UFC on Versus 4

[flyinggogoplata]

I wouldn't bet it but if you do I guess the value is on Javi. Joe probably takes it 29-28 split decision.

What do you guys think of Daniel Roberts Vs Attonito? Attonito is coming down from 185.

[MMA_scientist]

Joe should win, but he had a lot of trouble with Sotiropolous' rubber guard, he could't do anything from the top without getting tangled up in that omoplata, the few times he was on top. I think he will take Javi down easily if he wants to, but Javi does nothing from bottom except go for the omoplata from rubber guard. It continues to not work, he continues to do it. Anyway, Joe has had trouble with it before, he might have trouble again... On the flip side, it will probably just force him to scramble up and get more takedowns which may actually help him.

This all assumes that Joe wants to win the fight, I could totally see him try to stand and box the entire time.


Personally, I think Joe will take it, but it will be close.

Could go either way, I favor Roberts. I think Attonito will want to try to stand.

[edman5555]

Yeah I feel like Roberts will be the stronger guy with better jiu jitsu but I am not sure who the better wrestler is.

[MMA_scientist]

Attonito definitely has a better pedigree, but he has not used it that well. Roberts is also a pretty good guard player though. But Attonito seems to hit much harder.

from arielhelwani:

"My cab driver is telling me Pres. Obama is staying at the fighter hotel tonight. Tons of security there. Coincidence or brilliant planning?"

Also:

"There are hundreds of people at my hotel dressed up as animals. Some kind of “furries” convention. It’s very, very weird"


President Obama (with associated secret service), UFC event, and furry convention all co-located. Awesome.

That does sound pretty fantastic.

good read about marquardts weight cut

[SPX]

Interesting read. If that's true about Marquardt working to bulk up for every fight at MW, then that's pretty crazy.

I really hope he wins. I wish his line was better. I really think he can win this if he fights smart.

[poopoo333]

I really hope Brown wins a decision. Winning a +1042u bet would be nice.
