UFC 74: Final thoughts

A lot of people are talking about Gabriel Gonzaga’s broken nose being a major reason he lost to Randy Couture. Well, it turns out that Couture had a broken arm during the fight, as well. Bloody Elbow has some of the details. Fight Opinion also has a link to the list of injury suspensions . . .

Did you get a chance to see the Renato “Babalu” Sobral vs. David Heath fight? Check it out in the videos to the right before it gets taken down. After watching the tape a couple times, I’ve got to agree with any punishment the powers-that-be decide to hand down against Sobral, who clearly held on to his anaconda choke way too long. What a punk move . . .

Despite going 0-3 in his betting recommendations for UFC 74, Justin has some pretty good insight into betting the fights at his blog Justin’s MMA Betting. You can tell the guy knows a thing or two about sports betting. Did I mention I went 4-1 with my picks? Whose your daddy? . . .
