UFC 127

[SPX]

Well if that's the case they need to go ahead and free my money up pronto so I can bet it on something else.

I dont even have a guess ? Do you?

Well I don't think there are any "big names" available right now. Paulo Thiago is injured. Mike Swick has AIDS or something. Jake Ellenberger is medically suspended for 6 months IIRC. Carlos Eduardo Rocha is coming off of a loss so I am not sure that even makes sense. Johnny Hendricks is available, but he is coming off of a loss. Maybe Charlie Brenneman?


edit: How about the guy in my avatar?

I wonder who they can get to replace Condit?

Yeah that is true. Condit is a nasty finisher though. I guess the fight going the distance is a def possibility but at - odds I wouldn't do much on it straight up. Maybe a parlay.

you can't see Condit finishing Lytle? He can hit pretty damn hard.

Lytle has never been finished. He has been stopped twice by cuts... but never legitimately stopped in almost 50 fights.

^^ werd. I might hedge it with Lytle by submission.

[poopoo333]

agreed, both guys are damn near impossible to finish. I cannot see Condit finishing Lytle at all. Maybe Lytle could finish Condit, but I think you are right, I am going to make that bet

[MMA_scientist]

Does anybody here think Condit/Lytle won't go the distance? -145 for the fight going the distance looks good to me. I don't see any of them finishing

Lytle .8u to win 1.36u

[edman5555]

condit finishes like 90 percent of his fights. Lytle is crafty though so I wouldn't be suprised to see it go the distance. I won't be betting it though.

I think it's very possible that fight doesn't go the distance.

I do think it will be difficult to either guy to finish the other as both guys have most finishes via sub, and neither guy has been subbed much (Lytle has never been subbed in his career), but they're both skilled in that regard and they both also clearly have the ability to knock guys out, too.

I guess -145 isn't bad for that prop, but when I think of fights that have little chance of not going to a decision, this isn't one that really comes to mind.
