BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[Vandelay]

Japanese judging is about as shady as bellator. Hioki-Sandro was close the first round or two, then Hioki took over. Sandro hit him with some bombs in the first or second round and Hioki just shook em off.

[trotterz]

Not to mention hioki beat sandro pretty handily as well.

have you ever seen the scorecard for that fight?
I can'T beleive that a judge would see the fight with 2 10-8 round for hioki, and another one gave the same rounds to sandro

Hioki defeated Sandro via unanimous decision (49–48, 48–47, 50–43) to become the new SRC Featherweight Champion.

yeah + odds is a good idea or any fight with dominic cruz/gsp.

[SPX]

That's a damn good question.

Two fights that I got burned pretty bad on for the decision prop was Stout/Edwards and Rashad/Tito. I've backed off a lot on those props since then, basically only betting them if they're at + odds.

[sbjj]

I think it goes to a decision and those are good odds. Seems that whenever I'm just sure a fight goes to a decision that some crazy shit happens,though.

Totally the truth. Hopkins-Dawson over was like -500 if I recall, maybe higher. And we all saw what happened there.

Why does it always seem like crazy shit works against you...never for you.

[edman5555]

yeah i think cerrone will have some trouble knocking out Siver but he could get him down and sub him. Siver on the other hand..he has some knockout power and sub ability. He latches those chokes on really hard and really quick.

[edman5555]

Siver seems to have landed more power punches in MMA but Cerrone is an accomplished Muay Thai fighter.

[Vandelay]

Siver has improved immensely off his back and thats if Ceronne even tries to take him down which im not sure he would be able to do. That leaves one of the two rocking the opponent. Ceronne has a pretty good chin and he himself is not known as a power puncher so...

[edman5555]

i noticed that too. I am not sure about it though. They both have good finishing ability...i do think it goes the distance though.

[Vandelay]

Any thoughts on siver vs ceronne going the distance? I kinda like the odds of it to go 3 rds at -130

[edman5555]

ellenberger vs condit rematch for number 1 contender? Sounds pretty cool to me. Maybe it will happen. Ellenberger should be injury free right now.

[Vandelay]

Not to mention hioki beat sandro pretty handily as well.

[SPX]

They will sit Condit because if he fights, that leaves no opponent for GSP when he comes back in a couple months.

Well, there's Ellenberger who, in beating Shields, arguably has done more to earn a title shot than Condit has.

[Vandelay]

Hioki is worlds above him on the ground and I think he has the better standup. I think roop is a gatekeeper at best and hioki has fought the better competition and has more ways to win. Hioki wont be getting subbed and has a pretty good chin. So outside of a decision, I dont really see hioki losing. Plus he is training out of tristar now which should only help.
