It shows that, even in a fair game (martingale), and even if you have a huge initial fund, the probability of ruin in an infinite time horizon is a 100%. Unless, your income grows faster than your average losses, then, it goes below a 100% but remains positive. Bad news for gamblers ;) My bets for the 19th Fedor (big time), Irvin (good odds), França, Buentello, Barnett. Well, in insurance statistics there’s theory branch called (probability of ruin).

Even at the end of the Lytle/Kos fight, I was still wondering if Lytle could catch Kos. Again in the 'Page/Griffin fight. Forrest controlled most of the action, but Rampage could've KO'd him at any time. That said, Silva is amazing and except for the one big punch, he will not lose to Irvin. Watch how Silva trains, watch how he fights, he's is technically superior on his feet to anybody in MMA. He's a BJJ black belt to boot. That's a tough combo to beat.
