[SPX]

Fujii giving it another shot in Bellator . . . not sure I expected that.

[poopoo333]

Kind of like Spang here if it stays standing and he is better than +150 or so. Falcao probably has the takedown/grappling advantage though.

Sparks -170, other guy +140
Fuji -175, aguilar +145
Amoussou -165, Rickels +135

I like Spang +265. X, thought on Fujii @-175? She is usually -1000

I like Fujii here, even though she's already down to -230.

[SPX]

Yeah, Fujii at -175 was excellent. The line is wandering down Gay Lane, though.

Looks like Falcao missed weight by 3 pounds on the first try.

[SPX]

Uh oh. . .

[SPX]

Some dude on Junkie Radio called in the other day and said he did some research on UFC fights and that, in the fights that he looked at where a fighter missed weight and the fight was held at a catchweight, their collective record was 3-13.

[Svino]

I'm not surprised, but that's an interesting stat.

For what it's worth, Falcao did make weight on his second attempt.

[poopoo333]

How long did he have to cute those last 2 lbs?

[Svino]

How long did he have to cute those last 2 lbs?

Two hours, I think.

[SPX]

I'm not surprised, but that's an interesting stat.

Really? I actually did find it kind of surprising. I generally think that, unless the fight is very closely matched, the more skilled guy will win even if he didn't have the best preparations.
