    Henderson vs Miller should be an awesome fight. If Pettis loses to Guida, I'd have to say the winner of this fight should get the next title shot.

    Be funny if Lytle just took Hardy down and tapped hiim in first round...no doubt tht Hardy would moan again about expecting "a fight" and being let down by the opponent!

    i think jim miller's going to win, but not sure if i'd bet on him at anything more than -150

    i expect sadollah to be about -300, and i'll put a little on that.

    I actually think ben henderson wins. Based on bocek. Miller had trouble with bocek, not only on the ground. But with stuffing takedowns his physics, everything really. Ben henderson dominated bocek. I may be completely off here, but what do you guys think? it has to be disturbing betting on miller looking how little trounble henderson had with bocek...

    I myself was convinced that bockek would defeat henderson.

    Pretty much a flip of the coin! I'll be taking fight goes distance most probably, both have good chins, cardio for days, and great sub defence....although Henderson's sub defence is still not entirely clear, he tends to get in to vulnerable positions at times and offers the chance of a guillotine at least once in every fight...a submission tht Jim Miller likes, and he is pretty clinical with any submission attempt. On the flipside, MIller tends to get taken down against anybody with decent wrestling, Bocek and Tibau each landed 4 takedowns I believe in their fights with him...not sure if he doesn't have the best TD defence or if he just feels comfortable on his back (bit of both I guess), but problem is if Henderson does get takedowns and avoid gettin subbed it's gonna favour him if it goes to decison.
    If one is at a reasonable + number which I expect will be Henderson I might take it...I just don't envisage Miller getting finished, dude is tough as hell!

    My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing they plan on using him as fodder to legitimize a potentially decent featherweight in Figueroa.

    Mid-life crisis.

    I'm sure Jason will be okay. He'll go back to beating up 0-10 scrubs soon enough.

    I think henderson is stronger, better wrestler, is better in the clinch. In a very even contest that is crucial. I think it will be henderson, hedged with miller sub. I often go back and forth on these types of fight, but this is my initial conclusion

    I didn't think I'd ever say this, but Leonard Garcia might finally have a clear-cut victory.

    Come on now. Caceres is a complete douche. Everyone should want him to lose. Garcia comes to fight and is extremely entertaining. You can't hate Garcia for bad judging, he just fights.

    I'm a bit surprised Caceres hasn't been cut. He's shown nothing. Garcia is easy money (did I really just type that?)

    Hardy vs Lytle goes distance at -180 at 5d? Doesn't go distance at +140. that doesn't sound right to me--any help here? maybe more wrestling than I am initially thinking? They both usually swing for the fences.

    Neither are really one-shot kill artists, and both have fairly decent chins. Lytle could tap Hardy, but it's hard to gauge how much grappling we're going to see in this fight. I think the current lines are pretty fair.

    I'd gladly take wineland as a dog against benevidez.
    Faber had trouble with him... Mini faber with less skills will have even more trouble.

    Absolutely. Maybe I'll just parlay him with any other play I have on the card.

    An injury has forced Leonard Garcia out of this month's UFC on Versus 5 fight with Alex "Bruce Leroy" Caceres.

    In his place steps undefeated featherweight newcomer Jim Hettes, UFC officials today announced.

    V

    you guys have solid opinions and lots of people read these boards

    you should reconsider before posting strong leans early (prior to odds being out)

    I think it kind of affected the Strikeforce openers to be honest

    Just my opinion - it's a smaller community than you think

    Best of luck this weekend

    Definitely one of the sharps, V. If you're in it for the money, its good advice. Its easier than you think. Most lines are opened early enough to chat about them in length.
