UFC on Versus 3 March 3rd

sakara is a brown belt in bjj isnt he?

[MMA_scientist]

I can believe he is a brown belt, he has only been submitted by Lister, who would also submit 99% of blackbelts. But he has not shown a very good ground game or a willingness to fight on teh ground at all... There is a difference between your run of the mill brown belt or black belt, and high level competition guys. Sakara has been training bjj for like 10 years, so he should be at least a brown belt, assuming he trains somewhat regularly.

[edman5555]

Yeah I am just thinking he might have enough overall skill to win. He has 30 fights, other guy has like 4.

[poopoo333]

I think we will probably get Weidman as an underdog.

Another injury for this card:

Cub Swanson out at UFC on Versus 3, promotion seeking new opponent for Erik Koch

[trotterz]

KOch would have been easy money. Sure shot and he would have probably been around -200

[poopoo333]

Yeah I was curious to see the line on that one. Anybody look at the prelims yet on this card? I kinda wanna get an early start. The one I have really been looking at has been Tavares/Roller. At first I thought Roller could just out grapple Tavares but I'm not sure anymore. Roller ends up on his back often for such a high level wrestler against lesser grapplers then Tavares. Tavares is aggressive, and seems to try to put people on their backs often. Tavares can push the pace, and I think if he does Roller may gas (when Pettis pushed the pace Roller gassed). Tavares is probably the better striker as well. I want to watch Tavares/Griffin to see how he did against another wrestler.

I just realized this shit was on Thursday. Time to start doing more research and stuff

[edman5555]

Tavares is pretty good IMO but I don't know much about Shane. If I can get Tavares as a Udog I might bet him.

[edman5555]

I will prob be on Diego and Rousimar.

[poopoo333]

I'll be betting on Diego as well most likely. As for Shane Roller...he was a 3 time all american NCAA div 1 wrestler (Oklahoma State).

[edman5555]

I will be betting Diego by decision. Hopefully it won't be a fucking draw this time. God damn.

[poopoo333]

The bets I plan to make: Sanchez/Kampmann go to decision, Munoz/Dollaway go to decision, Chris Weidman

Bets I might make:Tavares (although I will get fucked betting against a wrestler again), Igor Pokrajac, and Cyrille Diabate.

[SPX]

I really think Kampmann is gonna beat Diego. Kampmann has looked awesome lately and I think he'll have the size and strength over Diego to bully him. But we'll see.

Yeah I hear you. I'm not 100 percent confident in that. I might go with what Poopoo is saying and just bet the fight goes the distance. Or maybe I'll just bet whatever High5 bets.
