who do you think takes griffin franklin? I have no idea.
I think that one could go either way. Franklin is the more skilled fighter, but Griffin's just a worker and gets shit done.Quote:

Griffin does do work. Does seem like an even fight though.
I would take the FON prop for that fight.Quote:

Jon Fitch vs. Jake Ellenberger Planned for UFC 126
doesn't make sense for Fitch but oh well
Fitch probably just wants to get some work in. Fitch via UD.
Yeah, unfortunately.Quote:

Ellenberger is a strong wrestler with heavy hands just like Mike Pierce. Pierce did good against Fitch in the 3rd round. I don't think this is going to be a huge blow out like everyone thinks.
I agree. Jake has the style to, at the least, make this close.Quote:

A welterweight slugfest is brewing between UFC 170-pound gun-slingers Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit and Chris "Lights Out" Lytle.
A source close to the bout has informed me that the two veterans are slated to face one another at UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
^^^^ I saw this was going to be at UFC 127 so who knows
Apparently Rumble's trying to get some of Condit, too.
I heard he said some shit along the lines of how Condit's not a real fighter, or something like that.
That california raisin looking mutherfucker needs to shut the fuck up and stop cutting 45lbs to fight.Quote:

WOW! how can someone question Condit as being not a real fighter.
I'm sure he's just trying to start shit. He probably thinks Condit would be a relatively easy win against someone who's quickly becoming a real contender and wants to get some hype going.Quote:

Okay, just did some quick research and apparently this is what really happened. Roy Nelson questioned Condit via Twitter for turning down the fight with Fitch and Rumble responded by saying, "I agree wit u big man. No point of saying ur a fighter if ur gonna turn down a challenge."
So I guess that's a little different than I was thinking.
They're giving Torres some gimmes before they risk letting him lose to another top fighter. I bet they're trying to put this shit together chess match style to where Faber wins the title and then we finally get Faber v Torres . . . and all under the banner of the UFC, no less.Quote:

Yep.Quote:

Banuelos is fine, but so is Valencia, and Torres just embarassed him. I've always thought Torres has been a little overrated and that he benefited from a division full of so-so competition, and I'm not sure that he'll ever be champ again, but I also don't think he'll lose to anyone who is either not a champ or a top contender, either.Quote:

Faber's beat Cruz once already (fairly effortlessly, too) and I think he can do it again. So if Faber beats Cruz and Torres beats Banuelos, they could just say fuck it, and BAM! Faber v Torres.Quote:

When you try and plan your big events out based on who you want to win it never seems to work. Look at Strikeforce for all the examples needed.Quote:

Saw that Silva / Belfort at -240 on Betus. 7.5U on Silva. I think it's a steal at these odds.
Belfort hasn't fought in ages, and it's Anderson Silva fighting where he does best.

Guys, Dr. Ngo has a nifty spreadsheet where he posts his plays... basically what I tried to do before Zak started the tracker.
I disagree though. I think Belfort is live, by far the best striker AS has faced.
^^ is that one of your guys?
And I agree that Vitor will be dangerous...for the first round.
It will be almost 18 months since Vitors last fight when they meet. I don't know what will happen but after watching Chael drop Silva I think Vitor has a shot.
wouldnt say one of my guys. He occasionally posts on my blog... I posted his spreadsheet here a few months agoQuote:

Any boxing plays for the remainder of the year bro? Some solid fights over the last 6 weeks of the year.Quote:
