Re: UFN 20 Bets

A. Simpson -260: 2.5u
G. Harris -265: 2u
J. Silva +145: .5u
Dos Anjos -340: Still waiting to see if I can squeeze a little more out of this one. 3u
A. Sadollah -160: Still trying to convince myself on this one. 1u

Maynard for 3u, eh? I have this universe balancing thought in my head that he's due to win... but...

Re: UFN 20 Bets

5U on A. Simpson @ -250
5U on Dos Anjos @ -305

1U = 1% of bankroll

I think Maynard has improved dramatically since the first time they fought and it's pretty obvious at this point that Diaz has a problem with strong wrestlers. After watching Diaz/Guida and Diaz/Stevenson, it seems to be that Maynard is the only logical choice.

Why did you bet on Harris? I did as well, but it's kind of a leap of faith. There's not a whole lot of info out there in Salter.

Re: UFN 20 Bets

Brad Blackburn +135 (6.5u to win 8.775u)
Rory MacDonald -215 (4.3u to win 2u)
Nate Diaz +245 (2u to win 4.9u)
Evan Dunham +210 (2u to win 4.2u)

Depending on how WEC goes I will be adding to MacDonald.

Couple reasons: (I don't promise they are good ones)

1) I put 2u on him because that was the minimum bet I could place. I'm playing with dollar bills right now while I learn.
2) He's on a little bit of a run
3) I like his style. According to Wikipedia, he called into a radio show where Dana White was a guest, told him about his streak, and scored a 4 fight contract. I think he'll want to show Dana it wasn't a bad move.
4) I've read opinions on a few forums that he was worth a small bet.

... that, and just trying strategies out :)

Re: UFN 20 Bets

Even though I have a small bet on Silva, WAR LEBEN!

The flamboyant Chris Leben made a name for himself as the most controversial and outspoken personality on The Ultimate Fighter due to his tough-guy attitude contrasted by his propensity to shed tears. Leben's life story unfolded on television and those watching could see the the drunken train wreck that took place. Shortly after the show, the 29 year-old swore off alcohol and rebuilt his life around mixed martial arts. Unfortunately, since the transition, Leben has not experienced much success.

Now 8-5 inside the Octagon, Leben believes if he loses to Jay Silva at Ultimate Fight Night 20, he could be released from the UFC. The Oregon native is coming off two-straight losses and is a dismal 2-4 in his last six outings. Knowing what is at stake, Leben is prepared to lay everything on the line Monday Night.

"I'm going to fight my heart out," said Leben. "I love to stand up and bang with guys. This is a make it or break it for me. I have to lay it all on the line. When it comes Monday night, I'm going to go out there with bad intentions, I'm going to go out there with the belief that if I don't win, I go home. I'm not in the UFC anymore and that's not what I want. I need to win. I have to win. Expect some fireworks Monday night."

"The Crippler" is set to fight Jay Silva (5-2) who lost in his UFC debut against CB Dollaway at Ultimate Fight Night 19. Silva is primarily a striker but Leben is confident he will reign supreme wherever the fight takes him.

"If it goes to the ground we'll go to the ground," Leben said. "I see this fight as, he's tough all around but he's not really great at any one area."

Re: UFN 20 Bets

Why is that fight on the undercard?

Re: UFN 20 Bets

Probably because Leben has been sucking lately and no one knows who Silva is.

Well I've been gunning for Harris to get into the UFC for a while now so I hope like hell he wins this fight. He's a fucking bad ass. He should've got a shot after TUF, but shit happens, I guess.
