UFC 153

[Mr. IWS]

wow glover opened as a favorite. I don't know whether or not to be suprised.

Im not suprised. I think Rampage made it pretty clear he doesnt give a fuck anymore.

[edman5555]

Yeah i still expected him to be the favorite. Glover is a very good ground guy but Rampage has great takedown defense and solid striking..He could easily win this.

[poopoo333]

Rampage's striking hasn't looked good in.....




Shit idk

[edman5555]

he hits hard and has a really good chin.

[edman5555]

glover has looked great and has a lot of tkos. Maybe you are right.

Rampage looked great against Hamill. He was in control every second of that fight.

[poopoo333]

Well, Matt Hamill (whom just came out of retirement) fought stupid in that fight. He wouldn't even listen to his corner. And Rampage gassed in that fight

[mike]

i only saw glover's fight with kingsbury and glover was very aggressive but he mostly threw hooks with both hands. he hurt kingsbury with an uppercut. It appears he has faster hands than Rampage but he is not a rangy striker. so in close quarter trading with rampage is not a good thing. I think he should still be favorite but stylistically, rampage is not a good match up for glover. but rampage slowed down alot so i cant bet on him.

I hadn't heard he had come out of retirement. That didn't take long. I wonder why. Good on the UFC for picking him back up again.

As for Hamill fighting stupid, I think he just did what he could do. Rampage stuffed his takedowns EASILY and boxed him the fuck up. And Rampage may have slowed down a bit in the third, but not any worse than pretty much anyone else. I wouldn't say he "gassed." But then again, you say everyone who doesn't maintain a consistent pace every round "gassed."

[poopoo333]

Rampage said in the post fight conference he gassed

[SPX]

My point is that it was a very good performance across all three rounds. Like I said, Hamill wasn't in control a single second of that fight.

I'm not arguing that Page doesn't have conditioning issues, though. He obviously does.

Gay line is gay.

[poopoo333]

Gay line is gay.

Yeah, I had over 6u on it originally when it was -400. I guess it goes from -400 to -600 when the fight is in Brazil

[poopoo333]

Jon Fitch (-155) vs Erick Silva (+125)

[poopoo333]

^^that might be adjusted actually, with Fitch being an even smaller favorite. I'm going to bet against Silva again here, Fitch all day.

[SPX]

I might be taking Fitch in that one.

[poopoo333]

Fitch actually was released at -140, Silva +110
