Kick is that mayhem Miller?

 

[kickserv]

answer....no, not Mayham

answer....no, not Mayham

I thought i heard somewhere that he signed with the ufc :shrug:

The line on Leben dropped too far, IMO.

Putting .6 Ginas on him at +190. I dont think the line will stay like this for long. He looks to be in incredible shape and is taking the fight very seriously due to its title implications.

I dont think Leben will come close to knocking out Bisping, but i do think it's likely that his aggression earns him a decision victory.

McCarthy and Day fed right into Bisping's style IMO... they both looked timid and accepted the pressure put onto them by Bisping. Leben doesnt back down to anybody, and he certainly wont start against Michael Bisping.

With that said, i do think Bisping deserves to be the fav..... he is not easy to hit, but i think the books are overreacting based on his dominating performances against McCarthy and Day. McCarthy went onto retire from the sport the day after he got swept by Bisping b/c he had "already accomplished what he wanted in the sport of MMA" and Day couldnt have beaten Kimbo the night he fought Bisping.

Michael Bisping

odds = $3.72 *2 Joe Rogans


As stated earlier I think Bisping is going to destroy Leben, fight isn't even going to be close in my opinion. Also, Jardine....ruff ruff:mj23:



Also looking forward to the Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain fight

Well........I think odds will get worse on Jardine, so going to get this parlay in now:SIB

According to my calculations and bestfightodds.com......... odds will only get better on Jardine :shrug:

 

[muhr]

interested to see what cane's odds are vs. soko. i think he gets a ko win.

 

[The Sponge]

im not a fan of Lebens and i can't see how he could win. If Rashard couldn't catch Bisping how is this bar room brawler gonna do it?

he looked like a new guy against Sakara who is a better boxer than Bisping IMO.

Leben, like Bisping, wins fights. his aggression will win him rounds in the judges eyes IMO....... also, Leben has knocked out twice as many people as Rashad. wont be a KO either way i dont think (both have great chins), but as a dog i like Leben to lay on the pressure and hopefully win a couple rounds.

Isn't this in England? :nono:

 

[rawli007]

Isn't this in England? :nono:

So he beat squeaked by Sinosic and beat Day in England, big whoop.

Everybody and their mom knows Matt Hammill beat Bisping in England. :142smilie

what im trying to say is that Bisping....well......hasnt beaten anyone that matters. :shrug:

I'll give him Eric Schafer, but thats it. :SIB Remember, he did lose to Rashad.

Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben
Keith Jardine vs. Brandon Vera
Luiz Cane vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
Chris Lytle vs. Paul Taylor

Marcus Davis vs. Paul Kelly
Akihiro Gono vs. Dan Hardy
David Bielkheden vs. Jess Liaudin
Terry Etim vs. Sam Stout
David Baron vs. Jim Miller
Per Eklund vs. Sammy Schiavo

Some very big fights for some fighters. Marcus Davis needs to rebound. Also, I hope by boy Brandon Vera can comeback and dismantle Jardine...I think Vera absolutely picks him apart. That Cane vs Sokoudjou is going to be a war. Shane Carwin is the sleeper just waiting to explode. I think he walks through Neil Wain.

In this card, I like Sam Stout, Akihiro Gono, Marcus Davis, Shane Carwin, Sokoudjou, Vera, and I can ONLY PRAY that Leben knocks out Bisping. If this fight goes to the judges, you might as well just give the fight to Bisping.

interested to see what cane's odds are vs. soko. i think he gets a ko win.

looks like i'm not the only one on cane. he went from a small dog to a small favorite in no time.

+120 to -120 at bof

 

[kickserv]

Well I got Cane as a tiny doggy, now he's a tiny fav....guess I am with the board...Go Cane:SIB


And ummm....think a few oddsmakers are on crack, I mean Carwin should be a fav, but that big...what the fu**:scared


Also...should Lytle be that big a fav:shrug:

And I'll say this for the 8th time......Leben will get killed, yes he most likely won't get knocked out, but Bisping will toy with Leben for three rounds. I don't see how Leben can win this fight. As for the Jardine fight, how anyone could bet on Vera at those odds is beyond me. Ya either play Jardine or no play. Major "live dog" alert on Jardine. Those odds on Jardine are sweeter then 4 naked octagon girls in a barrel of sugar

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I don't see how Bisping plans on toying with Leben for 3 rounds. Personally, I think Leben has a good chance to knock the fag out.

 

[layinwood]

I like Cane a lot, I see him getting the fight to the ground fairly easily and from there dominating.

On a side note.....


Keg, I'm still down here in Houston helping out(should be gone by Monday) but I'll be watching the fights at the Hooters off of 45 and NASA. Let me know if you're close and can come by.

I am less than 10 minutes from that Hooters, I would love to join but I am being forced to go to a wedding that night. Sometimes being married sucks.

That Hooters is ALWAYS packed, but aren't they all. Also, I bet anything about 90% of the tv's in their have the Texas/Mizzou game on instead which starts at 7.

Which brings me to another point, WHY is this not on PPV in the daytime and on Spike for free at night???

Maybe it will air in England live and someone on jtv will share it.
