TUF 13 Finale

[poopoo333]

But the guys in the WEC who have really given him problems have been guys who are known to have very good technical boxing--Wineland and Hominick. I don't think Grispi falls into that category.

Maybe because Roop has only fought strikers in the WEC: Wineland, Hominick, Garcia, and KZ. The last time he fought a good grappler he got ragdolled like a little school girl (against G Sot).

Was Grispi's poor showing just a one off thing, first time in the UFC and all, or is he just all hype?

I don't think it has to be one or the other. He's a very good fighter, but that doesn't mean he's the best.

Well, to be clear that was at a higher weight class.

How he'll do against grapplers at 145 is a question mark.

He did beat LC Davis and Mark Hominick though. I mean, he has 14 wins, with 13 wins in the first round. He has some KOs. At some point, it stops being a fluke and starts becoming a pattern.

Roop has been subbed several times, so I think his plan is to stay outside and stuff shots and use his reach. I don't know, I am just going to have to see the line. I was thinking he was good up to -250, but maybe X has it more accurately capped at like -170 or so. I think I will probably still look at it under -250... if it comes in more than that, I am definitely out.

What do you guys think about Stephens/Downes?

. . . but maybe X has it more accurately capped at like -170 or so. I think I will probably still look at it under -250... if it comes in more than that, I am definitely out.

I would say I'm erring on the side of caution with that line. Maybe he just comes in and destroys Roop inside of two minutes. But I have been burned too many times in the past where fighters take a bad loss and for some reason have a string of fights afterward where they just don't look like they used to.

^Horodecki vs Downes. Downes had like 3 days notice


Can't find Downes vs the chinese guy though

Not liking much on this card. Stephens and Jorgensen should win, but there lines will be too high. Grispi is a finisher, and should beat Roop, but the price will be too high. Maybe a parlay of those 3. Rest of the fights are toss ups.

[Thewisemann]

But shit, bmaker doesnt allow parlays on fights.

But shit, bmaker doesnt allow parlays on fights.

Someone said the other day that they just started, but I haven't checked it. . .

[poopoo333]

They have been allowing them like 3 hours before the fight start

Badass. War Pettis. Definitely one of my favorite fighters in the game today.

[poopoo333]

Missed Kingsbury @ +100, that sucks

[SPX]

Yeah, those lines suck.

[poopoo333]

I am surprised Stephens line isn't higher
