What do you know about Weidman?

[poopoo333]

He has a strong grappling background. Google him, there are a lot of articles about him. The only thing I am worried about is that he might not be able to apply his grappling skills to mma well

Sanchez/Kampmann goes distance: -300
Dollaway/Munoz goes distance: -230

Sanchez/Kampmann goes distance: -300
Dollaway/Munoz goes distance: -230

There's no way I'd take either of those at those lines.

[poopoo333]

Sanchez/Kampmann is down to -230

Mike Hammersmith is picking Sakara to win via 1st round stoppage, FWIW.

Maybe I'll take a look at Lucio Linhares. That went 2 rounds. If he is tired there you might be right.

This is the reason I am gunshy about this fight. Both guys are coming to grapple, so I am looking forward to it (too bad it is on the undercard for some unknown reason). But Linhares was actually getting the better of Palhares in the grappling department until he got subbed. Branch has a long and lean build like Linhares, and he is really good grappler himself. Everyone thinks Palhares is just going to take leg home, but don't be surprised if Branch's heel hook defense is on point. Too bad they won't offer a distance prop, because you could probably get pretty good odds.

^^Is that going to be apart of one of your parlays?

No. Because it could happen. Although neither Kampmann or Diego has ever been subbed, they have several submission wins bewteen them. I save my parlays for things that flat out are not going to happen. Like if Diego was fighting Hardy or something... then I would do "not Hardy by submission"

[poopoo333]

The way I see it is that Linhares engaged in a grappling match with Palhares in round 1 and whatever time there was in round 2 before he got subbed, which gassed Palhares out. Palhares slowed down against Horn, and I am pretty sure that was fairly one sided IIRC. He also slowed down against Hendo as well IIRC. I think Branch will be able to hold his own on the mat, and if this turns into a faster paced grappling match on the floor, I am sure Palhares will significantly slow down and Branch will be able to capitalize. Branch probably won't be too easy to take down either, he was stuffing Harris as well

[SPX]

Branch was outwrestled by Harris all three rounds before being put to sleep.

Just saying.

[poopoo333]

Speaking of Gerald Harris, he lost his fight this weekend

[MMA_scientist]

Looking at Cantwell here. Maybe Page.
