Hey poopoo. Back in action.

[MMA_scientist]

Im def gonna drop a bet on Davis. She is going to lose probably, but she has a better chance than that.

Mitrione looks good at + odds to me too.

Struve wins. Rousey dominates

[mike]

i think Machida and Mitrione have higher chance of pulling the upset

[MMA_scientist]

Struve wins. Rousey dominates

Mitrione hits hard, Struve has brain damage or whatever... so, I like it.

Rousey will probably dominate, but I don't think she should be 11:1 over anyone. Davis is the best grappler she has fought, so I think it is worth a flyer.

In related news, I might actually make a deposit and bet a fight.

Don't listen to me.I picked Lesnar over Cain and Couture over Lesnar, so I have no idea what I'm doing.

Now go find SPX, Ludo , and Sideloaded

You guys must love this card since a thread actually was created for it! I personally had to place a small bet on both Alexis Davis & Alex Caceres both at +1000. Those odds are off even though their opponents are very much more skilled. I think Alex has a better chance to upset than Alexis. But in a fight anything can happen so it's worth a shot for each. I'll probably be on Weidman and Struve as well.

[Mr. IWS]

Thread locked for spam.....

I love BJ penn!

[Mr. IWS]

I seriously like Machida though.

[poopoo333]

I love Struve in this spot. I wish I bet it when it was -150. I think he is just better and I don't think much of Mitrione. Struve is underrated imo.

I think Kenny Robertson might have some value (again).

Alexis Davis loses. Ronda Rousey wins as usual.

I think Weidman beats Machida. I can see why people are backing Machida though, the style clash is pretty interesting.

[Luke]

Machida doesn't have anything that Weidman hasn't seen before

[MMA_scientist]

Machida doesn't have anything that Weidman hasn't seen before

True that Machida's striking is not as good as Anderson's overall... but Weidman was not exactly taking it to him up until the break. Anderson was winning IMO. Also, in the first fight, people act like Weidman was dominating... he wasn't. Barring the KO shot while Silva was clowning, I am not sure he wins. Machida also has better takedown defense than Silva. I think Machida can definitely win. But then, he probably won't thrown any strikes because he will be too busy being elusive.

[edman5555]

Agree with scientist. Wiedman has great overall grappling and he times his shots very well. I see him doing well with the tds. Better than most as least.

Think Weidman dominated Silva both times, but can see where you're coming from.

I just don't see how Machida wins. He's been scared to throw strikes since getting KO'd by Shogun. Machida also doesn't deal with pressure very well. He likes to stay at a distance and go in and out. Wiedman will pressure him from the opening bell.

Think Machida might win a rd or two, but Weidman will take him deep and KO or Sub him

I can see a classic Machida decision here. One where he does a lot of eluding, throws a few strikes, gets tagged a few times, and you have no idea what the decision is going to be. But yeah, his general problem is that he doesn't stay active enough for MMA scoring.

[MMA_scientist]

I actually watched 3 fights. Faber, rousey, and Weidman.

I thought Davis won.

Machida could have won that fight if he would have thrown some strikes.
