UFC 75

[layinwood]

Line is creeping up and I don't feel like waiting.


Rampage -146 3units (third biggest bet of the year behind GSP vs Hughes and Silva vs Lutter)


He may have to go the distance to do it but I think Rampage will be way too much for Henderson. I think Rampage is in a good place right now and his training should be at it's best.

Let it go up cause right now im all over Henderson. I just think that when Rampage gets hit he goes in a shell. Henderson is a beast. A tad light for my liking but he is a great package. Where do you ever see a world class wrestler with his hands? I can't believe this fight is for free. To me this is a big time fight and very worthy of a pay per view. Hell Rich Franklin can headline fights and these guys can't:shrug:

 

[layinwood]

It's not getting hit that sends him in a shell, it's the Tai clinch and knees that send him there. Chuck hit him with some bombs in their fight in Pride and it didn't do crap to Rampage.

We will see how he does with someone who throws some tighter punches than Chucks wild looping shots. Who ever wins it should be a whole lot better fight then what Chuck put up.

I might parlay Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Michael Bisping, but have not decided yet....I don't see those two losing:scared

Odds of $1.76 does look tempting....:SIB


as for the Rampage bout......I am not sure :shrug:

 

[layinwood]

Kick, I think I'll be putting Crocop in some parlays as well. The only thing that worries me is that Hammil seems to be so freakishly strong. If he can get Bisping down he might be able to control him in a very ugly decision. I doubt it will happen but it will probably keep me off the fight.

 

[kickserv]

true....true....I really think those guys are going to win...but in the UFC ya just never know...anything can happen :shrug:

 

[kickserv]

Rampage does seem to be a popular selection....as every day goes by he seems to be a bigger and bigger fav:SIB

 

[YankeeBaseball]

Rampage is definitely on a mission and looks great but i've been watching Henderson for years and he looks better than eve. He dominated Silva to win the Pride belt and will go all out this sat against Rampage. Should be one of the better fights of the year.
Too close to call, better off sitting back and enjoying this one.

In my opinion Henderson will win.

 

[gardenweasel]

is jackson just to big and strong?......

i loved how henderson looked vs silva,but,how`d he lose to kizuo mizaki at a lighter weight?....and fight 2 split decisions vs the great minotauro nogueira(who`s naturally much bigger than henderson)....

henderson`s hard to figure...the guy`s like gumby weight-wise.....

i think that yankee has it right...this one`s very hard to cap....


the crocop k.o. by gonzaga knocked those odds way down...maybe parlay him with bisping as kick said...probably throw shogun in there to up the payout...

bisping SHOULD beat hamill...hamill`s cardio is very shaky...i guess he could pin bisping for 3 rounds and win that way...but,in england,i`d expect bisping to have that extra added incentive....i really liked bisping,but,i thought he looked stiff vs sinosic.... we really haven`t seen him in with anybody yet....i`d like to see him in with griffin or somebody at that level...


btw...anybody see the disgraceful performance by jeremy horn at last weekend`s show?....how`d this guy beat so many solid fighters?.....

he hasn`t one iota of muscle tone....a head bigger than sputnick....he looks like he`s never picked up a dumbbell in his life(not that that`s a prerequisite for mma success)......but he looks downright feeble.......i`ve seen him several times and i`ve never really been impressed....


i just don`t get jeremy horn....:shrug:

 

[layinwood]

GW, I saw the Horn fight. It was embarassing for him to fight like that for his 100th fight. To me it looked like he might just be in it for the money. Rmuor has it that he will be in a UFC fight, I believe 77 or 78.


I think we're getting great odds on the Rampage Hendo fight. The fact that Hendo ko'd Silva has this line where it is. IMO Silva was still suffering from the Crocop beating. We all know that when a fighter gets beat badly they sometimes don't come back and when they do they're not the same. And Crocop hurt him badly in their fight. Dan can certainly win but I see the fight playing out just like the Rampage Linland fight. Boring and going to the cards.

Its funny that you say what you just did about Silva still suffering from the crocop beating. I was just thinking this same thing with Crocops match. No way i could lay that juice after he took that shot against Gonzaga. Who knows how his mindset is. That was a devastating knockout. He comes in there hesitant it might be the last time we see him.

 

[layinwood]

Sponge, I've been thinking long and hard about going against Crocop because of that. The only thing stopping me is that this will basically be a K1 fight for him. With no worry of getting taken down he shoudl do a lot better.

I'm ready to get this UFC over with so we can get to the next one. I'm going big on Shogun and I'm almost certain now that I'm going big on Sanchez vs Fitch. I think the fight has been set up perfect for us to get a very good dog line on Sanchez. More on the fight to come.

 

[punchmaster]

I'm not too big of a UFC bettor like I am into boxing, but I know a few folks who are all over hometown guy Bisping and that the UFC would love to see him win since he's their marketing ticket for the UFC in England... what do you guys think. I hear Hamill is a solid wrestler and that's about it...

 

[kickserv]

punch.....

as stated above I like Bisbing and Cro Crop in a parlay......


Bisbing will be fighting in front of his home crowd (again!) and I'd be shocked if he lost:SIB Yes, betting on big favs in the UFC is dangerous (lots of underdogs seem to payoff) but I don't see Cro Crop and Bisbing losing:SIB And it can be said that Bisbing "has never fought anybody good" (I agree by the way) but you can only fight who the UFC puts in front of ya:shrug: The next fight will be the true test for Bisbing, and maybe then he won't be fighting in front of his home crowd:com:

Bottom line is......Bisbing has a HUGE advantage fighting at home......although his opponent won't hear em....he is deaf :scared

 

[kickserv]

ok......I'm in with the parlay........odds will drop so better get it in now :SIB


May add more plays later:SIB

Hamil, unless he has improved has the worst standup skill i ever saw but has great wrestling skills. I think Bisping wins here but not worth betting.

 

[kickserv]

Just a reminder...the prelim fights begin early afternoon eastern time and the Bisping, Jackson, Cro Crop and Sakara fights will begin mid to late afternoon eastern time....make sure ya get your bets in on time :SIB

[layinwood]

Ok adding these and I'll see you guys sunday to talk about the fights.


Sakara +151 1unit
Hamill +226 .5 unit


I think the Sakara fight she be more like a pickem. I think he's the more skilled fighter and should be able to pull out a victory.

Hamill is well I don't know. I truely feel that he can dominate this fight in a very very boring way. If he can dominate Holman then I'm positive he can get Bisping to the ground and from there is should be a snore fest but a victory for Hamill. I don't see anyway Bisping can stop Hamill from taking him down. Of course a quick kick or punch could ko Hamill and that would definately stop the take down. :142smilie

Looks like money coming in on Hendo, I should have waited to make a play on him. I would add more but I have enough already.
