Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I sawi t at some point, but can't find it now. Hague won. The judges screwed him. But it was a sloppy gas fest. Very similar to the Conrad fight last night. Some takedowns by Tuch before the gas went. Then a lot of one punch combos.

I've got it on my hard drive if anyone really wants it. Absolutely dreadful fight.

Nah, that's OK. Thanks for checking, guys.

I like to bet wrestlers, and Tuscherer has a good record. I just... haven't actually seen him look good.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I was going to put a small bet on Tushcerherererererererererer over Schaub because of the whole wrestling thing, but fuck that. I just watched the Hague fight for the first time and TUshererererer is horrible. Even if he can take Schaub down and control him he will gas out anyways. Schaub is athletic enough to stay competitive and outwork him. Tucsherererer's striking sucks too. Even in the first round before gassing he seemed to have the technique of Marius Pudzianowski. If Schaub gets down to -325 or better I will take him.

Sotiropoulos/Pellegrino...any input?

Wow, really?

Hmm. . .

This one comes down to whose wrestling is better. I'd say Pelegrino has what it takes to win this one but at decent underdog odds George is not a bad bet at all. He owned Joe Stevenson in a big way.

I'll take George all the way to -250

Dude, that's crack head crazy. Batman is no fucking joke.

So you think George wins this fight ~72% of the time?

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

I still don't buy Sotoripoulos. I think Stevenson just didn't show up. I am not betting it, but if I were, I would be on Pelligrino. Actually, I will probably be on Pelligrino @ +150

Yes, I do. He wins on the feet and the ground. If he is on top, Batman is in trouble. Off his back, George can tie him up with rubber guard. Pelligrinos only way I see to win is a top control decision, maybe he will catch George in something but unlikely. Sotiropoulos will sub him in the 2nd round I think, RNC.
However, I dont think he will be -250, probably -140 or so.
Damn, I always get called crazy for my picks on these forums.

He's going to OUTSTRIKE Pellegrino? That I highly doubt. If it stays on the feet, Kurt wins by decision, I believe. His striking has improved quite a bit in the past several fights, which is to be expected as he's training with Kenflo.

George does not have impressive striking. He has impressive grappling.

Ok, maybe the striking will be close, but Sotiropoulos did outstrike Stevenson.

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Anyone considering going to this fight? July 3rd is my birthday and I have tickets to the fight... was going to sell them, but I can be coerced to keep them and go to Vegas . . .

Re: UFC 116 discussion/matchups

Schaub is @-320. I think he is going to win easily.
