Not sold either, good luck though. Aldo might cash, at that line it seems like a square play though.

Ya I am not going to lie, I am second guessing myself after reading how everyone is one Fitch. $$$ is coming in on Fitch, and Maia is now at +160, so I should have waited as Maia will no doubt be at better odds come fight night. I think Green is a worse play, but that's just me. Regarding Aldo, he was at -250, now at -220. I don't think the price is going to get much better.. I cap Aldo at -350, so I see value in Aldo at -220 obviously. Call me crazy, but Aldo is on another level. I have been wrong many times tho.

Ok granted, I will give you that, Green is a significantly worse play then Maia.Comment -

Well it seems that you and I are the only ones in the MMA world picking Maia to win. A year ago, I would have bought out of this fight and taken a slight loss after reading everyone else's opinions on this forum, but now I know better. This happened when Chris Brown fought Bigfoot, Jon Jones fought Shogun, and when Jamie Varner fought Barboza.. I am sticking with my gut, Maia take this.Comment -
lol chris brown you mean travis browne yea me too man im stickin with my instincts i think if it goes to decision Fitch will probably eek it out but theres also a possibility that they give it to maia if he keeps it somewhat close. But the main thing that pulls me is the fact that Fitch is going to be up against a big guy at 170 that can grapple, fitch had trouble grappling with bj penn, i think demian maia is a rank above bj in terms of a pure jui jitsu skillset. If Fitch wants to win he'll have to put himself in a danger zone with 3 rounds i think maia can submit him.Originally posted by DirtyXComment -
ha Chris Brown is a legit fighter tho brah! Dont forget he's 1-0...

What if he never gets that distance/rhythm going. Will Frankie be able to enter the pocket and keep the distance? I honestly wouldnt be surprised if Aldo kicks Frankie and ends him in the 1st or 2nd. But his footwork has to be ON POINT. Way easier to have Edgar strategy. I think Aldo round 2 is a good prediction indeed and i think it will be clear in 3 minutes which was the right side.Originally posted by DirtyX
IDK frankie can set amazing TDs and if he gets one fast its just downhill for Aldo unless he darts up.
Did not meant to knock your plays with my comment but of course i disagree Aldo is lock.
GL amigo!Comment -

If you're gonna play a Maia by sub prop, just play Maia SOTN. Dana hates Fitch. He'd gladly send $75k Maia's way if he makes that muthaf*cka tap.Comment -
Any Tibau backers?
i like him to muscle dunham to the mat
on the feet you could give it to either guy.. but dunham doesnt have the ability to starch him before he gets clinched and taken down
he's just not that kind of striker. He doesnt have the power
so 50/50 on a fight where if it goes to the ground, Tibau will be on top, and on the feet neither guy has a significant advantage
sounds good to meComment -
If I were going to bet that fight, and let me make it clear that I am not, I would be on Dunham.Comment -
Tibau should win a decision IMOOriginally posted by HannibalComment -
Is Bigfoot kotn +1500 a good hedge for reem? Or would big foot by tko/ko be better, last time I checked silva by ko was like +475 and dropped from +750Comment -
Sounds good to me too.Originally posted by HannibalComment -
this article says aldo has bad cut over the eye. i thought aldo would win easily but now im goin2 lay off this fight
Comment -
funny i thought the cut over frankie's left eye was more obviousComment -
Anyone have Jay Heiron over Woodley?Comment -
i got not woodely itd -350Comment -
I want to bet on Heiron but I see Woodley clipping him and ending the fight.Comment -
i lean towards woodley he's more athletic and explosiveComment -
Comment -
He did look a lil darker than Hieron at the weigh in so I tend to agree.Originally posted by ImsmarterthanuComment -
Woodley will destroy him.Originally posted by ImsmarterthanuComment -
reem to bigfoot at 5:20 "you're a dead man" " a dead man"Comment -
I played him at +130. If you can hang with Askren for 5 rounds you can deal with woodley on short noticeOriginally posted by BradbatrossComment -

LOL, whats up my dude...? Maia is at +180 now should have waited on that line.. FML.. Listen here you meat-headed shit stack; I never said Benavidez was a
... I have been cold as ice lately, so you guys would be wise to autofade all of my plays. However, I honestly have yet to hear anybody breakdown this fight in terms of how Edgar is going to pull this off... The only way I see Edgar winning besides a fluke injury or DQ is if he does a Clay Guida or a Jon Fitch for all five rounds, avoiding the stand up at all costs... If Frankie stands with Aldo, he will lose, quickly imo. Round 2-3 TKO for Aldo is what I am calling.
You coming to town today or are you hanging out at the losers lounge with the rest of the desert trash? If you want to watch them at mi casa, I will buy the card, or we can roll to DTF wild wings and watch them with Aaron and Boozer.. Holla at me my *****..Comment -
i guess since since Aldo kicked a few guys who have trouble getting out of the way of kicks his kicks should work on anyone. I wonder why Bendo didn't kick Frankies legs into oblivion? Surely a great kicker like Bendo could have had a field day doing it.
When Frankie catches Aldo's third kick and throws him down on the matt with a few elbows following, i think Aldo might rethink throwing kicks like Bendo did when Frankie made an adjustment. Aldo is fast with his hands just like Swick is. They throw looping shots. Frankie will pick him apart on the feet. He just has to be smart and not get caught which seems to be his Achilles heel.Comment -

So.... Faber has trouble getting out of the way of kicks, forgot how to wrestle and this is why he got his ass handed to him by Aldo...? Chad Mendes (Better wrestler than Edgar) just forgot how to catch a kick and Aldo's flying knee was a fluke...? Cub Swanson and Matt Brown are just cans who Aldo was given as easy fights...?
Now I'll be serious for one minute. I think you are correct about the potential takedowns from Edgar. Frankie is smart (He proved that to me in the second fight with Benson), and if he sticks to a takedown/layNPray/Clay Guida game plan, he has a path to victory using his wrestling.. I personally don't think Edgar will do this.. Edgar's speed also concerns me as he is prob the second fastest fighter behind Aldo, however I think Aldo will be faster.. I don't think Frankie will "pick apart" Aldo standing.. Frankie is also having to cut weight for the first time and if it goes into the deeper rounds, he could fade.. I think you are underestimating how fast Aldo is. Frankie's strengths are his speed and footwork, and Aldo has him on both of those imo.
I do appreciate your opinion, no disrespect.
