    Re: Bellator 18 4/13

    If you watch his fights and his schedule he is wildly inconsistent. He could be in the UFC breaking heads but instead he's fighting in the minors because of his personal shit and perpetual injuries. He's been forced out of more bouts due to injury and other shit than anyone I've ever seen. The injuries have provided for less than compelling fights because he's gunshy. Had he won the pride grand prix, and not been forced to withdraw from some 4-5 fights. He also withdrew initially from the rematch with Chael Sonnen to check into Rehab for substance abuse. Then he missed weight for said rematch later that year. After he beat Manhoef in Dream he was supposed to fight at Dream 12 but never showed up. He was supposed to fight in Bitetti Combat not even two and a half months ago but failed to show up due to "personal problems". The fights he actually entered aren't bad, but he's been held back by alot of shit outside the cage and that was my point.

    Well thanks for the explanation. You obviously know more about the situation than I do. Considering I already have .5u on him I hope the right Filho shows up for this fight coming up.

    He could conceivably win, Lombard being a Judoka as well. I don't know much about Lombard so I don't know if Filho has an edge on the ground, but I'd say Filho at least has a shot to win here.

    I don't know a great deal about Filho. In fact, I think the only fight of his that I've seen in its entirety is the Sonnen rematch where he stops to chat with invisible motherfuckers and shit. But I know some consider him to be one of the very best middleweights in the world and a 19-1 record seems to back that up.

    I guess Filho is out, Jay Silva is in. Sucks, I put 0.25u on Filho @ +355 earlier.

    yeah I had a bet on him too.

    But Lombard could be a decent bet against Silva.


    Also Reis is all the way down to -152 now. I really wish I hadn't missed the boat on him as a dog.

    Re: Bellator 18 4/13

    Do you think he is worth a bet in the -150 range?

    Who Reis? I don't know, I think that is about right. He should win, but he can really only win by decision here. His standup is terrible but he has very good takedowns and top control. I am hoping he gets steeper closer to fight time and then I can get on PItbull as a dog. If not, I will probably break down and jump on Reis @ -150

    Re: Bellator 18 4/13

    Yup, looks like Filho is out.

    An upset Paulo Filho confirmed the news that reached the GRACIEMAG.com newsroom. He will no longer fight at the May 13 Bellator show, where he would have faced Hector Lombard. According to the fighter, the bureaucracy involved in getting his visa was what held him back.

    “It seems the event took too long in sending out the letter I needed to present at the consulate and I’m not sure but it could be there was some kind of failure on the part of my managers. So, I won’t get my visa in time. I’m really upset because I’ve been training a lot. I did everything just right; I don’t know what to say,” he says.

    “It got me down, but I’m not going to stop training. Something good will turn up,” he says in finishing.

    Re: Bellator 18 4/13

    Not sure I believe you can pin this all on Bellator... This isn't the first time they've had a Brazilian scheduled to compete is it? I would assume they know the deal seeing as they deal with alot of fighters from outside of the US. I would assume this is more the fault of the managers like he halfway suggested in the second half of the quote. Obviously someone somewhere in this mix lost the document or something and in turn it's all fucked up.

    I will be putting 0.25u on Silva when he opens at 5dimes. I need to bet on the dog on one of these crazy lines.

    Re: Bellator 18 4/13

    Yeah, Silva has a chance. That line is just wrong. Silva can survive on the ground, though he will probably be on bottom. He can bang too. Lombard is not that great, IMO. I am going to drop a small play on Silva.

    Damn the money came in on Georgi. I should have grabbed him at +270 but I actually thought his line would get better.
