UFC 156

Sucks for guys like Machida, Rashad, & Hendo. Amazingly talented guys that are stuck between Anderson Silva & Jon Jones for a title.

Personally I think Evans is underrated.

If anyone were to beat Silva imo, it's Evans. He's a better version of Sonnen. KO power, better submission defense (has never been submitted), and he wasn't finished by Jones.

Evans is in his prime now and Silvas almost 38. I think he's the only one that poses a challenge to Silva at MW, it just depends how he handles the cut.

Ronaldo Souza can definetly give Anderson a run for his money. I think he could take him down and submit him.

If you look at the list of kickboxers Overeem has beat I have a hard time believing bigfoot will drop him. I don't see bigfoot outwrestling him either. Bigfoots gameplan seems to be either land a crazy haymaker or try to clinch him. If he tries to clinch him he will get knee'd to hell IMO.

[Vandelay]

edman are you limited on reduced lines? or for a normal bet?

[edman5555]

I guess it was reduced lines. I can wait for the line to adjust and then bet again though. This happened to me before.

[Vandelay]

reduced lines for any sport are limited to 500. its always been like that for me. you either have to wait for lines to reset or bet in the ufc section. also live bets are limited to 500 as well.

Reem can be hit when he is worried about the td.

[edman5555]

Well I assume you are basing that on the Werdum fight and IMO he was probably a lot more worried about the TD in that fight because if you get Werdum on top of you he is incredibly dangerous. If you look at the Brock Lesnar fight, Lesnar shoots and fails then gets tko'd in the first round. I think he can stop the td while striking.

I probably bet too much on this and I am worried. That said, Cormier dropped him standing and he is a frickin wrestler. Overeem should be able to do it. Werdum outstruck him, Mike Kyle dropped him, Fedor was outstriking him in the first round of their fight.

[edman5555]

Also Wiseman. I noticed you played a huge bet on Maia. Care to explain why? I am on him too. I think his wrestling is almost as good as Fitch's. I think his striking is around the same level. He could be better than Fitch. Obviously his ground game is top notch as well.

This article is talking about his cardio. It is from August. Granted it is his manager who is probably exaggerating but he does say his cardio is at a crazy level in August.

Good luck tonight everyone

I'm still not sure what to make of Fitch / Maia. Certainly on a p4p level, Fitch is far better than Munoz, and Maia's performance against Munoz was just awful. Still, he looked great against Story. The question is, has Maia turned into an insane beast at WW?

I'm inclined to think Fitch could beat Maia the way Weidman did, staying up and outboxing him over three rounds.

[edman5555]

I think Maia did alright against Munoz. I remember thinking he won the fight. Granted, I had money on him. Fitch is far better than Munoz? I think you could make a case that he is better but I don't know about Far better. Munoz has some power in his hands as well as great wrestling.

[poopoo333]

Fitch would beat Munoz. Fitch could fight @ 170 when Munoz fought @ 185 and I'd still lay -250 on it

[Thewisemann]

well maia saved my ass
