I will probably be losing on Shaolin again. I need to look at Wilcox, but Ribiero is still a very good fighter IMO.

Anyone in the universe should be able to beat Wes Shivers. He is the downsy looking guy from TUF 10.

Seems like a gimme fight for Zaromskis.

I don't trust Zaromskis as a massive favorite, which he will be. But yeah, Spiritwolf is tough, but not in in the same league as Z

Spiritwolf is tough. I will probably bet him if he is a big underdog, I think it is worth it in a slugfest.

I don't know much about the engine but he's 9-8.

He has beaten some pretty good guys though. Also you can't hurt injuns... they are like samoans, you can't knock them out.

Zaromskis -265? Anyone think that's worth a bet?

Re: Strikeforce Challengers 12

Zaromskis seems like damaged goods nowadays. After getting his ass beat by Diaz he looked like shit against Cyborg last time out and he looked way too nervous about pulling the trigger. Diaz may have sapped a bit of his will to let loose or something because he did too much circling and not enough anything else against Cyborg.

So no, at -265 I would stay the hell off Zaromskis at least until he shows us he can still do his thing.

Re: Strikeforce Challengers 12

I went ahead and got on Zaromskis. Maybe I'll hedge it if I get uncomfortable enough.

Re: Strikeforce Challengers 12

Did some research on Wilcox. He is a D1 wrestler, and a professional body builder. Really explosive, but green. Ribiero will sub him IMO, but Wilcox is live. He could win a decision here. The striking is probably about even, Wilcox has the takedown edge. Ribiero obviously has the grappling edge. I wouldn't bet Ribiero, but if you want to see a wrestler vs. bjj guy, this is it. The only question is whether Wilcox will try his luck on the ground... Since his standup is not that great, I think there is a good chance. Still Wilcox is probably the play here.

Re: Strikeforce Challengers 12

Got out of the Zaromskis bet. I really had no business betting that fight. I really don't know Zaromskis that well and know next to nothing about Spiritwolf.

How did you hedge out? The line hasn't shifted.
