He has gotten worse, I got him @ -150.

I'm hoping some last-minute money comes in on Dan. We'll see. If it does, we'll probably be on Cole together.

I don't see how Dan can win the fight, consistently. Dan has a bar brawler striking style, but without too much speed or power. He has "ok" wrestling and some submission skills. Cole is a more technical and versatile striker with better mat skills. My only concern is Cole's guard centric ground game, which does not impress the judges. If Dan just gets on top and works he could take a decision. I don't think he can hurt or finish Cole though. I would take him up to like -180 or so. Such is the flawed concept of "value." Value is in the eye of the beholder.

You're probably right. I did specifically consider that Dan might get Cole down and just stay on top, doing just enough to get the decision. Also, Cole's takedown defense is less-than-inspiring, I think. I remember watching several fights where he just got taken down time after time. He could occasionally defend against them, but not enough to make me confident in his abilities against someone with a wrestling background. Cole should win this one--and I hope he does, because I like the guy--but he's a B-level fighter who's 2-2 in his last 4 and would be 1-3 if he hadn't gotten that last minute triangle on Gurgel.

Anyway, good luck on your picks. Once they are out there, they count. At least you can always just change you pen name and start over.

Thanks, you too. We're not going head to head on anything, so hopefully it's a good night for us both. I also like Rashad in this fight, so if by some chance I am able to get him at -180 or better at some point then I'll be on him, too.

I have seen the lord of the rings movies, didn't care for them.

I am 32.

I like sci-fi stuff, but just didn't care for the flicks. I thought they were visually pretty pleasing, but I am just not into monsters, elves, and warlocks and other shit that generally gets your ass kicked in high school.

Although I do like ninjas.

I literally cannot believe what I'm reading.

It's about the story that is told, not the medium in which it's presented.

But whatever, lol. Maybe we should just stick to MMA.

I did not care for the story. Too many warlocks, not enough ninjas IMO.

I will not begrudge a man his ninjas. I personally have a particular fondness for this guy:




With that said, I love LOTR and think it's a great ADVENTURE story.

Too many? So, like one or two would be okay, but any more than that and shit's just gotten out of hand?

lol. I just think the warlock/ninja ratio was off a little. I would have preferred more nijas, that is all I am saying.

Even one ninja would help.
