Strikeforce: Melendez vs Masivdal 12/17 Bets

[sbjj]

Sell me on Noons, sbjj. . .

I just always thought he was better than most did. And my opinion on Evangelista really is not all that high. The one thing that worries me is that Noons almost looked depressed after Masvidal beat his ass.

On the same note though so did Evangelista. He couldn't get past the jab if I remember right. Noons should have plenty for him to have problems with.

1.9u to win 1u on Noons
1u to win 3u on OSP

.847u to win 1u on Melendez/Cyborg/Noons

There was a time where if I could have bet Noons @-200 against Evangelista I would have went all in. Something just does not feel right about Noons as of late to me. But i still think you are right and that Noons should beat him pretty easily. i really have never thought Evangelista was all that great.

If it was against someone else I wouldn't do it but Evangelista is really just a freestyle fighter who's strong but unrefined all around. He has a good top control grappling game but he relies on his size to bully fighters into the clinch to get the takedown and I don't like his chances of doing that against an equally big Noons who has historically had above average takedown defense. Standing I don't see how Evangelista gets inside unless he just says fuck it and runs in with his hands down looking for the clinch.

. . . who has historically had above average takedown defense.

Shit's in the history books.

Like this one. . .

So is no one going to rank the fights for me?

I wasn't aware you were asking for outside analysis on the issue.

I miss worded it. I thought I said "Rank these..." like a command; but I said "Ranking these..." as though I was just stating my opinion.

So thanks. That is how I see it too. Looking at Melendez/Noons most likely. I guess it would not hurt to throw Cyborg in there. But what if she is on her period or something?

Then she's gonna end up killing that bitch while screaming about having to iron shirts.

I actually think both Moose and Gil have a stronger chance of losing than Noons. Hell, I was more confident in Bocek last week than any of them this week.

It was a trick question. Cyborg stopped menstruating the moment her testosterone levels surpassed Ryan Braun's (years ago).

I talked myself into Gil earlier. But I should probably just sit it out. I wanted OSP, but he is only +250. I think he still has value there, but I feel cheated since he was +400
