UFC 143

[Vandelay]

Hopefully Roy opens as a dog.

I will probably take Werdum to even as a slight favorite. If Roy gets to something like +170, I will have to take him instead.

I will take Roy as a dog after looking at the fight a bit. Big Country has the betters TDs, and Werdum will probably be too content off of his back. (I basically just said what Scientist said). I think Roy will just keep moving forward and clinching with Werdum and throwing big shots inside. Is Werdum a better wrestler than Mir? Mir was able to take Roy down a lot from the clinch, but then again..Mir is the more athletic, bigger, explosive guy compared to Werdum. imo this fight has potential to be a real snoozer

Looking at Pierce/Koscheck...Pierce could win that imo. They will both probably stand, and I see Pierce getting the better of the exchanges. Hughes was boxing Koscheck up before he got his head punched off. I may be overrating Pierce's striking though. Not sure if Koscheck or Pierce can get either down and keep them there to significantly sway the outcome of the fight.

Why do you think Roy has better takedowns that Werdum? I don't get that.

Koscheck has power in the standup. Pierce doesn't seem to have too much power. I will definetly have to lean towards kos in this one.

[edman5555]

I take it back, Pierce can win. Flip flop.

[Vandelay]

lol. Koschecks striking blows and pierce has a chin. So it comes down to whether or not koscheck tries to take the fight to the floor and if he can actually succeed in doing so.

[Luke]

Fight will probably loo a lot like Hendricks-Pierce with Pierce coming up just a bit short again.

I like pierce and Nelson at plus odds.

[edman5555]

max holloway is a very inexperienced figher taking his fight against dustin poirier on short notice.

[edman5555]

stephen thompson is a black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu and apparently the brother in law of carlos machado. On top of that he is a kickboxing champion...

[edman5555]

IWS POLL: Who is the better striker, Nick or Carlos Condit???

[poopoo333]

Nick.
