BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[SPX]

I don't think he would beat many of the top 6 or 7 WW's in the UFC.

Where would you put Penn in the WW rankings right now?

Another UFC card where I have no idea what the F to do. I like Penn, but something about the way he is acting to the lead up of the fight has me nervous. I kinda like Cro Cop, but he is F'n Cro Cop. I liked Mitrione, but something tells me Kongo might hold his ass against the cage for half the fight and get a couple of takedowns for a 29-28 win.

Penn always makes me nervous. But I finally just said to hell with it, he is fighting Diaz. If Penn wants to win, he should win. If he gets drawn into a boxing match, I could see Diaz outpointing him, but I think BJ is a better boxer with a better chin too. He gets to decide whether to stand or not. The only issue is that it is all but guaranteed that he will lose round 3. I have a feeling that we are going to be seeing Diaz at +200 in most of his UFC fights, I am looking at this as the only chance to bet against him while he is still overvalued. I don't think he would beat many of the top 6 or 7 WW's in the UFC.

I agree that it's a shitty event for betting with a lot of hard fights to cap. The only fight I'm reasonably confident in is Jorgensen/Curran, but I imagine the line will reflect the reality, and I would not be 100% shocked to see Curran find a way to win.

Have you ever watched hioki fight scientist?

I have seen some of his fights. I saw the Sandro fight after it happened.

He is pretty decent, but I think Roop might be able to force a standup fight, where it is probably close.

I like Griffin, but his line's for damn sure too high, and he tends to fight close fights that could go either way.

maybe taking either griff or pala with points is a good idea.

I don't see much on this card to be honest..I do think every underdog listed with lines out already have a chance to win though. I think Griffin/Palaszewski is gonna be a close one.

I think he might have a big size advantage. I haven't seen much tape on him. Tyson is pretty small and fast though. Bart might have trouble getting his hands on him. I only say that because Bart seems kind of big. I really don't know much about him though. I would probably take Tyson by dec if I were to take him at all.
