^^ If nothing else, I think you will get an arb opp out of it.

Like we've talked about before, arbs aren't worth it at my stakes. I'll see this one through to the end.

What's everyone think of Etim at +140 against Lauzon?

J-Lo really looked like he had lost a step in his last fight. Will the trend persist?

[Ludo]

I don't know if Etim can put him away. Lauzon is a wierd bet at this stage especially since we don't know if anything new has happened with him abandoning his brother like he did. Mentally he may not be quite right and for that reason I'm staying away from the fight.

Lauzon was coming off a lay off when he fought Stout. Etim is easier to take down. Lauzon should win, but not sure if I will bet it.

BJ Penn is training with Robson Moura.

Moura was the ref of one of my BJJ tournaments, and he put the tournament on as well.

Robson is fn' awesome. I have his Fusion DVD's... he does some really innovative stuff. He is one the best minds in BBJ IMO. That is a good sign for BJ. It means he is planning on working off his back, because that is where Robson specializes. He is really good with the sweeps and a pioneer in the "93 guard" position, which I think is a great guard for mma use.

Yeah, he is a cool guy. I am planning to start training BJJ again as soon as I can get my work schedule to not conflict with the gym schedule anymore, and Moura seems to have lots of seminars in the Tampa area that I would like to attend.

I see Harris is stepping in to fight Sakara at UFC 118. That's a good fight. I'd love to get Harris as a dog.

Try -325.

a dog?


lol Harris is -325 SPX

[SPX]

Goddamn it! I didn't realize the line was out already.

Sakara's getting no respect, which is strange, because he's kind of on a roll and is a much bigger name than Harris.

I expect that line to shift.

Stout was a tough matchup for him, just because of his sprawl and good hands. Etim has better striking that J-Lau, but he won't be able to stuff his takedowns. J-Lau should be a step ahead of him on the mat. I think the Etim hype train officially ends here. I will be on Lauzon at -150 or better.

Edit- i somehow missed that this line was already out... it is at -145. So true to my word, 3u on Lauzon @ -145

Didn't it end when he got armbarred by Dos Anjos?

[SPX]

I see the Salter line has shifted significantly. . .

^^ I think we all knew that would happen. He is @ -115 now... so if you weren't so poor you would have an arb opp.

Thanks for calling attention to my poverty.

^^ Do you have a day job or just freelance?

^^ Do you have a day job or just freelance?

I work part-time (3 days a week) for a company called Unisys. We do tech support for different companies. So I sit in a cube all day and deal with people's problems. It sucks.

[MMA_scientist]

^ that does suck. Why don't you work more hours or get a better job? You have a degree in journalism right?

I'm WORKING on my degree in journalism. I'll have an associates in a year, and then two more after that I should have a bachelors. And that's exactly why I am only working part-time, so that I can go to school. Also, now that I'm writing for UMMA, I need those days to do interviews and conduct all that business.

Personally, I wish I could just write for a living. But that's hard to do. I would need to be writing regularly not just for UMMA, but probably another 5 mags as well.
