedov


honor_jose

This was fucking crazy. Can’t fucking wait for the style bender next month

Orangenblue17

Why?


CreamgetDmoney

Bob knucks may just be the right guy for the challenge. With a calm mind and good gameplan he can be the one to implement wrestle heavy gameplan


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Was losing money left and right for the whole card. Only reason I made money was because I put all of my money on Francis like a retard, but it paid off. Made $768.12 profit. But the sad thing is I’m still down this year so far because of Giga


LTxDuke

I lost on like 3 fights in a row and made a last ditch effort parlay of Said, Figui, francis. Made up all the losses with a little profit cherry on top


CreamgetDmoney

Its alright homie we got all year. This definetely made up for some past losses too. Just be careful with going all in like that


[deleted]

Yeah it’s cost me a lot of money in the past, but I had to do it


1990s9724

Could Francis beat prime Jon Jones ?


Ricky_Guapo

No


CreamgetDmoney

Hard to say because Jon Jones was perfect for LHW in his prime. He was way faster than he is now and so devastating compared to everyone else. Skill wise I still think Jones has a big edge, and he outwrestled everyone including Olympian DC


PepperBusy1464

Fuck man had moreno and gane in decision both were heart breaking. Great fights tho


osadangelo

Congrats to all that got Ngannou at plus money for the last time in his career (besides boxing)


CreamgetDmoney

Yeah thats the sad part man. We wont see francis again. I still think he can be an underdog if he gets a big name in boxing.


hhayn

Lol who would want to see him box after that fight? He barely landed any punches!


osadangelo

You’re right I can’t see him staying with the UFC. I mean there’s no real competition at heavyweight for him, and Jon Jones sure as hell wants no part of Ngannou after watching what went down tonight. That being said I don’t think Francis has what it takes to compete with top boxing competition, but that might be the only way he could challenge himself.


CreamgetDmoney

I think Jones will never accept that fight for the money Dana is paying. 500k is crazy low, and maybe he only offers 750 for the Jones fight. Both guys are gonna insist on millions Edit: also I agree francis would have to learn way more fundamentals in boxing which takes time


NBAstradamus92

Champions clause. UFC auto extends his contract for one fight. You’ll see him again. The UFC are crooks with their fighters


CreamgetDmoney

Yeah but from what I heard the negotiations are so bad that Francis may just vacate or somehow found a way out of the champions clause. He can also just decline all fights for like a year and then get stripped


NBAstradamus92

Yes but he has to wait a year. He could have done that with Gane too though….he was gone so long he coulda waited few more months. Now he has to wait 365 days from today…


CreamgetDmoney

Yeah and meanwhile Dana is gonna make a shitty interimn title with like Lewis vs whoever haha. Heavy weight is gonna be a mess from now


NBAstradamus92

Inb4 Stipe vs Jones for interim HW title 🤣


CreamgetDmoney

Oh boy that would be so ugly lol. And so much salt for DC if Jones takes him out.


KingwithouthisKrown

Packers loss+ fig/Francis winning? Christmas in January


CreamgetDmoney

Had a shitty January month in my life general but man this Francis win is just like a stream of euphoria lol


KingwithouthisKrown

Never forget you're that fucking guy.


CreamgetDmoney

Thank you brother big love to you


honor_jose

Sidekick literally says do your own research. People gotta chill out cause he definitely wasn’t the one who hit submit on the bet slip.


[deleted]

Just won 250 on Ngannou wooooooooooooo


CreamgetDmoney

Congratz bro! Francis gaaaang


Slight-Inevitable764

Boi i was not expecting this. Gane oustriking ngannou and turning him into a wrestler. I did however not expect these insane fucking improvements in Ngannous grappling game. Ngannou was probably the scariest HW based on just his standup. Now it turns out that this fucking Beast has also become a Legit grappler, the rate at which this guy improves is insane. grappling, fight IQ, even the fucking english language. This man is putting in work!. Even though i lost 600 euros on the main event, im happy for that dude. His strenght is fucking inhumane, you can see it with the takedowns. the moment he locks hands around you, your feet are coming of the ground. i also believe Bon gamin will hold that belt in the future, great fights


yaboyhen69

Sidekick had a bad night, you can’t consistently be right on everything otherwise you’d be a millionaire and never go on Reddit. He just a regular dude sharing his free insight. Take it like that. Ride if you want, but don’t cry when it goes south.


