    all those underdogs look really good. My first instinct was Akiyama over silva, Carwin over Lesnar and grove over Reljic. I also think that tuchsherer and Bonnar have really good shots at winning.

    Bonnar was getting his ass handed to him before the cut happened. He won't get that far into the fight this time around I don't think. Akiyama really has a good shot to win this. His skillset is exactly the kind of skillset one might need to beat Wanderlei. A great chin, good footwork, excellent judo. That said I think Wanderlei wins this fight because he just seems to have the answer for japanese(or in this case korean) fighters. I am considering taking Grove over Reljic, I think ring rust will continue to be a factor here for Reljic , not to mention it's hard to train for Grove because of his length.

    I liek Reljic at those odds. 2u on Reljic @ -140. I don't see an out for Grove. He is going to get lit up standing and if he takes it to the ground, he wont be able to finish.

    I think Soszynski is a good bet. I like to bet fights I've already seen, and it's hard to go wrong betting against Stephan Bonnar.

    I don't suppose anyone has a link to a video of the Hague / Tuscherer fight? I never saw it and I can't find it anywhere.

    I sawi t at some point, but can't find it now. Hague won. The judges screwed him. But it was a sloppy gas fest. Very similar to the Conrad fight last night. Some takedowns by Tuch before the gas went. Then a lot of one punch combos.

    Nah, that's OK. Thanks for checking, guys.

    I like to bet wrestlers, and Tuscherer has a good record. I just... haven't actually seen him look good.

    I was going to put a small bet on Tushcerherererererererererer over Schaub because of the whole wrestling thing, but fuck that. I just watched the Hague fight for the first time and TUshererererer is horrible. Even if he can take Schaub down and control him he will gas out anyways. Schaub is athletic enough to stay competitive and outwork him. Tucsherererer's striking sucks too. Even in the first round before gassing he seemed to have the technique of Marius Pudzianowski. If Schaub gets down to -325 or better I will take him.

    Hmm. . .

    This one comes down to whose wrestling is better. I'd say Pelegrino has what it takes to win this one but at decent underdog odds George is not a bad bet at all. He owned Joe Stevenson in a big way.

    So you think George wins this fight ~72% of the time?

    I still don't buy Sotoripoulos. I think Stevenson just didn't show up. I am not betting it, but if I were, I would be on Pelligrino. Actually, I will probably be on Pelligrino @ +150

    Yes, I do. He wins on the feet and the ground. If he is on top, Batman is in trouble. Off his back, George can tie him up with rubber guard. Pelligrinos only way I see to win is a top control decision, maybe he will catch George in something but unlikely. Sotiropoulos will sub him in the 2nd round I think, RNC.
    However, I dont think he will be -250, probably -140 or so.
    Damn, I always get called crazy for my picks on these forums.

    He's going to OUTSTRIKE Pellegrino? That I highly doubt. If it stays on the feet, Kurt wins by decision, I believe. His striking has improved quite a bit in the past several fights, which is to be expected as he's training with Kenflo.

    George does not have impressive striking. He has impressive grappling.

    Ok, maybe the striking will be close, but Sotiropoulos did outstrike Stevenson.

    Schaub is @-320. I think he is going to win easily.
