MMA "DREAM 2": APRIL 29th, Saitama, Japan
- Thread starter kickserv
- Start date
These are my bets
Funaki to beat Tamura. I have lots of video on Funaki and he was a sub machine in his day. Tamura should win as Funaki has only had one fight in several years but I am putting money on Funaki for old times sake.
Dong Sik Yoon to beat Oyama. Oyama does not have the punch to beat Yoon and Yoon is superior on the ground.
Dong Sik Yoon/Sakuraba/JZ/Kang in a 4 man parlay. Kang worries me. His opponent is no mug, he hits very hard and Kang was KO'd in his last fight.
Good luck all.

Kin over Minowa +260 small
Kin is durable, has good striking and has shown adequate sub defense. Minowa has a lot of heart, but he's a showman and does a lot of dumb stuff in his fights.
Mousasi over Kang +231 small
Mousasi is bigger and has good standup, probably better than Kang in fact. If he has a problem with Kang it'll be on the ground, however, I expect he's improved on that weakness since his armbar loss to Gono. I've been a fan of his for a while and he's impressed me a lot.
JZ over Aoki -255 large
I had a large bet on the 1st fight and was dissapointed the way it ended. I thought it was apparent that JZ was on his way to victory. It was slow paced, but the way it was headed definitely favored JZ.
I'd like to put some money on Dong, but thus far his success has been against strikers. When facing grapplers he gets stymied. I expect he'll beat the likes of Oyama, but I'm staying away nonetheless.
I'm also thinking about Zelg over Magomed. Zelg's problem is grapplers and Magomed is a much shorter thai boxer.

no such thing as a lead pipe lock... i should have known better. :sadwave: Aoki apparently not who i thought he was... or maybe JZ not who i thought he was. i dunno cuz i didnt see it :SIB
only play for last night, though... just wasnt familiar with many of the fighters...
wanted a piece of Ronaldo Souza, but didnt have a line for him.
BJ Penn will hopefully help to avenge my losses...

Looked like Kang didn't show the guy enough respect as far as his sub skills. I love Kang but that was pathetic.
Looks like we all screwed up on this card.
I knew Kang could be in deep shit in this match but I was still dumb enough to bet on him. I though he could lose by KO. There was no way I could see him getting subbed.
JZ just shocked the shit out of me with this fight after the way he was man handling Aoki in their first fight.
Oh well, live and learn.

Kang's loss pissed me off......no way he should have lost that fight....I mean he trains with GSP for fu**s sake.....how ya let that guy beat cha:nono:
Bad...very bad.....and as for JZ......guess he's not a top 10 lightweight.......Sherk and BJ both destroy Aoki and JZ...not even close:SIB

Despite betting both Kin and Mousasi, I was only able to recover 40% of my JZ losses.
I was well aware of Aoki's guard, it's probably one of the best in MMA, but I figured JZ would have a good game plan to minimize his exposure to it and use his striking to secure the win.

I loved how JZ was perfectly content to hang out in that body triangle for about five minutes!!! :mj07:
i mean at least TRY to unhook his legs or fall straight onto your back and try to crush Aoki. DO SOMETHING!!! :scared

Told yah to take Aoki
I really like Aoki, and he was in my top 10 rankings of LW wayyyy back damn near a year ago before pride fell apart. The kid is amazing, and it's crazy to think he can/has fought in WW/LW both.
I think he's definately a top10, maybe even top5.
