Lines don't matter when a :canada1 is on the card.....everybody wins when a canuck is on the card

Don't know much about this Lennox fella but this Story kid comes as advertised. A true horror story.

 

[SixFive]

dos Anjos shold be around even odds, and that will be a nice submission win for him.

odds have been released. Dos Anjos is -350.

I haven't seen this Jay Silva cat. But Leben was pathetic last time out. Just pathetic.

 

[kegray1]

dos Anjos shold be around even odds,

I guess you should be all over Bradley since you thought this was a even fight.
He is getting +275.

I am all over Diaz at +270. I know Maynard has improved since Diaz tapped him out but Diaz is alway's dangerous with his subs.

He could be losing 2 1/2 rounds and still pull out the win by pulling guard.

Good luck :toast:

I agree.
I got a few bets I like on this card, but Maynard isn't one of them. Maynard may win, but the odds are off.

 

[SixFive]

lol, nope, guess I was just totally wrong! dos Anjos is getting a lot more respect than I thought he would. I knew he was a great fighter when I saw him get robbed by the judges against Tyson Griffin in Nashville. Remember that wicked leg lock he put on Tyson? Anyway, he has nice stand-up, brutal bjj, terrific cardio, and a nice chin to boot. I guess I put too much into Bradley's last win and thought he would get better odds.

It seems like the oddsmaekers are really trying to get people to put money on Diaz.
I think they are going to get me to bite as well.

 

[gardenweasel]

i think maynard`s learned too much in the interim...he`s well rounded now....

i feel bad for diaz...nobody`s telling him that he`s too frail and skinny for some of these these upper echelon wrestling phenoms....

he`s a one-trick pony...everybody knows the deal...

i guess a sub is possible,but personally, i`ll be surprised if he taps maynard this time......shocked actually..

 

[rawli007]

Go ahead and put your constitutional rights on Gray Maynard winning the main event. The only way he loses this fight is if he knocks himself out like he did against Emerson :142smilie

Even if Nate manages to set up his favorite triangle, he'll get slammed Rampage/Arona style. Over.

 

[weepaul]

My bets are-

Diaz to beat Maynard at +270.
I know Maynard has improved since Diaz tapped him out but Diaz is alway's dangerous with his subs.
He could be losing 2 1/2 rounds and still pull out the win by pulling guard.

Blackburn to beat Amir at +135.
I think Amir has looked like dogshit since moving down to 170 and his weakness is going to cost him here.

Good luck!!! :toast:

 

[muhr]

lawlor once again paid tribute to ufc history at the weigh in.

last time it was the justbleed guy, but this time it was harold howard.

 

[muhr]

[kickserv]

Gotta love Lawlor....need more guys like him.....:00x13

[rawli007]

I don't think Nate's mean face is gonna work on Gray. :142smilie

All fighters make weight.

 

[Ghost Kid]

I will be shocked if Leben wins this
Give me Silva
