Charles Oliveira Upsets Kevin Lee In What Was Probably The Last UFC Fight For A While
We had a bit of a rocky start at #UFCBrasilia, when the first NINE fights of the day went to decision, but we finished strong with three straight finishes in three great fights.
Charles Oliveira might've just looked better than he ever has against Kevin Lee - pieced him up on the feet, was super dangerous from his back, and had a gas tank that appeared to vastly outlast Lee's, allowing him to sink in a nice guillotine choke for the win - and once again, we had some hubbub after the fact!
In my eyes, it looks like Kevin Lee probably went out while he was tapping, and then he came to, still kind of out-of-it, thinking he was in the middle of a fight, so he tried to grapple. It definitely ain't an Alistair Overeem "I never tapped!" scenario.
All in all, I guess beggars can't be choosers when it comes to sporting events right now, and even though the UFC's empty arena event produced a few stinkers today, it was also one of the only things going on and worth talking about. I had fun at least!
Hopefully you guys did too, because this was probably our final UFC card for a long time.
I believe my picks went 3-2 on the main card (with that +140 Oliveira play) and both locks I suggested for padding parlays hit. Boo-yah. Don't get used to it!
