UFC 154

[Mr. IWS]

hope it aint another one of these moments:

[trotterz]

For this event, I will consider the following possibilities for the not by sub magic parlay:
Not Carvalho by sub
Not Makdessi by sub
Not Sakara by sub
Not Hendricks by sub
maybe also Not Philippou by sub

The last two are probably the only ones you will get lines on.

I looked at Azamat Gashimov's record today. It is almost entirely guys with 1 or 2 fights. He is only 22 years old. According to his UFC profile he is a sambo and BJJ champion. He is training out of Greg Jacksons camp though. It makes me think he must be pretty good. Why would Jackson send this kid to the ufc if he was bad? He probably has a bunch of other guys he could send. Granted, this is 135 pounds so maybe the herd is pretty think. I just watched a video on him and he looks like an animal. http://www.twylah.com/Greg_Soto/twee...00758769725440. He is still pretty young and inexperienced. I am typing this as I research by the way, that is why it is sporadic. Its been 15 minutes since I started. I think Menjivar can probably take this kid. The only thing that conerns me is his wild flailing arms and legs. He might catch Menji.

On 5 dimes, Carlos Condit/GSP is -190 to go over 4.5 rounds. It is -280 to go the distance. Just a heads up to anybody that likes that play.

Does anyone like Siler over Elkins in this one ? also Carvalho over Rodrigo Damm ?

[poopoo333]

I like Elkins' style for betting...but I need to watch Siler, I am not sure how his TDD is.

[SPX]

I don't know that much about Carvalho but Damm is just not that great of a fighter. I don't expect him to be int he UFC for long. Apparently he beat some random Brazilian dude at UFC 147 but before that he was getting the shit beat out of him by Justin Wilcox.

[mike]

I dont know about Siler's TDD either but his overall wrestling looks decent. If he can stop the td, he'll win and i have a feeling he can. Carvalho is not a bad fighter at all.

Going on a cruise this week so I might not even have access to the prelim lines. However...I am going to be in the Bahamas all night in Nassau the night of UFC 154. I am going to (most likely) go to the Atlantis casino and watch the fight at their sportsbook. I emailed them and they said they would be showing the fights and "be taking small wagers on the fights". I'm not sure what a small wager equates to there though.

What's your deal with cruises? Most people do that once or twice in their life. You go like every other month.

Something to do I guess.

But, BOL...I knew you were going to say that because you said that before the last couple I went on.

[SPX]

Did I? I don't remember that.

Also, isn't it like a thousand+ bucks everytime?

[poopoo333]

Naw. It can get around there for a 7 day one at certain parts of the year. I am going on a 4 day one this time and it cost me $339 or so for the total cost (as well as the gratuities, which is separate). I also live in Florida so I don't need to travel to the ports which is a big money saver. It's a real economical vacation if you break it down:

$339 for:

4 days/nights of lodging
4 days/night of all you can eat food of a buffet 24/7, as well as a dining room option (with good food) for breakfast/lunch/dinner...which is all you can eat
4 days/nights of entertainment throughout the day/night..there are comedy shows at nights in a comedy club...musical show things in the auditorium as well as funny game show shit as well..some of the shows are with magicians and stuff too which is pretty cool.
also you get to go to different places outside of the USA...which I find kind of boring anyways but oh well.

The only extra money you spend on the cruise will be on alcohol and gambling for the most part. I don't include souvenirs because they are gay and nobody buys them.


When I compare that to my trip to UFC 145 in Atlanta:

Probably $150-$200 in gas.
$300-$400 in food/drinks (this was for 2 though)
$380ish for the ticket to the fight
$300+ for hotels.

Indeed. Well enjoy that. You're like a cruise enthusiast. You should start Cruise Aficionado magazine.

My Mom is the cruise enthusiast actually. She really likes them. I just go with her. This time her friend is going with her and my girlfriend is going with me so it'll be a bit different....as in I get sex after losing money playing craps/getting real drunk. If I were sideloaded, I would get it if I was going with just my Mom, but I'm not into that shit

Sickburn.

I have never been on a cruise. I have a couple friends who go on them and they always try to get me to go. To me, when they describe it, it seems like a total nightmare. It has no appeal to me, being in a tiny cabin or crammed in with 1000 people with some mouthbreather panting over my shoulder at the buffet.

That is pretty cheap though.

I like Elkins' style for betting...but I need to watch Siler, I am not sure how his TDD is.

Siler has super long arms and legs and a lot of wins by submission. He might be a bad guy to take down. He reminds me of Cole Miller a lot.
