UFC 140

I think so. Anderson is obviously one of the greatest fighters to have ever lived, but for some reason he just doesn't pull in the numbers like a lot of other fighters do. I think Dana realizes at this point a) that the MW division has grown a bit stale due to Silva's dominance, and b) that Chael is a publicity machine.

If Silva beats Sonnen, I hope they just have him vacate the MW title and then fight GSP, Jon Jones, and JDS in succession.

[SPX]

I'd be down for that. Although I really want someone to beat him and take the title rightfully.

[Vandelay]

Starting to have doubts about my big bet on mir. Nog looked pretty good standing in his last fight. Slipping punches, powerful shots, good jab. I still believe mir has better standup and he dictates where the fight takes place. probably just gonna let it ride.

Yeah I know how you feel Vandeley. I was thinking about it myself. Nogs surgeries have probably helped him some with his movement. That said, he was never really that great of a boxer. Recently Mir has dropped Nog, Kongo, Cro cop, and outstruck Roy. I think his striking is just flat out better than Nogs. That said, Nog apparently has power he has been keeping a secret. He was able to knock out Schaub. I will be betting on Mir.

[SPX]

Just watched.

Damn, the crowd booed the FUCK out of Jones.

[Svino]

Just a thought: Rampage had shown he had trouble with leg kicks in the past, especially against Griffin.
When Jones fought him, he seriously ramped up his leg kick output. Machida has also had problems with leg kicks against Rua. I would probably expect to see Jones adopt another very leg-kick-heavy striking offense.

One of Vaughany's more amusing bets from the SBR Forum:

0.236 units on Mir by TKO/KO at +550 to win 1.298 units;

[edman5555]

Jones has some skinny ass legs. He said they were in extreme pain from kicking rampage after his last fight. Machida might be able to hurt jones with kicks as well....

Why would that be a +550 line?

[SPX]

What's everyone think of Machida/Bones over 3 1/2 rounds at +170?

[Svino]

What's everyone think of Machida/Bones over 3 1/2 rounds at +170?

I think it's probably a decent bet. Despite his dominance, both of Jones' last two fights went over that mark, and Machida will probably be more cautious than either Rua or Rampage.

If I don't bet that (and I haven't), it's because I've been getting better distance odds on Live betting.

[SPX]

I won't be around tonight because my homey I used to go to the bar with has the night off and we're going to re-live old times, but good luck everyone. Kind of sorry I won't be here to discuss.

[Svino]

Thanks. Have fun.
