MMA WEEKEND JULY 19th and 21st

[kegray1]

THREE CARDS:

UFC FIGHT NIGHT(7/19)
AFFLICTION (7/19)
DREAM 5 (7/21)

Which card is best?
What fight interest you most?
Which fight stands out as strange odds?

Let me say that Affliction will get 100% of my attention as I am looking forward to almost every fight on the card.
Also looking forward to staying up for DREAM 5.
Sorry Dana your card is my least favorite.

I am looking forward to the DREAM 5 fight between Kawajiri and Eddie Alvarez and the Barnett/Rizzo fight on Affliction.

Strange odds seem to be why Crocop is only (-160) over Jerome Lebanner. Are they questioning Crocop condition injury wise. Lebanner has NO CHANCE in my opinion. I will be going VERY HEAVY ON THIS ONE.

I am going with a parlay spread out over the 3 cards. Jackson screwed me last night on the 1st spread parlay.
PARLAY: A. Silva, B. Vera, Aleksander, Fedor, and Crocop 200 wins 521

DREAM 5 has some fighters that I am very interested in seeing again.
Mark Hunt returns--what does he have in him.
Kickserv's own Denis Kang on the card.
Norifumi"THE KID" Yamamoto of K-1 fame is also fighting undefeated Joseph Benavidez which should be a good one.

Cro Crop most likely isn't fighting.....

And Kang better win (if he fights, he most likely will, but still up in the air), he "sh** the bed" last time he fought.


As for those three days, really looking forward to the following fights:


Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin
Anthony Johnson vs. Kevin Burns
Jake O'Brien vs. Cain Velasquez
Jesse Taylor vs. C.B. Dollaway
Shinya Aoki vs. Caol Uno
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Eddie Alvarez
Andre Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell
Vitor Belfort vs. Terry Martin
Trenell "Savant" Young vs. Mark Hominick
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia

This interview was with CropCop on june 18th and he claims he will be on the card and 100% healthy:

Strange how event is two weeks away and not all fights are set yet.

I think Uno can steal that fight and he is a nice size dog.

According to the guy on the radio I was listening to today, no Cro Crop, but those fights in Japan make their own rules. So ya never know:142smilie

I am still waiting for some guy to walk into the ring with a chainsaw:142smilie

 

[kegray1]

Why do you keep calling him Cro Crop?? Is it a joke I am missing??
It is Cro Cop which stands for the fact that he was a CROatian COP( Law Enforcement Guy).
He was not a farmer.:mj07: Cro Crop would have fit then.

 

[kickserv]

I do that all the time......:mj07: I don't know why, it's funny, my fingers just type it:142smilie

i`m actually goosed about arlovski/rothwell.....intereseting to see arlovski,with all that talent,outside the ufc...

rothwell`s the big,hard punching big galoot that dominated the ifl,if i`m not mistaken...he hasn`t lost in a long time... and arlovski can be had if you hit him on the button....

and sobral/whitehead looks like a decent fight...whitehead`s been on a bit of a roll...

some excellent stuff coming up....and the nfl preseason is a about a month away....

summers suck..

 

[layinwood]

wow, this is a tough one. The card I'm looking forward to seeing the most is Affliction. I thought the Fedor fight would be the fight I was looking forward to the most but I really can't wait to see Anderson Silva fight at 205. In my eyes he's the MMA fighter I like watching more than anyone. He's silky smooth, full of power and has a mindset you can't beat. I could be crazy but I think he could be the LHW champ. It will all depend on whether his power comes with him to the higher weight classes.
