OK I wanted to start a new thread. Am I the best at predicting fights? No but I do think I'm pretty good especially if I Really like a fight.

Last couple events I was big on Barboza over Felder and Maia over Magny. I went into detail about how both would win and I was pretty spot on.

For UFN 73 it's Dariush over MJ. Dariush is better than MJ everywhere. Remember Dariush tooled Jim Miller on the ground and MJ is not a better grappler than Miller. He also trains with JDA at Kings. I just saw a piece on Dariush. He's a really likable kid. I think Dariush will fight for the belt 1 day.

[mirinquads]

Dariush is absolutely not better than MJ everywhere.

[JoshKnows46]

Dariush needs to get it to the ground and keep Johnson down to win. Johnson has the better standup and wrestling. Dariush could very well be a future champion, but this is a terrible matchup for him. Best of luck capt!!

You shall see my friend.

[Thor4140]

usually on board with ya Capt but not sure about this one. MJ handled Barbosa's speed better than anyone i have seen in a long fight. Guy has improved so much and looks fearless. U have anything on this guy Hall is fighting? U ever see him fight before?

[PaperTrail07]

Agree but odd he wanted to fight m j

Odds alert gates_herrera_alvey 5$ parlay pays $475. Have to make a play on that

Has a good chance, exept for alvey. I like the other two, expecially willie gates.

[PaperTrail07]

Try that same parlay for 5, but put in Hall in the first round at +200, instead on alvey.

MJ did do well against Barboza cause he knew the only way to beat him was pressure him plus MJ had no fear of getting taken down cause Barboza does not go for TD's. Dariush presents different problems. No Dariush doesn't have the technical standup of Barboza but he's more well rounded than Barboza. Dariush is gonna be special.

Hall lacks mental toughness and this kid Bamgbose was at +300 to +350 a few days ago. I think it's a good idea to go small on him. Yes I know people (that know the game) that watched him fight and I watched some tape on him.

So Dariush got his ass whooped, but you got the gift. I guess we both won... You won the cash though, sadly.

Well done on your other picks.

Capt a solid capper Miri and now he is pulling horseshoes out of his ass. I thought i get this one over him. Now im afraid to go against him lol. IN a way i kinda met the guy. He looks like he is eight foot tall when he talks to these 145 ers.

Thanks Thor... True story... So I'm watching Dariush and MJ. I was supposed to be at a neighbors house already so I leave right after the fight. I didn't wait around for the dec cause I knew Dariush lost. I DVR'd the event. I come back a cpl hours later and I fast forward from beginning all the way to the Glover fight BUT something catches my eye. I see Dariush getting interviewed. I rewind and listen to Buffer give the scores. I was Shocked to say the least. I watched the fight a 2nd time. It was actually a lot closer when I watched the 2nd time.

I got lucky BUT I've also been the guy that picked MJ and got burned.

i can't see how anyone can give Johnson the third round. I thought i had this one easy but then in the third i thought Darius was picking him apart and MJ was gonna be stupid and keep coming forward and get knocked out. Once i got threw that i figured if they say Darius in one of the first two im ****** (split) Sure enuf the third guy had him to. I guess i have to watch it again.

[mirinquads]

Dariush won it probably, but not as tellingly as MJ won the two other rounds.. That round could honestly have been a swing round.

[CaptChaos145]

Stout over Perez all day. Stout is actually the dog now. Bet the house on Stout!

[CaptChaos145]

I thoughts the stoppage was a little early especially after the ref let Burkman take a lot more on a similar knockdown.

Perez still isn't that good and he retired. Weird to announce it.

[CaptChaos145]

Moving on... my next lock will be Joe Riggs over Ron Stallings. Stallings is a regional fighter. He's not a UFC fighter. Riggs should beat him everywhere.

[Beelzebubzy]

Where does Riggs open?

[JIBBBY]

Joe Riggs hasn't had much luck lately fighting in the UFC.. He did go the distance with Patrick Cote and lost though.. That's saying something considering the way Cote looked like last night... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joe-Riggs-2765

He is fighting an average dude bum in Stallings, I'm just not sure Joe Riggs is above average himself these days.. Stallings record - 13-7 http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ron-Stallings-11950

At +140 Riggs is probably the right call though....

UFC 191 - Middleweight 3 rounds - MGM Grand Garden Arena - Las Vegas, Nevada - UFC Fight Pass
Sat 9/5		1901 Joe Riggs		+140	o2½ -110
7:30PM		1902 Ron Stallings		-160	u2½ -110

Gonna bump this to the event thread...

Riggs is a +140 right now.

Yeah Riggs is not that old but he has a lot of miles on that body. I wonder how well prepared he will be. On paper it's Riggs all day. Also this will be a rare southpaw vs southpaw matchup. I work for a regional show and Stallings fought for us. He lost to Timmy Williams. Stallings looked ok. He definitely was not the 1st choice to fight Uriah Hall. They needed a replacement and Stallings took the fight. They actually offered Timmy the Hall fight but Timmy did not have enough time to cut the weight.

[mirinquads]

Riggs is held together by duct tape these days. Literally.

Don't know why people are hating on Stallings skillset. He's actually impressed me, very slick standing up. Good striking instincts.

He's a decent striker. He hasn't beat anyone good. The dude he beat in the UFC only had 4 pro fights when they fought.

[mirinquads]

That's a lot less important than people give it credit for

[CaptChaos145]

Riggs baby. If that eye wasn't messed up he would have continued to dominate. Man Riggs landed some nasty Ground & Pound and Stallings took it like a champ! Stallings has a weak ground game.

[JIBBBY]

Good Joe Riggs Dog win Cap.. Hit that on the dog thread too.. Good Job.. We'll take that win any way it comes!!!

[Thor4140]

Hey Capt are u gonna be there this weekend? I would have emailed ya earlier but im not going. JUst got back from vacation and couldn't get the night off. I'll be watching it online. I just found out his opponent changed and haven't been close to the situation. He better not lose or this could be the end of the road.

Jesus Thor I'm actually just seeing this now since I abandoned my own thread. LOL.

I had a bit of a falling out with CFFC so I'm not commentating for them at this point. Who knows what the future may bring though.

It's good to see Horcher finally getting his shot. He's a UFC level fighter however he has 1 tall order this weekend!

[CaptChaos145]

This fight is a month away but Maia will beat Matt Brown handily. The odds could be -500 and betting on Maia would still be a good option. Matt does not have 1 punch KO power and he gets taken down by good grapplers. Maia is 1 of the best TD fighters out there and his top game is 2nd to none.

Hey Capt first time im seeing this. Im just so busy lately but wanted to tell ya that the casino i work for is building a thousand something stadium and i hear the owner is a big MMA fan and will bring MMA there, so get your application ready. I work Saturday nights so it would be great to see ya get the job. Probably sometime next year if things go normal. The shell of the section was pretty much built but he wants to raise the roof which cost a small 50 million more. Amazing what some of these guys with money will do. I think TBK fights in the middle of May so i will have to watch it on gflive again.
