UFC 131 JDS vs Carwin

[Luke]

I have a proposition. A new contest.

A true test of capping skills . . . not chasing skills.

I'm in

BTW we pick just fighters to win .............not parlays .........not one fighter parlayed with 25 other parlays .............not props , just fighters

And BTW for anyone else you'll have to go ALL the way to bookmaker to see the "fake line" I posted on JDS-Cain

I knew the line was real, why would anyone post a fake line anyways? Makes zero sense.

[SPX]

X, acting like nobody knows that was over the line is ridiculous. Of course we do, we were trying to make light of the situation so it doesn't blow up unnecessarily.

We bullshit about a lot of things around here. You wanna talk about someone's mom? Fine. You want to talk shit on their taste in music or movies? It's not a bannable offense. You want to talk shit on someone's tiny Asian dick? Okay.

But that's all in good fun. Insulting someone's capping skills is serious business.

Truth be told, I think we're all too used to being dickheads around here. Are we all friends or not? If not, get the fuck off the forum.

[Luke]

I think Carwins takedowns are pretty damn slow. He had to of been alot faster in his early twenties when he won the d2 championship or whatever. Both dudes had good chins, I didnt think Carwins would hold up. I ended up going pretty big on JDS but didnt post the bet so it doesnt count. Florian looked pretty bad to me, Herman has a hell of a chin and Einemo was pretty damn good himself, Maia looked pretty good, Munoz chin sucks, Cerrone has no power, Rocha is decent. That is all.

I'm not sure what happened to Maia after rd 1 . I thought Herman and Einemo both looked bad but I only saw rd 2, agree Florian looked bad

Exactly .Why would I waste my time posting it if it wasnt real?


I was going to ask for line predictions but seen the line pop up so there was no need for that

Let's do it. I'm in.

And you run the shit like last time because I don't think anyone else is going to do it . . . apparently.

[Vandelay]

Herman has a chin made out of granite. He took some bombs from einemo that a lesser man would have gotten koed by. Einemo looked good in the standup and was able to take down herman. However he pushed the pace too much and gassed pretty badly in the second round to the point that he stopped fighting back and the bout was called. He should probably drop back down to the 235 lb range.

I can do that

I had a bet on Herman and really thought I was going to lose it. Einemo was winning that shit then . . . boom! The tide turned as it often does in HW fights. I was happy.

Neither guy looked awesome, though.

Set it up.

And where was poopoo? Zak? MMAscientist?

[Luke]

Set it up.

I'll try to find the last one and set up a in or out thread tomorrow

[SPX]

Cain sounds like he's a little unnerved.

BTW any time I see "AOL" attached to anything I'm always like, "That shit's still around?"

[sbjj]

I would also favor Cain over JDS...IF he was not coming back off the layoff/surgery. I will most likely sit that one out.

Wish i would have bet JDS even harder than I did. this was one of the semi close lines where the gap is so great in skills that do not come around that often.
