Scroom 436 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Everything stated is correct. Jones wins but everyone hopes DC finds a way. Lombard beats Burkman, possibly by a lame decision. I think Cerrone wins but this is less certain. Jury hasn't fought at this level, but he hasn't ever lost a fight, either. That's always tough to derive insight from. Line on Jones/DC has been VERY steady @ +140's for Cormier. I'm medium on Jones and I hope I lose. You can currently buy Lombard for -630'ish but the spread is big across the books with him being as high as -900 and I'm definitely not buying this fight. Cerrone for -180, Jury for -170. Nothing on this either. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I keep seeing that Jury is getting shit because of his lack of a resume and that he has only beat Gomi and Diego Sanchez which people don't think are big wins. Nobody is mentioning that he beat Michael Johnson in December 2012. I feel like that is a pretty decent win. Jury could definitely be being undersold at this point. Cowboy could be pretty scary though, especially since it is too cold to go wakeboarding before the fight Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 His wins aren't over bums but Cerrone, right now, is extremely scary. Naturally I hope Cerrone loses but if I had to pick one fight on the card NOT to bet, its that one. Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 There is no arguing him as a fighter. He is MMA Circa 2025, in the 2010's. Man do I ever hope Cormier kills him, but he won't. Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 You know that thing has got to be at least 10" long. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Some Uriah Hall in the -140 range. May regret this but I think he's a unique case where his problem are 100% mental and if he gets those under control, it may be shocking what he can do. FYI this fight is off. Phillipou is injured Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 FYI this fight is off. Phillipou is injured Saffiedine out against Brown too. Awful. They're not idiots, you have to think that by now they have a fighter on stand-by for every important fight. All I know is that if I were running the UFC, the top few cards (at least) would have a scheduled Fighter A and Fighter B with an alternate in waiting, who would be told in advance that if the fight broke, he would be called in to replace the injured fighter so stay in camp. Perhaps pay alternates $5K to stay on call for a fight. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Nate Diaz has the lower IQ. http://mmajunkie.com/2014/12/nate-diaz-slams-ufcs-cm-punk-signing-f-ck-him-f-ck-the-whole-situation Haha have you not seen him act like this before? both the brothers have been like this for years with all the whining and complaining about random shit that doesn't make sense. They both have made a ton of money and act like they have been wronged by the world. I just don't understand why the ufc re-signed them, they might add to ratings (a little) but along the way they are just a pain in the ass and not good fighters anymore.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Because the ufc spent a lot of time helping promote the Diaz name and they arent going to let Bellator sign them and generate ratings. The UFC will just offer them wrestlers, which they will either turn down or lose to and lower their bargaining power. Diaz will still hype a fight and people either will watch them because they love them or want them to get pummeled. It may be counterintuitive because they can scrap on their feet, which makes for good fights Just a theory Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I guess I do understand why they are signed, I just really hate them Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hey Scram I watched the weigh ins and the nobody that Brimage is fighting walked out with Alpha Male coaches. Could be a problem Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Watching the weigh ins now. Will decide. Bought some Damm @ +400'ish. Against Dunham I think that's more a +200 fight. He is a legit dog but it doesn't take 4 before he wins 1. Bought some Cannonier @ +200 because he's black, unknown, undefeated and fighting Shawn Jordan, so let that be insight into what my thought process can be at times. Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Taking the Brimage bet off. The stupid green thing sealed it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Put a $20 flier on Jones by Sub @ +850. The line is really moving on him. I bought a good bit of him around -150 but he's in the -180/-190 range and on the move. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Betting small because I've been losing all year but taking Garbrandt +115 and Cerrone -150. Will take Cormier just for a sweat if I win at least one of those Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Jones closing above -200 nearing post time. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Is it just me or is that a surprisingly low number for an undefeated champ with 7 straight title defenses fighting a guy who has only beaten hw cans, a 44yo middleweight and a barista Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If that Guataffson fight didn't happen Jones would probably be -600 I also think olympic wrestler means something to sports betters But yeah jones should be higher Link to post Share on other sites
Scroom 436 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I wonder if Damm will buy himself another fight in the UFC with that finish. The fight itself was sad but the ending, awful yet joyous. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm medium-large on Jones and stopped scaling in in the -160's. If I wasn't maxed out on him, I'd still buy him right now at -200. Link to post Share on other sites
