If there's another thread, too bad.

Carmont?

I can't bet Machida anymore. Ever since he was KO'd by Rua he's seems scared to engage people. He barely beat Hendo, lost to Rampage because he wouldnt engage, and did lose to Davis (even though it was a robbery) for the same reason. When he decides to stop being a vag, I'll bet him again

[MMA_scientist]

I love Mousasi at those odds. I don't know for sure that Machida would win a striking battle even if he did decide to fight. But with his "evasion" tactics, every fight is a coin toss.

[poopoo333]

I'll probably bet Mousasi at those odds but he hasn't fought at 185 since around 2009, has been injured, and hasn't fought any "top competition" in a very long time. Also factor in that it is in Brazil etc...he might have a rough go of things.

[poopoo333]

Jacare/Erick Silva parlay. All in.

Who the heck is Silva fighting?

Maybe he learned his lesson.

Exactly.

Erick Silva (-1200) vs. Takenori Santo (+600)

Zubair tuhuguv vs thiago tavares: i went through zubair tuhuguvs record and hes a lot like most russian fighters and his record is padded with cans. Did anyone ever notice that about russian? I think they must do it to get into the ufc. That and they have a tendency to fight a lot of fights in a short period of time. Thats zuhuguv as well. A lot of fights in a somewhat short period of time versus a lot of inexperienced guys. I would think that tavares should eat this guy alive. Hes only 23 years old by the way. He lost to a guy with three fights in 2012. In 2013 he barely squeaked by a guy with four or five fights with two losses. He has one win by submission so i doubt that will be a problem. He miht have some power and standup ability as well as wrestling. Im going to have to wait until his ufc profile pops up. He could be a good wrester or something like that. Either way tavares seems like a really stiff test for this guy.

That's a fake write up.

That's a fake write up.

Its a fake card

Thiago is pretty inconsistent, but it does sound like an experience mis-match. That said, he's russian, so you know he is a bad ass

Are you two sending love notes confessing you're undying love?

[poopoo333]

No. I bet it went something like this:

X: Those guys are dicks.

Scientist: Yeah, they are immature.

X: I'm looking at www.emogirls.com

[edman5555]

Tavares isnt inconsistent.

[poopoo333]

Tavares isnt inconsistent.

His inconsistency is very difficult to predict.

What should I explain? We're gay lovers.

Seriously, I have talked to him via pm a bunch of times- since he disappeared more or less- but you already knew that, because you are stalking him.

Lol!!!!

I just saw he was on here yesterday so I clicked on his profile. It shows what thread you're currently viewing when you get to the profile page. I just felt like giving you shit when I saw what he was doing

[MMA_scientist]

Ah. I figured you had access to logins etc and knew that he had popped in a few times.

[Luke]

I have no special powers..........Zak wont' allow it

[Luke]

Wait........why is X mad at the rest of us but not at you when you did the same thing that we did?


Well, I was really just piling on. I am glad you're not homeless this month, but that's a losing strategy.

You are being a pussy. Get a job waiting tables or something. You are borrowing money at usurious rates from horrible people in order to eat and pay rent rather than demean yourself by working a shitty job temporarily.

I know you aren't asking for advice, but since you are posting your financial woes, I don't feel bad chiming in. I am sure you know your situation isn't good, but I don't want to see you in way worse situation. It is one thing to be broke bohemian lifestyle chasing your art, it is another thing going into debt to do it.

[MMA_scientist]

I'm not going to air it. I'm not being secretive or dramatic, its the same respect I'd give to anyone (including you a few times) who tells me something directly rather than publicly. I do the same thing IRL. That said, we have mainly discussed the camera he sold me.

Maybe if you cleared out your PM box once a year you would have seen that I asked you if he was dead a couple weeks after "the vanishing."

I think it is funny that Ludo vanished too, but no one cares.

