Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds

Hmm... I am thinking Rothwell is a good bet. Yvel has lost to middleweights (Jeremy Horn and Hendo). I haven't seen those fights, but based on those names, Yvel was outgrappled. I think a 265 lb Rothwell will be able to avoid Yvel's power and win a decision. Anybody agree/disagree?

I have 2 units on Ben. Gilbert is just too damn one dimensional. And i think Ben knows he NEEDS this win. No need to screw around and needlessly trade with Gilbert.

You are going to have a good night if Thiago and Barry both win.

I have never seen him look like that. He put in some serious work for this one.

Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds

Add Liddell to my streroids list.


I would be all over Rothwell BUT I can't really recall him going for a takedown right away. He always trades. Rothwell is legitimate. He was top 10 at one point. I really think he will win, but I am scared to bet it because I fear all of his Duke Roufus training (that's where he trains now, he dumped MFS) is going to make him want to show off his kickboxing. He still might win a striking match, but its at least close there.

Good point. What do you think about the Pyle/Lennox fight. I thought Pyle would be the favorite for sure but he is @+105. Am I missing something?

On Cro Cop / Barry:

I really dont think you can compare resume's anymore. Cro Cop is just not the same guy, not by a long shot IMO. I think the guy has checked out for a couple years now. For me, its not that Barry is that much better, I just think Cro Cop has looked like shit for years, and all the talk about him being healthy finally, is the same shit he has been saying since before he got wrecked by Overeem.

I think that everyone see's lennox as this strong as an ox terminator that cant be submitted. I feel Pyle has better technical boxing and will submit lennox eventually

Yeah, I think that is the popular thinking on Lennox. Pyle has a few tricks up his sleeve, but I personally do not think his grappling is all around that great. He definitely doesnt have the kind of next level grappling you need if you are going to rely on your submission skills alone. If he can't catch him in a triangle, he loses. I think Lennox will take a close decision.
