Strikeforce Dallas June 18th

[Vandelay]

I am not saying he has good hands... but they aren't horrible. He went like 6-0 as a pro boxer. But I am just saying, he is probably at least as godo as Cormier there. Cormier mixes it up better though IMO.

Also, watch Monson vs. Roy Nelson: http://vodpod.com/watch/1452837-marc...-vs-roy-nelson

Monson doesn't have shit off his back. He did well standing with Roy though... not really sure how he got the decision in that, Roy clearly won IMO.

I did watch that fight before i posted the first time. Roy's standup looked pretty bad in that fight. I guess now that I think about it Roy really only has an overhand right and thats about it. Monson's inability to take him down was a little surprising cause that's how I figured he won a decision. And his boxing record was againsts nobodies with horrible records. Let's not forget that monson is also close to 40 years old...I don't know, I just have a hard time seeing how he wins the fight. Don't see him outpointing corm on the feet, koing him, outwrestling him, or winning off his back. That basically leaves a sub via guillotine or gets mount somehow

^^ agreed. I am going to be all over Cormier. I would still take him at -300. Cormier is the man and Monson has nothing for him.

KJ Noons said on Helwani's MMA Hour that they were told that the winner is #1 contender for Melendez

I forgot to include the *** thing next to the fighter you are most confident to win along with your picks. My **** would be next to Barnett. But it's basically a tie between Barnett and Cormier.

[MMA_scientist]

Overeem to -500 in some places now. That is just stupid. Overeem will probably win, but cmon...

.5u on Werdum @ +290

[Vandelay]

Distance props are out. barnett and rogers to go distance is -420/+300. Werdum and Overeem is -380/+260 and thats come down from over 400. I think theres a good chance that this fight reaches a decision. OR at least better than the odds theyre giving it. Probably will just stay away.

[poopoo333]

I will probably parlay both the GP fights to not go the distance. Rogers is going to tap to assrape, and Werdum is going to be making out with the Strikeforce logo on the mat.

hammered Wilcox at +165

[MMA_scientist]

Surprised at Wilcox line. Thought that would be close to even

[MMA_scientist]

I want to do Cormier/Barnett, but I wonder if Barnett is off the stuff. I am afraid he is going to look like all the pride guys coming over to the UFC for the first time... they all looked like shit fighting without the juice for the first time.

Does the texas athletic commission even drug test?
