UFC 85: London 02 Arena, 6/7/08

[kegray1]

Cane wins in 1 round.

Told you guys he was good.

Nice call.
Gets me to +90 now.
Just what I thought as well, Lambert just can't handle big punchers.

 

[kegray1]

Burns submits Carneiro in a huge upset.
Damn I sat that one out not knowing enough of Burns.
I think he was around +350.

who was carneiro`s original opponent?...chonan?...

 

[kegray1]

yea. I guess that didn't help.
Burns seems to be way more technical as Ryo looks for the KO.

 

[weepaul]

I can't believe that tool Wiman beat Tavares.

 

[kegray1]

Upsets left and right on this card. Except for Eddie.Thanks Sanchez.

 

[kegray1]

I have a small play on Rivera at +200 for 25 so I expect the dogs to stop here.

Kampmann wins by sub in the first.

 

[kegray1]

Like I said.Upsets end here Rivera gets choked out.
+65 on the day now.

No more fights until PPV starts now.30+ minute wait until Vera v Werdum.

 

[weepaul]

I have won on Kampmann, Taylor and Cane.

I am still down money due to having Tavares in a shit load of parlay's.

 

[The Sponge]

For what its worth im going with Davis for a decent size bet. Don't think Swick has the power to knock him out an Davis has the power. Honarable mention Hughes, Bisping. Might bet Hughes but no way i risk over three to one on Bisping.

 

[gardenweasel]

love me some kampmann..big win....pretty easy win,apparently...

love this guy`s coolness under fire....

Werdum vs. Vera

Round 1
Vera starts with a snapping low kick before going to the clinch against the fencing. Werdum lands a right hand as the fighters get off the cage and move to the center of the Octagon. Werdum scores a takedown into his opponent's half-guard. Vera kicks Werdum off and gets to his feet. Vera lands a right hand that stuns Werdum. The Brazilian trips Vera to the canvas and takes the mount. Werdum strikes and Vera covers. Vera does nothing but cover up and referee Dan Miragliotta steps in to stop the bout at the 4:40 mark of the first. The stoppage was very questionable.

If that were Kimbo on the bottom taking those shots, Dan would have let it go. That said, it looked like Vera was going to lose anyway.

 

[joz]

That Dan Mirglalglalta**** is such a bad ref. Horrible stoppage on Vera, not ot mention there was about 8 seconds left in the round. Since when is punching someones arms grounds for stoppage? Kimbo took about 2 minutes of non stop elbows and he didn't stop it :mj07: :mj07:

Then Herb Dean deducts a point from Marquart for an elbow to the side of the head :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

 

[gardenweasel]

i had marquardt and i honestly think he could have been dq`ed for that knee....

that said,herb dean needs to realize that these are 3 round fights and you can`t deduct points like they`re candy....

the knee,yes...the elbow....way wrong...he threw 2 elbows and dean held his pecker...then on the 3rd one,dean opens his mouth and right away takes a point....

i think you use your head there and realize you`re changing the outcome of the fight....

but,maybe that knee turned the fight because leites wasn`t the same afterward...

:shrug:

 

[muhr]

I'm surprised Herb didn't deduct another point for Nate spiking Thales on his head. That was much more flagrant than the elbows.

 

[gardenweasel]

they take this away from swick,i`m goin` gunning for dana white.......


f-ck those bogus point deductions....i`m gettin` sick of this shit...

 

[joz]

Big John needs to come out of retirement!!, Dan and Herb are :em38: :em38: Herb involves himself wayyyyyyyyyy to much in fights.

 

[muhr]

Vera over Werdum large -160

Davis over Swick med +105

Liaudin over Taylor med +206

I found this UFC fairly difficult to make picks for.

Too bad I didn't find it even more difficult, I wouldn't have bothered to make any bets.
