UFC 142

[MMA_scientist]

I think Belfort is going to smash AJ. I am going to bet that. I will bet Mendes. I may do Palhares/Silva parlay. I am a little worried about Prater, because sometimes he fights really well, and other times he sucks. I may hedge with it Prater by sub. Silva hasn't been subbed yet though, so I dunno.

I considered Pyle, but Funch might suprise him on the mat. Maybe Pyle will force a standup fight and he will probably be the better grappler on the mat too, but I don't know. I just don't trust Pyle's grappling for some reason.

I had a dream AJ beat Belfort in the 2nd though last night.

Guess I better hedge my Belfort bet. . .

Don't really love UFC142 for value. I do like Mendes at current +200 odds, but will wait and hope more money comes in on Aldo. Would love to get +250. Probably just a 1 Unit play.

I will be on Pyle for sure. I think he is better everywhere. I am just not sure if I can trust his chin, even if Funch doesn't has a lot of power in his hands.
I think we are going to see Pyle vs. Almeida kind of matcup... with funch beeing less good than Almeida in pretty much every area of the game

I think Vitor, Mendes and probably even Palhares have value.

Maybe Barboza too, but we'll have to wait and see on that.

When was the last time Pyle was really knocked out? Against Rory and Ellenberger he got put in a position from which he couldn't escape and pounded out . . . I don't really think that has anything to do with his chin.

I doubt Funch will be able to replicate either guy's success.

Maybe Barboza too, but we'll have to wait and see on that.

Personally I'm staying away from Barboza until I see whether the Pearson fight was just an off night for him or what. Because Pearson spent quite a bit of time inside pressuring the shit out of Edson, who wasn't landing leg kicks like he usually does.

I'm not positive about anything on this card. There aren't any fights I feel strongly about, the only one I am actually confident in is Pyle beating Funch.

[SPX]

Pyle is gonna push Funch's shit in.

[poopoo333]

I am actually annoyed I used my free play on Vitor Belfort, I think he is probably going to lose. AJ is looking like a beast lately. We'll see.

Palhares is going to win, but I think Massenzio @+400 is justified because he is fighting somebody with the mental capacity of a 12 year old.

Erick Silva is supposed to be a hot prospect but he has conditioning issues, so Prater may be able to take over late in the fight.

This card is just so hard to call

[SPX]

I'm also a little nervous about Vitor, but I have faith that he'll smash that fool.

You think Massenzio might beat Palhares?

What makes everyone think Vitor > AJ? I think AJ takes it from having way more tools. I will bet that for sure.

What are the tools?

I think Vitor has better striking and better grappling. Cardio probably goes to AJ... But he is also going up to MW for the first time and Vitor is a big MW. I just think Vitor is a better fighter. AJ's best win is.... Hardy? Brenneman probably. I just get over him getting beaten up by Rich Clementi, I don't care how long ago it was. As long as AJ doesn't train with Segal, I think he will send AJ back to WW.
