Gratulations donka!

Shame Nog is out, had some one Shogun, thought shogun should be more like -250-30 than -160 where he was at. Oh well, I hope they give someone Shogun can beat, maybe Bader?

Bader beats Shogun IMO, pretty confident in it too.

Totally agreed. I thought that line was way off and mostly that tight because Evans didn't show up for his fight with Nog. Hopefully, this is still a consideration when Nog returns and I can fade him then.

Gratz donk! What a score!

Also I wouldn't mind Chael vs shogun, Chael should probz be a heavy favorite there.

If Stars ever decide to market to India, guess who's looking good for Team Online Pro, since there are very few good players from India

I wish I was Czech or Peruvian or Swiss or whatever, i'd have all of the free sponsorship money if I was from a random country where no one is good. India's not a bad market to be from if you get a profile though i'd imagine, it has to be on Stars list of places to expand into further.

Bader is a pretty bad matchup for Shogun imo, so is Chael. Wrestler with somewhat acceptable striking defense is basically the way to beat Shogun unless you're a better striker than he is.

Gonzaga in to replace Del Rosario - hopefully he's close to evens against Herman at 162

Rumours it's Chael that's replacing Lil'Nog against Shogun at 161

Half completed 163 card looking solid too

So far

Aldo vs Pettis
Maia vs Koscheck
Machida vs Davis

and all four announced prelims look solid too

Also obviously we snap bet Machida to -300 and probably higher, and I don't see current Kos beating Maia either.

Machida/Davis is a good one to make, Davis is ranked but so boring they don't want him to main event and they don't want to give him a title shot either so they need him to lose, plus it's a fairly safe win for Machida while Gustafsson gets the title shot before him and the longer Machida's win streak is before his second and likely final shot at Jones the better

Most of the fight footage is Mendez looking gassed showing some sloppy kickboxing against a human punching bag....I think the opponent is Lee Chapman, who's got a 5-8 record.

So yeah, I think -400ish is accurate for Sarafian, and generally speaking really lopsided fights are more likely to end via finish when the favorite tends to finish fights. Add in with this the fight is in Brazil, and I like the under at plus anything.
Sarafian ITD available at +117... obv. the Sub prop would be best, but probably not coming out until Wednesday or so

Re: Chael

I wonder what state his body is in right now. He peaked for his April 27th fight. It seems like maybe 6 weeks is an awkward interval between fights.

Chris Leben fought Aaron Simpson and Akiyama three weeks apart a couple years ago. But that short interval was fine. He was still in peak condition.

Oh well, I guess Chael volunteering for the fight is probably a sign that he feels good.

Yeah, there is 0% chance we see Chael at his peak, however very rare we see any short notice fighter at there peak. Chael should be Fine though with his style. Only issue is if shogun can stuff multiple TDs early

I have no idea how Davis can beat Machida. I guess Henderson did get a takedown at some point...

Thanks for the heads up aim, it's already dropped to +100 but still put 2u on that myself.

And yes, I'll be very interested to see where the Sarafian by sub prop opens.

He got some weird takedown if I recall it correctly, like on the break, Machida slipped and Hendo ended up on top.

Feeling very confident in Werdum now, he has got much better since then and Nog has faded.

Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson signs with Bellator

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mma-ca...172023959.html

He signed with Bellator and TNA professional wrestling. Both entities are backed by Spike TV, and Jackson will appear on both shows. They will also create a reality series to follow him.

looool what a joke Rampage has become.

What could he have signed with that made sense though?

Now he can have his grudge fight with Mo and fight some lhw's that are probably at least on Rampages level.

Wrestling is lol, but a man gotta make a buck. Could imagine Rampage have pissed away most of his money.

A mans got to make his living, don't see any problem in that, and beside, he's still good enough to beat cans so if they match him up well, could be some entertaining fights.