Haha, I wasn't asking you to reveal what he's PMing you........I honestly dont care. I just wanted to know why he's not mad at you but is still butthurt at the rest of us.

I just cleaned it out yesterday so feel free to start sending nudes again.

I honestly didn't even realize he did(is that bad?). He's probably over there with SPX now

[poopoo333]

BOL! I didn't realize Ludo vanished either. He is probably trying to take the best selfie picture of himself that he can before posting a pic.

[Mr. IWS]

I have no special powers..........Zak wont' allow it

I cant even access other peoples accounts, I can only edit them.

And I was just looking to see when the last time Ludo posted the other day, I wanted to see what he thought about the Karate/Machida thread.

New Years Day. I guess we should send the search party out

[poopoo333]

Do Bronx/Erick Silva/Jacare ITD pays +104

[edman5555]

Jacare itd is risky imo. I already took do bronx and souza for -200. I am looking at thiago tavares.

[Luke]

I'll probably just take Souza-Silva to win 200 or 300 . Think its -250

[poopoo333]

I am very interested in Mousasi/Machida. I think it is a great match up and I cannot really make a good prediction either way. I feel that with Mousasi traveling to Brazil and having to cut to 185 for the first time in an extremely long time, he has some outside factors going against him. I also feel that Machida can take advantage of this by initiating the grappling (which he doesn't do enough imo, he has great takedowns), but he probably won't because he likes to run around the cage for laps during the fight.

Oh and

Mousasi is good so he might win.

[poopoo333]

Main card for Machida-Mousasi on @FOXSports1 (https://twitter.com/FOXSports1) is scheduled for 1:30-4AM local time in Brazil. Machida walks to Octagon around 3:10AM. Yikes.

::lmao::

[Luke]

Fine with me . At least it not 1:30-4am my time

[edman5555]

I like machida decision at two to one

[poopoo333]

Jacare/Silva/Oliveira. $780 to win $500...done.

[Luke]

Hmmm, maybe I'll do the same . Was already planning to do Silva-Souza

[Mr. IWS]

Fine with me . At least it not 1:30-4am my time

Ill just be getting up then.

::handshake::

[poopoo333]

Thiago Tavares is out. Injured.

[poopoo333]

Just put $100 on Jacare by TKO at +350. That was an off line. +280 now.

Well I'll be on Jacare one way or another, so I hope he TKO's him on the first punch of the fight

[edman5555]

It opened at plus 750. I wish i had taken it.

[Luke]

I'll be doing a Jacare/Silva/Oliveria parlay also

[edman5555]

Anyone consider it possible that jacare loses? Carmont can mix it up pretty well and should have an edge in the striking department.

[Luke]

No. I just watched Carmont fight today. He should have received loses for the Lawlor and Larkin fights . If not for those fights Souza would be -900 . Dont think he stands a chance.

[poopoo333]

Jacare will kill Carmont if it's a pure striking match.

[edman5555]

I just watched carmont vs lawlor and it was damn close. I don't think Carmont would have won if the ref wasn't constantly breaking them up whenever lawlor got ahold of him. He was most lucky there.

[edman5555]

Finished Carmont vs larkin. I thought it was pretty close as well. He has definitely gotten lucky in his decisions. One thing I've noticed is he gets caught in a lot of submission attempts. He scrapes by and survives them but obviously Jacare would make that much more difficult. I also noticed that a large amount of his striking game is his kicks. I don't see how he will be able to use them as effectively against Souza because he will not want to leave himself open to the takedown. Lawlor landed on him with his hands and Larkin was clearly outstriking him. Jacare should be able to do decently on the feet and really dominate him if he gets him to the ground. Carmonts defensive wrestling is pretty decent though so it could be difficult for him to do that.

[Svino]

If it weren't for the Okami fight, I might have been tempted to bet Carmont, but Jacare's striking has improved a lot.

[Luke]

Like Mousasi by UD at +1355 . If my parlay hits, I'll probably throw 10 or 20 on it
