Re: UFC 111 odds / Discussion / Bets

UFC's Thiago "Pitbull" Alves will not fight at Saturday's UFC 111, because a CAT Scan shows an irregularity in his brain ... TMZ has learned.

Thiago was scheduled to rumble with Jon Fitch on Saturday -- but a pre-fight CAT Scan revealed an irregularity -- a source close to 26-year-old Pitbull tells TMZ the irregularity involves an artery in the brain.

UFC honcho Dana White tells TMZ he will fly Pitbull to a specialist for further evaluation. White says, "If it's true, it can be career-ending."

No one will replace Pitbull on Saturday. The headliner is Georges St- Pierre -- ironically, the fighter who solidly beat Thiago in his last fight last July.

Damn. How do you just *now* detect an irregularity in someone's brain, days before the fight?

Anyway, hope this isn't a career ending thing for him. I like to watch Alves fight . .

Because the commission does tests to clear guys to fight. Sucks for him but it's probably better than him fighting.

Well fuck!

I was really looking forward to making some money off that fight.

Oh well, at least if it gets rescheduled then I know to wait until Fitch's line gets up to +140.

Absolutely... getting smacked in the face and have a hemorrhage in the brain wouldn't be a good thing.

I guess I thought these things are more detectable... through previous medical procedures or just symptoms that would crop up. Brain/artery issues - to me - would probably manifest in slurred speech, reduced reaction time, headaches, etc.

But then again, one punch to the side of the head in training can really f things up...

Kinda scary.

Ellenberger who was suppose to fight Saunders will still be paid show and win money for the bout he was supposed to have

Holy SHIT!

That's fucking crazy. Saunders VS Fitch?

I'm tempted to jump on Fitch here, but I actually think I'm going to hold off and let Saunder's odds go through the roof and put a small bet on him. If Pierce can get Fitch in a bad situation then so can Saunders.

Good for Ellenberger. I was really looking forward to that fight, though.

Yeah Saunders could put Fitch's lights smooth out, but more likely he's just going to get taken down and Fitched.

Re: UFC 111 odds / Discussion / Bets

Just put 1u on Saunders @+265 on 5dimes. It dropped to 240, now back to 250.
