Strikeforce: Columbus - Mar 5th

[MMA_scientist]

If Manhoef does have a weakness, it's on the ground, as five of his eight MMA losses have come by submission. Kennedy, though, seems intent on standing with Manhoef.

I seriously hope Kennedy is just talking nonsense.

Tim Kennedy is being a f*cking moron saying he is going to KO Manhoef. I really hope he doesn't try to be a crowd pleaser, he was complaining about the "boring fight" he had with Jacare.

LOL, I didn't even see this post when I posted my last post

Tim Kennedy is completely delusional. He still thinks he won the Jacare fight. Standing with Manhoef is a dumb idea, considering how poor he is on the mat. That's not to say it can't be done. He's very hittable and has a suspect chin, but his offense standing is supernatural.

If Kennedy doesn't walk out and shoot immediately then I will be pissed. He will get his head taken off.

I am thinking about arbing out.

KEnnedy is really good but Manhoef could knock out a horse. I might put TK in a parlay for a small amount.

[edman5555]

Kennedy vs manheof completes 1 round is +150 on bodog. Gotta love this fucking shit. It reminds me of the last fight were I bet Reinhard/Zhang to go over 1 round at +200. I need to redeem myself here.

Main card:
Rafael Cavalcante (204.5) vs. Dan Henderson (204.5) [LHW title]
Marloes Coenen (135) vs. Liz Carmouche (134) [WW title]
Tim Kennedy (186) vs. Melvin Manhoef (185)
Billy Evangelista (155.5) vs. Jorge Masvidal (155)

Preliminary card:
Roger Bowling (170) vs. Josh Thornburg (170)
Jorge Gurgel (155) vs. Billy Vaughan (152.5)
Jason Riley (259) vs. Jason Freeman (221.5)
Ian Rammel (180.5) vs. Brian Rogers (184.5)
Marc Cofer (185) vs. Mitch Whitesel (182.5)
J.P. Felty (170.5) vs. John Kuhner (170.5)

Jason Riley has a huge size advantage of Jason Freeman.

Is Billy Vaughan a featherweight moving up for this fight? This was also on short notice, no way a real LW would be 2.5 lbs under weight.

Ian Rammel is 180.5, obviously didn't have to cut weight. He is probably a welterweight when he regularly fights, he also took this on short notice.

Serious question why are you talking about arbing out all the time anymore? Are you southbaysurf?



Or are you just doing it to get out of bets?

[poopoo333]

To get out of bets. I have been making bets on opening lines on fights that I didn't do a lot of research on yet, where I am confident that will shift that will give me an arb opportunity. Every single bet I have made like this, the line shifted like I thought allowing me to possibly do this. However, I did my stuff that made me want to bet Kennedy, but I have a bad feeling about him wanting to "put on exciting fights and KO Manhoef"

[poopoo333]

Wow, for some reason I've had Jason Riley mixed up with Devin Cole. I thought the line was off and I started to look at it and realized I was thinking of the wrong guy

[Svino]

Kennedy might just be an idiot, but I'm not too worried about his comments.

When fighters are asked about their gameplan pre-fight, I think they're really more likely to say the opposite of their actual plan than they are to say anything else meaningful.

[Luke]

the Hendo line has been dropping like a rock, its down to -150 now. At -230 I wasnt going to bet it but now I think its a good bet.

Anyone with any ideas why the line is falling so fast?
