UFC 158 MArch 16th

[SPX]

Patrick cote released some pictures of himself training for this fight. He is dropping to 170 to fight Voelker. He looks like he is on roids.

Pics or didn't happen.

I cant help but wonder about betting Roop. Heres the thing that concerns me though. Roop is 6'1'' and lanky as hell. Duran is a short stocky guy and a good grappler. Do you think he can muscle Roop to the ground?

I think we could know a lot more about Duran if we could find the Miz/Duran fight vid. If you can find it, I'll give you eleventybillion dollars.

Well thats a fair question. Neither one of them seem to be great grapplers so I guess this could turn out to be a fight on the feet. From what I remember about Voelker, he likes to brawl. If I am right than it could come down to chin/punching power. I could be wrong of course.

[poopoo333]

Like..how does that tell you who is more likely to win? How do you see them matching up?

[edman5555]

I am so confused.

??

[poopoo333]

I don't know who wins. Voelker has more Ko's but Cote has fought much better competition.

I am so confused.

Hendricks beats condit. Hendricks fights for title. Hendricks beats GSP and becomes champion. Maia gets title shot. Scientist blows load all over computer screen.

[edman5555]

Thinking about playing Hendricks by decision at +200. I figure he isn't subbing condit. Fat chance he even goes for one. He could Ko Condit but Condits chin is amazing. Of course I am sure it has its limits. Then of course Condit could stop him. Tough call. I do think Hendricks comes to wrestle though. Isn't this for a title shot?

[edman5555]

Yeah. What if he tries to strike? Thats all that worries me.

Cote/Voelker. I don't know who wins. Voelker has more Ko's but Cote has fought much better competition. I guess I like Voelker at good odds. Hard to say what to expect from Cote.

I think Cruickshank will be able to get Makdessi down, and Makdessi has looked pretty bad on the ground.

These lines suck. I'm curious about Roop/Duran. If Duran looks like he did in his last fight, there may be value in Roop.

Also: I had no idea Makdessi and Cruickshank were fighting. That should be a good one.

Cruishank looks like he has a ton of potential. His striking is solid and he is a college wrestler. Of course Makdessi is very talented himself. I would bet on Cuishank but I'd be worried about him going out there any trying to strike with Makdessi.