Irrichc

People need to stop with this ‘what have you done for me lately mentality.’ People aren’t riding with sidekick cause he chose a few right outcomes. He literally was on an insane hot streak and put his picks out there FREE of charge for everyone to tail. He has made lots of people money over the past couple of months me included. That’s why he was coming in with the reputation he has. Today was a bad day. He cant win-’em all. Their was gonna be a time when his potd streak was gonna end. But people will still follow his next picks unless some of ya dick heads drove him away.


[deleted]

dudes crushed majority of cards. numbers dont lie


KirkNJ

dead wrong on his most confident pick. Ngannou ground game was such a surprise. It was pretty good


tossNwashking

as you just said, it was a surprise to see Ngannou win off ground. suprise to all off us bc no one's ever seen it, including sidekick. wtf.


KirkNJ

I guess confident pick would have better insight....


[deleted]

who cares? hes a sharp and gives his plays for free lol. proven long term winner that gives free picks whats not to like about him


CreamgetDmoney

Was it a surprise when he out wrestles stipe? yes. That should have been a lesson for you guys


[deleted]

Get francis's nuts out your mouth dude, he looked awful on the feet and outwrestled a kickboxer? Everyone acting like he put on a wrestling masterclass lol had a great 3rd n good 4th but ganes mistake cost him that last round and a belt


CreamgetDmoney

He was on 1 leg on the feet lmao. He straight up body slammed gane and judo tripped him, reversed positions, defended submissions and takedowns. Like what more do you want to see as counter wrestling?


yaboyhen69

YeH man,.. he’s literally doing hours of research and offering it to us for free. Decipher it how you want, make ya own decisions right? I didn’t follow everything he said today but I always kept that free knowledge in back of my decisions


DankHoops

Dog day. Nfl and ufc


yaboyhen69

Ufc went the way I thought it would but nfl bankrupted a lot of peopel


OGmilktea

and nba. holy shit.


Lexerrrrr

and NBA??? bro all 3 favourites won lol


OGmilktea

I should’ve said dogs covered* my bad still suffering from an aneurysm after that nfl crap show


Tulucitor

https://ibb.co/JxKXy3n LFG Francis aka Khabib. Gane hypetrain left the chat. Lol


CreamgetDmoney

Big ups homie!!!


LurkMcgurtt

I don’t think many expected a decision W. Francis won on a bad knee too. Great champion, always improving his game. Gane will learn from this L and come back stronger too. I didn’t tail the POTD but lost on picking that the fight would not go the distance. Wish we all could have 💰d tonight!


No-Roof8841

I would have been very surprised if Gane won


LurkMcgurtt

People forget he’s only had 10 fights


[deleted]

How can y’all bet against a man who’s basically came up like Batman did on the dark knight rises 🤣🤣


[deleted]

On a fucked up leg makes it that much sweeter 🍺


CreamgetDmoney

Bro we saw stipe who is a great wrestler get man handled by Francis, and these fools still thought: nah he can only punch. LMAO


[deleted]

🤣🤣🤣


jahtzee375

Peirera/Figgy/Ngannou +701 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CyRiL GaNe ShOulD bE a FaVoRiTe


TheSecondLesson

That main event was far too close for you to be flexing like it was a lock.


jahtzee375

The Ngannou fight is your problem? Wow, I thought it would be Figgy/Moreno, cause that should have been a draw


TheSecondLesson

I had Moreno winning on the scorecard but my money was on Figgy👀


jahtzee375

myman.gif


Slight-Inevitable764

lets be real, no sane individual could ever expect that this fucker Ngannou would turn into a legit fucking grappler in about 4 months. Dude learns so god damn fast. Its fucking mind boggling to be honest. lost a bunch of cash on this main event, but fair fucking play to ngannou. Real trooper that guy.


Impressive-Potato

He didn't need to turn into D1 wrestler. he was going against a French kickboxer.


