^^any thoughts on the new lines ?

What little wrestling there was was very back-and-forth. If Okami controlled him, it was only for a minute.

I remember feeling that the fight was dominated by Marquardt's fear that Okami was going to put him on his back and Sonnen him. Okami won the standup, but I don't think he would have won an actual kickboxing match.

The Pyle/Almeida fight is interesting. Almeida is a better grappler, but Pyle looks like his wrestling has improved A LOT. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pyle win it on top position and cardio. Pyle should also have a striking edge.

I think a lot of the dogs look good. Actually, the only dog I don't think has a good chance is Wineland. I don't know much about Nkoujani/Barboza, so I will defer to you there.

Not your type of fight to bet on anyways.


I think Pellegrino might be a decent bet. I expected him to be a favorite (he opened as one), and now he is the underdog. I didn't see the Pyle/Lennox fight yet but he definitely has the momentum from dominating Hathaway.

I was thinking the same thing about Wineland for a while Scientist but I now think Faber will take him down(wrestling) pretty easily. He is a staller skinney guy. Faber will be a thick beast with a well rounded game. The odds got shitty though, Faber opened at -195. I hear what your saying about Barboza PP but keep in mind he is very green. I won't be betting it so I'll be rooting for you on this. A couple of lines haven't come out yet incase you guys haven't noticed. WTF? Are they coming out or what? Benavidez is a guy I plan on betting on.

They don't usually come out until the Tuesday of fight week. The books seem to be quick on releasing the prelim lines when the fight is on facebook/ION/spike

Marquardt opens @-175 SPX

Marquardt opens @-175 SPX

Yes, I saw that. Motherfucker. I really need to get my 5d account refunded.

Now he's at -350. That's fucking horrible.

[poopoo333]

Yeah, all my money is tied up on 5dimes right now lol. I hope my bets on 5 dimes come through, I don't want only Bookmaker
