JOE RIGGS
ELAINA MAXWELL

odds = $1.93 *4.5 Rogans :scared


Can't believe odds on Maxwell I thought she'd be a bigger fav:scared And I don't see Riggs losing, nice parlay payoff, well ummm hopefully:142smilie


Sadly no odds for Jeremiah Metcalf vs. Ray Daniels:nono:

Oh well:SIB

 

[kegray1]

I am somewhat shocked at the odds on Melendez(-345). Thomson is a solid fighter even if he is stepping up in competition. I thought Melendez would be around -160.

 

[kickserv]

Two words on Thomson......LIVE DOG

 

[kickserv]

Adding play on Josh....odds way too good to pass on.

Two words on Thomson......LIVE DOG

I agree Thomson is a live dog BUT he is fighting with an injury (I believe it's his shoulder).

 

[kickserv]

Well hopefully it is not a bad injury:shrug: But I guess that does explain why he is such a big underdog, I just can't pass up those odds:scared

 

[muhr]

Well hopefully it is not a bad injury:shrug: But I guess that does explain why he is such a big underdog, I just can't pass up those odds:scared

He incurred a shoulder dislocation and tear when sparring and had surgery on it and hasn't fully recovered his mobility or strength yet. With that said, he divulged this information too easily for my liking. I don't like to listen to what fighters have to say leading into fights because it's usually BS.

For example, Mike Swick claimed to have done several test cuts for his fight with Burkman since he was dropping a weight class and he said all went smoothly. Then afterwards the turd claims he didn't do enough preparation. Listening to that idiot almost cost me some money.

 

[kickserv]

Good points Muhr..........ya never really know:SIB

Also......like almost every sport......guys are rarely 100% there are always injuries, just a question of how bad the injuries are:shrug:

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Thomson is nowhere near ready for Melendez. I think Melendez is gonna handle Thomson fairly easy for several reasons.

The two main reasons for me are because of his injury + rust. Oh, and did I mention that Melendez is a beeeeast?

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

ps- I'll take Gilbert Melendez via TKO

 

[muhr]

Unless I'm misremembering the 1st fight or unaware of some extenuating circumstances, I'm dumbfounded as to why Southworth is favored over Ruiz.

Ruiz, from my recollection was in control of the 1st fight and it didn't look like a fluke. Also, in his last 2 fights Ruiz has beaten Brad Imes, a competant HW and a SHW whose name I'm forgetting at the moment. Add on to that Southworth is nearing 40 and Ruiz 30. I see Ruiz as the favorite.

The weirdness of the line has me somewhat confused, but I put a little down at +240.

 

[1837]

I cant pass this up..

Thompson +380 (1 unit)
Ruiz +225 (1 unit)

I think thompson injury isnt as serious as people wanna believe..... (if you know what i mean...):SIB Toss up fight for Ruiz so +225...:shrug: ???? makes me wonder... should be even...

 

[kickserv]

Muhr/1837.........I was wondering the same thing......odds don't make sense:shrug:

Ruiz has won 8 of his last nine fights with only loss to UFC vet Trevor Prangley.........AND he has a win over Southworth:scared


I am on this underdog....that's for damn sure:SIB

I guess I should have waited on the Thomson play......he's now at $4.40 (I see 1837 got $4.80!!):scared ...oh well sometimes it is good to get in early, sometimes not.

 

[kegray1]

Joe Riggs off the card as Cali would not license him.
As for Southworth vs Ruiz. Ruiz has to be the play with those odds.
I saw the 1st fight and Southworth should have finished Ruiz in the first.
Southworth landed a punch that knocked Ruiz down and he got a mount,but Ruiz got out and they stood up. Southworth took him down late in the round and didn't do a whole lot,but won the 1st.
2ndR was short as Ruiz came out bombing and landing big early and often.If I remember it was the punches and a headbutt that led to the cut that the doctor stopped. I didn't think the cut was that really bad enough to stop it there.

 

[kickserv]

The California State Athletic Commission is a joke, no wonder why so many MMA fighters refuse to fight in California. Time after time after time they do crap like this. I know if I were an MMA fighter I'd never fight in that state. Just wait for the Affliction card, I am sure some garbage will happen at that event as well.

Riggs gets the shaft.....what a joke:nono:

It's annoying when I forget details, but thanks for filling them in for me. Nonetheless, I agree that Ruiz is still the play.
