$20 on Jackson

Result = Win

Payout = $30.53

Yikes! I hope that is the end of the CM Punk experiment in the UFC. He was clearly out classed. Punk shouwed a lot of heart, but it was disappointing that Jackson wasn't able to put him away.

#9 Andre Arlovski (27-15-0)(+215) vs. #12 Tai Tuivasa (9-0-0)(-255)

$20 on Tuivasa

Result = Win

Payout = $27.84

I was pretty nervous when this went to the cards. I think this one could easily have gone the other way on me. Arlovski showed veteran skills and controlled most of the fight, but the judges gave it to Tuivasa in the end.

Holly Holm (11-4-0)(-155) vs. Megan Anderson (8-2-0)(+135)

$20 on Anderson

Result = Loss

Payout = $0.00

Holly Holm looked great in this fight. It will be really interesting to see if she goes down in weight to try taking her belt back from Amanda Nunes or if she stays at Featherweight and goes for the rematch with Cyborg.

#1 Rafael Dos Anjos (28-9-0)(+105) vs. #4 Colby Covington (13-1-0)(-125)

$50 on Dos Anjos

Result = Loss

Payout = $0.00

RDA was smothered by Covington the whole fight and could not get anything going.

#C Robert Whittaker (20-4-0)(-240) vs. #1 Yoel Romero (13-2-0)(+205)

$50 on Whittaker

Result = Win

Payout = $70.83

This was a very entertaining fight. Whittaker can't stay healthy in his fights against Romero, but he still gets it done. With essentially one arm, Whittaker was able to win 3 of the 5 rounds to take the fight. This could easily have been called a draw if the judges would have given Romero a much deserved 10-8 round in the 3rd.

Pre-Fight Bankroll - $955.58

Money on the Line - $160.00

Payout - $129.20

Post-Fight Bankroll - $924.78
