Carson Beebe vs Joe Murphy
Steve Carl vs Tyson Steele
Jeff smith vs Jerrod Sanders

I am curious what fitchs line will be.

I like gunderson to beat lauzon. Lauzon is mediocre and coming off a long layoff.

Not sure about volkmann beerbohm. They are kind of similar.

Volkmann probably takes it, Beerbohm is crafty on the ground but Volkmann has been incredibly hard to submit by anyone not named Paul Sass lately.

[SPX]

Not named Paul Sass or Bobby Greene, you mean. . .

[Ludo]

I forgot about Greene.

[SPX]

I didn't. That fucker cost me 5u.

Lines are out and they are insane. Value n cobb, burkman and fancy pants. I probably wont play either of them. Tough calls. Gaethje js a beast. Its hard to bet against fitch put paying -550 for him is a but much. Especially when you consider what burkman just did to a train.

I wouldnt be suprised if beerborn just straight up beat volkman.

[SPX]

I don't know about value on Burkman. His run has been impressive but I think Fitch is going to Fitch the fuck out of him.

Fitch beat Burkman back in 2006. Burkman has always done pretty well against wrestlers though. I would say he has gotten better and Fitch is fading. I might bet Burkman. I never bet a UFC vet going into a smaller show for the first time.

Same thing goes for Volkmann, he is talking about retiring if this doesn't go well. Beerbohm is decent and he always has that McKenzietine in his pocket

[edman5555]

Yeah both lines are off. I don't know if I agree with you about Fitch fading. I think the quality of his competition has gone up considerably in the past few years. His last four opponents were maia, erick silva, future champ and BJ penn.

I don't trust Volkmann after his performance against Bobby Green. He almost got choked out by efrain escudero as well. Sass tapped him out. He'll probably win but Beerbohm is a good grappler and Volkmanns game is pretty much one dimensional.

[SPX]

Edmann, why you say there's value on Cobb?

[edman5555]

I don't know, hell probably get knocked out. Gaethje is a good wrestler but i figure he is still a little green and cobb might be able to pull off a submission. I wouldnt bet on it though.

[edman5555]

I just looked up their records and cobb has about 27 fights to his resume. This will be Gaethjes 9th bout. Theres a big difference in experience level and competition level. Cobbs been fighting good fighters regularly for a long time and Gaethje is just starting too. Cobb has 12 wins by submission. I would be Gaethje but I just worry Cobb could get him down and get his back. Gaethje swings for the fences. He hits like a ton of bricks but I could see him leaving himself open and getting taken down + submitted.

[SPX]

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just stay away. At this point it looks like I'm probably not betting anything on this card.

[edman5555]

me neither.
