UFC on Versus 5

[sideloaded]

what is with all these shitty lines coming out lately??

[Ludo]

Thats a tough call. He may have the power to put Amir down but Amir will be the bigger guy with the better striking. This fight kind of reminds Me of Scott Smith's last fight. Of course he could pull it out with a good shot or two but Amir might just confuse him the whole time by throwing and landing from everywhere.

i'll be on ludwig. not sure if his line will get better than +245 tho. doubt it

[Ludo]

Sadollah's odds are pretty crappy but I think he takes this one regardless.

odds for the sadolah-lugwig are out

they are both good. Benavidez is really small though. Personally I thought Faber came close to beating Cruz. It wasn't really a 50-45 IMO. Cruz kinda reminds me of Edgar. He wins but he doesn't really do a lot of damage. Faber messed Cruz's face up and dropped him with punches. Cruz landed more punches though. He plays to the scoring system really well.

I'm kind of concerned about Benavidez having a hard time with Winelands reach standing, am I giving Wineland more credit than he deserves here? I keep thinking about Benavidez' last fight where he struggled with Lovelands reach for alot of the fight.

Yeah, that is what I keep thinking about too.

What does everything think on Benavidez/Wineland? I'm kind of leaning Benavidez but I don't know if he's going to be able to do to Wineland what Faber was able to do in the second and third rounds.

I think Benevidez is better than Faber personally. I think Benevidez will win if he comes to grapple. But even in a stand up fight, I think Benevidez can win.

Scientist, is this any good?

I think that just means he is the PA state champion. That really means nothing. He probably only had to win 1 or 2 matches to gain that title.

yeah i hear you. I would have to see some evidence of Hettes Judo or BJJ prowess. If he was some sort of champion that would make me feel good about him getting caceres to the ground. If he is a dog he will be worth betting on. I have a feeling the line will be pretty close though.

I hate making bets on fighters without videos too. I really try not to do it, that's how I lose my bets. That used to be my biggest mistake when betting on non UFC/Strikeforce cards. Looking at records is just dumb to me now

Some info on Hettes:

http://jimhettes.com/about/

I can't find any fight videos though.

It is tough to make a bet without having seen the guy. BUt I do not think there are many lower level fighters in the UFC than Caceres. Based on that resume, I may very well make a bet in the blind on Hettes. He sounds like he has the style to beat Caceres.