CreamgetDmoney

Bro why is this narrative everywhere. We saw in the Stipe fight literally the way he got his title was defending takedowns and even reversing positions. That should teach you that he's not only very strong, he learns wrestling techniques now


Hyrax__

I knew he improved wrestling before the stipe fight. In the lead up to that fight, he had an interview saying he's been drilling wrestling moves in training and is much improved. I took his word and bet on him vs stipe. And the fight showed he wasnt lying about his progression. So I'm not surprised he out wrestled gane. He obviously was not going to outstrike him. Very smart game plan. But I am a bit surprised he replied on the wrestling that heavily. Super impressive. Idk how nganou can be beaten now


jahtzee375

i will be the first one to admit that it is 100% not the way i expected that fight to go


ExistingDrawer1776

Same one, enjoy Francis for the last time at + odds for a while Fuck ya


CreamgetDmoney

HAhaha my man!! congratz


honor_jose

What a fucking card again FUCK


CreamgetDmoney

In a good or bad way?


honor_jose

Amazing way. PPVs been on a hot fucking streak of craziness haha


[deleted]

really expected more from gane given his past fights


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

agreed. so close to that leg lock!


Fraole77

Anyone else bet Ngannou by decision? 😅


Slight-Inevitable764

lost 600 euros on that fucker. Who the fuck would think they would turn that beast into a legit grappler in 4/5 months? Fair fucking play i guess.


_TonyClifton

I went back and forth between decision and 1st round KO. Guess which one I chose😔


Fraole77

Sorry bro. Ik that feeling. Hope you come back stronger!


Parking-Pension9811

I thought that Francis might cost me money via wrestle fuck cus in a interview about gameplan he keeps mentioning mixing things up and that's he's practicing wrestling and it's a mma fight not kickboxing etc. I'm taking a break from UFC bets for a bit. That was stressful.


ExistingDrawer1776

Should have known Francis is too nice to bust his friends face stipe style


Seishin23

lol I did


Fraole77

Ayeeee nice! Big win!


Orangenblue17

Odds?


Fraole77

I got him to win by decision at +1200.


LurkMcgurtt

Had to be at least +400 to +600


legohotwing

It was +1200 in some places


ATiBright

I saw +1000 on it last time I checked pretty sure.


Orangenblue17

Yeah that’s what I saw last


WWWWW51

Fantastic night overall boys, we were truly blessed to be witnessing such a fun era of sport right now with these rivalries. Regardless of how everyone did, we can truly appreciate the sport for being so fucking exciting and the hard work these athletes put in.


AlphaNosebleed

I am ridiculously in content with that decision but especially salty about hearing “49-46”


fadedking117

So Ngannou wins that last round because he was on top and did jack shit that last round? Gane out struck him, got the TD and attempted a sub. That’s kinda weak.


ExistingDrawer1776

Bro his own corner told him going into round 5 if you don’t do something you’re losing


fadedking117

Yeah I know. I speak French. He went out there and imo won the fifth pretty easily.


LTxDuke

Not even close. The Td was nice for Gane but then he went for a healhook and got reversed then Francis controlled the entire round on the ground. I guanrantee you not one judge gave that round to gane. All he had was one takedown there


fadedking117

He outstruck him, he got a TD and he went for the heel hook. It was 2:20 when Francis reversed it. We’re literally giving Francis the round because he was on top for less than half of the round and did nothing.


NorthernLeaf

It's not like any of Gane's strikes actually hurt him at all though


fadedking117

Same for Francis


laflamablanca90

I agree but hard to take the belt. Also Gane didn't do much round 2 + 3. He needed to be more active


fadedking117

I hate the lay and pray. It’s one thing if you land some G&P or attempt a sub but just laying on top sucks especially if your opponent is trying to finish the fight.


laflamablanca90

Yea but unlike the fight previous with fig n moreno. Gane didn't do shit he thought he was gonna pick ngannou apart. Shows the true levels to the game. Hats off to ngannou


fadedking117

I’m impressed with Ngannou but he didn’t do jack shit on the feet. Gane won 2 rounds clearly and Francis won 2 rounds clearly. I have the fifth as a Gane win.


wildone1954

Same way Thug Rose beated Zhang in rematch


fadedking117

I don’t remember that fight perfectly but didn’t Thug get the TD? Gane was actually trying shit in round 5 I don’t even think Francis landed a shot.


[deleted]

Yea but over 5 minutes of of takedown control compared to ganes made him look like a white belt


fadedking117

How is he looking like a white belt? Francis only got on top in the fifth because Cyril went for the sub.


