-13.48 Joe Rogans:facepalm:

How can ya not take Oliveira at those odds:scared

 

[Ghost Kid]

The weird thing is Oliveira opened slight favorite, and money has poored in on Escudero. I don't get it.

I agree with you kick - I don't think either guy is a sure thing. Tough fight.

Escudero has advantage standing, but he get could tapped by this cat if he isn't careful.

 

[ukgaz]

Lot of hype behind Oliveira. Really like his submission of Elkins but Efrain has the better wins on his record. Plus being the wrestler he is hard to take down unless he initiates the takedown first.

I'm tempted to jump on the Oliveria train but going to hold off for this one and just watch this fight. The last "sure thing" to face Efrain was Philip Nover and we know how that turned out. I think Oliveria is better but I can't put money on this one

 

[ukgaz]

Plus this guy has 6 TKO wins and 6 Submission wins. He seem comfortable everywhere

 

[gardenweasel]

weigh in at 5 pm eastern....so far i caught tibau when it opened at +175(just couldn`t pass up those odds)....and a par with pearson and foster...

watching to see if escudero`s odds come down...i know oliveira is the next "big thing"....but if the odds continue to fall,i may have to use efrain in a par...

we`ll see...

Weigh-in Thoughts
Ross Pearson is a cocky bastard like the rest of the Brit's
Effrain was 159 and looked completely disgusted with himself for not making weight. Think this affects him and he doesnt fight to his potential. That fight is a coin flip.
Palhares is huge, I mean so much muscle he can't have good cardio, I like Nate the Great in this fight to grind him down then TKO by ground and pound. Of course he could get caught in a sub but that is the only way he loses.

Not many fights available at my book so probably no plays but would take Marquardt around 2 to 1

 

[kickserv]

Rafael weighs in at 186 after winning US Open, but Efrain misses weight by 100 pounds......pathetic:facepalm:

palhares and marquardt look like comic book superheros.....

i thought escudero`s 159 showed...he looked extremely soft....

is this guy`s career grinding to a halt?....he`s certainly not 170 material...

 

[Ghost Kid]

Whoa
what is up with Escudero
Paul Daley training him?

ALL BETS OFF for that fight - that is ridiculous

 

[Ghost Kid]

is there anywhere I can watch a replay of the weigh in?:shrug:

 

[gardenweasel]

oliveira and cole miller by submission props?....+475 and +405 respectively.....

don`t see either guy winning stand-up vs their opponent(escudero and stephens put miller`s lights out...he doesn`t fair all that well vs proficient stand-up fighters...which pearson is)...in truth,it would be a hedge in miller`s case...i don`t see him winning here...

and didn`t care for miller`s "in your face" schtick at the weigh-in...i hope the brit whacks him...

he needs to sub pearson to win,imo...

 

[Ghost Kid]

agreed GW
cole only wins by sub
and the last time he pulled that in your face shit at the weigh-in he got whacked by efrain

i hope that pearson rips him apart (and think he probably will)

:toast: ...hope he doesn`t think he has another junie browning walkover.....because he`d be sadly mistaken....

btw..check browning`s record...he hasn`t exactly been burning up the cage....lol

 

[gardenweasel]

just found out that dave branch is sechew powell`s brother....and has another boxer brother(jamelle hamilton)....

apparently this guy`s been around the game...and added a jits black belt along the way....

+145?....hmmmm?....have to try and watch some tape...drwal is no stiff...
