BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[Svino]

Why do you think it will be 5 rounds when DFW specifically said it won't?

Well the good news is that he didn't go out there with a severe knee sprain and fuck any of us out of money.

If they change BJ/Diaz to a 5 round fight I'm filing complaints and whatever I have to in order to get My bet cancelled on BJ.

Breakdowns/ Thoughts

Sucks GSP backed out and now they want to make BJ/DIAZ 5 rounds. Lame as fuck. Killing our betting options. I'm not taking anyone in a 5 rounder. Maybe BJ at good dog odds.

Anyways..


Bart/Griffin: Griffin will probably win this but Bart is a pretty big guy with almost 50 fights. I don't really want Griffin at dog odds. I may take him by decision if it is at decent odds.

I will probably be on Vera. I think hes gotten a bad rap. He is pretty solid.

Siver/Cerrone is too hard to call. I don't know who has the better striking credentials but I feel like Siver has done better striking inside the octagon. I will probably play him as a dog. He seems to do well by me...

Crocop/Nelson: Hard to call as well. Nelson claims to have been sick during the Mir fight. Who knows how sick he really was. I think Cro cop can actually beat him but I'm not certain of it. He def wont sub Nelson. I guess he could knock him out but Nelsons chin is pretty stellar and he will most likely want to clinch. That will most likely mean CC sticking to a boxing game. Who knows though. Fight goes the distance is probably a good bet IMO. Probably at +odds as well.


I am on Kongo as I said a million times.

I have a feeling Diaz/BJ is going to be the new main event. 5 rounds. Shit.

If they change it I believe our bets will be cancelled.

UFC president Dana White has already stated that the new UFC 137 main event between BJ Penn and Nick Diaz will not be a five-round fight because, as he put it, "they haven't trained for five rounds."

However, Diaz's manager and trainer wants the world to know that Diaz is ready and willing to go five rounds with "The Prodigy" on Oct. 29.

"If they can't fight five rounds against each other, how are they going to fight five rounds against GSP?," Gracie said to MMAFighting.com on Tuesday.

Gracie said he told White that Diaz wanted to change the fight to a five-rounder but had yet to hear back from Penn's camp. After speaking to Gracie, both White and Penn could not be immediately reached for comment.

"Dana is good with it," he said. "We've agreed to it. If BJ agrees to it, we'll make it happen."

Gracie added that there was no hesitation on Diaz's part to agree to a five-round fight after hearing the news of GSP's injury and subsequent removal from the card.

"These guys have to prove they are ready. These guys are fighters. BJ has always said he's a warrior. ... The old school days of MMA, back when it was NHB, they fought forever.

"Don't be scared, homie. Let's make it five rounds."

Inb4 Diaz flakes out of the presser and gets cut, changing the event back to Penn / Condit.

[SPX]

I think they want BJ to win, so probably.

[Svino]

Uh... so Penn vs. Diaz is still 3 rounds, right?

[SPX]

Wow.
