MMA Owl

Just wanted to update y'all regarding the mmaowl.com website that apparently was resurrected a few months ago. The url expired about two years ago and I did not renew it. Someone else acquired it. The original site was never sold but it did go into the ether.

The logos, twitter, and instagram are still mine though.

See the ORIGINAL at the way back machine at https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://mmaowl.com* , there are some screen captures of what the site used to be.

remember to add * at the end of the URL

The time has arrived to see the 29 year old MMA guy in his boxing debut (southpaw style) fight the undefeated 40 year old (orthodox style), who hasn't fought in 2 years; fight in 8 oz gloves vs what would've been 10 oz gloves in what may be the biggest fight of ALL time (money wise for sure)...

According to https://www.proboxingodds.com all of the wagering sites have Conor McGregor as the underdog at +505 vs Floyd Mayweather at -605
(*odds are constantly changing)

McGregor can make this a short fight with a quick KO/TKO in first couple of rounds. But somehow I see Mayweather coming out on top. Then there are some conspiracy theorists predicting McGregor sustaining an injury, setting up an even bigger rematch (not sure I buy this theory though).

Saturday night's fight starts at 9pm ET on Pay Per View with 3 fights on the undercard:

Badou Jack vs Nathan Cleverly -Light Heavyweight
Gervonta Davis vs Francisco Fonseca - Jr Lightweight
Andrew Tabiti vs Steve Cunningham - Cruiserweight

yeah, I've never heard of these guys either but I don't follow boxing.

And if you want to skip the undercard... well, you can always watch 'Fight Valley' on demand (amazon or iTunes) with the MMA trio of ladies, both current Champ and former Champs in their acting debuts!

Anddddd... it's official! Best wishes for a great guy and phenomenal MMA writer, Jesse Scheckner on his marriage to his lovely bride!!

This Friday, December 30th, at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada sees the return of The Rowdy One, former UFC Bantamweight Champ Ronda Rousey as she faces The Lioness, current Bantamweight Champ, Amanda Nunes at UFC 207…

The betting lines have it for Rousey at -135 to Nunes +125 (i.e. pretty close odds)...

In the Co-main event, UFC Bantamweight Champ Dominick Cruz defends his title against Cody Garbrandt.

Wazzz looking forward to seeing Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum 2 but the bout was cancelled due to injury Velasquez sustained in training camp... :(
