I can't bring myself to use that name, so I call him by his proper name, I think he said he had enough on BJ to win 5U, so about 30-35u.

Veach screwed me. But its just a scratch.


Silva was pissed because Maia wouldn't bull rush him. Silva wasn't pushing forward even in round one or 2. His taunting was just a lame attempt to get Maia to play bull to his bullfighter. Silva is a counterpuncher. He was afraind to come forward because he did not want to get taken down. Even bigger fan of Maia after that. I think he took round 4 and definately took round 5. Everyone is talking dominance, but no one is mentioning that Maia took a round off him, something that has been done only once in the UFC. And he did it on his feet. GSP will beat Silva.

I gave rounds 1&2 to Penn, 4&5 to Edgar. 3 could have went either way. Definitely not a robbery, though I probably would have given it to bj. But BJ fought with a terrible gameplan. Why didn't he test teh waters on the ground? He is world champion blackeblt fighting a purple belt. Silly.

Speaking of horrible... that card. Worst fights ever. Ultimate ammy kickboxing at its worst.

Everyones on my GSP bandwagon now.

It was a bad card

Re: UFC 112

Brutal day for me on this event. The ultimate in dick-teasery, I was getting the play by play on sherdog via my phone, and they said they scored it 49-48 for BJ. I checked back 20 minutes later to check on Andy, and they said BJ lost. Talk about a kick in the nuts, I started calling people just to make sure it was true.

I watched the fight late last night, and I do think Edgar won 3-2, so I didnt have a problem with the decision. Something was up with BJ in that one, he didnt look right.

Props to wiseman, great call. And to zY, you had Edgar pegged for his boxing, and you were right on. I know you didnt pick him to win, but you were on point with his boxing, and I didnt give him credit for it at all.

Thriller was supposed to post my unit on Silva and Holyfield, but I havent gone through the thread to see if he posted it. I thought I posted Silva yesterday, but I didnt. I know I had him up the other day, but didnt put him in the plays I locked in.

Someone teach Renzo to switch stances or check a kick please.

As for Silva, I dont have a problem with him toying with his opponent. Its boring, but if Dana or any other fighter has a problem with it, go in there and take him out. Otherwise, this is what is going to happen. The guys that try to engage him get obliterated (Irvin, Forrest, Ace, Leben, etc) The guys that hang back, they get picked apart, and the fight is boring. Just my 2 cents.

All in all, I dropped 9.25 units on the event. I am going to start betting more fights now, as you guys reccomended I do. On to Strikeforce (go Hendo!)

On a side note, I look like a complete jackass, as half my face is sunburn, the only part that is not, is around my eyes, because of my sun glasses, and half my forehead, because I was wearing my hat backwards. Perfect day yesterday.

Re: UFC 112

Sorry Zak, that sucks. Not about your sunburn though, I think that's hilarious.

I still think Penn won, especially if you use 10-10 rounds effectively. Rounds 1, 2, and 5 are very clear. 3 and 4 seem to be the contentious rounds, and they are extremely extremely close. Still though, enough rational people scored it for Edgar that I can't really complain. Doug Crosby's 50-45 is inexcusable though. This seems like he new Shogun/Machida to me. Not giving Penn an immediate rematch is disgusting.

As for Silva, yeah I found the first two rounds pretty entertaining as well. He looked downright scary in there, although a bit petulant. You could tell Maia was petrified. After that though, Silva wasn't doing anything at all. That's the ridiculous part. It's like he was throwing his own personal tantrum in there.

Re: UFC 112

^^^^^ I had BJ winning round 2,Edgar 4&5 and 1&3 going either way so it could have been 48-47 either way.I think all 5 rounds were close though

Heres the fight metric on the fight ,they had Penn having the edge

http://fightmetric.com/fights/Edgar-Penn.html

As for Silva his fights are just boring ,they always have been .He wins so theres nothing Dana can do.Danas trying to hard to be an entertainer like WWE than a sport imo

[zY|]

Re: UFC 112

The thing about fightmetric is it's just some guy counting. Not all strikes are equal. Also that report only shows Penn landing a single lowpower strike(jab) and Edgar only 2. So what, these guys were out there winging nothing but power shots? Bullshit. It's a decent tool but Its just that. The site is also run by Penn nuthuggers. They have BJ winning every fight ever and undefeated.

Re: UFC 112

Riding the dogs on this one:

Grove: 1u to win 1.1u (obviously should've waited on this one, but I though Grove would become the favorite)
Edgar: .25u to win 1.31u
Dos Anjos: 1u to win 1.85u
Maia: .25u to win .81u (definitely should've waited on this one; taking him at +325 seems like a joke now)

+1.91u for the night.

First off, I am shocked that Edgar won. I personally scored the fight for Penn, but as zY said, enough competent people scored it for Edgar that I'll roll with it. Either way, it was close, and it's the first time in a while that Penn's face actually looked a little fucked up. Edgar really is the little engine that could. Still trying to figure out how it is that the world hasn't exploded.

Dos Anjos came through for me also, thankfully. I am very disappointed in losing the Grove bet, though. He looked good in the first round and I was hoping for more of that.

As for Maia/Silva, yeah, the fight was kind of boring, but Maia did engage. He was much more active than Leites was when he was in the same position. And he really tried to turn it on in the last round. Unfortunately it was just too little too late. But if anything it made me an even bigger Maia fan.

Re: UFC 112

I was surprised Munoz won too after seeing the fight. I really was feeling bad after round one ended that I had bet on Munoz. But it seems like Grove chokes on the fights he's supposed to take and wins the one's he's supposed to lose... It's wierd.

Re: UFC 112

Went 2-3.

-3.7 units. Bad night. Matt Veach, I don't know what even happened in your fight, but screw you!

Congrats on the win.

Once Grove was down and took a few shots he just couldn't recover. If he had been able to get back to his feet and shake the cobwebs out then maybe he could've taken control of the fight again.

Oh well for me, I actually hear Munoz is pretty decent guy outside of the fight world, so I can't be too pissed about him losing.

Re: UFC 112

I had Gracie winning round one as well, simply because he kept snapping that jab between Hughes' hands. But I think the first round was all about feeling each other out.

I thought Gracie clearly schooled Hughes in the first round. The fact that anyone would score it differently shocks me.

On a side note, did Hughes really when a fight via his striking?

On a side note BJ Penn's loss set Me back 6.7 units.

Sucks bro. You'll rebound.

I remember that. That's a bridge jump, right there.

I feel bad for the loss. I'd straight be on suicide watch after something like that. I'd be 100% completely irrational.
