UFC 149

I maxed it at +125. He is -135 now but I expect people to bet big on Kongo -105 bringing it back to + money

Nice avatar. When did Matt Serra get so fat?

[SPX]

If Kongo's price stays around -135 then I'll definitely be betting him. Crazy line.

[poopoo333]

Get 5 dimes, FUCK

[SPX]

I actually was going to reload my account a few months ago and even went up to Walmart to MoneyGram them money but got kind of confused by the process and just said fuck it and walked out.

I'd do it now but I'm broke as a fucking bitch. Like, super broke.

[poopoo333]

Starting to come around on Faber actually. Just hate how he is a pretty slow starter. But after watching film on Faber I noticed that 135 is definitely an awesome weight class for him. He is MUCH quicker imo.

[Vandelay]

Faber will hopefully use his wrestling in this one. Barao is a superior striker. Faber hung with Aldo tho who is much faster and better standing then Barao. Faber should have the wrestling edge, cardio, experience, and chin. Barao should be faster, better standing, and solid tdd.

I like Faber at his odds for sure.

[poopoo333]

Yeah...I need to watch more of Barao though. If Faber uses his wrestling and just makes it a high paced fight I see Barao slowing down by the championship rounds. I am curious to see who money comes in on this week.

Nick ring didnt really grapple fuck james head. He beat the shit out of him for two rounds then submitted him while he was battered and bloody. The sub probably wouldnt have happened if he didnt beat him up first.

hmm..I guess I should have said "he took him down and kept him there while beating his ass"

Head seemed OK on the feet, was even winning. But Ring was taking him down at will and controlling him.

Abedi took Head down and kept him there most of round 1 before getting tired, beat on the feet, and getting dropped/choked out.

Ebersole should beat Head..Head's only out is if Ebersole refuses to come to grapple/get takedowns. Ebersole's slow plodding walk forward style could mean trouble for him on the feet against Head.

[poopoo333]

Ebersole is gonna end up being worse than -300 I bet...gay

[trotterz]

Poopoo,
I keep looking at the Kongo fight over and over but I still can't find how you are so confident in Jordan over Kongo.

As for Ebersole, like I already said a couple days earlyer, to me he is the one I am the most confident in of the whole card.

I liked him a lot as a dog..not at the current line. I'm not super confident or anything, but I think he presents a pretty big style match up challenge to Kongo. Jordan is a VERY athletic heavyweight, and is getting better every single fight. He took the Devin Cole fight on like a week's notice, and looked great, and handled himself very well against a veteran wrestler (and rapist). Then, he got with Jacksons MMA and he beat Lavar Johnson on like a week or two notice again and looked impressive. Showed a good chin, adequate striking, blah blah. Then he had a full camp against Oli Thompson and looked great. He gets better each fight. He is with a good camp now. He has the aggressive style that Kongo has had trouble with in the past. He has good power. Good wrestling. Good conditioning for a heavyweight. Great athlete etc etc. With Kongo, you have a guy who is probably not getting any better, is on the possible decline, and somebody who has been suffering through some bad injuries (especially his back injury). He is also very tentative in his fights and has the tendency to move backwards. I think if Kongo wins he is going to win by dropping Jordan with a counter straight..or if he somehow is able to implement the Mitrione gameplan which I don't think he will be able to do against Jordan.


I just think Shawn Jordan is going to win. I could definitely be wrong though. I'm not the only one who thinks this though....just look at the line/line movement.


I haven't looked at any of the prelim fights yet...any good potential spots there? I will probably want to parlay Ebersole with somebody.

[Ludo]

Faber hung with Aldo tho who is much faster and better standing then Barao.

If by "hung with" you mean missed a vast majority of his strikes while being hit over 80% of the time standing over five rounds, then yeah.

That should be 70%, typo.

[edman5555]

Yeah thats true but you can also give him credit for not getting knocked out like pretty much everyone else. I don't think Barao is as nasty as Aldo. I'm going to watch some fights on him now.
