UFC 133 : Injuries

[SPX]

Pierce did pretty well in the stand up against Fitch. He was beating him up in the third if I remember correctly.

I remember he dropped Fitch. Was Fitch taking him down per the usz?

Why is Natal going to beat Bradley? I kind of like Bradley here to suffocate.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. But I am just gonna pass. The fight is at 185? And Paul is a 170 lbr.

[sbjj]

Pierce is pretty much just a little better version on Hendricks IMO.

Ask a guy that somehow mixed up Paul Bradley and Kyle Bradley anything.


son of a fucking bitch

I originally bet on Hendricks but I think it is a very close fight so I got out of it by betting 1u on both guys @ even money. Fight is hard to cap for me.

Interesting, I was thinking the opposite. Hendricks is a slightly better Pierce.

Yeah IIRC rounds 1 and 2 were all Fitch like fights.

I think in a year you will be right Scientist. But IMO, right now Pierce is just a tad ahead of him. I think he will be landing more, and just pushing a little harder than Hendricks.

^^Fitch vs Pierce

I am gonna get out of the Brown bet if Phan hits +175...I don't trust Brown and I regret that bet...unless somebody can convince me otherwise.

I am getting out of the Natal bet for sure. I will probably bet Bradley to cover the Natal bet and some more...I think he is going to win.

Thanks for the vid.

Pierce definitely seems to be a straighter puncher and better at keeping his chin tucked and staying in the pocket. Wrestling is about even, slight edge to Hendricks. Neither man will hold the other down. I see a lot of clinching and this fight is going to a decision unless Hendricks clips him. If they offer a decision prop I might take that @ -200 or better.

Don't see how Phan can beat him except possibly by decision if Brown stands and trades. Phan has no power, his TD defense is average, and his bjj is not enough to submit Brown. If Yahya can't sub him despite being a shell of himself, Phan isn't. That said, Brown has looked shitty lately. BUt that is the reason his line is at -175 and not -600 where it would have been prior to Yahya. He is going to win IMO... but I am not betting him either because something is clearly wrong with him.

I am worried about Bradley being undersized/taking this fight on like 10 days notice too. But at least we don't have to worry about him making a hard weight cut since he is fighting up a weight class in only 10 days notice

Seriously...this card sucks dog dick for betting
