+2800 right now on Bet365 to give an example. +5000 for round 1 sub.

Also anyone who expected Bonfim to KO Pichel doesn't watch tape or study fights.

It was very obvious Pichel would go to decision. He is incredibly durable and very hard to sub.

And no, Ismael Bonfim is not a fade. He performed exactly as expected

@Arturo Gatti 
nah. If vinc had moments of sucess than Yes. But he was dominating the fight in a entertaining way. His stock is still good.

It will depend on his next fight

Apparently the prices were kinda crazy. Not a smart move by the UFC if that's actually the case. Especially in a country like Brazil, where a lot of people struggle to make ends meet
