I think Gomi's last fight changes the perspective on things a bit. I don't like Diego's chances right now. It's hard to say whether Diego is truly a better fighter at this point than Danzig is. Gomi performed well against Danzig, especially for a +300 dog I think he was.

I think Diegos pretty good. He did decently at welterweight. Beat Paulo Thiago, Martin Kampmann in a somewhat controversial decision, and dominated Jake Ellenberger in the third round of their fight. I think he will be overwhelmed by Diego. Look what Guida did to him. Guida is good, but I don't think he is any better than Diego.

I will be on Diego for sure.

[Luke]

Diego will be -300 or higher

[poopoo333]

Diego will be -300 or higher

Damn. No bet for me. I capped him at -295 so the line is too high for me.

[edman5555]

I capped him at 301.

[Luke]

But Diego has world-class kickboxing....

[Luke]

all of you negged!!!!!!!!!!

[SPX]

I capped him at 301.

BOL!

[edman5555]

But Diego has world-class kickboxing....

K1 Diego.

[Thewisemann]

Diego is -320 now, ill bet him if he drops to -300. I also decided to go ahead and bet Struve, even though he can easily get KO

[poopoo333]

I think I might make my biggest straight bet of the year (ever) on Brian Stann if he is -200 or better.

[SPX]

Why so confident?

[poopoo333]

Why so confident?

Stann is a better striker and has power against a VERY aged Wandy with a bad chin and cardio issues.

[SPX]

Devil's Advocate: Wandy beat Bisping while Stann lost a clear decision.

Yeah, I don't like to use MMA math...I just think the style match up favors Stann a lot

[mike]

any chance Wand will go for td in front of the japanese fans? I dont know how wand thinks, but I's say the Japanese fans would REALLY appreciate him taking stan down and win a decision or possible TKO gnp.

[edman5555]

I think the opposite. He will make it a war on the feet for the fans.

Stann is a better striker and has power against a VERY aged Wandy with a bad chin and cardio issues.

I always thought of Wandy as constantly training and in good shape. When have you seen him with cardio issues? I get the bad chin, though I don't think it is absolutely gone. I know I've had this argument on here before but I will make my point about him again. His recent knockout losses (4 in the last 7 years) are from 1 heavyweight(cro cop), 1 from Hendo H bomb, one from QJ and one from Leben. They are all guys who hit notoriously hard. His chin has had to have fade since when he was 25 years old but I think theres still something left.

Of course I do recognize that Stann hits like a ton of bricks and I guess has a decent enough chin (I don't think i've really seen him hit that much). I would say that Wandy probably has the better overall striking but Stann has a lot of power. The rest of the game is somewhat moot because even though Wandy has a black belt he never uses it.

I might bet wandy.

I also might bet Diego Sanchez in round three. Gomi has cardio issues and Diego really likes to push it. I am sure Gomi knows this and is training hard for the fight though. I remember you guys saying Gomi's cardio looked decent in his last fight though so I may have to go and watch that video.
