Ill bet.

I think I will be placing a bet on Tito Ortiz. I watched/fast forwarded through Shlemenkos fight with Hector Lombard and he was taken down every single round. He was also taken down multiple times in the first round of his fight with Brennan Ward. From what I can tell he is small for 185. Tito should have a solid size and wrestling advantage here. Its also only three rounds...tito might not gas. Im just mad I missed him at +1150 by decision. Im going to wait until tomorrow to see if his line gets better. I think I am the only person betting on him.

I just watched the weigh in video and Ortiz has a legit size advantage over Shlemenko.

Does Tito have the explosiveness anymore to take him down? Im not so sure. That said, Im not betting on Shlemenko, but I really do like him in this one.

That's a good question and I don't know the answer. I rewatched his fight with Forrest Griffin and he took him down a couple of times. That was a little under two years ago and apparently according to tito it was a few weeks after having his meniscus removed. God knows with him, its so hard to tell. From the interviews I've seen with him and from as much as I can gather he should be in decent shape for this one. What I am hoping for is Tito being able to get ahold of him and drag him down to the ground with sheer physical strength and wrestling ability. I know what you mean about the explosiveness though...he needs to close the distance.

Keep in mind that tito is cutting from 220 with very little fat on his body( I know he still gasses) and Shlemenko weighed in at 201 with a little bit of belly fat. Bjorn claimed he walks around at 190 and he barely cuts to make 185. I am guessing that Tito has about 25 pounds of actual non fat bodyweight on him.

[Mr. IWS]

Great call on Tito edmann! So glad I stayed away from that one.

I fucked up and though that the Mo/Rampage fight was 5 rounds. That factor, pushed me over the top to take Rampage.

Im glad the judges didnt reward Mo for basically trying to hold Rampage down the entire time, but Im so used to the way these fights are scored, I had Mo 29-28 at the end of the fight.

[Svino]

I thought Mo and Chandler both won.

But wow, another +800 dog hitting.

[Luke]

Had live bets on

Brooks
Rampage

[edman5555]
