UFC 87: Seek and Destroy - Aug 9th, Minneapolis, MN

[nj]

for those of you anxiously awaiting my prophetic picks, i now unleash them:


gsp over fitch (68% of roll) - i dont know who fitch is, so gsp should win

herring over lesnar (42% of roll) - lesnar's a jerk i remember him from wwf. i hope he loses.

huerta over floorman (25% of roll) - huertas got those bad-ass mexican flag shorts, i dont think hes ever lost in them. i emailed him asking if i icould have his shorts if he wins, im confident hell reply yes.


i havent been keeping track of my record, but its pretty good i think.


ps i think the rules should be changed for me, i should be banned from mma threads for posting on topic, to the detriment of the board.

 

[kickserv]

night janitor........love the "Huerta shorts" angle, never thought of that. That could be the difference maker....good info....very good:s6:

GSP over Fitch.........GSP shorts way too tight so I don't think you want those.

As for Lesner.......not sure if you are aware, but if the fight does go into the 3rd round Lesner is allowed to bring in a steel chair. Also, starting in the 3rd round, George The Animal Steal and Brutus Beefcake will be tag team partners for Lesner. So you better hope Herring wins in round 1 or 2.

I am liking my underdog Macdonald pick :00hour

"One more thing: I'm feeling a little bit pissed off, for a lack of a better word, that people are considering me an underdog for this fight against Demian Maia. He only has seven fights and hasn't really beaten any guys other than Ed Herman, a guy I've beaten myself. And people are saying he's the favourite. I find that a bit disrespectful to me. I've faced some of the toughest guys in the business, and the only guys I've lost to are Rich Franklin and Yushin Okami."

:mj07: nice.

 

[layinwood]

It's insane that Lesnar is as big of a fav as he is. Herring has been in some wars and never looks too bad except for his fight vs Obrien. Problem is I think Lesnar will be able to take Herring down at will. I wish we knew if Lesnar could take a punch, he may have to eat a few before he gets the takedowns.

I think the Huerta Florian fight is the hardest fight I've ever seen to call. I'm leaning Florians way, I like Huerta but I can't get it ouf of my head that he was getting beat easily by Guida.

I think I'm going to save my recent winnings and put it all on Liddell vs Evans. I'm 100% positive it will be my biggest bet ever.

 

[Ghost Kid]

you like lidell layinwood? you sound confident on that one.

evans is ok, NO?

 

[kickserv]

layin as I said earlier...the odds on Brock are nuts....but they have improved compared to last week. In last couple days more and more people are taking the underdog odds on Herring.

Also.....layin and Ghost Kid are banned 9 minutes for off topic post:142smilie


And fine fine...I'll ban myself 9 minutes for responding to off topic post:

I am assuming layin will be "layin the wood" on Chuck at $1.38 (-265), but if we are talking about big bets on upcoming fights I am all over Rich Franklin at $1.47 (-215).

Ok I will extend my ban to 11 minutes for adding to the off topic post:mj07:

Well I "jumped on the bandwagon" and went with McCrory, I just didn't want to feel left out! And good to see I got on MacDonald two weeks ago, his odds have changed big time. Smart early gamblers like me know who is going to win:bump: Although there are others on here that think Jason has no chance.......well they are wrong...dummies:142slap: ...and you know who you are. And even though odds have gone down big time, Jason is still a great underdog bet.


And this just in............GSP will win:11jackson

I can't believe I am letting Kickserv and Macdonald talk me into playing that bum.

Well I was talked into Tamdan McCrory.....I don't mind buckling to the peer pressure:jump:

And come on....the odds on Jason are damn good.....and he's better then Kimbo:142lmao:

i wonder if having a memory disorder can affect the odds?....

cause it sounds like macdonald`s been hit in the gourd one to many times...

he`s seems to have forgotten his losses to cote,starnes,shonie carter,marvin eastman,jason brilz,matt horwich and bill mahood....

the devil`s in the details,i guess...

 

[kegray1]

And come on....the odds on Jason are damn good.....and he's better then Kimbo:142lmao:

Odds are good. What I am afraid of is that he is not.

Also liked when Rogan said "battle of the nerds" for the Cummo/McCrory fight:142smilie

 

[muhr]

Shit threw me to Kick.:142smilie Might have to edge you in front of Muhr now.

i didn't know you were keeping score, sponge.

florian over huerta -141 to win 100

emerson over manny +276 to win 55

thinking about tamden over luke and jones over gusmao.

i`m swimming or sinking on florian.....and that`s a tough one to sink or swim on...

i was looking at "the barncat"....lol...o.k....i took a small chance at +120....but,i can see cummo out-toughing and out-lasting the beanpole...

as i said before,i have a small play on fitch,too....

and i broke down and put gamburyan in a parlay...even though i have alot of respect for emerson...i may hedge this one...emerson`s no stiff...and those odds are a tad off,imo...

I will be sinking with you Brother as I have a HUGE wager on Florian. I just think he does everything a little bit better than Huerta.

Big On Herring. He is tough and nobody kinows how Brock will look if he is forced to go a few rounds.

Maia/Gusmao big parlay. No matter what Kick say's, the red headed step child is NOT beating Maia.

Good luck all.

 

[weepaul]

I have enjoyed the comments on GSP/Fitch.

My 2 cents is that this is a very dangerous fight for GSP.
Fitch is the type of guy who mugs you and he seems to be impossible to submit.

I hope GSP wins but I will never forget him trying to tap as Serra was unloading on him.
Fitch also has some give in him as proven by the Joslin rip off.
Fitch is also just as big as GSP.

I hope GSP wins but I will not bet this fight.

"No matter what Kick say's, the red headed step child is NOT beating Maia"

Oh baby are you going to get razzed when the red-head underdog wins....I'm going to be all over ya like kickserv on a naked Jennifer Aniston:142smilie

bye bye Maia:mj18:
