20u on Kimbo against a guy he has a huge chance to lose against?

I think(hope) he's still trolling.

Re: UFC 113

Yeah cause Mitrione totally didn't knock the shit out of two guys on that show whereas Kimbo got knocked out in under 15 seconds by Seth fuckin' Petruzelli. Not to mention Mitrione cuts to 265 whereas Kimbo walks around at 230lbs with a knee that's about to give out at any moment.

So Matt Mitrione didn't permanently damage Scott Junk's eye with punches? He didn't knock Marcus Jones out while moving backwards when they fought? Don't kid yourself. Kimbo's brawling "stand in front of you and trade bombs" style plays right into the hands of the larger and more powerful fighter. This is far from easy money on Kimbo.

Don't forget that Meathead has a hell of a chin as well.

It was a joke obviously. Just like Luke (I think it was Luke) and I stated we had a bunch of money on Tim Stout in a thread while being sarcastic. But if I WERE to actually bet on this fight, I would bet on Kimbo.

And I was not trolling when I said Rosholt would submit Horn and was not trolling when I said Koscheck will (T)KO Daley!! You should know by now weird stuff happens in MMA (Frank Mir TKOing Nog, Cain KOing Nog, Gonzaga knocking CC out with a head kick, Griffin submitting Shogun, Kimbo Slice getting a fighter's back, etc).

To say that it CAN happen and to say that it WILL happen is two very different things. If you say that either of those could--and possibly would--happen then I'm sure we'll all agree with you. But to say that they WILL happen is just foolishness.

Ok well Koscheck is going to TKO Daley anyways.

That's probably less likely than Rosholt submitting Horn. . .

^^not really. He'll take him down and brutalize him against the cage.

Yeah, Kos via GNP isn't that unlikely at all. But I think Daley MAY be a little overrated as as striker. I am pretty sure Nick Thompson was outstriking Daley. Daley just seems to have really heavy hands.

I was more thinking (T)KO initiated from a strike on the feet.

Re: UFC 113

Anyways, back on topic. How do you guys see the line moving on Shogun/Machida?

I expected money to pour in on Shogun as the soon as the line opened and thought Machida would get to about -135 or so. I was wrong. So I don't know.

Re: UFC 113

Yeah I was a bit confused to see the line favoring machida after the first fight. Not sure why everyone seems to think that much has changed since that fight. Machida didn't look very good that night. If shogun can stay patient and punish the legs and body with kicks like the first fight I see him winning a decision.


Be on Shogun if the line gets a little better. If anything it should be an even line with a slight favor to Shogun.


Also I'm all over belcher. He's a much better fighter than Cote whose really only shown he has heavy hands.

[Ludo]

Re: UFC 113

I wouldn't call Belcher a better fighter than Patrick Cote... If it weren't for a huge layoff and the recurring ACL injury I wouldn't be putting money on Belcher. If this were pre UFC90, I'd be betting Cote to murder Belcher.

[Luke]

Re: UFC 113

^^^ what he said expect for the part about Cote murdering Belcher .I think it would have been a good fight even then.I'm still on the fence on this one ,still leaning Belcher though
