Strikeforce St. Louis Dec. 4th

[MMA_scientist]

I think Hackney is going to pull off the upset. He's obviously going to be coming into the bout much smaller than his opponent, but we all know that size isn't everything. I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and say that Hackney weather's an early storm, lands a few good punches, and then finishes it with a series of tiger strikes. Obviously I could be way off, but my guess is he gets it done, but takes enough damage in the fight that he is unable to advance to the next round.

For me, Hackney's good at +200 or better for a .5u play.

not sure what just happened here...

At first I thought you were just rambling on about some nonsense... but now I think you are making some kind of Keith Hackney White Tiger Karate reference?

That's correct.

I was just breaking down Keith Hackney/Emmanuel Yarbrough. Is that fight not on this card?

I would not be suprised to see Dan come in anywhere between -250 or even -110 or thereabouts. It is hard to say what the bookies will look at. Dan is 40 now and he is coming off a loss. Babalu is coming off a win against Robbie Lawler but he got ko'd by Mousasi. Before that he posted some wins. Any predictions on the lines? Anyone know what is being posted in EU?

[sbjj]

-110 would get me excited. -250 would force me to look elsewhere for a potential bet.

[MMA_scientist]

-225 to -250 is my guess. But I am horrible at guessing lines. If Dan came in @ -110 I would bet it.

[MMA_scientist]

That's correct.

Yeah, I think it is.

Pat Smith/Scott Morris is also on the undercard I think. Smith is a pretty good kickboxer, but Morris is an actual ninja, so...

I would say Morris is a good bet at any odds (only a ninja can kill another ninja).

I thought he was fighting that dude from Austin Powers? I think he wins via nut shots.

(only a ninja can kill another ninja)

That's 100% true. In this world of shifting realities and uncapturable truths, it's nice to know that some things are certain. If only we could get a ninja into the UFC then we could ride that gravy train on into infinity (or his retirement, whichever comes first).

"Only a ninja can kill a ninja." Damn right. One of many things I learned from this guy:

I heard that bout was on the same card, but in an alternate dimension. I'm not interested enough in that fight to figure out the complexities of dimension hopping. But I do agree about nut shots.

Anyone have a vault membership at ufc.com? I am wondering because I am thinking about getting it. I can't find videos for shit anymore. I just tried to look up Karo Vs Thiago Alves and I can't find it for the life of me. Is it any good, does anyone know of a list where I can see what is on it?

I had one once that I never used. Oddly enough, the UFC was giving them away for like 3 months if you bought some particular deodorant. zY hooked me up with the code.

All I can remember about it is that they don't have every fight. So even a lot of stuff that I was interested in wasn't in the vault. That's probably why I lost interest almost instantly.

BTW, speaking of Hackney, apparently he's got his own MMA school now:

^^^^^^BRB, learning roundhouse axe kick technique.

Im on Hendo at -200, maybe up to -250.

Dufee is over-managing his career. The guy has 1 win on the big stage. You are offered a fight with a borderline top 10 guy...

Bigfoot would have beat him easily IMO though, so probably a smart move.

No vacation time at Dairy Queen probably.

100% Agree.

[Luke]

Shitty high lines everywhere.

[MMA_scientist]

Hendo @ -315

again I am way off


Damn, I was hoping to get Bigfoot, but -420 is a little much.

I think Smith has value though, but not going to bet.

[Mr. IWS]

I might parlay Silva and Daley here.
