WOW! how can someone question Condit as being not a real fighter.

WOW! how can someone question Condit as being not a real fighter.

I'm sure he's just trying to start shit. He probably thinks Condit would be a relatively easy win against someone who's quickly becoming a real contender and wants to get some hype going.

Okay, just did some quick research and apparently this is what really happened. Roy Nelson questioned Condit via Twitter for turning down the fight with Fitch and Rumble responded by saying, "I agree wit u big man. No point of saying ur a fighter if ur gonna turn down a challenge."

So I guess that's a little different than I was thinking.

They're giving Torres some gimmes before they risk letting him lose to another top fighter. I bet they're trying to put this shit together chess match style to where Faber wins the title and then we finally get Faber v Torres . . . and all under the banner of the UFC, no less.

^^ no doubt, the UFC would love Torres/Faber. Banuelos is not an easy fight though, IMO.

Yep.

I don't see it working out though.

Banuelos is fine, but so is Valencia, and Torres just embarassed him. I've always thought Torres has been a little overrated and that he benefited from a division full of so-so competition, and I'm not sure that he'll ever be champ again, but I also don't think he'll lose to anyone who is either not a champ or a top contender, either.

And Banuelos is not champ material, I don't think.

[SPX]

Yep.

I don't see it working out though.

Faber's beat Cruz once already (fairly effortlessly, too) and I think he can do it again. So if Faber beats Cruz and Torres beats Banuelos, they could just say fuck it, and BAM! Faber v Torres.

Cruz also has to beat Jorgenson in the meantime, and Faber has to beat Mizugaki as well. Of course it could line up, but the odds aren't particularly great imo. When you try and plan your big events out based on who you want to win it never seems to work. Look at Strikeforce for all the examples needed.

[SPX]

I feel very confident that Faber will beat Mizugaki. Cruz/Jorgensen is more debatable, but I would still favor Cruz.

Saw that Silva / Belfort at -240 on Betus. 7.5U on Silva. I think it's a steal at these odds.

Belfort hasn't fought in ages, and it's Anderson Silva fighting where he does best.

I think Belfort dies also

Welcome, 'bout time you stopped by. Glad to have your input.

Guys, Dr. Ngo has a nifty spreadsheet where he posts his plays... basically what I tried to do before Zak started the tracker.

I disagree though. I think Belfort is live, by far the best striker AS has faced.

^^ is that one of your guys?

And I agree that Vitor will be dangerous...for the first round.

[edman5555]

It will be almost 18 months since Vitors last fight when they meet. I don't know what will happen but after watching Chael drop Silva I think Vitor has a shot.

wouldnt say one of my guys. He occasionally posts on my blog... I posted his spreadsheet here a few months ago

[MMA_scientist]

He is one of the last holdouts though... i only keep it open to get boxing plays from a guy who never comes here.

Any boxing plays for the remainder of the year bro? Some solid fights over the last 6 weeks of the year.

[edman5555]

What is the name of your blog and where can I read this guys spreadsheet?
