Mr. IWS

Im curious to see that Cormier line.
Let's see, I recognize Miesha Tate, Abongo Humphrey, and Andre Galvao. Who the fuck are these people on these cards?

Let's see, I recognize, Abongo Humphrey,
You watched Iron ring on BET too?
Mr. IWS
03-23-2010, 06:24 PM
Dan Cormier is a bad ass in the making IMO. Olympic wrestler, finished 4th.

Well it is about damn time. Finally.
I am looking at Cormier and Galvao...
Lines have to come out today, right?
Mr. IWS
03-24-2010, 10:24 AM
I hope so. If the line isnt crazy, I would get some on Cormier.

George Bush is fighting? So thats what ex presidents do in their spare time these days?
I'll be honest I dont know much about any of these guys
I'll be honest I dont know much about any of these guys
Yeah, I've heard of almost none of them.
Watched some videos
Miesha Tate-very good ground game and former HS wrestler ,just ok striking ,fought a good fight against Champ Sarah Kaufman
Zoila Frausto-very good leg striking (think Cung Le) ,not much punching ,zero ground game (think Cung Le),not very good takedown defense, is 2 inches shorter and the natually smaller fighter,fight is in her home town
If Meisha can stay away from the crazy kicks of Zoila and get takedowns she should win
but I aint betting it lol
I know that Meisha Tate has a great ass.

I think Cormier will open up high, probably -450 to -500.
MMA_scientist
03-25-2010, 02:20 PM
If Cormier opens -400, I will probably drop another unit on Galvao.
Even with only 4 fights, Galvao has already beaten better competition that Stewart. He submitted Alessio. IMO he beat High, but got screwed by the Japanese judges.

I guess they are not going to let us bet on Cormier.
My good friend Mike Hammersmith showed up in another of my threads yesterday and said he thinks that Miesha Tate is criminally undervalued at her current price. He does sometimes make some good picks so I'm thinking of parlaying her with Galvao.

I think he is way too tight with his lines, but I do get a lot out of his breakdowns. His UFC 111 breakdown is up at mmamafia
I don't know anything about women's mma (nor do I care to) so I can't tell you about Meisha Tate.

Yeah Yvel vs JDS is a 50/50 proposition.

And Kampmann was "unlikely to win" against Volkmann.
I actually said some shit to him about that when he popped up in my thread the other day and his response was: "Just because a bet pans out doesn't mean it was a smart bet. . ."

After watching it, I don't think Yvel would beat JDS if they fought a million times.

Okay, that's pretty funny.
In all seriousness, I just don't pay attention to it. But I do like women's MMA. They're aggressive as hell and always bring it. What they lack in technical skills they make up for with intensity.
And they're fun to look at.

I think your friends wrong and I would bet Zoila or nothing in this fight. Zoila is 10X the striker of Tate and as long as Zoila can stuff a few takedowns shes going to win easily .I watched some more tape on it last night and Meisha cant strike for anything .Like I said before Zoila reminds me of a womens version of Cung Le. If Zoila can stay back and throw kicks and avoid the takedown she wins this easily. Tate is anything but undervalued imo

I watched every fight I could find on both fighters .Tate is slow on here feet and cant strike , Zoila is fast on her feet and strikes like a crazy person.Tate is suppose to be a great wrestler but was only able to take down Kauffman once who has no ground game just like Zoila .
Do want you want man I'm not betting this and only going off wht I have found out in the last 24 hours. I could be way off but I'm not betting it so I really dont care

Yeah, it was close, but I can definitely see how Galvao won. Luckily for me, he did.

I had it 2-1 for the guy with the tats .3-0 for Galvao is a complete joke .
I know alot of you guys had Galvao so I'm happy you won but I dont think he deserved the decision

Yeah I've never heard of any of those shows either. Showtime is dog shit and everyone knows it. I ordered it for a few months for strikeforce but it was so godawful any other time that I didn't renew it.
I wasn't paying enough attention to that fight to see who won.
SPX did you end up betting anything??

03-27-2010, 01:27 AM
I could very well be wrong (I'd have to watch it again), but I think Galvao had more takedowns, spent more time in dominant positions, and landed more total strikes.
Granted, he got swept several times - his JJ did not impress at all. I was disappointed there.

Were on some promo where we buy both for the price of one but you're right they suck,if it wasnt for my boxing I'd shut them off in a second

It's essentially about a serial killer who lives by a code . . . he doesn't just kill indiscriminately. And he wants to change his ways. He also plays the role of family man. You'd just have to watch it.
But like I said, start at season 1.
Oh, and at least in my opinion, it's a lot better than CSI or L&O.
Entourage, Scrubs, House, The Office, NCIS, 30 Rock, Always Sunny, probably some others I'm forgetting.
I don't keep up with them all anymore, freakin ridiculous.
