Ufc 130

[Luke]

Why are not interested in it?

1. It's a title fight.
2. These guys have unfinished business, and there's drama in that.
3. The last fight was balls-to-the-wall awesome.

because he's gay for BJJ and neither guy is a BJJ guy

It was probably my most anticipated event for the foreseeable future.

!

+1 here and I dont get excited about too many fights

TUF finale is a week after UFC 130. They should bump Pettis/Guida to PPV

Edgar is a brown belt and his main team is Renzo Gracie. I just don't like the way he fights these days... it is all point scoring. There are worse guys to be sure, but I just don't get too excited to see him fight, it has nothing to do with bjj.

I am probably the only mma fan that doesn't care about this fight, but with both of them injured that means we will see it eventually. I would have preferred to see one of them injured and Pettis get his promised shot instead. It does ruin my magic parlay though...

It probably means that Torres will get bumped up to the main card where he should be and we will get props on that fight though, so I can add that.

I agree with the boring part.

.5u to win 1.1u on Hammil
1u to win 1u on Nelson
1.25u to win 1u on Stann

So far.

[SPX]

But it's SBG Global so I'm sure no one here will actually be able to bet this yet. . .

[poopoo333]

Yeah I am not betting that fight.

If I can get Browne at +130 then I'll probably drop half a unit.

If I can get Browne at +130 then I'll probably drop half a unit.

If I can get him @ +130, I will actually be on him pretty large. Bad matchup for Struve IMO.

[edman5555]

Stuve aint bad. He is still young also. He has stated that he wants to bulk over then ext couple of years so I would expect him to be a little bigger than his last fight. He is 6'11'' as it is.

I don't know anything about Brownes BJJ/wrestling. Do you know anything?

He is big so I assume he won't be easy for Struve to take down if he wants to go that route. Struve is pretty good off his back though, if browne takes him down. I could see Browne outstriking him or muscling him against the cage. I think the latter would be effective. He did well against Kongo but he was just kinda winging crazy punches. That is sort of dangerous IMO. Struve has ko power.

Rampage isn't working with Mike Dolce. I am watching the MMA hour and Helwani said Rampage started this camp at around 255 lbs and Dolce said he is working with Alves and not Rampage for this fight because Alves had a contract with Dolce and before the contract was signed Rampage told him he was waiting until after Rashad/Shogun fought to fight. It obviously didn't work out that way. When Helwani asked Dolce about how Rampage was gonna make the weight, Dolce kind of made a "lol" face and beat around the bush.

At least judging by the Kongo fight, Browne's wrestling seems to have improved. He looked like shit against Mychal Clark in Bellator, but it looks like he's scaled up his abilities to the UFC once he joined the organization. He took Kongo down twice, though it was late in the round both times and he didn't do much with it.

What's the deal with Mike Dolce? Wasn't he the dude on TUF a few seasons ago who wasn't all that great?

Is he now some super-trainer to the stars or something? I've heard his name so much lately.

[poopoo333]

He works with the fighters with their nutrition throughout the camp/the weight cut/the rehydration.