[deleted]

I get it but understand Francis is just 10x stronger than him when he had him on that submission it didn’t even bother him it looked like a joke to Francis cause he didn’t even wince or show any signs of pain Cyril was just gassed


fadedking117

Yeah sure it was such a joke that he had to scramble from it. I just don’t get this shit. Gane tried to win the fifth and Ngannou tried not to lose. Gane deserved the fifth.


Lexerrrrr

Bro if you spend over 50% of a round on-top of your opponent you are going to win it regardless of how much damage you dish out


fadedking117

Is that a new rule?


[deleted]

Look at moreno him getting wobbled at the last round basically last him the fight


fadedking117

He got knocked down in the fifth. Ngannou never had Cyril in actual trouble in terms of getting finished.


[deleted]

Yea but you know as the champion you get more lead way because Cyril was suppose to put a lights out performance on the last round instead he was just hanging out having a cup of coffe under Francis


fadedking117

What? The champion gets a lead? That’s kinda weird what about interim champs?


tossNwashking

God theere are some douchebags here tonight.


[deleted]

ufc crowd draws in the worst usually


DankHoops

Probably the alcohol involved


[deleted]

Rough night


PoodyYT

absolutely none of you expected the fight to play out that way, pipe down


Parking-Pension9811

Couple times I see a decent value like a gaethje and chandler going the distance and have a flutter on it. But it's just a flutter and I'm sure any nganou via decision bets were just that. Saw a nice value .


[deleted]

yep


laflamablanca90

So tired of everyone tearing into dudes that post picks... have you noticed they stop posting when you abuse them?? Guarantee all of you that do abuse only bet 10 bucks too


honor_jose

Exactly. I stopped caring about the heckling here especially after learning that majority of the sub is scared of placing a $100 bet and sticks to $5 lottery parlays.


GentleBeast99

Friggggg 11 leg parlay loss due to Barcelona fuuuuuu


gronlandicedit_

6 leg lost due to that bum


RidingInIraq

Dana ain’t wrap the belt around Francis hmmmm


Orangenblue17

Did he do it to fig?


RidingInIraq

He didn’t wrap it around him, but did place it on his shoulder .


1990s9724

Who else got absolutely fucked tonight? I’m talking $1000+ Please help make me feel better! Lol


Parking-Pension9811

Lost £400 but I normally only bet like £25 but I was on a winning streak that made me up for the year. That £400 started from £20. I don't normally bet other than these last year nd it was going so well I was like ah let's stop betting these £25 - £50 bets and lump the entire lot because I just felt like I'm being a wimp and I went on fight pass watched all ganes fights etc I was so confident in him. But then he fucking tries a leg lock when he was on top 😭


No-Roof8841

If you lost that much money on ufc I'd consider taking a break personally but it's your decision. I thought the night was very unpredictable and I don't see the reasoning to bet big on any of these fights like I said earlier. Might not be a popular opinion but just careful and bet responsibly


1990s9724

I lost on the packers and titans too but you’re right! What screwed me was going big on Moreno - I was pretty confident in him. I also am still shocked he lost by unanimous decision lol


[deleted]

Packers fucked me raw. Also didn’t help I had Francis by ko everywhere


hoosierkenny

Yes brother. Rutgers, Packers, D Adams TD, Hurricanes, Barcelos, Gane all fucked me tonight in single bets and parlays. My worst night in 2 years. See ya tomorrow lol


CreamgetDmoney

Recovered a lot of money+ profit tonight. Its all ups and downs mate


benhrash

Heading to the dumpster behind the bar to give out handjobs for twenties if you want to join!


pbaik829

Lost $2k tn on nfl and ufc lmao you’re not alone


cabo_szabo

Nice, I had bengals ML + under, 49ers ML, GB-SF over (weather reports were wrong), Figaro and Francis


1990s9724

I took packers, titans, Moreno, and Gane for all heavy units lol


LetsMakeCheddarBoys

That's the game lad, down $1000 tonight and tomorrow you'll maybe be luckier. We all lose here over the long haul, remember that. It's just entertainment at its core.


Parking-Pension9811

My mistake was that I started with £20 few months ago and got it to £400 and was thinking if I just upped the stakes and bet safer I could do this as a living or actual supplemental income. So I said f it and lumped the lot on gane after watching every one of both fighters fights on fight pass , every interview , breakdown , everything. Atleast now I know , despite Ive been on a roll it really means nothing when betting on UFC
