Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I agree the matchmaking when not dealing with their "face of the franchise" fighters leaves a little to be desired. But how do you go from giving this guy a title shot to fighting a no name on the undercard that might not even get aired? Mayhem is one of their top Middleweights and I just don't know why in the hell they decided to just up and feed him a nobody after he almost won the title(had it not been for the bell that choke would have put Shields out). I'd be fuckin' livid if I were Mayhem right now, it's utterly insulting.

Agreed. They could've had him fight Robbie Lawler again, or maybe Manhoef, or Scott Smith, hell even Diaz.

And from what I read, they said the Mayhem fight will be aired "in some form". Whatever that means. Maybe they'll show his entrance and a few highlights. LOL

I'll go out on a limb and say Aoki's going to get tooled. Melendez has the stand up and wrestling advantage. It's Aoki's first time in a cage and first time out of japan I believe (could be wrong I didn't fact check that). He also doesn't get his little rainbow pants which much like a unicorn and its horn is were he stores his magical jujitsu powerz.....

but seriously I think the pants help a lot with control for his grappling style and using the rubber guard. I don't see him doing anything amazing after maybe the second round once they're slippery without Melendez just powering out of it. It will be interesting to see if he still retains the ability to go-go motherfuckers no gi err no pants.


3u's on Melendez at -160.


still debating throwing some down on hendo but the line sucks. With shields at +300 I think he has value there as he's still a dangerous opponent. Always a chance he could tie up a guillotine or even get on top but the fight favors Hendo imho. Anything over -250 is risky with hendo.

Anyone who says "motherfuckers" is okay in my book.

Good thoughts on the upcoming fights as well. Not sure I agree about Melendez, but it sounds okay to me. Personally, I wanted to bet Gil, but I thought he'd be the underdog. I just can't bring myself to bet him as the favorite against Aoki.

Keep posting around here and prove you can keep saying meaningful shit and I'm sure we'll start paying attention to you pretty soon.

I took Hendo when the line first came out and got -300.I dont think Shields will ever get Hendo to the ground and on their feet Jake stands no chance imo.Of course at the current line of -400 I'm not sure I'd bet it

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I took Shields simply because the line was so steep on Hendo. Had Hendo still been around -300 when I was able to get him I'd have popped 3u on him in a heartbeat.

Nah, I just like the word "motherfuckers" and use it frequently so I feel a kinship with others who have an affinity for it.

Is that a crime?

Luke, you're not backing my play here. . .

I was just reacting to the reality that I've noticed someone has to prove themselves a little bit around here before anyone actually responds to what they say. Have you not noticed that? I sure as hell have.

Anyway, if you didn't notice, I complimented the motherfucker. I liked his post and I said as much if that wasn't clear.

Is Matchbook legit? It looks kind of questionable from what I'm reading in the FAQ's.

Its the most legit book out there.I rate them over bookmaker ,thegreek,or 5dimes. Whats your questions?

They dont usually have lines posted this earlier but there lines are usually better than anyone else's.I wouldnt use it as my main book for MMA because theres not always alot of liquidity but its definitely a must have to get good lines at times
