As for the second part define what you mean by "kill her off". Are you insinuating that Ronda was in on this and she willingly got shit kicked to fix the fight? Or are you saying the UFC strategically gave Ronda a title shot because they knew she would lose against Nunes? Either way it sounds really far fetched.

And no, there's no other up and comer in the woman's division that will bring in close to what Ronda did.

She's mentally broken and UFC doesn't want to deal with her anymore. I think the UFC want's go in a different direction.
I never said I have any proof of this, I'm just going with what I think is happening.:drunk:

Ronda could beat Floyd though right? :/ shes a joke.

I'm thinking Ronda was there to take a dive. Almost like a severance cheque for her. She got paid big to take that fight. There was no chance for her to win. She's a garbage fighter that's been crushing pop cans her whole career. Giving her a title shot was an easy exit for her since Nunes would definitely smash her.

What would the colour of his shorts matter even if he was in on it?

And there's no way Ronda would take that beating and wait for the ref to stop it, she would have taken one or two shots and went down.

Ronda was rumored to get roughly 3 mil and Nunes was only getting 100k. It needs to be convincing enough. She got beat up, but the fight lasted under a minute.

She got 3 mil because she sells PPVs, Nunes does not. I'm not a fan of Ronda but there's no way someone as competitive as her will willingly go in there and not only lose, but get humiliated and risk her pretty face for some extra cash.

All the promotion was on Rousey because she's significantly more popular among fans and casuals than Nunes. Same reason why a lot of the focus for McGregor/Aldo was done on McGregor. The fact that Rousey is represented by WME/IMG makes it that much more obvious (they own the UFC)

u got to be smart when your betting on sports. my dad does the same thing too

If you're really smart you probably wouldn't be betting at all lol..

Back when I first started getting into NHL betting I was HEAVY into the league as a whole, I probably watched 150 games that year and took into account everything from injuries, travel, etc.

I MAYBE made $500 that year with probably 20 times that risked over the season

Still waiting for conspiracy picks.

Come on, bounce. Hook a brother up!

Best sports better in the world only has a 5% edge.

for anyone that has basic understanding of statistics, coincidences are hardly coincidences at all given all the combinations of occurrences that happen everyday, you can find patterns in anything

if I flip a coin a billion times, and it lands on heads 100 times in a row, is that some conspiracy?

its not fair to only look at winners to see who they acquired that have this figure.
how about look at the teams that played bad and if they also have players fall into this criteria then it doesnt really work

Who do you guys think will win SB51?

nunes is a far superior fighter to rousey, thats why rousey lost lmao not cause it was fixed

you really think nunes would have any troubles against someone who throws punches like this?

The Pats have to be the favorite. I despise the Packers more then any other team but they are running hot right now, I could see them take a run at it for sure. Pittsburgh could also be dangerous, I'll be putting my money in a couple directions and hopefully one of them pans out. :)

There is less sport fixing when it comes to amateur sports.

Go Canada go! World junior team sends the Swedes home in today's semi final.

Bring on the Americans!!! Going for gold! :fuckyea:

U really need to watch European soccer lol

Few years back alot of ppl thought Liverpool was going to win EPL after so many years and on the final game they make sure they lose top spot by shooting in their own goal by mistake

Then after they heard man city took top spot after scoring,they went on to win that game at end

For anyone who's interested in sports, it's crossed your mind at least once before. Over the last couple years I've gotten into sports betting and have placed bets based on some of my crazy conspiracy theories. Personally I think sports in general is fixed.

Let me elaborate on some of my research. Simple gematria has been around for ages. I noticed that "Superbowl" in simple gematria adds up to be 131 and "Championship" also adds up to 131. The past winners of the Superbowl has had players that joined their team that year when they won. Just for the record, this is just for the winning teams. Here's some stats for the past 10 Superbowls.

Spoiler!

Last year was the first time betting on the Superbowl. On top of the 131 connections, Peyton Manning was set to retire in 2016. He's highly known in the NFL and I felt they helped him get a final Superbowl win before he retired.

I also decided to bet on the NBA using 131 as my foundation for research. As we all know, The Cavs beat the Warriors. Before the series started, I did some research and noticed Lebron James had 127 career playoff wins. If the Cavs were to win the playoffs, he would end up with 131 wins. As I dug deeper into my research, numerology seemed to play a big role and 131 wasn't the only number I was looking at. I was now looking into numbers that lined up. Cleveland's area code is 216, and year was 2016. The final score of Game 6 was 115 and 101. 115+101=216. Lebron James is also known as "King James". The real King James was born on June 19th. Lebron James wins the series on June 19th. Another thing that made me confident that Cavs were definitely going to win was the fact that Nike had just signed him to the biggest contract in history. He was also rumored to be in the new Space Jam movie.
Some more interesting NBA numbers. In honor of Kobe Bryant retiring last year, the NBA declares April 13th to be "Mamba Day". Mamba day in simple gematria is 60. Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in his final game on April 13th.

I figured if the NFL and NBA are fixed, the NHL must be as well! The Pittsburgh Penguins added Bryan Rust who's birthday is May 11th (131th day of the year) and Nick Bonino whos birthday adds up to 131. I never ended up betting on the Penguins because I wasn't too confident in myself at the time.

I wish I had screen shot the date I placed my bets for the Cavs and Bronco's. I have a hunch on who's going to win the Superbowl in Feb and I've screen shotted it now and I'll post it when it's all over.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy? Do you guys think there's any merit to my findings or if there are actually any connections between numerology and sports?

So? Did you correctly guess the Pats? I'm dying to know!

I don't follow Football but I did check the score online just for curiosity and I thought Falcons had it. I checked the score later that night to see a miracle comeback... Crazy!
