BTW, Siver is like 9-2 in his last 11. That dude is kicking ass.

Dam, that is actually impressive and surprising. I had no idea.

Nam Phan is in for Yagin.

He has been overachieving for sure. Anyone who's been on Siver the last couple of years has been riding the gravy train.

Nam Phan is in for Yagin.

Oh, well I like Siver even more to win then.

[mike]

yep ill play silver too but his odd gonna suck

[poopoo333]

I will be on Phan for a good amount if he is around +150

[poopoo333]

Actually I don't know because of the short notice...

[mike]

he probably be +200

[SPX]

Probably so. Siver's odds will probably be pretty high . . . maybe too high to bet.

[poopoo333]

If Phan is +200 I will probably lay a 5u bet on him.

How many units in your bankroll PP?

I am liking Gustaffson over Shogun style wise. I think Shogun will have a tough time taking him down and will be at a distinct reach advantage standing. Gustaffson is a big tall lanky guy. Shogun seems like he isn't training super hard anymore. Maybe he will be in good shape for this one. Who knows.

Found this article:

Posted Augest 25th. Ruas manager claims he will start training for the Gustafsson fight in one week.

Daron Cruickshank is an NCAA division 3 wrestler fighting Henry Martinez. Henry's takedowns defense looked pretty good in the Riddle fight IIRC. I actually thought he was very close to getting the nod.

Swick Versus Brown. I think this one is pretty close. I would bet Swick should look better in this fight than in the Demarques fight just because he had been out for 2 years in that one. With that out of the way..Swick should be a little faster on the feet but aside from that I guess I see this is a close one.

Penn/Mcdonald: I guess my gut tells me Mcdonald will overpower him, take him down and beat him up GSP style. That said, BJ has quick hands and a great guard. Probably a no bet. I am interested to see how big BJ Penn is for this fight.

Diaz/Bendo: Too close to call. I am rooting for Diaz as I assume everyone else is. I fully expect Bendo to come out with a barrage of leg kicks and Diaz to try and box the hell out of him. I think Bendo can dictate where the fight takes place and has some solid BJJ defense.

Dennis Siver versus Nam Phan is in the announced bouts on Wikipedia: Siver all day.

Yves Edwards/John Cholish: Cholish is a wrestler that trains at Renzo Gracie. I guess wrestling + BJJ should allow him to take down Edwards and stay there relatively safe. Edwards is a crafty vet of many fights though. He tapped out Cody McKenzie if that means anything. Edwards is obviously the better striker. Tough to call.

Schaub/Johnson: Schaub can probably dominate if he takes Lavar down. If he can't take Lavar down I don't know what happens. Lavar hits like a mack truck. Schaub if the odds are good.

Joe Albert/Scott Jorgensen: I guess Jorgensen due to wrestling experience and total MMA experience. Albert almost beat Menjivar, just throwing that in.


Thats about all I have an opinion on right now. I haven't been watching many fights lately so I don't know much about a lot of these guys. I also did almost no research for this.

Is Cruickshank the TKD blackbelt that got KOd on TUF?

I think you're thinking of Justin Lawrence from that same season?
