Re: UFC 117

I looked at Morecraft a while back. He is a big athletic heavyweight, a Todd Duffee type. But I think the line is about right. He looks like it is an all out blitz or nothing. I did see him fight a few times... he looked good, but then again, he hasn't fought anyone. I think Struve will have superior technical striking, use his reach to tire Morecraft out and finish him in the second. Morecraft is a pure question mark after the first. I don't see an anonymous athletic HW as a coin toss with Struve. Struve may not be elite, but he is good. He has beaten some quality guys.

No ones worried about the 6 inches height adv or the big reach adv for Saunders?

I think it has a lot more to do with we're getting 2:1 on Hallman.

Hmm. You're right. I just looked up his height. Midget vs Giant. I have a feeling Hallman is going to be working soley for takedowns though. That is kind of his gameplan all the time. Which can work.

Re: UFC 117

Marcus Davis is 6 inches shorter. That is probably why Saunders could catch him with his knees so easily. They are practially at head level when extended.

So who here thinks Chael sonnen can win this? I give him a small chance.

Re: UFC 117

So who here thinks Chael Sonnen (R-Or) can win this? I give him a small chance.

Anything can happen in a fight and I love to take dogs but I'm the person that doesnt take a dog unless I think he has a 50% chance of winning .I dont think Sonnen has a 50% chance of winning so its a no bet for me.

Am I going to bet Silva at -385? I'm still deciding that

Re: UFC 117

If Saunders gets Hallman into the clinch it could be a real bad night for Mighty Mouse.

Re: UFC 117

^^ lol.

That's why I say that. I though Maia would win before the fight. Since Nate put him away so quickly, it left alot of questions. So I have to go with what I thought would happen before they fought...

It is a lot like the Fedor/Werdum fight or the Mir/Kongo fight. They happened too fast, and I don't think any of the 3 could replicate the performance, but least of all, Nate.

I agree .Thats what I meant

Re: UFC 117

I think @+200 or better, Hallman has value. But I hope Saunders wrecks him, I like Saunders a lot. But I might put a small bet on Hallman, I have to watch Saunders' fights again, and some more of Hallman's if I can find them.

That is really the only spot I see a lot of danger for Hallman. Hallman knows that though... hopefully he well take his steroids before the fight (Hallman has been busted before) and Saunders will not be able to muscle him around.

Well at the press conference during the stare down Anderson for the first time in his career tried to bully and intimidate Cheal. This is the first sign of weakness. Cheal has already got Anderson doing things that he isn't used to doing. Cheal is bating Anderson into fighting differently and getting him in the wrong mindset. This was the first of many signs that Cheal is truly in his head.
