UFC 126: "Silva vs. Belfort", Feb 5th, Las Vegas, Nevada

[ukgaz]

True.......but maybe the worst decision in the history of MMA was the Hatsu Hioki/Michihiro Omigawa decision.

I'd have to go with the Bisping/ Hamil fight. I was there in attendance and was stunned when the judges read the scorecards

 

[Ghost Kid]

Omigawa did not beat Sandro.

Omigawa did not beat Hioki.

But the Yakuza rules in Japan - Omigawa 2 wins for you.

I watched that press conference and couldn't take anymore
because of that Brazilian translator. Good to see Dana take the mic away from him and give it to Soros. Brutal press conference.

 

[kickserv]

I was going to come on here and comment on the weigh-in....but..



I can only focus on Brittney, I have no idea what happened:mj07:

Huge props to Cerrone for tapping Brittney, what a stud. Do your weigh-in with your hot GF in the back.:clap:

Also.......anybody notice Brittney was in the centre and then the bitch Celeste moved her over:142smilie




Something tells me Anderson is going to run around like a bitch again


Hope I am wrong.

Feed for tomorrow?

[layinwood]

Damn good weigh ins but it has me going for Belfort even more now. I'm not sure exactly what I'll go on every fight but I think even though the line is higher than I wanted I'll be on Ace. I thought he would be quite a bit smaller than Forrest but he isn't. I'm going to have to look it up but he may even have a longer reach which is big IMO since he definitely has more power than Forrest.

I'll probably be on Kid with everyone else on here. I think he takes this fight.

 

[gardenweasel]

props that look interesting...

*franklin/griffin goes the distance...
....
*silva itd(hedge belfort in rd 1 at +600)....(18 month layoff for belfort)...if silva plays his way to another lackluster decision,he`s basically done ...his rep will be seriously tarnished....the fans were booing the hell out of him at the weigh-in...i expect belfort to diminish later in the fight...he`s never gone 5...silva brings the head down for some muay thai...
.....
*rocha via sub+510/hedge
*ellenberger itd...-123....don`t see ellenberger taking chances on the ground here...he does,and he might lose a limb...
.....
*rocha/ellenberger doesn`t go distance/ silva/belfort doesn`t go distance parlay...
.........
**mendes by decision...

already have 2 decent pars w/ nick diaz-silva pending....gonna hedge with a belfort in the first round or two....

 

[The Sponge]

I wanna go with Belfort so bad but the guy just scares me with his mental makeup. I hear Randy is gonna be in his corner which i feel is huge cause ya just got to know Randy has told Vitor over and over again what other fighters think of him and his mental makeup. to me it was disturbing to see Vitor trying to exlpain at the weigh in how Silva is a good man and the mask was basically a prop. On the other hand Vitor did say Silva wants a fight and this is what he is gonna get. Been waiting for this fight so long i guess i will just enjoy it. Silva has such picture pefect radar but Vitors hands are a beautiful thing to watch. Silva does look like he wants to erase any doubt on who is the best in the world. Griffin/Ace? Last time i saw Griffin fight a lefty he got destroyed. Problem was it was Silva who basically destroys everyone. Jones Badar i can't see how Badar wins this one. Jones tosses all these so called wrestlers around like he owns them and those looping rights Badar likes to use will be useless with a guy who can fight and has reach like this. Kelly to me looks like a live dog. Gonna hope the line comes down with Jones a little more. I doubt it does tho. I think it is worth the 3 to 1 odds. Lay i thought Forrest looked huge compared to Ace. Taylor looks huge next to Gabe and i love Taylors hands but that is all he usually has. Can't wait for the Belfort Silva fight. Hopefully they at least feel each other out and it last more than a round.

My Plays

My Plays

ok well i have a parlay of

Silva/Torres/Ellenberger/Cerrone/Mendes.A 5 man parlay is never really a good thing, not sure why i bet this one.

Jones/Mendes parlay..i like this bet more as i really think jones is going to showcase just how talented he is. as far as mendes goes more on him later.

Griffin small.i look at this as an even fight with the bigger man grinding out a decision.

o.k. so if i could, i would take back all of these bets.the more i look into this card, and the more i think about i,t the play that i like better than every other play combined, is Mendes. I really dont see how he looses. i like this kid alot and think he wins 95% of the time against this guy.it is nice to have a rooting interst in all the fights but if one of my early fights of the parlay looses than that kills the rooting interest for the rest anyway.so like i said i kinda wish i just put every penny down on mendes..o well will still be a great card to watch and maybe i can hit my 5 teamer..

get better odds and bet a little on him by decision....the guy has 9 wins with only 4 stoppages....not sure he has what it takes to actually stop omigawa...very experienced....

and look at the guys that omigawa has gone the distance with....hioki/thiago tavares/micah miller/l.c. davis/marlon sandro/kanehara/matt wiman....

his stoppages came in his 1st 2 fights ...a head kick against aaron riley and gesias cavalcante.....

i think mendes will out-wrestle him if he`s careful...but omigawa has been swimming with the big fishes....

if he can stay out of sub attempts,i can see a lay n` pray victory for mendes...
