Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Diaz is going to eat his fucking face man. He should be a sizable favorite.

Based on what?

Reach. Diaz should be able to nullify Zaromskis' explosiveness by keeping on the inside. Wear him down with jab-first combos and wait til Zaromskis gets frustrated then capitolize

Thoughts on Hieron-Riggs?

Thoughts on Hieron-Riggs?

I see Hieron taking it due to superior wrestling. Hieron's stand up is good enough to stay with Riggs on the feet. Will be interesting to see a line, even though it will not come out til like the day beofre prob. Riggs likes to use front kicks lot, I don't see him getting to ultilize them against Hieron though bc of the take down factor.

Obvi I meant by keeping on the outside not inside

Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Damn. Robbie Lawler at +205. I'm not sure what to think about that. If he stands with Melvin he's probably going to die but that's interesting.

Also, I really like Nick at that.

Life partner. LOL.

Apparently he was ranked #1 on Cageplay last year. I'm thinking of getting a CP account just to try to beat him.

I never thought I would see someone worse than me at gauging opening lines...


I am thinking of jumping on Lawler for an underdog bet. I think he can win by taking the fight to the mat. Hopefully his ego will allow it.

Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Kind of odd that they didn't throw up a line for the Cyborg fight. . .

Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Looks like Lashly vs. Sims

Veteran Wes Sims, a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 10, will likely step in on short notice and fight heavyweight prospect Bobby Lashley on January 30 at “Strikeforce: Miami” in Sunrise, Florida, according to Sirius Fight Club’s Chris Thomas.

Strikeforce sources told MMAFrenzy.com that the fight was “not confirmed,” but the bout is believed to be in the process of being finalized for the Showtime-televised event.

The Florida State Boxing Commission likely still needs to approve the matchup, but there’s no reason to believe the 37-fight veteran Sims wouldn’t be cleared for the contest. The FSBC last week declined Yohan Banks (2-1) as an opponent for Lashley, saying the fight “wouldn’t be competitive,” then approved Jimmy Ambriz (14-12-1), but that matchup has been scrapped for unknown reasons.

Sims (22-12-1) has won three-straight officially, but hasn’t fought since an 18-second knockout in November 2008. In an exhibition bout on The Ultimate Fighter 10, he suffered a first-round submission to Justin Wren in the opening round of the heavyweight tournament.

Lashley (4-0) made his MMA debut in late-2008 with a first-round TKO of Joshua Franklin, then improved to 4-0 in 2009 with wins over Jason Guida, Mike Cook, and Bob Sapp.

If finalized, the matchup completes the fight card for “Strikeforce: Miami,” which is headlined by Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis for the Strikeforce welterweight title and also features 145-pound women’s champ Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos vs. Marloes Coenen.

Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Question for you value guys.

Why aren't you on Nagy? How does a guy with 0 fights (and a 47 year old with no combat experience to boot) get the -500 treatment. I don't see how this is anything other than 50/50 or maybe Nagy as a favorite. Nagy is the invisible man. But we know he has at least 2 pro fights. Presumably he had at least a couple amateur fights too. He is also not 50 years old.

I don't get it.

Re: Strikeforce: Miami

Ill be on Nagy for 20 bucks for my underdog thing. I dont know shit about Nagy, but Im not betting on Johhny Moron senior.
