Alright I gotta ask.
Why are so many people heavy on Mitrione??
Not saying he can't win, but I have not seen anything out him to say he can beat anyone for sure.
He roughed up a pathetic Adam Fuller and didn't look all that great doing it in my opinion.
He gassed less than 3 minutes into the fight with Jones and was taken down with ease 4 times in round 1.
I have to ask this:
Does Mitrione have more power than Nelson or Alexander? No
Does he have a better ground than Nelson? No
Is his stamina any better than those two? No. Probably all the same.
Is his defense better than Nelson or Alexander? Hell no.
The one thing Mitrione has over Nelson or Alexander is he likes to throw big knees and kicks.
Nothing is adding up to why he wins in my opinion unless he lands the big knee or kick.

Kegray, shhhhhhhhh don't say anything. Hopefully a lot more people start taking Mitrione so the odds move for us.
Unless some of you guys have seen some of his fights that I haven't then I don't think Mitrione will win. Kimbo is smart enough to take him to the ground early and often. I think his head movement is good enough to avoid the strikes unlike big baby.

LOL, I was typing my other post when you were typing this one(got caught on the phone so it took me a while).
I'm not betting an avatar on this one, I really like Kimbo in this fight but I'm waiting for the line to move.
Kimbo and the chandelier chin as Wee Wee says has me off the fight. I can't chance that chin even thou i think he is the better fighter here.

Don't under estimate Kimbo:

These are my bets-
Doerkson to beat Lawlor at +416.
When did Lawlor become such a World beater that he should be this favoured over someone with the ground skills of Joe???
Remember Joe getting pummeled by Cote but pulling the sub out of the blue.
This fight could end the same way.
Jay-Mac to beat Salter at -147.
Jay-Mac might be dogshit but I watched some video of Salter and he looks like the type of fighter who can get caught in Jay-Mac's triangles.
Hague to beat Beltran at -205.
I hate laying this kind of wood on a dip shit like Hague but Beltran is complete and utter shite.
Stephens to beat Stout at +160.
For a world class striker, Stout gets hit a lot.
He also cuts.
He does not seem to have a big punch which means Stephens will probably have 3 rounds to detonate a bomb on Stouts chin.
Stout has an iron chin but I'm not sure it has been cracked with what Stephens will be throwing.
I almost pulled the trigger on Shogun but I think Machida will somehow adjust.
I can't pull the trigger on Kimbo/Meathead.
Kimbo is the better fighter but his stamina is dogshit and he was knocked doolally by a jab from a 205 pound pansy.
Good luck!!!! :toast:

weepaul......did Stout pee in your Cheerios?
You just don't like the guy:142smilie
Stout beat Wiman and then completely toyed with Lauzon. Yet still no love for Sammy:shrug:
Stout will do the same to Stephens as he did to Wiman and Lauzon......win. Stephens lost to Lauzon, lost to Gleison Tibau and recently beat Justin Buchholz, not exactly impressive. Stout is better in all aspects of MMA. Tell me where Stephens is better? Add to the fact that Stout is fighting in Canada and Stephens is fucked. Stephens has power but Stout has a granite chin. Stout wins this fight easily.
Agree with ya on Hague and JMAC, they should have no trouble winning. I will be using them in parlays.
Love the Joe D pick, but he just fought recently, that scares me.
I think I will be loading up on JMAC......he is going to school Salter.

I do like Stout, I just don't think he is a top level fighter.
Wiman is complete and utter dogshit in my humble opinion so that win means nothing.
The Lauzon win was very impressive but he hardly toyed with him.
Lauzon was handing him his arse until he gassed hard and Stout was still bleeding like a stuck pig.
Stout IS better in MMA but I think Dos Anjos IS better than Stout and it only took one shot to nearly decapitate him.
Eventually, Stouts iron chin will crack and we will be shocked that he actually got hurt. This might be the fight.
As you can tell by my non-existant Avatar, I have no clue how to install one but if you talk me through it, I'm game!!!! :moon:

This is all about styles. the Lauzon fight means nothing. Stevens has trouble with guys that take him down and Stout stopped the takedowns of Lauzon. Stout can't crack and egg and Stevens can crack a cocunut.

Let him carry around that one with GSP and all the vaseline on his body
LOL, that would be perfect.
Let's vote on what Kick has to put up.
1. Nick Diaz
2. Matt Sera
3. Matt Hughes
4. Serena Williams
