Three bets for me-

Hicks to beat Roller at -115. I expect Hicks to catch a wrestler like Roller in a guillotine and crank for all he's worth.

Paixao to beat Province at -165. Huge difference in class here.

Cardella to beat Ratcliffe at +285. I LUV this bet. I don't think people know just how good Cardello is on the ground, from his back.

Good luck people!!! :toast: :toast: :toast:

"the bunker"
thinking about doing a chase on torres...we have the height,reach,skill advantages here...

watched some bowles vids and he seems like he`s fairly strong,but he fights with his chin up and isn`t exactly technically sharp(a bit wild)......

i can see torres picking him apart...and btw,torres is the younger guy....

Apart from 5D, where do you guys find odds on WEC ?

I have 3 books and only 5Dimes has WEC odds so I don't know.

Plays:

Parlay:
Torres
Paixao
200 wins 217


Parlay:
Cardella
Hicks
Benavidez
Torres
50 wins 519


Straight play:
Cardella(+220) over Ratcliff for 50 wins 110


Added:
Straight play:
Javier Vazquez(-130) over LC Davis for 130 wins 100.
-- Javier should have no problem getting LC to the ground and controlling this match winning by a submission or just controlling the fight for a decision win. LC has never impressed me and this is a step up for him in skill level he has fought.

Between Nascar and WEC, I got a grand on the table today.:0corn

Better not be a bad day or I may kill myself. Did I mention the a/c is out at the house again so I will already be sweating. I hope these fights don't make it worse.

I'm not gonna bet it, but I agree with you kegray.
I think L.C. Davis is over-rated.

Love the parlays
Good luck

Deleted this post as it had wrong info and didn't want to mislead people.
Sorry, Weepaul corrected.

Hicks may be one of the worst fighters I have ever bet on as he enters this fight losing 7 straight.
Like Weepaul said though, he is much bigger than Roller and should have his way with him.
Only fear is Holler gets Hicks arm for a submission as Hicks has been submitted with ease at times.
May play Holler in a small parlay if Nascar goes well.
Kegray my Brother, you have the wrong Marcus Hicks.

The Hicks I am betting on only has 2 losses and has never been subbed :D :toast:

Well thank god. I figured it was the black Marcus Hicks that has 3 or 4 fights in WEC. That is who I thought it was when I bet him, but when I went to Sherdog to look at stats was redirected to the other Marcus Hicks and that worried me.
That Marcus Hicks is bigger and after your write up I was thinking that is who it was.
I was like man this guy normally fights at 205 and now he is 159.:142smilie

That is like the opposite of what happened to Kickserv after his tennis playing days.

I was glad I only had 50 on the parlay. Now I wish I had more.:mj07:

Crappy Sherdog.
Click on the name Marcus Hicks and see where it takes you:

After a crappy UFC 101 hoping to bounce back with this WEC

1 Unit on JV. Think is he on a different level to Davis. Also got 1 unit on Hicks. Agree with weepaul on this one. Also got 1 unit on Torres/Benavidez.

Sorry mate, you got Fucked :(


Round 1
They touch gloves. Davis fires two right jabs but they miss. Davis misses a left hook and then a loopy right hand. Vazquez fires a punch but Davis ducks under and tries a heel hook, and Vazquez flips him over. After a slight scramble, Vazquez reverses and quickly tries a heel hook but misses. They scramble and are back up to their feet. Vazquez fires two loopy overhand rights that graze Davis. Vazquez shoots in but Davis sprawls. From there, "Showtime" pulls guard. Davis scoots Vazquez up against the fence. After about thirty second, Davis is able to stand back up. They circle in center cage. From his southpaw stance, Vazquez lands two decent right hands. Nice right, left from Davis, but Vazquez moves forward, unfazed. It?s turned into a kickboxing match. Vazquez lands a nice right cross on the inside. Davis is now cut under his right eye and Vazquez lands another right hand. Hard straight right by Vazquez backs up Davis. Another. Davis desperately tries a flying knee but misses wildly. Davis looks flustered. 10-9 Vazquez.

Round 2
They square off again. Vazquez lands a stiff-right hand. Davis misses a right and a left. Vazquez shoots in and scores a double leg. Davis scrambles back up. Vazquez just misses a big right hand. Davis clips Vazquez with a right. Vazquez shoots in again but Davis stuffs it, only to be pulled into guard. Before Vazquez can close his guard, Davis scramble back up. Davis switches to southpaw. Right leg kick by Davis. Davis lands a decent right hand. Davis is now breathing heavily. Davis misses a right head kick and Vazquez counters with a right cross. There is now a mouse under Vazquez' right eye, but he's in total control. Vazquez peppers Davis with two more right hands. Davis tries a flying knee from too far and misses. He tries a jump kick, too, but is way off target. Davis fires a right and a left, but misses and is countered by a hard right hook to the gut. Vazquez scores a takedown at the horn. 10-9 Vazquez.

Round 3
Vazquez comes out firing just as Davis is. Davis misses a right uppercut and is countered by a right cross. They clinch and Davis is pulled into Vazquez' guard again. Davis lands two hard right hands, but Vazquez scrambles away. During the scramble, Vazquez sucks him back into his guard. Davis lands two more right hammer strikes and backs out to let Vazquez up. Hard right leg kick by Davis. Davis fires a three-punch combo, but nothing lands. He tries it again and misses. Vazquez answers with a vicious left-leg kick. Davis again fires the three-punch combo and misses. Hard counter straight-left hand by Vazquez lands square on Davis' face, but he's not bothered. Vazquez shoots in for another takedown and is stuffed. The pace has slowed with 90 seconds left. Davis needs a stoppage of some sort to win. They clinch and Vazquez backs away and misses a wild spinning back fist. Davis counters with a flying knee to the chest that forces Vazquez into the cage. They circle out. With 8 seconds left, Davis desperately tries a flying knee. Another. The horn sounds to end the fight. 10-9 Vazquez.

The official scores: 30-27 Davis, 29-28 Vazquez, 29-28 Davis. L.C. Davis takes the split decision. The media section at the Hard Rock is baffled by the scores, as is the crowd. Some of the fans are jeering the scores; and as Vazquez walks to his locker room in disbelief, fans are telling him that he won.
