UFC on Versus 4

[Thewisemann]

I should have hit Cheick Kongos line but I am kinda hooked on waiting until the last day to place my bets. I am also a little trigger shy. I feel my big loss has to be coming.. As far as the lock of the card, I am not so sure about any of them. I feel Daniel Roberts should be able to handle Rich attonito but who knows what will happen. Dave Branch was able to do it.

Roberts gassing concerns me.

yeah your right about john howard

No longer hampered by illness, Daniel Roberts looks to shine at UFC on Versus 4


Apparently Roberts was sick going into 129. I read somewhere he gassed against Petz as well though

Did anyone notice how much fat Morecraft lost and muscle he packed on from the Struve fight to the McCorkle fight? Kid is going to show up swole against Meathead.

Christian Morecraft needs some arimidex.

why in the heck is his right nipple 5x bigger than his left (in the picture)?

I disagree with you about Mitrione Scientist. He has some decent wins but he has been bigger than his opponents so far.

I understand what you are saying, but I think Mitrione would beat the brakes off of Struve. Jones was bigger than Mitrione. I just think Mitrione has a clear edge standing, and working with Roufus, I expect his striking to look even better. Morecraft may be able to get him down, maybe not. Even if he does, I don't think his edge is so big as to make a huge difference in the fight. Morecraft is not a wrestler or bjj whiz... he is just a big guy with decent, but not overwhelming skills. It is not like it is brocky or something where he has a high level of skill on the ground to go along with his size. That said, I am probably not going to bet Mitrione here.

^^Jones was bigger than Mitrione, but Jones was also ragdolling Mitrione to the mat at will basically before gassing/getting KTFO

Yeah, and that is what I think will happen in this fight. Morecraft may make it competitive for a while if he goes full steam ahead... but guys that big cannot maintain that pace for very long. If he goes bananas on the takedowns, he will be done after a few minutes. And during that time, he could eat some strikes from Mitrione while going crazy. I just don't think Morecraft has viable path to victory, other than go apeshit and hope something happens. Maybe he gets it done in round 1 though. I think Mitrione is going be throwing a lot of kicks, so he might get taken down every round. I think Mitrione is very light on his feet for a big man, his technique looks good standing and he has big time power. His weakness is his wrestling, but I don't think Morecraft is wrestler enough to exploit it.

i never bet on guys like mitrione its sad society gives him the license to do what he does. ok the you got hurt in college thats fine but try to sell everyone that your something that was just a matter of percentages of the 300 million because you're not your just one of those guys in the gym that comes in loud flaunting bread crumbs that somehow fell through society and landed on you. he's one of those guys that you are just quiet when he's in the room but you wait till fight night just hoping you see see him in pain. later you hope you see him the gym and tell him good fight and you were rooting for him but as you walk away you smile to yourself inside because the truth is you were never rooting for him in truth you're doing the opposite the whole time even trying to set it up against his favor. You never root for guys like him in life you cant, there is nothing there just random mutations just background noise reverbing through cells you just sit back, watch with waiting eyes and just wait, wait then when you see the inevitable the one moment you knew was coming because it always comes some later then others but it always comes and when its on them you just smile to yourself and say yeah I knew it guys like him just are a matter of time then in front of everyone. thats when you feel most alive is when the universe finally wakes up and gets what you almost saw coming to him and you knew deep inside the whole time even encouraging him you knew the whole that you were going to stick around waiting for that to happen.

Exactly.

lol wut...

[edman5555]

I think he was saying he wants Mitrione to die in the ring.

Early thoughts. Lentz lauzon and Lamas all are looking good
