Yeah, we see it basically the same way. Bocek was also handling Miller on the ground and probably should have gotten the decision imo in their fight as well. I think this fight will either be a close one with Miller pulling off a decision, or Oliveira winning decisively and having a true "coming out party".

I seriously do not recall Efrain taking a round from Oliveira. You sure you are not thinking of the Efrain-Dunham fight.

I remember Oliv beating Efrain all rounds on my scorecard, but the judges gave Efrain R1. I think Oliveira may have pulled guard and Efrain got top position. You know how incompetant retard judges will evaluate that.

Oliveira went for a takedown but actually ended up on his back to close out round 1. For some reason I keep thinking Escudero got the TD and stayed on top, even after watching the video again the other day. Escudero did stuff Oliveira a couple times in that fight, but in the 3rd round Escudero kicked him in the balls and Oliveira went apeshit afterwards fighting like a malfunctioned robot before throwing Escudero against the cage and slamming him down. So if Miller kicks Oliveira in the balls at least once, Oliveira should win for sure.

SD gave Rd 1 to Efrain. It could have gone either way

The grappling was somewhat competitive when it happened... I think Efrain nearly took his back at one point.

I think it is best to stay away from this fight, but I might take Miller if it gets up to like +140 or +150ish.

Thinking about:

Not Kos by Sub/Not Danzig by sub/Not Alves by sub/Not Miller by sub/Not McCorkle wins in rd 3

4 to win .91u One more -1500 line would get me to about -275

What in that might happen? I think the weak link is McCorkle...

Re: UFC 124: GSP vs. Koscheck II to take place in Montreal

I don't see McCorkle finishing in round 3. If that fight is even remotely competitive and makes it to the 3rd round, McCorkle will be dead tired.

So what might lose? Where is the flaw?

McCorkle has never gone to round 3 before. I figure if McCorkle wins, it will be by top control or KO. If it doesn't happen in 10 mins, it probably won't happen. But then again, they are HW's and of all teh weightclasses, HW's seem to have the most 3rd round KO's (Mir/CC, Duffee)...

I was responding to your "weak link" comment. I think that parlay will hit. The most likely prop in that parlay to hit is Miller by sub, but only because I don't know how Oliveira's sub defense is (assuming it is good), and Miller is a black belt/NCAA div 1 wrestler and Oliveira is a brown belt.
