Really curious to see the rest of the odds. Browne/Griggs, Brown/Thompson, Makdessi/Njokuani, and Danzig/Escudero are all pretty close fights imo.

I pretty much agree...Torres/McDonald is a tough one for me to call though.

Why do you like Griggs over Browne? I think Browne should be slighty favored, but Griggs is tough..he should be the much smaller guy though.

I'm not even going to ask why you like Thompson and Makdessi, karate fag.

[Ludo]

Browne is a tough fight for Griggs for sure. Griggs is going to have to get inside that reach to do anything and Browne fights like he realizes he has a reach advantage(unlike guys like Struve who just can't seem to pop a jab for shit) I'll be betting Matt Brown over Thompson. Don't we have a sig bet on Thompson/Brown, X?

[poopoo333]

Yeah, I think Browne will probably beat Griggs but I won't count Griggs out. Browne is training full time with a good camp though, while Griggs is working as a full time firefighter. It sounds like he hasn't exactly gotten a real training camp or anything in, he mentioned on the MMA hour on monday that a lot of his workouts were cardio workouts when he was at the fire station.

[poopoo333]

I will only bet Brown over Thompson if he is a pretty good sized underdog. Thompson is an unknown karate fag that might have shit cardio, shit grappling ,etc etc.

[SPX]

I pretty much agree...Torres/McDonald is a tough one for me to call though.

Yeah, I basically picked Torres out of respect for how dominant he used to be, the fact that I thought he beat DJ, and that Macdonald didn't look TOO great against Cariaso.

Why do you like Griggs over Browne? I think Browne should be slighty favored, but Griggs is tough..he should be the much smaller guy though.

Basically making an upset pick here. I'm not sure I expect Griggs to win, but he seems to be one of those guys who finds ways to win when he's not really supposed to.

I'm not even going to ask why you like Thompson and Makdessi, karate fag.

I think Makdessi/Njokuani is a coin flip, but I really do expect Thompson to beat Brown. I think it will be a kickboxing match and Thompson is the better kickboxer.

[SPX]

Don't we have a sig bet on Thompson/Brown, X?

I believe that we do, yes.

[BIGDAY]

Love Michael McDonald against Torres. I think Torres will start his decline.

McDonald should be the favorite in my opinion. I also think Rashad will stay out of Jones's clinch work and have a decent shot.

Should be a great card!

Will be on Cuba Gooding

There are some retarded favorites on this card. Jones is -500? Definitely be taking Rashad there. Rory is -500? Probably justified, but fuck. Hominick is -900? what in the world is going on here. Bocek is -400.

You can bet all of them in a parla for Even money.

Don't see much for the magic parlay here, nothing for 2012 parlay either. Maybe "not Rothwell by submission" will have good odds, . Rothwell has 11 submission wins, but only 2 legit subs, the other 9 are injuries or submission to strikes. Rothwell is probably not going to be able to get the takedown, but he might blast Schaub out.

[poopoo333]

Bocek opened at like -189, and Hominick opened around -350. 5 dimes always is off on the opening lines.

I actually have a parlay on Jones/Rory/Hominick. I will hedge that with Rashad once Rashad gets to +475ish

[MMA_scientist]

I like Rashad at +400.

I bet against Jones pretty much every single fight, it is bound to hit at some point.

For real. Hominick's line in particular is just ridiculous.

The only one of those I'd be tempted to bet is Bocek, but no, I'm not betting the guy who got choked out by Mac Danzig at -400.
