Ya bad decision is literally like the only chance. Maynard is just better at almost EVERYTHING though. Better wrestler, better striker, better athlete, bigger man, more power...just don't ever see him losing here.

Anyone else mildly intrigued by Rothwell at over 2:1? Schaub's chin is mediocre at best. He's athletic and skilled for a heavyweight but Rothwell could put him away with one decent combo in a fight that will likely be mostly contested on the feet. He also looked in great shape at the weigh ins, and cardio has been his biggest failing recently.

He is the master of this annoying ****. Bouncing around looking busy, wiffing punches, and lay and praying for 3 rounds to mezmerize the judges.

I have no clue about rothwell, would have to go back and look at his older fights and see if he can punch at all. His most recent ufc bouts have been him getting smashed and trying to take people down. Maybe he can somehow frakenstein walk through schaub's punches for 2 rounds of takedowns and get a split. I just don't see him having being able to land a combo, maybe a wacky headkick in the late 2 or 3rd?? I believe he has done this in the past in his IFL days I think, too lazy to look it up atm.

I remember watching Rothwell dominate the IFL league back then. But this is the UFC, a whole other level. On the + side, Rothwell seemed to be in great shape, he used to be more towards the Nelson but now he seems more towards Travis Browne type of body.

He's not going to be taking Schaub down, his only shot is somehow catching Schaub, which I think he does about 10-20% of the time, no more than that.

Maynard vs Guida, logic says Maynard all the way. If it was a 5 round fight, it'd be a lot closer, but Maynard doesn't have to worry about the gastank when it is 3 rounds.
I don't see clay taking maynard down but he could possibly outwork Maynard on the feet. Maynard isn't really that good of a boxer and he doesn't do anything but throw those hands, he has no kicks, no knees etc. It's a possability. I'm not going near this fight unless Gray isn't too big of a overdog or Clay is too much of a underdog.

Also, Guida is a pretty good athlete, he's got way better cardio than Gray and he's more explosive, so I wouldn't chalk it up as gray is a better athlete, meaning they have different strenghts and weaknesses in that department.

will update record later
evans+420

not much to say and jones is the best and should be favored just not by this much. The hand speed and boxing skill of evans gives him a legit chance. We know jones has lethal striking at the mid range but if evans can get inside and avoid the elbows he can win. Of course getting inside will be a tall order Also for what it's worth mma professor one the best mma cappers around likes jones

Oh and am i the only one that confused by the overheem situation. First they say he took roids then a couple days ago at sbr some dude post saying it was all a misunderstanding and that he will be cleared then less then 24 hours later i find out no chance mir is getting the shot. I bet white is pissed that reem was tested. Seeing as he's a smart man and i'm sure he knew all along that reem is on the juice. He does look like a comic book character after all

Where did I say that? I just said you can work around it within the rules and get a Dr to help you. Obv Hendo and Sonnen aren't overloaded w/ estrogen. Boy ppl read a lot into words that aren't there

Your exact words: "TRT isn't juicing." ...Ya it is, artificial testosterone is a PED.

And yes, Maynard is a far superior athlete to Guida. He wrestled at a high D-1 level. It's also evident in his far more explosive shot, I have NO CLUE why you would say Guida is more explosive, that is totally false. Yes, his cardio is excellent but that has nothing to do with athleticism. Also, his boxing is above average. Good enough to clip Frank Edgar more than once, and good enough to trade for 3 rounds with Nate Diaz, which is WAY WAY WAY more than Guida has EVER done on the feet.

On Blanco, Danzig, Njokuani, to win 1.5u each. On Browne, Bocek, Hominick to win 2u each. On "Evans/Jones fight will start Round 2" to win 2u.

I like these for the most part. Danzig probably riskiest.

Blanco should crush Brimage. And Jones has tended to slowly work his way into his finishes against top opposition.

I have no idea. Thompson has been bet down to -219 on pinny, which is super juicy. Do people realize they're betting on Matt Brown?

It's an odds play

One is a MMA fighter w/ many fights in the UFC and one is a stand up fighter who got a gifted mismatch in his first fight. I think Thompson will prbly win on points and keep the distance but Brown is good in the clinch and I could easily seem him dragging Thompson to the ground.

Seems like a classic case of a hyped fighter and a undervalued journeyman, I think it should be like -130ish Thompson but who knows?

You literally said "TRT isn't juicing" lol sorry I just was like wtf but meh.

Thompson should win but I mean the guy he beat in his first fight looked flat out embarrassing. Not sure what we can glean from that. Thing is, Matt Brown has never been finished by strikes. As someone pointed out, nearly all of his losses are by sub, which as far as we know Thompson won't be exploiting. I see this going to decision most likely.

Torres to win sub of the night 10:1. Could be value there?

Jones inside distance -225. All over that.

Added a bit on Torres, Njokuani, Thompson, Danzig, Blanco, and 3x 2 fight parlays of Schaub+Thompson, Thompson+Njokuani and Schaub+Blanco

Also added a little bit on Clements for a sweat and then have small odds play on Griggs, plus small odds plays on Evans and Mills that I already had

Also parlayed a couple dollars on all of the above to win at ridiculous odds obv
