UFC 136

stipe's line is a joke

[Vandelay]

just rewatched aldo vs hominick and one judge somehow gave Aldo rd 5. and for a final score of 50-43

[Ludo]

Using that logic, he should have been the biggest LW fighter on the planet since he once fought at MW.

That would be Joe Riggs. He competed at heavyweight once upon a time and dropped over a hundred pounds to fight at 155.

But seriously. It is well documented that Kenny cut from around the 175-180lb range for Lightweight. I don't see him all of a sudden dropping mass to be that much smaller overall. His cut to 145 looked horrendous, and I'm sure he tried to ease the transition with some mass dropping but how much could he really cut down?

This is acting like we just haven't seen Florian at FW.

Florian at 145 lbs? What would that look like?!

We KNOW what it would look like . . . and he looks noticeably different than he did at LW.

I personally thought that he looked quite fragile.

Yeah, he looks severely emaciated. The point I was trying to make is he didn't all of a sudden become a drastically smaller person just because he cut ten more pounds in weight.

[SPX]

He became smaller enough to look smaller, which means that he lost mass, not just water. So he's physically smaller. About as small as Aldo.

Aldo has bigger muscles. Kenny has bigger reach.

I am going to bet ALL those above parlays. I will also parlay Maynard individually with each guy for a unit each.

Are you most confident with Maia?

Yeah, I really don't see how Santiago beats him. Maia's standup is better, his takedowns are better, and his groung game is better. Santiago is quite the submission ace himself, so I doubt Maia subs him, I think it will look like the Maia-Miranda fight.

I did Maia/Guillard and I am looking at Maia/Simpson now too...

Too many chioces. Cards like these where there are a buch of strong favorites are where I usually make the most.

Too many chioces. Cards like these where there are a buch of strong favorites are where I usually make the most. But the hard part is narrowing it down. You don't want to miss out, but on the other hand, you have to limit your exposure, because one loss can wipe out the gains of the other guys. I am just trying to figure out which one is the least likely to lose. I feel it is Maia because he is consistently good (save the Marq fight).

Guillard has all the tools to dominate that fight, but he has rocks in his head and he has moments of idiocy. I mean, if he is back on crack or whatever it was...
Sonnen has the submission issue and Stann has a habit of knocking guys out that have never been rattled before.
Aldo has the weight cut question.
Simpson has conditioning problems.
Pettis is facing a guy with big power with a history of catching technically superior guys.

I don't think Schaefer is the guy to take advantage of a conditioning/age issue with Simpson. He would probably have to take him down to take advantage of it, and I think Simpson would have to be in Shane Carwin territory to get taken down by Schaefer. So I am thinking about Maia/Simpson for that reason.

I already made the Guillard bet, but I did hedge the parlay with Lauzon by submission.

[edman5555]

Maybe I will join you on Maia.

[poopoo333]

I grabbed Maia @-235 last night. I will probably parlay Aldo/Phan.

[Vandelay]

any1 else having trouble logging into 5dimes?

[edman5555]

don't scare me. FBI FBI FBI

[poopoo333]

Works for me.

[MMA_scientist]

No trouble with 5d on my end either
