[zoo youk]

do we have to use all of the 1000$ bankroll for tonights bellator?

[Beelzebubzy]

ha maybe he's doing Bigday's technique and putting the opposite of his actual plays so is a win-win!

haha I think this fight will have alot of clinch work and boredom which can favor Sadollah
Hardy looked a little pudgy to me
And Sadollah has the grappling advantage plus will throw a higher quantity of strikes this can be counter productive as Hardy likes to counterstrike but if this turns into a clinch hug fest I like my odds of there being 2 dumb judges

[blacklady]

Like Nelson for this. Small play I think.

Could happen for sure...the higher volume of strikes is a big concern...relying on the theory that Hardy will be aggressive and constantly push forward due to fighting in his home town and wanting to make a statement. I've never seen Sadollah show any counter-striking, so even though Hardy is a decent enough counter striker I still think he needs to push forward constantly to show "octagon control" and land more frequently than he sometimes does. If he does let Sadollah come to him and just tries to counter with his trademark left hook then it's not the end of the world...he could still win but the chances of Sadollah picking him apart are greatly increased. It could well end up looking like the Swick fight tho with Sadollah constantly pushing forward and Hardy just rocking him with one big shot in each or a couple of rounds. Hardy's counter striking (mostly his hooks) and obviously his reasonable power are the main reasons I've pulled the trigger, as most of Sadollah's opponents have not had much power or not been guys who can counter strike. I remember the Baroni fight, I had Sadollah in a parlay and I remember thinking "shit, Sadollah keeps backing Baroni up against the cage and is leaving plenty of opportunities for Baroni to counter with a big hook" but of course Baroni was gassed out after first 3 minutes and couldnt throw anything after that!

Now I need to try and tread water on the top. Lol

Unfortunately what goes up comes down sometimes.

GL guys!

[zoo youk]

bueller?

[BIGDAY]

Zooer, I think the max is 1000 and the min is risking 200 on three separate fights.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with all of this. Just to play Beelzebub Advocate, Sadollah has a chin despite his wikipedia shwoing him being KOed once, he showed great resilience in the Bang fight
I give a speed, power, and grit advantage to Hardy, and I am a bit of homer for him, as he has my haircut if I wasnt a white collar cube ass
But technique, quantity of strikes, and grappling clearly go to the mini-Forrest griffin

ok I am hedging my real life plays
