Don't matter anyway, Sonnen is gonna smash Bisping, beat Silva then get his leg tore off by Palhares.

Well I agree.............with the first two parts.

[Ludo]

Palhares would be in a long long line if Sonnen got that belt.

[Thewisemann]

Well, I think Palhares or Maia should be favored over Sonnen

I am feeling pretty solid about Brennamen. I think he has all the tools to win.

I have been looking at Easton. Black belt in BJJ and TKD. From two good teams. He seems to do decently against guys with good wrestling backgrounds. (im just reading about him). Papazian is taking the fight on short notice also. Pap is a blue belt in BJJ. I'm not a 100 percent convinced Pap gets it. What if is TDD is good and he outstrikes Easton? Is Easton a beast on the feet or what?

Guillard/Miller. I think Guillard is a lot faster on the feet. Another hard one to bet. Obviously Miller is the much better grappler. I guess I favor Miller but I'm not sure I want to bet it at -175. Guillard should come out a little bit more intelligent in this one considering what happened to him in the Lauzon fight.

Barry/Morecraft. Originally I was going to take Barry but the size difference plus Barrys shit grappling made me change my mind. I guess Barry is really working his grappling and wrestling but who knows. Morecraft is going to be balls to the wall to get Barry down and he is the much bigger man. Beltran was able to push Barry up against the cage wall pretty effectively. He almost won the fight doing that. That said Barry is a beast. I still would want Barry at even money though.

Schafer/Rivera. Rivera is getting old but he does have some punching power. I do feel like Schafer will get him down. I just haven't seen much tape on Schafer. He is mostly a ground guy it seems. He's been losing all his fights but he has also been fighting big wrestlers at 205. My gut is telling me he is going to go in there and take Rivera to the ground. Schafer should be the bigger stronger and better conditioned guy with better grappling..I may be betting him.

Thats all I've got for now. I will try to figure out some more tomorrow.

I agree with everyone who said Palhares can beat anyone. I wouldn't necessarily favor him over anyone but the dude can/will just dive for a leglock on anyone and probably get it. He is getting better as well. Massenzio looked scared of him. I would be too. Maybe he can master the somersault and just roll up on people like a monkey and leg lock them.

Wrong thread...negged

[poopoo333]

But I agree with pretty much everything. Except I think Miller wins easy. I am also going to fade Barry if Morecraft gets closer to +200

[AC88]

Who thinks Brenneman vs. Roberts goes past 2.5? I think so and will be putting a bet down on that.

[Ludo]

See what you started, Edman?

Erick Silva's DQ Loss Not Overturned

[SPX]

What the fuck? Why would they give him his win bonus but then not overturn the loss?

[mike]

he obviously beat Prater. It would be better to be a no contest as I dont think he intentionally went for the back of the head. I only saw 1, maybe 2 landed on the back and it was during a finishing attack. But fights' safety first and I absolutely hate it when I see a guy being hit on the back of his head.

So do I but in this case I actually place more blame on Yamasaki than Silva. If Yamasaki had stopped it before unnecessary strikes started landing(after the fourth or fifth one when he went limp which caused the back of the head action when his head sank under his own arm) then this wouldn't have happened. Mario is without a doubt one of the worst refs in the business. I still don't know why he hasn't faced disciplinary action yet.
