UFC 148 Sonnen vs Silva II

[SPX]

But is it really risky?

In his last 6 Forrest lost to Shogun, Silva and Rashad. That's kind of a murderer's row of opponents.

And he beat Rampage, Tito and Rich Franklin.

I think what that proves is simply that he's not at the very top of the division. But he's damn good and will beat most guys outside of the top 5.

Bet him then...I just do not personally feel comfortable laying -300 on a guy that has fought to two close (on the judges cards, which really matters in a result) decisions that were both split. Also...Forrest is on his way out of the sports as well. However, I am not getting the notion that Tito is not going above and beyond in training and stuff to win this fight. He is being inducted in the hall of fame this week. He knows it is his last fight. He is doing lots of random media stuff that involves lots of traveling and down time. He is already saying shit like "I've done everything I've wanted to do in MMA".

For the record...I do think Forrest wins a decision here.

[poopoo333]

Also I just want this fight to go the distance...as long as it does that, I am happy.

[poopoo333]

Also I am going to pass on Camoes. Don't think his wrestling will be good enough to beat Guillard. I will be parlaying Guillard and Mendes most likely...not 100% yet because Guillard IS a flake.

Anybody look at Tibau/Nurmagomedov? If Tibau wasn't such a musclebear at LW I would have bet Nurmagomedov already

[MMA_scientist]

All in on Maia.

Tibau is going to win.

[poopoo333]

I am starting to like Maia as well...weight cut concerns me though.

[MMA_scientist]

He says he is on weight. I am convinced maia will win.

How do you see them matching up? I think stun gun would be the better striker...but only slightly. A lot of people think DHK's judo base will help him keep it on the feet and stuff...I don't think it's that simple. Also, DHK gets put in some pretty bad positions, just watch DHK vs Karo, Matt Brown, Nate Diaz (in round 3).

I think that Maia winning rd. 3 is probably a given as long as the fights gets that far. DHK always gasses.

Not sure about rounds 1 and 2, though.

Good luck on that parlay, PP. I think you'll get Griffin. And I pray you get Sonnen.

If it goes well at UFC 148...I think Jones and Rousey are not much to sweat..but then I can hedge on JDS when the last leg is on Cain.

[poopoo333]

wtf...thought Alessio would be a good bet around +150..close to +200 now and I already bet it..fuck

^^^ Me too.
