Tony Ferguson vs. Ramsey Nijem
Chris Cope vs. Chuck O'Neil
Ed Herman vs. Tim Credeur
Fabio Maldonadovs. Kyle Kingsbury
George Roop vs. Josh Grispi
Scott Jorgensen vs. Ken Stone
Daniel Downes vs. Jeremy Stephens
Justin Edwards vs. Clay Harvison
Shamar Bailey vs. Ryan McGillivray
Reuben Duran vs. Francisco Rivera

[SPX]

Damn, Pettis's line all the way up to -260 at Sportsbook.

I think Pettis will win, but that's pretty crazy. -155 is looking like a steal right now.

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, I can't resist it anymore. I am going to throw down a bet on Guida if Duran wins.

Pettis is exciting and good, but Guida has beaten way better competition, and he has a style that is hard to stop. Pettis just barely edged out Bendo, and IIRC, he would have lost had it been a 3 rounder. On top of that, Guida has the big show experience.

[Thewisemann]

Same here, if Stephens wins.

[SPX]

Yeah, Pettis barely edged out Bendo, but I really believe that Bendo is FUCKING GOOD. He just soundly defeated Bocek, who some people think won in his fight with Jim Miller and who easily beat Hazelett. In fact, I'm thinking of taking Bendo as a dog against Miller because it would not surprise me at all to see him win that fight.

Guida wins to the guys he's supposed to win against and loses against the guys he's supposed to lose to. And he's supposed to lose this fight.

I like Guida. I am a fan. I like to watch him fight and I usually cheer for him. But his biggest win in the UFC is either Gomi or Dos Anjos, depending on how you look at it. And neither Dos Anjos nor the Gomi of today would have ever been WEC champ, I don't think.

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, but Guida has always show flashes. Even way back when he fought Tyson Griffin and Huerta. He really should have won both those fights. He seems to gotten some consistency by joining a camp. The fan in me wants to see Pettis win, because he has a more exciting style. But I just don't see how this fight is anything more than a coinflip, or even slightly in Guida's favor. Pettis -200 is flat out wrong IMO. But then again, Guida does lose all the time. He rarely just gets smoked, but you are right that he has come up short in the big fights in the past. He wins the re-builders and bombs out as a headliner.

[Luke]

Guida only beat Anjos because of the broken jaw , he was clearly down 2 rds to 0 going in to the 3rd, not that it matters .......just saying

[Vandelay]

I like the over 2.5 rounds in cope vs o'neil. two guys with limited power and good chins.

Actually, now that you mention it I think he DID beat Griffin. Shitty judges on that one. And he was on his way to a win over Huerta for sure. And back in SF he apparently beat Josh Thomson, though I never saw it. I agree that these are all impressive performances. I do think he's a good fighter, which is why it pisses me of when people talk shit on him, like zY calling him a "glorified can."

I just don't think he wins this one, but we'll see.

BTW, if you really think it's a "coinflip or even slightly in Guida's favor," why haven't you already placed a bet on him? If you're right, his line has held value from the beginning and has only gotten better.

Naw, Pettis won rounds 1,3,5. So in a 3 round fight it would have been 29-28 Pettis

[poopoo333]

I think Pettis is going to win easy, and I never like betting against the established top control decision winners.

So if tonight doesn't suck for me, I will be in the + for MMA again yayyyyy

edit: Actually I am since my Garza sub of night bet wasn't tracked @ UFC 129. I forgot about that.
