Great job man

Dana White said at the press confernce Edgars first fight will probably be against Gray Maynard .Lol I knew they wouldnt give Penn a rematch right off the bat

50-42 ??? Please tell me you're kidding or 50-40
Name even ONE round you'd score 10-8 Andy
Disappointing card.
Fortunately the arb was awesome.
I had a good day: Small loss on the Maia dog bet, wins on Hughes and Dos Anjos. I was this close to betting on Grove, but fortunately chickened out at the late minute.
Congrats to Thewiseman, but I really think Penn won that fight, and 50-45 for Edgar might be the single worst scoring I've ever seen. I'll be interested to see what Fightmetric does with it.
Anderson really sent a message with his performance today, and that message was, "Stop sending me jiu-jitsu guys!" But seeing how Dana's not one to back down from a challenge, I'm guessing Silva's next fight is against Rousimar Palhares in a special 10' diameter octagon, with Kevin Mulhall as the ref.
My bet on Hughes might well have been on the wrong side of the line. I thought he hadn't lost much, but he didn't look that great out there to me. I even had Gracie taking that first round.

How about the first one... Or maybe the second one where he basicly sat there for 45 seconds screaming at Maia to come and hit him and Maia still backed off. In the beginning Maia was scared shitless to go near anderson. It wasn't until he knew he had no chance but a lucky punch that he decided to go and actually push the pace and do anything.

I had Gracie winning round one as well, simply because he kept snapping that jab between Hughes' hands. But I think the first round was all about feeling each other out.
On a side note BJ Penn's loss set Me back 6.7 units.

Just watched replay of Penn-Edgar and can say a decision for either fighter was possible in that fight.I had rounds 1&3 too close to call ,round 2 for Penn and 4&5 for Edgar but almost every round could have went either way

Thanks guys. I think the fight was 48-47, you could make a case for 49-46, I have to watch it again. either way, 50-45 was retarded.
It only makes sense for Maynard to get the shot now, him being Edgars only loss and is on a nice win streak. Give Penn Gomi then a shot at the title.
Penn would Murder Gomi. We were talking about how there was nothing Gomi did better than Kenny, there's nothing Kenny does better than BJ. Something didn't seem right today with Penn. His gameplan was all wrong, he should have tried to clinch or something and get Edgar in a position that he couldn't move all over the place.

Sorry, no points for 'sitting there' or for 'screaming', he did however almost get penalized in round 5 for stalling and for his Kalib Starnes imitation.
By your logic, the second half of the fight was all Maia as Anderson refused to engage. He has done that in 3 of his last four fights.
I think an immediate rematch is in order. The fight was easily as close as Shogun/Machida.
Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit

Veach screwed me. But its just a scratch.
Silva was pissed because Maia wouldn't bull rush him. Silva wasn't pushing forward even in round one or 2. His taunting was just a lame attempt to get Maia to play bull to his bullfighter. Silva is a counterpuncher. He was afraind to come forward because he did not want to get taken down. Even bigger fan of Maia after that. I think he took round 4 and definately took round 5. Everyone is talking dominance, but no one is mentioning that Maia took a round off him, something that has been done only once in the UFC. And he did it on his feet. GSP will beat Silva.
I gave rounds 1&2 to Penn, 4&5 to Edgar. 3 could have went either way. Definitely not a robbery, though I probably would have given it to bj. But BJ fought with a terrible gameplan. Why didn't he test teh waters on the ground? He is world champion blackeblt fighting a purple belt. Silly.
Speaking of horrible... that card. Worst fights ever. Ultimate ammy kickboxing at its worst.

I can't bring myself to use that name, so I call him by his proper name, I think he said he had enough on BJ to win 5U, so about 30-35u.

It was a bad card

Brutal day for me on this event. The ultimate in dick-teasery, I was getting the play by play on sherdog via my phone, and they said they scored it 49-48 for BJ. I checked back 20 minutes later to check on Andy, and they said BJ lost. Talk about a kick in the nuts, I started calling people just to make sure it was true.
I watched the fight late last night, and I do think Edgar won 3-2, so I didnt have a problem with the decision. Something was up with BJ in that one, he didnt look right.
Props to wiseman, great call. And to zY, you had Edgar pegged for his boxing, and you were right on. I know you didnt pick him to win, but you were on point with his boxing, and I didnt give him credit for it at all.
Thriller was supposed to post my unit on Silva and Holyfield, but I havent gone through the thread to see if he posted it. I thought I posted Silva yesterday, but I didnt. I know I had him up the other day, but didnt put him in the plays I locked in.
Someone teach Renzo to switch stances or check a kick please.
As for Silva, I dont have a problem with him toying with his opponent. Its boring, but if Dana or any other fighter has a problem with it, go in there and take him out. Otherwise, this is what is going to happen. The guys that try to engage him get obliterated (Irvin, Forrest, Ace, Leben, etc) The guys that hang back, they get picked apart, and the fight is boring. Just my 2 cents.
All in all, I dropped 9.25 units on the event. I am going to start betting more fights now, as you guys reccomended I do. On to Strikeforce (go Hendo!)
On a side note, I look like a complete jackass, as half my face is sunburn, the only part that is not, is around my eyes, because of my sun glasses, and half my forehead, because I was wearing my hat backwards. Perfect day yesterday.
