I hate to say being I live in Sacramento but I have to agree. I would love Faber to win (it would be great to see him defend the title here) but I see Cruz's movement being the difference. I don't see Cruz thinking of the first fight. He is a much improved fighter

So I'm on Cruz as well

Speed kills...enough said.

 

[gardenweasel]

caught silva/leben itd at -130......


and probably have bader as the kicker in more parlays than any single bet in recent memory...(the line ranging anywhere from -450 to -500)....that`s not a ridiculously favorable parlay stuffer....but i just couldn`t figure how a shot looking ortiz beats bader coming off a bad loss to jon jones....

ortiz was handled by hamill...literally..i believe that bader would handle hamill.....and bader does everyting that ortiz does better than ortiz...is younger and stronger....

still,given all the action i have riding on bader,i may have to hedge a little....couldn`t afford to take such a humongous hit if the unthinkable happens..

agree with you guys on cruz....one guy has diminished a bit...the other seems to get better and better ...cruz has been dominant...

not a bag shot by any means...but,the odds,imo,are very amenable to a cruz play...

the fight that catches my interest(more from a fan`s perspective than a wagering perspective) is condit/kim.....what a great match-up.....

 

[SixFive]

Chris Leben ++++ yes please!!! He's not getting knocked out, and don't forget, Silva can't take shots like he used to.

Shane roller +++++ against dummy Melvin Guillard? Yes please!! This one will probably suck from a fan perspective, but who cares if it cashes?

I like dos Anjos always as he's one of my favorite fighters, but no odds yet, and I really like George too, so idk... Tough matchup...

 

[layinwood]

IMO this card has the makings of a great night for fighting. I can't wait to see Condit vs Kim. With Silva vs Leben we have a chance to see fireworks while one of them will be seeing stars.

I think the Cruz Faber fight is going to be absolutely awesome. The speed and technique of these two is going to be very fun to watch.

Really there are more good fights on this card than I can remember in recent fights. The Bowles Mizugaki fight is one I hope I get to see.

I'm going to be in Boone/Blowing Rock North Carolina so who knows if any bars there will be showing the fights.

 

[SixFive]

Yep, dos Anjos is catching +205... I'm just fearful he'll get totally bullied in the clinch, but I think he deserves a little action here.

[ukgaz]

This could be one of the best cards in a while

So far I have

Cruz - Speed and movement
small on Leben - great style match up for the underdog
small on Winner - Two guys who need a win. Winner does not need to worry about the ground here


Views on the rest

Sotiropoulos against Dos Anjos. I think the size of the Aussie may be the difference. Really hope this fight hits the ground

Condit/ Kim - Love this fight. Undecided on playing it so going to keep views to myself for the moment

Bowles/ Mizugaki - I hope this makes the broadcast. Bowles is top 3 in this division

Simpson/ Taveres - At what stage does that 37 years of age catch up with Simpson

"Cruz - Speed and movement"

Yep:firing:

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

How is Tito still making the Main Card?

 

[The Sponge]

I really don't like Sotiropoulos at all. Very overrated fighter imo. All u have to do is touch his chin once and u have him because it is that weak. Is this the type of fighter that could do it tho? Siver showed the text book way to beat him.

Dos Anjos does have power, and he is skilled on his feet. Of course, too, he is a very skilled bjj practitioner.

Gonna look at this fight a little more. I think u may have something here Six. No way Georgy should be favored over 2 to 1 over anyone with some skill and his chin. I got to look at Dos Santos a little closer. I know Guida choked him out but i think he got injured in that match and i don't remember that much with the Stevens fight.

 

[gardenweasel]

i admittrdly have a small play on leben at +155....and a bigger play on the itd prop at -130.....

honestly,i thought silva looked very thin.....and and the way he went after sports drink after getting off the scale?.....

maybe i`m wrong...he might just be a little too much for leben...but i thought he looked a bit frail at 185...

and i thought that dos anjos looked more physical than the aussie...

He was ktfo by Stephens; he got caught, but before that, I think he was winning and beating little heathen on the feet. I still think he was robbed against Griffin. He sustained a broken jaw against Guida. I'm quite sure it wasn't from a blow but from where he was getting wrestle-focked on the cage and Guida sort of bashed him up against the cage and broke it.

 

[LetsMakeMoney]

I don't bet ufc that much,here and there but does tito have any legit shot against bader?? :shrug:

 

[kickserv]

Let's put it this way........everybody and their dog says Tito is going to get whooped. It is a horrible match-up for Tito.

I don't think Tito has a chance........but there was a time on here where everybody and I mean everybody thought Mark Coleman had zero shot against Stephan Bonnar. The odds were around the same. And we all took the massive fave Bonnar.....and we all lost:142smilie

This fight reminds me of the Bonnar/Coleman fight.
