I'll be on Babalu just not sure how much yet. First, Babalu is a really good fighter and more importantly Mousasi is moving up in weight. I think Babalu can get him to the ground but if he can't then I might be in big troulbe.

Also, I could be the only one but I think I like Carano in this dog spot. I think she'll put Cyborg on her back and gnp her. I'm not as confident with this fight but I know I wouldn't risk that much on Cyborg.

I believe Gina will win this fight on stamina but I won't bet after this fuking weekend from hell.

Looks like the Nick Diaz fight may be off as he was a no show for a drug test.:scared

 

[gardenweasel]

i thought both gina and cyborg were primarily strikers?.....


who has the better ground game and how would we know that?...

i think the smart thing to do would be to have a "mandatory gina/cyborg opinion thread" and whatever the consensus agrees on,go the other way.....:idea:

Gina Carano beat Cristiane Santos $2.55 (+155) *2 Joe Rogans

Mitsuhiro Ishida beat Gilbert Melendez $3.10 (+210) *1 Joe Rogan



Taking the odds on Gina now, they will be worse by fight time. Gina actually opened as a tiny fave, now she's +155, I'll take that. Yes I know most think that Santos will maul her, but I think Gina will last round 1 and 2 and take her out late. Of course both will miss weight and fight won't even happen:mj07:

Ishida is no joke, love him at those odds

Kick i wonder if these would be ur thoughts if Gina was the favorite :142smilie lets say like -175

 

[layinwood]

Well today is the day Kick has been waiting for. How much will these women weigh.

Over under bet for everyone.

Both fighters make weight
Yes +120
No -130

Get your bets in boys!

2009 record 22-11 +34.17 units

Carano +160 .5unit
Babalu +180 .5unit

For the record I really like Mousasi and think he's a really good fighter but I think it's a big step up for him, not only in weight but competition. If he wins I think the UFC is going to be kicking themselves because a fight between he and Anderson would be awesome.

Things that worry me-Mousasi's ground game looked great in the short period that he was down vs Jacare. If he can look good against Jacare then he'll probably look good vs Babalu but I'm hoping the size difference helps.

 

[layinwood]

Any idea if there's a place we can watch the weigh ins? I want to put more on Gina but I want to see them first.
