Its hard to tell. I could imagine going balls out since he can change his life and his new child in 15 minutes...who cares about a broken nose if you put on a hell of a performance even in a loss?
I can also imagine him getting hit multiple times and want out.

I usually like this kind of dr phil bets or arguments but this one is puzzling IMO.

Grabaka how come your English is so good? Have you just been taught loads since a kid?

you know what, maybe you are right. maybe he can harness this distraction and use it towards his advantage. wtf do i know. lol.

but i still think if wife's water breaks, it will probably be too much for him to handle. at that point he will probably want to get back home asap.

Yes i had it in school all those years and after i finished high school i did a year in english with toefl exam at the end. Also when i was 21 i made a record label with a danish/arab friend and the whole company was registered in denmark so i worked 3 years speaking in English. I met the dude in Napster. LOL crazy story.

Grabaka · 10-10-12, 02:34 PM

I will tail you if water breaks. We got it bra!

Vaughany · 10-10-12, 02:40 PM

Teixeira wins by 3 round decision* +415
Nogueira wins inside distance -160

Rubber Guard · 10-10-12, 03:39 PM

Why is Bonnar +700. But by Dec is +1430? Inside like +1100?

They really think Bonnar has a better chance of finishing Anderson in 3 rounds? LOL

Vaughany · 10-10-12, 03:40 PM

If i knew he was i would be all over him in this fight. I don't trust the guy.

I don't really think Story can "kill" anyone standing.

I think Maia has a decent shot at fighting to his strength here. He will like to get the sub win in Brazil. He can get Story to the ground.

I think Maia is the right side. He fought for a title. He took down and beat Sonnen. Story is just some guy who beat a crappy Thiago Alves and got a bunch of credit. He is an average fighter with no finishing skills.

If he stands with Story he is gonna eventually get killed. Story has a great chin and doesn't mind it being tested. His body attack is also pretty good. I was all over Alves in his fight with Story thinking finally someone will knock his head off but he took everything Alves threw at him. He will prolly have brain damage when this is all over with but i don't think he cares. jmo

i might take a shot at Maia since i keep forgetting this is in Brazil. I would guess he has to want to fight his smartest fight in Brazil or i can just shake my head to another Maia loss for standing and banging.

Even though Story stood and banged with Alves he still mixed things up with the takedown which threw Alves off, imo. Looked like his gameplan was still to get it to the ground.

I don't see Maia knocking Story out in any fashion, but if the fight goes to the ground Maia has a big advantage. He could sweep story easily. Even brenneman almost locked up that triangle on him in their fight.

Educ8d Degener8 · 10-10-12, 10:15 PM

Really surprised by the line movement on Banha... thought it would go the other way if anything.

yeah and I believe the Hathaway fight showed that Story can be reversed on the ground

yeah I thought so as well but then people are wising up to Banha's deficiencies and Camozzi is on a 2 fight win streak. Glad I took the opener in end at +140, but wouldnt be surprised if Banha starts to get some action after weigh-ins if he makes weight comfortably etc...

I would say it's a solid bet. I think starts round 3 is good, too.

I think Bonnar puts up a fight. Don't think he gets finished early. Good chance it goes to a decision, but he will be getting his ass kicked while the crowd cheers.

If I had to make a prediction, it would be Silva by RNC in Rd 3

You are right Defact. Alves fought one of the dumbest fights i ever saw in that one which is par for the course for him. Backing straight back to the cage over and over again but Story did take a lot of his shots standing with him? He seems to be very knowledgeable fella.

interesting. i was originally thinking along these same lines, but the more i think about it, the more i feel that silva will finish it within 2.

NunyaBidness · 10-11-12, 04:19 PM

The question is what is Bonnar going to do. If Bonnar comes rushing in, Silva is more likely to finish it quickly. If Bonnar sits back and is afraid of the power he probably survives round 1. Bonnar's reputation as a slugger is overstated.

Rubber Guard · 10-11-12, 05:31 PM

They have some respect for one another. Unless Bonnar goes swinging wildly I doubt Anderson finishes in round 1. I think Anderson will give the crowd a show and Bonnar has a good jaw as is. I think it will be 2 or 3 rounds of Bonnar getting beat up but loving it. I don't think Anderson will try to Forrest him.

Kaladarus · 10-11-12, 05:46 PM

Bonnar is tough and has only been finished from cuts. His style is very bad against Anderson though. His wrestling is not very good, he has little finishing power and he's slow. Silva should be able to put Bonnar away effortlessly in the first round here.

NunyaBidness · 10-11-12, 05:51 PM

Agreed, but I don't think having any kind of good chin can protect you from Andy.
