Now that I think about it Cerrone did get tooled by Nate diaz and his style is boxing. Noons seems like he uses his boxing a lot. Maybe noons can do to Cerrone what diaz did. The only difference is Cerrone is much better than Noons on the ground.

[SPX]

My thing with Noons is that he's just a disappointment. I used to be kind of high on him and thought he could be a top 10 sort of dude, but he never wins against truly top tier guys. His best win is Diaz and it wasn't even really a win.

I mean, I guess did he beat Yves Edwards a while back. That's pretty good. But his record is really just okay.

I think Cerrone wins easily but no way would I lay 3 to 1. I think the jump from Strikeforce to the UFC is giving many of these fighters extra motivation and that could be why why we've seen many upsets. Still, Noons is a bum.

[edman5555]

I hear ya. I want to bet cerrone but Noons has me concerned. If I knew Cerrone was going to take him down I would bet it. Maybe I still will.

I am also considering Bowles. He has been out for 18 months and Roop has been looking decent. I think its a bad matchup for Roop though. Bowles has so much power standing.

Usually when you call someone a bum they lose. Jardine, Vera, etc. However you are also saying there could be an upset. Tough call.

I am convinced Bermudez steamrolls Holloway though. MAybe I should just make one giant bet on that.

[Vandelay]

Only concern for me with Bermudez is his striking defense. He seems to get dropped in almost all his fights. Holloway has beaten a who's who in the FW division so far (Pat Schilling - a scorching 0-2 in UFC before he was cut?, Justin Lawrence - 1-2, and Leonard Garcia - Fuckin awful and he arguably lost this fight). He also doesnt possess much power so barring this rail thin 145 pounder with questionable wrestling and bjj just starching Bermudez...this one shouldnt be that close.

[Thewisemann]

All my money is currently wagered (Just cashed out 4000) and if undercard bets come through I may put more on Roop+3.5, bermudez and Story. Hell maybe Glover too

[poopoo333]

I don't see how Glover loses to be honest.

[Thewisemann]

Wow definatly shoulda waited til today to bet Maynard

Te huna lands a big punch or wrestles him.

Who do you have in Cerrone-Noons Wiseman?

[Thewisemann]

Not sure. Two fights stand out to me. Cerrone vs Nate Diaz and Noons vs Masvidal. So we have seen Noons struggle against a versatile striker that mixes in takedowns and Cerrone strughle against a boxer. I think Cerrone will probably win but it will be a close fight. I'm on Noons though at +250 I think its a good bet

[Vandelay]

Noons doesnt replicate the pressure that diaz does which nullifies kicks well.

Nice. Thanks. Good point.
