[kickserv]

Junior Dos Santos beat Mirko Filipovic $2.00 (+100) 4 Joe Rogans

Cole Miller beat Efrain Escudero $2.40 (+140) *1.5 Joe Rogans



Miller should not even be an underdog, I mean Escudero is nothing special, I mean guess we can sum it up like this "who the hell is Efrain Escudero"? Yes you are 11-0, but look at who you have beaten, pretty much nobody. I will go with Miller at those odds thank ya very much


Now on to the gift of the night.........Dos Santos baby. I got him at even money 2 months ago and even though his odds have got worse, he is still a gift. Sure Mr. weepaul disagrees, but I think he'll reconsider and actually follow kickserv (and others) and come to his senses and take Dos Santos. I have said it in other posts and I'll say it again:

Dos Santos will destroy Mirko.....that's right DESTROY

Call your mom, dad, grampa, ex-wife, garbage man, mailman, and long lost high school buddy and tell them to bet on Dos Santos, just do it.

After this fight you will never see the farmer Cro Crop again, he's done, put a fork in him, HE IS DONE

 

[kickserv]

Fear this man......fear him......

Mirko....run from this man.....run from him.....don't get in the cage with this guy Mirko, don't do it:scared

 

[kickserv]

Fear Him....Fear him I say

 

[kegray1]

Boy there sure is a ton of down time when we have to resort to taunting an already beaten Cro Cop before he even enters the cage.

Who knew Christmas came in September as the late Weinerdog would say.

I don't feel so bad Kick now that you are going to recoup some of your Dos Santos losses with a Miller win :mj07: :mj07:

 

[kickserv]

Maybe weepaul thinks it is 2005:shrug:

:142smilie


Mirko is done baby....done.....done....done...done. Although he did beat Hong Man Choi in 2008, and we know what a huge win that is:142smilie


Did I mention Junior Dos Santos will destroy him? Yep think I did


The farmer CRO CROP dies at UFC 103

 

[kickserv]

weepaul has underestimated this man......FEAR HIM

 

[kickserv]

Mirko........run away from this man.....run...run fastkurby

 

[kickserv]

Did I happen to mention that this man will end Mirko's life?????

 

[olddirtyfighter]

Kick, I was wondering what is your opinion on the upcoming CroCop vs. Dos Santos fight?

I tend to agree with you but my heart shouts GO MIRKO!!!
It will be a fun fight that's for sure.

Martin Kampmann -357
Paul Daley +235

First line I have seen on this one....taken from bestfightodds.com

 

[layinwood]

2009 record 26-14 +34.22 units


Franklin -145 1.5 units

I like Franklin here but not a ton because we just don't know if Vitor is really back or just beating up on average competition. IMO Franklin is the most under rated fighter in the UFC. His only losses are to complete studs. I do worry about Vitor getting his quick hands and Rich's jaw but Rich is a smart fighter so I think he'll take a decision here. We haven't seen VIitor's stamina in a long time so hopefully Rich will get to test it.

The rest of the card is a crap shoot IMO. I was going to bet 3 units on Kampmann but that was because he was a dog and I thought he should have been a pickem. Now, I almost think it could be a good play against him at the current odds. His gas stank is suspect and that's never good for a big favorite.

Still trying to decide if I'm going to go Saturday night. I have a lot going on and it would be very hard for me to miss the Tech vs Texas game.

Good luck guys, I hope everyone is a winner.

Damn, something is up with the Belfort Franklin fight. The line is down to 120, that's a big move in the last couple of days and especially since it's against someone like Franklin. I'm not feeling good about my bet at all. Thinking about buying back and taking the middle loss. Crap, what to do.

it went down because Showdown and his boys are all on Vitor. It's:canada1 line movement!

 

[weepaul]

My BIG bet for this card will be-

Miller to beat Escadero at +145. Don't believe the hype. Miller is the guy who is for real.

Other bets-

Drwal to beat McFedries at +110. Drwal has more options but you can never count out McFedries punch.

Dos Anjos to beat Emerson at -110. I have never thought much of Emerson and Dos Anjos made me a believer in the Tyson fight.

Jim Miller/Story/Marshall Parlay at around +400. Story has beat Ellenberger, thats good enough for me. Marshall is pretty well rounded.

Mirko to beat Dos Santos +120. I might buy some of this bet back as I had Mirko in a couple of fight night Parlay's that came through.
Don't worry Kick, I won't be buying much back as Mirko is going to boot your boy's head into the cheap seats :mj07: :142smilie :mj07:

Good luck Boy's!!!! :toast: :toast: :toast:

 

[olddirtyfighter]

Took Miller and Pokrajac +220.
Matyushenko is a bit old, Pokrajac is solid and has IMO enough experience against lower level competition.
