I got this started a little early but wanted to post my early play on Edgar.

Frankie Edgar(+265) over BJ Penn for 100 wins 265.

I don't see these odds getting any better as the fight nears.
I am baffled by these odds. I didn't see anything in the first fight that tells me Penn adjusts enough to be worthy of 3-1 odds.
I think Penn at those odds is a TERRIBLE play.

I was on Frankie in the first fight but I think he'll get beat in this one. If Penn has to he'll take Frankie down in this fight and once it goes there I don't see Frankie stopping BJ from getting a sub.

 

[kegray1]

I think Penn can win for sure, but those odds are just silly.

It was no fluke how Edgar beat him so why 3-1 odds on a guy who lost a 5 round decision with ease on all judges score cards??

Saying Penn will get him to the ground and win is one thing.
Betting him at 3-1 odds after last matchup is another.

The odds of James Toney winning are the same as:

-kickserv having a 4 way with Anna Torv, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Hewitt

-kegray not using a torrent

-weepaul becoming an MMA judge

-GW not posting in the political forum

-sixfive becoming a vegetarian

 

[kegray1]

I think you are giving Toney too much credit.

Better chance of myself, weepaul, or Sponge liking Dana than Toney winning.

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

I have to agree with kegray. Although I think Penn will win, I didn't expect the odds to look like that. That has to be an Edgar or nothing bet, I would think.

As for Kick's post, Aniston would be the holdout in that 4-way. Torv and JLH would be good to go. No doubt in my mind. :SIB

 

[kickserv]

yep.....all down to Aniston:142smilie


A victory for Toney would be lasting two rounds.

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

I didn't even look at the card earlier, so I just realized Toney is fighting Couture. :142smilie Really? Really?? I realize Couture is like 73 years old, but how the fug does Toney deserve a fight against Couture? Gee, do ya think Randy might try a takedown or two?

it`s downright baffling.....i have to think that after all the toney lip,dana is making an example of him here.....

he puts toney in with couture in his first fight?.....

you get the feeling that dana doesn`t much care for toney`s mma future.......

 

[The Sponge]

There are some rumblings that Penn was hurt that first fight and demanded a rematch or he was gonna pull out of it.

 

[Ghost Kid]

Toney is ready
:142smilie :142smilie :142smilie :142smilie

 

[gardenweasel]

Toney is ready
:142smilie :142smilie :142smilie :142smilie

looks like they`re ready to induce labor...

what a farce...:0002

 

[THE_THONG]

whoa nelly

shamu escaped

 

[gardenweasel]

you take away florian/maynard and this is an utter shit card....

penn/edgar is just not all that interesting to me...i thiink i`m all penn`d out...

i think he wins,but, i really hope he`s on the downside...the guy is old news,imo...

 

[kickserv]

Yep..........that good:0065

Demian Maia
Randy Couture
Kenny Florian

You had me up until Florian. I think he gets handled by Maynard. Maynard will be the best and most physical wrestler he's faced. I think it will be a Sherk type fight for Kenny.

maynard scares me,too....but kenflo has a bit of a hometown advantage...

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

Well, at least we know cardio won't be an issue for Toney. :facepalm:

These next three cards kinda suck in my opinion. You got Crocop headlining the next one than Bisping the next. Does Bisping really have that big of a fan base? I wouldn't care if he never fought again. I really never understand this card making. why not put out the best cards possible and shoot for a million buys a card instead of a million buys every fifth card? Then again UFC could be run like Strikeforce :facepalm: So i better stop complaining.
