There goes about 3/4 of a years worth of winnings.

Seats - There are no good seats (unless you are ringside). We had floor seats 11 rows from the ring... pretty close and I paid quite a bit. I couldn't see shit. You can't see over other people's heads

I don't really agree with you on this one. I think Cotoure has a good chance against Silvia, mainly because Silvia hasn't done anything in the past 2 fights to impress me at all. Maybe he's just holding out, who knows. But honestly, I want Silvia to win, in hopes of an eventual Silvia vs. Cro Cop card. Man, that would be frickin sweet.

 

In hindsight, this makes it seem like you're totally retarded. Couture would literally kill couture and cro cop at the same time

I've missed GSP. Unfortunately now Silva is taking an "extended break"

 

Negotiating ploy. He's not stupid. He wants GSP for the big payday, beats him because he's bigger, faster, stronger. Then, he takes the Jones fight for an ENORMOUS payday, and then rides off into the sunset. I don't think he's even remotely worried about anyone in his division. He destroys Bisbing and Boetsch. Weidman provides a challenge but may still be too green. I keep thinking not about how he looked against Munoz but how he looked against Maia. I get it was a short notice fight but he wasn't stellar.

Mighty Mouse Johnson, exciting, tactical fighter or a boring butterfly that bounces in and out without giving or taking damage?

 

 

I say both

I just cannot get into the midgets. They lost my interest below feather but its not small fighter bias- I do love Frankie and even Guida (although Guida is one fight away from losing fan status, if he puts on another fight like what you just described about MM) but there gets to be a point where they're so small, so fast and so non-powerful it's like watching a childrens pillow fight on 2X speed.

 

I'm way more excited about Ellenburger/MacDonald.

I think Hendricks is the future at WW but the whole jerkoff of MacDonald not fighting GSP causes problems so hopefully, Ellenberger will kick him down the contender ladder and make it a moot point. Not betting on that, though.

 

Don't have any bets on this one but I betting medium-big on Davis/Machida @ 163.

IMO, there is a metrick ****ton of value in Davis at almost 3-1 straight, or any number of juicy props.

I enjoy Davis and think he has loads of talent, but I don't see him getting Machida down at all, and his stand up is his weakest facet. Machida will do Machida things and squeak out a decision.

 

Ellenberger has been a beast lately and is talking crazy amounts of shit and doing it well. They had a conference call the other day and he was killing MacDonald. Rory will fight GSP if it comes to that. No doubt.

 

I believe Hendricks will beat GSP in November.

 

Can't get on board with Guida. I get why people love him, or used to, but his last shit show was god awful. Greg Jacksonesque. He's all frenetic energy and hair but rarely throws a finishing punch. Great chin though. Just a lay and pray guy.

 

Now I'm just rambling. I'm a bit of an MMA nerd

 

You watching that Bellator Fight Master show? Not bad fights to make the show

I don't do Bellator since I don't have a TV and get all my MMA from the webz. Only have time for UFC since that's what I bet on. I did hear about King Mo retiring Petruzelli last month. Kind of a bummer. The guy who just couldn't win in the UFC.

 

I think Machida is a favorite and I wouldn't take Davis straight against him but at Davis/Decision at nearly 4-1, I see value.

Also see value in Danzig by Decision at basically 4-1. By no means a slam dunk but Guillard is a stupid fighter, I don't think Danzig has what it takes to overcome his athleticism standing but Guillard has no sub game, Danzig doesn't go out easily and he should be smart enough to point him to death or if he finishes, via sub at +280.

 

*May* get neck deep in an underdog Okami, but have to watch more Souza fights to make that call.

Yeah but so is Lombard and Overeem; dominant in the little-leagues until they got their big-boy welcome in the UFC. We even saw how relatively 'less dominant' Cormier was against a gatekeeper level cat like Mir. Hard to appraise minor league talent until they get their first taste of a 95 mph cutter thrown at their face.

 

Okami has never been subbed. If anyone's going to break that streak it's going to be Souza but Okami is one bad ass ************ and one helluva baptism of fire.

line must have changed a lot. I see Guillard at -120, I'm going to take it. I also think I'm going to take Ellenberger at +190. I'll also probably take Andrade at +400 just for a sweat, Carmouche was great in her fight against Rousey, but not good enough to warrant a -600 line for her imo.

He's around there if you want him straight up.

I was talking about taking Danzig props, either Decision at around +400 or sub @ +280.

Here are my positions on Ellenberger/MacDonald

 

JE in R2 - $20 @ +1100

JE in R3 - $20 @ +2100

JE/Decision- $60 @ +560

 

RM IDT $100 @ +165

Well, that ate a huge dick.

Wish they would've told the world that they planned on not fighting tonight.

Fagggots.

Both permanently placed in the 'hate' bin for tonights performance.

 

I do not mind losing money, as I usually win more than I lose but I'll never, ever accept a fight like that.

This paid off in the thousands (plural) for me this evening.

I had him $300 straight @ around +300

$400 by D at around +400.

 

Very rarely do I bet that large but I felt that line was not efficient.

The problem we have here is that since I've been posting consecutively for the past couple UFC events, people see me as the last poster and just assume there's no new information .

 

Its getting lonely in here. Fags.

Other than betting huge that Silva takes it back from Weidman, I don't see any upcoming fights that's going to cause me to lose my Phil Davis money so I'm playing small with the houses chips for a while.

 

My bets for Fox1

 

$20 Each

 

Rua R3 @ +750

R4 @ +1150

R5 @ +1750

by Splitter @ +1510

 

$120 Sonnnen by UD @ +180

 

So, I'm basically hedged even save for Rua winning in Rs 4,5 or by splitter.

I sure hope Sonnen doesn't win a splitter. I should bet it anyway but I wanted to keep my exposire a but more buyoant and that was the hedge I got rid of. I will cry if he does. Let me reprahse: that I am NOT hedging Sonnen wrestle****s his way to a splitter guarantees thats how he will win.

 

$20 Ea

Howard R2 @ +1475

Howard R3 @ +2525

 

$50

Hall ITD @ -130

 

$20 on Cole Miller by D @ +383

 

$310 total exposure on the fight but a lot of wonky prop plays, so I doubt this will be a big day.
