UFC 139

[mike]

well, i guess I agree with spx on the Kingsbury/Bonnar fight. Didnt see his post b4 i posted mine haha

[Vandelay]

Lawlor gassed to shit against doerksen. He destroyed him the first rd and then ran out of gas looking for the finish. I think weidman is way overated.

[SPX]

I remember reading that Lawlor said he was expending too much energy during his elaborate entrances. He did away with that for the Cote fight and stayed strong the whole the through. Would the result be the same if he was fighting someone who could wrestle him back? Dunno. . . But it's something to consider.

i remember seeing his weigh in vs Cote and thought he must be on ped. he was in fantastic shape. but yeah he was the one setting the pace in that fight.

[SPX]

This card fucking owns.

BTW, thoughts on Bader/Brilz? My initial reaction is that Bader wins, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see Brilz take it.

[poopoo333]

Bader takes it easy.

[SPX]

He may take it, but I don't think he's just going to blow through Brilz.

Newcomer Alex Soto meets Michael McDonald at next week's UFC 139 event

[SPX]

If I can get Bonnar at that price then I'll take him.

[poopoo333]

This event is coming up quick...it's a week from Saturday. I still don't know what to think about Shogun/Hendo.

[poopoo333]

Is anybody here betting on Wandy/Le? It's a hard fight to cap for me but I am leaning Le.

Faber/Bowles is a tough one as well..it might be pretty even on the feet, but I don't think anybody has ever outgrappled Bowles...will Faber be able to wrestle his way to a decision?

Thoughts on Story/Kampmann? If Kampmann puts everything together and finally fixes his fight IQ I think he will be able to beat Story by getting TDs of his own from the clinch..Story has strong offensive wrestling in the clinch/against the cage, but he does end up on his back often from that position.

I think Kingsbury takes 2 of 3 rounds against Bonnar, but it's a risky bet if Kingsbury gasses out again..Bonnar can always turn it up and get the late finish.

I think Bader beats Brilz by having the better wrestling/hands.

Michael McDonald is good but I don't know anything about Alex Soto (who is taking the fight on like 9 days notice)

I think Weidman outgrapples Lawlor to a decision

Tibau should beat RDA with top control/being fucking huge

I don't know much about Nick Pace...is Torres gonna beat him?

Baczynski/Matt Brown is gonna be a good fight...Baczynski is huge and looked great against Harvison..not sure about this one

If Shamar Bailey comes to grapple and not to fight he may have the edge over Danny Castillo...how good is Bailey's wrestling/overall grappling compared to Volkmann's? Volkmann did great against Castillo

[Thewisemann]

Bowles, Kampmann and Bonnar are all good dog bets. Hendo is gonna fuck Shogun up.

[SPX]

I'm really not sure I agree about Bowles. In fact, I've already placed my bet on Faber.
