Re: UFC 125

^ I forgot about Stephens/Davis. I think Stephens wins that pretty handily. Davis got old all of the sudden.

I don't think Davis got old so much as he started fighting better competition.

Hardy's pretty damn good, Saunders was too tall, and Diaz looks like he's going to be better at 170 than he is at 155. Somewhere in the middle there he fought Jonathan Goulet, who he TKOd.

Re: UFC 125

He gassed in the diaz fight as well. Claimed it was overtraining which could be true. He cuts very easily also. He isn't bad, he has good hands. I think Jeremy's wrestling will be an issue for this fight as well. It should go a way towards wearing out Davis too. Davis's most feasible path to victory IMO is to end the fight in the first or second round. After that he might get worn out from the weight cut and pace of the fight. Stephens can wrestle him and I am sure he will. Why would he want to stand with Davis?

SPX made a good point about the competition getting better, I didn't think of that. All in all I think Davis's problems are as follows (age+weight cut+weight cut for the first time) + Jeremy stephens standup power + Jeremy Stephens wrestling ability.

Anyone disagree?

Re: UFC 125

I think you've got it wrapped up pretty tightly, Edman. No arguments from me. I wonder what the line will be.

Re: UFC 125

Possible bets: Edgar or Maynard by decision, Guida, Roberts (to -180), McKee (to -250), Diaz.

Why Guida? (You didn't give that fight it's own little "bullet")

Re: UFC 125

I haven't done all my research yet, but I'll probably be on Maynard, Silva, Hyun-Kim, and Gomi.

Because I think Guida will put him on his back and wail on him. Gomi has been looking like shit for a few years now. He scored a KO over Griffin, who decided to kick box with Gomi for some reason. So now everyone thinks Gomi is back. I don't think he is, I think Guida will rough him up and Gomi will fold.

He is at -155 now, which I think is bettable. I am going to wait though.

This was posted 2 days ago, so 12ish days out from the fight. Leben stated he needs to cut about 30 lbs.

Re: UFC 125

^^^^^LOL at 30lbs.

[edman5555]

What if he is making it up.

[poopoo333]

What if he is making it up.

Then he doesn't really have 30 lbs to cut.

[edman5555]

Scientific.

What is the key to winning your fight against Brian Stann at UFC 125 on New Year's Day?
Getting a lucky punch would be great but he's a good boxer and he's going to come out throwing big shots. He's not so good on the ground, though, so my plan is to capitalise on that and take him into deep water in the later rounds when he's not packing so much power.

[poopoo333]

The rest of the lines are out. I would post them if I wasn't on my phone. Roberts has a good line imo, hopefully it holds when it opens on bookmaker or 5dimes

[MMA_scientist]

I think Roberts is good at -115 and I like McKee a lot at -180

If zak didn't kill the forum we could have a discussion about all this.
