Last night I think...I got an email about it. ^^

I can't wait to win 20u this weekend.

Thoughts on Melendez/Masivdal? I think Masivdal is a live dog and Melendez has a little too much hype behind him. I guess it depends on Masivdal's T3D/grappling. He is a huge LW too.

KJ Noons/Billy Evangelista to go to decision is going to be a decent prop bet imo ...not sure who wins that though.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Melendez will be slightly behind in the striking, but that he will be able to get takedowns and is a better grappler. Melendez wins a decision.

OSP is already down to +325 and dropping. I lose yet again for not diversifying my online accounts.

Line guesses for this event? I expect future lw and lhw ufc champs to be underdogs in this one (fodor and OSP). Santos will probably be north of -1000, I believe evangelista will be a dog as well.

So Mousasi -160/OSP plus 140

Wilcox -250/Fodor plus 225

Santos -1200

Noons -200/Evangelista plus 170

Not too far off on the last 2. guess I overestimated how bookies viewed Mousasi. His line wasnt even this high against jardine

OSP is already down to +325 and dropping. I lose yet again for not diversifying my online accounts.

Yeah..hopefully I win this OSP bet and I will keep that $ in bodog for 2012 for my increased bankroll stuff. I will try and keep a good amount in bookmaker, 5 dimes, and bodog. Bodog has been breaking odds often

[MMA_scientist]

I think OSP has a very good shot here. I do think Mousasi SHOULD win, but he is bipolar, sometimes he looks like total crap. Just because of that reason, OSP is worth a bet. Also, Mousasi is trying to be a boxer or a kickboxer now, his head just seems like he has checked out of MMA.

[poopoo333]

OSP should be much bigger (right?) and probably has a better reach and will be able to wear Mousasi out against the cage and take him down and all that stuff. Jardine was taking Mousasi down fairly easy too IIRC. The only downside of OSP is that he will probably gas late in the fight and get in trouble

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, I think OSP will be bigger, Mousasi is a MW that doesn't want to cut. I think Mousasi SHOULD be better standing though- but it depends which Mousasi shows up. I am all over OSP at that line, as I think he has a great shot here, mush better than the line indicates

[mike]

I dont know much about these strikeforce guys but I saw Justin Wilcox's fight vs JZ and thought he looked good. what do u guys think of him vs Fodor?

[SPX]

Wilcox will probably win via wrestling, but hard to call in my opinion. Fodor has done surprisingly well up to this point.

[mike]

3u on wilcox.

[Vandelay]

Wilcox is tempting at those odds, but Fodor is no joke. He beat an equally good striker and wrestler last time out.

[mike]

I just watched Fodor's last 2 fights. I think Wilcox keeps it on the feet and beats him up.
