UFC 146

[SPX]

Couldn't find a 146 thread, so I'm guessing we don't have one.

So here:

'Mayhem' Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway added to UFC 146 in Las Vegas

[SPX]

Barboza/Dunham also on this card apparently.

So much for those Barboza/Alvarez rumors, I guess.

Yeah Eddie is finishing out his contract against Aoki at Bellator 66 I think it is.

Barboza/Dunham is awesome...that's co main event material right there. I slightly favor Dunham.

[SPX]

It should be a good fight.

Why do you favor Dunham? I was thinking the other way around.

[Ludo]

I favor Dunham because of the wrestling. Pearson was able to get inside and clinch quite often with Barboza, Dunham likes the clinch as well and thats where he does a good bit of damage.

[SPX]

Barboza's T3D seems really good, though. I'm wondering if Dunham can take him down and keep him down.

[poopoo333]

I agree with both of you. I SLIGHTLY favor Dunham due to the more than likely grappling/takedown/clinch advantage. However...Barboza seems good at T3D and seems to be able to get back to his feet very quickly. It's a real close fight and I really can't wait for it...wanted to see this for awhile

[SPX]

Indeed.

I'll probably just stay away from it betting wise unless one guy or the other becomes a decent sized dog, which I really doubt.

Same.

I think thee bee dollaway can beat Mayhem as well.

I wonder what the main event will be for this card? Mir/Cain possibly? Or is this the card Ubereem/Dos Santos is supposed to be on?

[SPX]

I think thee bee dollaway can beat Mayhem as well.

How do you break that down?

I'm finding it to also be hard to call. One thing I think though is that after Mayhem's shitty performance against Bisping he won't get a lot of respect from bettors and we may be able to get him as a dog.

I wonder what the main event will be for this card? Mir/Cain possibly? Or is this the card Ubereem/Dos Santos is supposed to be on?

Hmm, dunno.

According to Wiki, the two fights I listed are the only ones that are confirmed.

[SPX]

That JDS by decision prop is at least worth a mini bet.

[SPX]

There's a Hardy/Ludwig thread on Sherdog and most everyone is picking Ludwig.

Agree or disagree?

[poopoo333]

I agree. Hardy sucks

[SPX]

Sucks bad enough that he won four straight coming into the UFC?

I think he just had a string of bad matchups. Think about it:

GSP - he's fucking GSP
Condit - Current interim champion
AJ - huge, good striker, strong wrestler who just took him down and laid on him
Lytle - tough veteran who was on a serious roll for almost all of the past two years

If Hardy had been fighting other mid-tier guys like Markham, Davis and Swick the whole time then he probably would've just kept winning.

[poopoo333]

Hardy was getting clowned on the feet by Lytle, Hardy landed like two hard punches the whole fight. I think Ludwig has the better striking than Hardy.

[SPX]

I still think you're wrong for saying Hardy sucks. . .

And do you not think Hardy can take Bang down?

[poopoo333]

Ok, Hardy doesn't "suck". He is just overrated for barely beating Marcus Davis and beating anorexic Mike Swick who has been on the verge of dying for like five straight years.

And I dunno. Last time Hardy tried a takedown he just got choked out immediately

[SPX]

Been a while since I've seen them, but I remember the Davis fight was largely on the ground and I'm pretty sure he took Swick down, too.

BTW, I thought he pretty clearly beat Davis. And Davis used to be really solid as long as he wasn't fighting a top guy. He was like 8-1 in the UFC when he fought Hardy and had wins over Lytle, Paul Kelly, Paul Taylor, Spratt. . .
