Chael Sonnen (-139) vs Mauricio Rua (+100)

lol all those pictures mean is that Munoz was fat.

Also show his cardio must be off the chart right now, to drop that in 5 months he must have been a cardio machine.

Will be taking Shogun on fight day for this one, Chaels self promotion and name recognition should mean he's bet on heavily just prior to fight hope I can get +150

Would love if the price stays the same, when it opens on 5dimes... No way shogun will be able to stay off his back.

I don't see it either. But can Sonnen stop Shogun's sweeps? Does Sonnen even care or is he just showing up for another paycheck? For that matter, what kind of shape is Shogun gonna show up in?

Too many question marks for me.

Got 0.5u in on Boetsch by decision +280.
Eager to see the o/u on the Barboza, Gonzaga, and Mike Pierce fights.

Also, Boatsch/Munoz goes the distance -135, 1.35u to win 1u.

Pierce seems like a lock I guess but nothing too amazing price wise on prelims. Craig/Leben is probably a Craig bet unless Leben has actually decided to get in shape and not just collect a paycheck, but if he has I guess he's a fav so whatever. I think he has to know he needs to win this one to keep any sort of relevance in the UFC and his job may be on the line if he loses badly and looks bad although he might get one more shot for being a TUF 1 guy.

I think I might like the Gonzaga, Barboza and Pierce ITD lines if they're good enough and Tokudome/Parke goes to decision might be a bet if the price is decent, less keen to take Boetsch than I was before now that Munoz seems to be in shape and i'm already on Anderson, Siver and Edgar so pretty happy with those. Will add more on Anderson if he gets to -200 territory probably.

Also leaning towards the Boetsch/Munoz under, both guys are very powerful and finishable and it's currently +135, seems like it should be more like evens as I think both guys win ITD around half the time when they win

I love Craig and Herman.

I'm with Swoop on that O/U, I'd lean under at the plus money.

What injury did munoz have to ballon up so big?

Grabbed Craig at -165, not nearly as nice as when he was even money or whatever but...Leben couldn't even carve out any sort of advantage on the feet against Derek Brunson (fkn Jacare knocked that dude out lol). Just think Leben's on his last legs.

Very tempted by the price on Peewee but I just don't know if I can trust a dude who rarely bothers to train with my money...

He said most of it was depression post Weidman loss

I heard munoz was injured for the weidman fight. So it wasn't the "real" Munoz fighting.

I'm on the fence concerning those 2 fights. Leben Craig depends what kind of Leben we're seeing and Herman Gonzaga, well I think Gonzaga is more motivated than Herman is, that dude just doesn't seem to care and he's fought pretty awful fights last times.
I also like Gonzagas latest strategy of just bullrushing ppl and trying to get it to the ground so he can sub em. Gonzaga seems like a really good HW grappler, but the downside is he doesn't seem to have the best chin but absolutely not worse than Herman. Where exactly does Herman have an advantage?

I think his chin's worse than Herman's for sure. Herman better wrestler, better overall athlete. But goes he give a ****?

Roger Gracie (UFC 162 fighter, middleweight)

"Weidman's grappling is at a very high level. He has some very good submissions. He can put a lock on anyone - any world class grappler. I think he's that good that he can tap anyone, including me or Anderson Silva."


But he's not even a black belt!

Though we haven't seen any wrestling from his fights in the UFC that I can remember, he tries to keep it standing pretty much in every fight I've seen him.

I didn't realize Anderson Silva has been pro since 1997.

Here are some highlights from his fight with Fabrício Camões in June 1997.

Camoes' is the same guy that lost a decision to Melvin Guillard at UFC 148.

lol, edgar sub is now +26xx

For a guy that's usually going to win that seems pretty extreme

dont have to be a black belt to be a high level grappler. Also, not all black belts are the same.

Think he's aware of that and was being sarcastic.

Yeah I mean that's pretty wow.

Silva vs Weidman: the numbers.

WOW to the Munoz pictures! That is insane!

Looking forward, I'm thinking 1u on Machida but Davis looked severely improved in his last fight so will see closer to the fight.

Also, when does Benavidez get another crack at the title? Looked impressive in his last 2 fights or is there a huge backlog of challengers in flyweight division? Haven't really been keeping up with much MMA news recently.
