UFC on Versus 5

Nothing really jumping out at me.

What do you giys think about Castillo vs. Volkmann. Castillo just beat a midget wrestler in Stevenson, and also has a win over Poirier. Is Volkmann going to be able to hump his way to a decision?

[edman5555]

I was wondering that too.

[MMA_scientist]

Stevenson did take him down several times, but Castillo was winning standing and nearly finished him. Stevenson gave away the fight by jumping for guillotines repeatedly.

I don't know, initially I thought Castillo should win, but now I think Volkmann may be able to grind him out. Now I think I should stay away.

Side note, Volkmann and Lentz are basically the same exact fighter.

How is Figeroa's takedown defense. Reinhart sucks and is old, but he is a wrestler and Figeroa is a kickboxer.

Cole Miller should win. Two long jiu jitsu guys, but one of them is better and also has better striking. I am kind of surprised at his line though.

yea, i think the line sucks.

As for Figueroa. he seems at the least to be a tough guy that can fight everywhere for at least 2 high paced rounds. I think he smokes Reinhardt. But that line sucks also.

I will not bet Castillo, because Volk. is one of those guys that seems to be much better than I believe him to be.

Scientist, I have a job for you and I(and anyone else). lets come up with a 2 fighter parlay for this card. We have some shitty lines here. But they are not in the stratosphere.

We should be able to sniff out a 2 fight parlay that pays around -130 or so.

[edman5555]

lines suck. Apparently Bookmaker figured out that Bruce Leroy sucks.

[edman5555]

Figueroa was taken down by that Macdonald kid over and over in their fight.

[sbjj]

Yea, but Macdonald is a young kid who is fast and very talented. Macdonald would beat Reinhardt in under a minute.

C. Miller/Benevidez is the best combo I can come up with. It is -122

Those are the only 2 favorites I have confidence in. Here is my rank of the other faves:

CB- Hamman is big and rugged, and CB tends to get tagged a lot. I do like C.B. more than the rest of the list.
Figeroa- a kickboxer facing a wrestler. Figeroa is probably too athletic and will be ok and find his spots, but still, the fear is there.
Amir- I fear he will stand and get KO'd Johny Hendricks style.
Vemola- fighting an unknown Nova Uniao BJJ specialist who just beat Filho. Vemola is strong, but not a wrestler. I am afraid he gets taken down and subbed.
Hettes- never seen him fight, but Cacares is a can. He did stuff a few takedowns on TUF though.

[Ludo]

I'd go with Vemola and Dollaway for a decent parlay, or a Dollaway/Noke play. Both of which pay out better than even odds at the current lines.

[Ludo]

Vemola is a wrestler, Scientist. He's actually a 6 time Czech Repub. National Wrestling champion. From what I understand that part of the world has some of the best wrestlers on the planet, but I don't know if thats true or not.

[MMA_scientist]

^ I actually think Herman is going to beat Noke. So that is a no go for me. I am concerned about Hamman's athleticism.

[Mr. IWS]

Im liking Hardy in that one.

fuckin bulz on that gif
