Strikeforce: "Steroids", St. Louis, Mo., May 15th

Why is the convict Beer-Bum getting so much love against Ribiero??? :shrug:

I thought Vitor would be around -400 :scared

Exactly why I'm staying away from it.

Exactly why I'm staying away from it.

Yes,

I think I will be joining you on the sidelines.

If it looks too good to be true................

 

[Ghost Kid]

My opinions:

Ribeiro line is way fishy....I thought he would be favored more just like you guys....but I see a lot of love on other forums for Berrbum
:shrug:

Arlovski may win but he ain't getting my money....I can NEVER trust that chin....I bet him against Rogers and I looked like a fool

Rogers is TRASH and I think Overeem will fuk him up....but I am gonna wait....that line is going to get closer (everyone thinks Rogers did so great against Fedor)

Souza and Gracie look good for parlays, and maybe put it together with Din Thomas, who SHOULD NEVER lose to Mayorga

MMA=where shot boxers go to cash out
:mj07:

i parlayed vitor with britt in a small almost 4-1 parlay....

wth:shrug:

GW I like that man
Britt, I think, has a shot
Kyle KO'ed Cavalcante and I hear Britt can be an explosive guy
Cavalcante is rightfully favored here, but I think this fight could go either way
:box2:

Ghost, I'm not so sure the Overeem line will go down. I actually think a lot of people will wait to see what he looks like at the weigh ins. If he's deflated looking then maybe the line goes down but if he's still full then I think this thing jumps quite a bit.

that Staph infection was cleaned out by a doctor. That isn't what it looked like when he went in to have it looked at. :142smilie you guys make it like the surgeon gave him some cream or sum shit to put on it.

maybe you are right dude
I guess its wishful thinking
in my opinion (and I think yours too) Rogers in way too deep here....

 

[Ghost Kid]

If I were Gracie, I wouldn't want to roll with Randleman
that shit is gross man

 

[The Sponge]

not to familiar with these fighters so can someone let me know a wrestler whoo has decent hands fighting a striker who couldn't stop a takedown to save his life?
There isn't an easier bet in sports.

 

[Ghost Kid]

I just hope this Gracie is better than the one Beltran fought in the UFC

because that....was .....pathetic
:mj07:

Andrei Arlovski talks Antonio Silva - "I?m more focused, more disciplined. I'm reborn."

I haven't bet the main event (yet) because a lot of times with these heavyweights, the less skilled guy with heavier hands wins. Carwin has cost me a few bucks - the big goof just has bricks for hands.

But I got to think Overeem gets it done here. He is really a WAY more well rounded fighter.

Whether I bet or not, I desperately want to see Rogers get destroyed. The guy was a complete prick after the Fedor loss, refusing to give Fedor any credit and acting like a pompous jackass.

The guy LOST and doesn't deserve a title shot.

Anyone see a link to the live weigh in video?

Can't find one.

I love watching Overeem because he is aggresive(insert steroid joke here), exciting, and throws some of the deadliest knees in the sport.

I think this fight comes down to two things:
1st--Will Rogers be able to avoid knees and kicks early as Overeem will be kicking like crazy.
2nd--Can Rogers either avoid or defend in the ground game?

If Rogers can do the 2nd one then I think he will KO Overeem. Overeem seems to tire when bigger guys lean on him and throw big punches(see Overeem/Kharitonov 2). Shogun was able to KO him twice so it is pretty obvious power gives him trouble.

Like I said, I love watching Overeem, and he is good but I think he is soft against big punchers so I am gonna try Rogers at those odds.

I grabbed this the other day at Brett Rogers(+255) for 50 wins 127.50.
Should have played it for more as I added this today:
Brett Rogers(+215) for 50 wins 107.50

Total play:
Brett Rogers 100 wins 235.
