UFC 171: Lawler vs Hendricks

[Luke]

Yeah, I came in to see what people thought about Story vs. Gastellum. I was surprised to see Story at +155. Apparently, Gastellum really wanted this fight in particular. He must think he can wrestle up Story like Brenneman did, but I don't know.

I need to see the size difference at weigh ins before I pull the trigger on Gast

Yeah maybe gastelum can outwrestle him but who knows if he can. Sure story has been outwrestled befoere but he still much more experienced that gastelum and hits incredibly hard. The brennaman loss was a while ago. Maia is a top dog so its hard to say the maia loss really makes him look bad. He lost to pyle mainly because he followed him into his guard after dropping him iirc. Ebersol is actually a d1 wrestler so thats a hell of a win. He blasted quinn mulhern. I findit odd he is a dog. Nobody has ever knocked him out so its probably not going to be easy for gastelum to do that. Basically gastelum has to wrestle fuck story for the win. Maybehe can do that but its tough to say.

Gastelum has done well so far but his win over uriah hall was barely gotten and hall has no wrestling background. He knocked out melancon but melancon is small for 170 and retired after the fight. Oh and he is also coming off a torn pcl and he hasnt fought since august. So about 7.5 months. I will look for story with points.

I just picked up diego with 3.5.

This is a good read. I am really thinking Diego is going to kill this kid. Maybe I am wrong, counterpoint anyone?

I don't think Diego is going to turn into some super technical striker over night. He landed a punch on Melendez, ok, and Kongo almost KO'd Velasquez that one time. I still think Jury is a better striker, and he has better takedowns too. That said, Diego has a good shot, so I can't quarrel with the bet.

Alright maybe ill just play it safe and stick with the points.

Don't listen to me, I don't even watch MMA. I was just giving you the counterpoint you requested.

I gotta say, even though I think Hendricks is going to steam roll Lawler, its pretty impressive that He went from Brandon Vera status and climbed back up to a title shot.

Since my theory has always been that there is no such thing as a late career surge without the use of PEDS, I have to stick to that here. Lawler is cheating, that is the only possible explanation.

Hendricks, Gast, and some no body all missed weight

[Svino]

Damn, there was crazy value on Strickland by sub at +650. Would have bet it if I had 5d :-(

[poopoo333]

I need to update my sig when I have like 2 hours to kill. Whoops/

[MMA_scientist]

So what time is this on?
