UFC 144: Japan

[edman5555]

Hunt might even be better than Barry IMO.

[edman5555]

i might try hunt +3.5 if they have it.

[mike]

what does +3.5 mean, edman?

[MMA_scientist]

I do think kongo will win, but hunt is a much bigger man, and he hits a lot harder. He will probably gas out though... but another thing to consider is that kongo cant sub anyone,he doesnt even put the hooks in onthe back. Hunt has that samoan head that is imposible to hurt with punches... all those islanders have rocks for heads, except grove

[mike]

the thing is Kongo doesnt have to watch out for the td or any leg kicks. he just needs to watch for Hunt's hands, which imo arent that fast. Hunt hits hard but he has to land.

[MMA_scientist]

I tink kongo will eventually tire him outvand get him down. I just think hunt is live

[edman5555]

what does +3.5 mean, edman?

It is an option on 5d. +3.5 points to the final score

I am going to watch rothwell/Hunt today. Good point though. Kongo could get a sub though, he has gotta be better than hunt

[Luke]

If barry can almost finish kongo, hunt can too. Hunt is live imo.

+1

[edman5555]

I am just beginning my final research now. I guess I'll post most of it if I can. Just got out of work and 2.5-3 hours until fight time.

[edman5555]

does anyone know for a fact that the +3.5 points on 5dimes includes wins by submission? It only says ko on the menu.

[edman5555]

they really fucked up the sherdog fighter database

[edman5555]

i am staying away from the zhange fight, the cantwell fight, the moto fight, the cariaso fight right off the bat. Cariaso is a badass muay thai fighter BTW. That is what motivated me to avoid this one. Miz is pretty decent but not at -200. Lee is somewhat unkown to me and Moto seems like a lot of fizzled hype. Zhangs opponent is a complete unkown to me.

[Svino]

After more research, I have to back down off my "Pettis is nearly a lock" stance. He looks more vulnerable to takedowns than I remembered. Still, I'd bet him if Lauzon doesn't do something early.
