SHEVCHENKO vs. NUNES: It took a lot for me to make this bet, but what's done is done

Not sure how that would have worked either. The UFC really needs to have some backup plans for some of these situations because it's not fair to those that bought PPV tickets or ordered the event. Happens way more often than it should. I pray that nothing happens with UFC 214 because that card is stacked

That would have put us at a nice advantage if she's fresh out of the hospital. Of course I have no qualms taking the money having already locked my bet in.
Dumped, BWS - What can you do? Now I have to go scout Sage Northcutt on July 29th as my next UFC fight.
Does anyone know how fast there will be a rematch? 1 month? 2 months? 6 months? Is there a guaranteed rematch or is that in jeopardy too?

Playing Schevchenko AGAIN at -130. 
Nunes, as the OP describes, not only has the disadvantage in a 5 round fight, but she also has had to suffer through the guilt and defamation of having one of the biggest advertising campaigns in a MMA fight for females, being cancelled, because she willingly pulled out at the 11th hour.
Psychologically and physically, that's a heavy load to carry against such a seasoned fight like Schevchenko.

Valentina did not push the fight and did not do enough to win. To be the champ you have to beat the champ and relying on the judges never works out.
On another note, who the F thought this fight would go the distance? Holy crap, I hedged all my finish bets half way cause I saw how slow the pace was!

That was...an awful night and a bad fight.
Nunes pulled the McGregor the entire fight with the open hand, so many times she was warned no less than 4 times, possibly 5.
To not take a point away after 5 warnings? What is the point of reffing?
Then to go to the scorecard...What more can Schevchenko do? She landed more and controlled the whole fight and lost the 5th. What 3 rounds do you give to Nunes 1/5 and what? 2-3-4 cannot go to Nunes. Schevchenko landed more punches and controlled all three.
To give it to Nunes for 2 takedowns in the 5th, two takedowns she did nothing with. Come on....
The girl backed out of the first fight, came out timid in the second and they still gave her the victory. Just terrible.

Awful... Nunes was frustrated the whole time, forced to fight Shevchenko's fight. The open hand thing was ridiculous. Valentina could have gone 5 more rounds. Nunes should have gotten zero benefit of being the champ coming in... title should have been vacated.
Dana White having a terrible stretch right now... Jones drug use, mishandled Nunes backing out, the PPV fiasco with the Conor/Floyd fight and now this.
