Christian Morecraft beat Matt Mitrione $3.20 (+220) *1 Joe Rogan

so far i have:

- kongo pending as the kicker in a large par with florian.....
-marquardt at +100(apparently caught him just at the right time...he`s -150 as we speak)...

-small on morecraft at +210...balls to the wall,i honestly think mitrione wins here...but it`s a tough,close call.... i didn`t expect morecraft to be a better than 2-1 dog.....so they suckered me in...i should be using mitrione in a parlay...



-small play on roberts +110
-parlay griffin/lauzon-warburton under 2.5..at a little better than even odds

-parlay...griffin/story/kongo laying 1 to win 1.5.....i hope griffin gets his shit together...

-parlay..oliveira/bader at roughly even money....bader really doesn`t add a ton,but i just don`t see any way that ortiz beats him....

I'm SHOCKED Nate can make this move. It would be one thing if he would have been a small MW but he wasn't and he didn't have any fat on top of that. I guess his only choice is to shed mass but that takes time. I'm anxious to see how flat he looks at weigh ins and then how full they can get his muscles in 24hrs. Typically you can do this by taking in no carbs and then when it's time eating a lot of carbs.

IF he can make the cut without any problems he could be a beast but will it really matter? Will he be willing to fight GSP when the time comes?

 

[THE_THONG]

odds flipped on marquardt-story

story was +135

now favored at -140

i will have upside bet here, but i dont want to eat too much chalk

:lol:

 

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

Story doesn't stand a chance. I think Marquardt wins in highlight fashion. I do think this fight as potential for FOTN.

 

[muhr]

got a small one on kongo -170

as thong pointed out they're both dumb.

they'll probably cancel each others stupidity out and kongo's superior mma abilities should take home the win.

 

[THE_THONG]

i think kongo is less scared to win than pat barry

seriously pat barry was scared to WIN versus cro-crap

UFC on Versus 4: Fight Between T.J. Grant, Charlie Brenneman Called Off

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/6/2...etween-t-j-grant-charlie-brenneman-called-off

That sucks.......no Canucks on the card now

 

[kickserv]

BUCSnotYUCKS...since Story "doesn't stand a chance" I assume you will be betting huge on the underdog Nate Marquardt. He is currently +110.

 

[THE_THONG]

since no canucks fighting, please adopt pat barry as your native son

:SIB

 

[kickserv]

Nope......Barry doesn't cut it. Strict requirements to meet Canuck citizenship.:SIB

 

[gardenweasel]

that win over alves sure did change the odds on this one.....even considering the potential weight cutting issues,would think that marrquardt would be a comfortable fave here(pre alves)....

but,the fight happened and everyone`s on board now...interesting fight for several reasons...

actually,it`s a pretty good spike card,imo...

 

[kickserv]

The fight is on Versus and Rogers Sportsnet GW........NOT SPIKE

 

[THE_THONG]

[BUCSnotYUCKS]

I just think Style wise, Marquardt matches up great with Story. The only concerns will be weight cutting and the gas tank.

 

[layinwood]

Wow, I just read the story on Sherdog about Nate and not needing to cut for this. I just always assumed he was a big guy, I never thought about him having to stuff his face to keep that weight on. If that's true I think we're going to see a really good Nate. He should be a lot quicker and more explosive. I'm really anxious to see him fight. If he looks good at weigh ins then I'm probably going to hammer a bet down on him.
