Whats the deal with fodor being favored over stout? Is he really that good?

[SPX]

It would be interesting to see what the line would be if Stout hadn't lost to Makdessi.

[poopoo333]

I'd still favor Fodor. I think he wins...will be betting him just waiting to see the line closer to fight time.

bmaker sucks ball. still no lines for undercard fights. WTF?

The Shogun that fought Hendo was only a shell of the one that fought Machida

[poopoo333]

Dan Henderson hasn't fought in 15 months. I just realized that.

Yeah he gassed pretty quick iirc.

Yes. He still has the h bomb. Though i do think machida is the exact type of fighter that would avoid the h bomb.

[edman5555]

I see the Bermudez/Grice line is pretty crazy. They are both good wrestlers. I havent seen bermudez fight so I can't say anything.

Koscheck by decison: I don't see koscheck trying to stand and bang with lawler. If he did I would think he would lose. I don't think Lawler is necessarily that easy to submit. Koscheck doesn't typically submit a lot of guys either. Should we expect to see koscheck wrestle for a decision?

I am still intrigued by rousey tko at +1200. She will probably just submit her.

Poopoo: What about fodors style makes you think he will beat Stout?

Kenny Robertson is a very good collegiate wrestler. It looks like Brock Jardine is also a good wrestler too. credentials wise.

Honestly, after the Fitch cut, I expect Koscheck to do whatever has to be done to win. I don't think he will sub lawler. I might bet Kos.

[SPX]

I think Dana likes Kos so I think he'd have to lose three or four to get cut.

[edman5555]

Anyone make sense of the cuts? I read there are supposed to be more. Up to 100. My theory is that the UFC is going to cut down on the number of shows it is doing. Either that or they will have more guys fighting. It doesn't seem like anyone is really fighting three times a year.

Maybe, but he is older than Fitch and costs more too. So He has to at least take it into consideration... maybe not. Surely he isn't going to stand and bang with Lawler... right?

The ones that really vex me are Volkmann and Fitch. Everyone else wasn't that good. I guess with all the SF guys, people are going to get cut.

[edman5555]

Yeah its odd. As someone said this doesn't help the credibility of the sport. I know its an entertainment business and all that but they just came out with fricking rankings.
