Man is Cris a stiff? I sure know Riddle is. Got ta go watch some film. Cant believe Faber is this big of a dog. I was the first to say that Faber was way overrated right before he lost to Brown. This version of Faber is ten times better and he deserves some props.. No way he should be a dog here.

 

[SixFive]

My first thoughts were also anti-Riddle and Faber. Anti-Riddle just seems wayyyyy too easy here.

I am watching the game on TV, and he (and others) are there promoting the event.

Zuffa knows how to market. TSN crew spent 5 minutes during the game talking UFC.

Zuffa.........gods when it comes to marketing....:clap:

Best part of the weigh-in..........Rachelle Leah back as an Octagon Girl

:spotting: :Yep:


Joe Rogan not listening to the older lady at the weigh-ins was pretty funny. She'd give the weight and Rogan wouldn't even listen to her. He just looked at the scale and yelled out the number. On more then one occasion she'd say 185.5 and Joe had already yelled out 185:lol:

Joe......gotta respect your elders dude.:lol:


Oh and Faber looked tiny and Tim Boetsch looked massive compared to Lombard.

GO LOMBARD!!!!

Everybody and their dog is betting on Lombard, Timmy's odds just keep getting better and better, I gotta take Timmy at these crazy odds. Lombard hits hard but is getting up there in age, I think if Timmy can get this fight deep Lombard may be in trouble. Lombard has fought sub par competition and this may cost him in this fight. Timmy is no joke and is HUGE at the 185 weight class. Lombard will most likely win round 1, but I think Timmy will get stronger as the fight goes on.

 

[bert07]

It it gets to round 3 I will be concerned. Not sure if I can take hector at -360

maybe -160 to win inside the distance

 

[The Sponge]

Well here are my thoughts on these fights. At these odds i would have to take Faber but i don't like all the pressure he is getting lately with people saying this is his last chance at the title. To much of that going around. I think if he gets past round one he wears Renan down. He needs to come in confident or he will get wax. I think the Faber who fought Aldo would get killed by this version of Faber so we shall see. I can't stand this douchebag Head but those odds on Ebersole are a little two much for my liking. Boy Timmy looks huge compared to Lombard. The simple size difference would make me take Timmy. He gets this out of round one i think he takes it. Live betting would be what i would wait for in this fight. Cris Clements i know nothing about but i would still take him over Riddle who sucks. Perosh looked awful against Crocop but for some reason he has turned it around or just fought a few cans. Time for him to lose but he does have a size advantage. Mcgee and Ring should be a good fight. I think Mcgee is a tough kid but this is in Calgary and a close decision doesn't really favor McGee. Jordan/Kongo I hear all these great things about Jordan but he looks like a fat mess. Kongo is Kongo. Nice hands but terrible defense. Stann says Jordan is the strongest guy in the UFC. Will the strength help him with a guy with better hands? This is another i would wait for live betting.
