What are you talking about? Is Utah even allowed to have fireworks ?

They dont allow UFC events so what else is on the forbidden list?

We can have fireworks. . .

What the hell do you see on this card?

I'm considering not betting a goddamn thing again.

I'm considering not betting a goddamn thing again.

I'm already on Carwin and Bonnar.

Also considering:

Akiyama: More technical striker and better grappler than Leben. I think the biggest thing is that he'll be at a slight size disadvantage and he'll have to look out for those heavy shots, but with the way Leben's been fighting lately, he may bring more skills than just that on fight night. I liked Leben at better underdog odds, but at this point, I think there may be value in Akiyama. Leben is a great journeyman with a well-rounded skillset but he doesn't usually beat higher level fighters.

Lytle: Lytle is similar to Leben in that he's a pretty well-rounded, skilled fighter who specializes in beating mid-level guys. Brown's turned out to be surprisingly good, but I just have the feeling he's going to be one step behind in this one. I like Lytle up to -150 probably.

Pellegrino: Tough fight to call, in my opinion, as George has looked pretty beastly lately, but Batman hasn't been doing too bad himself. I am not convinced that George will have the striking advantage. I see it being more even than that. And I'm not sure that he's going to be able to outwrestle Pellegrino as he's accustomed to doing. Pellegrino's wrestling is quite good. I like Kurt at +135 or better.

Grove: I really need to get a hold of the Reljic/Dollaway fight, but from what I've seen of Reljic, I'm really not super-impressed. I probably like Grove at the current line on this one. My biggest concern would be Reljic landing a big shot that makes Grove turtle up, as he is apt to do.

Harris: Don't know much about his opponent, but Harris is great and has already run through two undefeated guys, so he can do it again.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Are you confident in Carwin and Bonnar or you just betting dogs on perceived 50/50 fights?

I like Akiyama too and I'll probably take him if his line keeps improving. I forgot Lytle was on this, good call. I hope we get a favorable line on this. Batman as an underdog ain't bad. He's got a good shot at controlling George I think. And yeah, Grove should win as long as he doesn't get hit really hard, which is always possible no matter who he's facing.

Maybe I just forgot who was on this card. It's fairly underwhelming.

They're both value bets, although I really think Carwin might prove that he should've been the fave all along. But on the other hand, Brock could also steamroll him. So in that sense, I'm calling it 50/50. I got Carwin at +170, which I think is a good price.

As for Bonnar, I'm banking on him being pissed off and ready to show that he still deserves to be in the UFC. Honestly, I think he's going to lose. But at +190, maybe worth a small play. Either that, or stay away.

I'll be looking to see what they open at on Bookmaker and Bodog. If George is going to be that much of a favorite, I'll be on Pellegrino for sure. Something's going to have to happen with that Lytle/Brown line for me to touch it, though. Neither guy's particularly attractive at that price.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

That Lytle line sucks. He went up fast.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Everyone thinks Lytle's gona take it? Damn. I think being a fan of Matt Brown blinds me from seeing how he'll lose.
