Stephen Thompson Moderate
Cerrone Moderate
Story Moderate

JDS Hunt goes to a Dec Moderate
Maynard by dec. Moderate
Glover Te-Huna has a finish Small
Story-Pyle goes the distance Small

Hunt by KO Very Small
Cerrone by Sub Very Small

**Rubber Guard** · 05-24-13, 03:24 PM

Would you not just play Silva KOTN at +1650 if you were going to play him? Only way he really wins is a KO/TKO. Same with Hunt at +1100 even though he does have a chance at a dec if JDS stands with him the whole fight.

**The iron sheik** · 05-24-13, 03:27 PM

other than being really small on Hunt it seems I have fav plays, like half a dozen of them

goddamn, this is going to be an expensive UFC

Tyson still looks like a gorilla. Damn he has some crazy genetics, bet he doesn't work out that much any more.

**Sykes** · 05-24-13, 06:44 PM

Yeah Khabib looked to have had a bad cut, easily pissed at the stare off. Te Huna looked a little scare imo nothing much else to note from it.

Loool

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 05-24-13, 07:46 PM

TJ Grant approaching +200 you can really make a case to bet him here. Maynard's last 3 opponents Guida/Edgar/Florian are all smaller guys who moved down to 145, Grant is a much bigger opponent who has moved down from 170. Will Maynard be able to "bully" TJ. I think most people think of Maynard busting up Edgar early in the 2nd and 3rd fights, but look at the split decision over Guida, Diaz, Huerta. Also can't forget Maynard turns 34 in a couple months not exactly a young fighter anymore

im all over grant

Maynard wrecked Huerta, and fought Diaz entirely on the feet; Diaz shot for takedowns but Maynard didn't. That Guida fight was... well, nothing more needs to be said about it. Florian is by no means a smaller guy. He makes a rumblecut to get to 145.

I'm a little bit worried for Maynard as he may be on the decline, but honestly, it's a good match up for him stylistically. Grant has pretty bad takedown defence.

**Beelzebubzy** · 05-24-13, 08:31 PM

same here hit it at +175 will hit again

**The iron sheik** · 05-24-13, 08:37 PM

gaynard going to hump all day for a boring decision and if that happens, -60000 on people crying about that decision for two days straight here

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 05-24-13, 08:39 PM

**Kaladarus** · 05-24-13, 09:04 PM

Not even pink anti-bully shorts can save Grant here.

khabib nurmagomedov ‏@khabib131h
He disrespected me behind the scenes. But I'll make him do it in the cage

**MonkeyMoney** · 05-24-13, 10:57 PM

so khabib wants to get dissed in the cage? i dont get it

abel is my best dog play on the card

MD · 05-24-13, 11:06 PM

I've been watching tape on Khabib, he strikes me as awful even though I know he's not. He sure knows how to win though. Jesus, that Tibau decision was ridiculous.

**MonkeyMoney** · 05-24-13, 11:40 PM

the only thing that worries me about abel is how he will deal with the russian just rushing with strikes as he does.. but im sure he watched plenty of tape and the blackzillians are turning things around

I wouldn't bank on Trujillo's fight IQ if I were you. He doesn't strike me as an intelligent guy. I think he can win this fight though, Khabib's takedowns suck and his striking is even worse. He usually wins through pure aggression.

MD -- You're a great capper but you tend to overrate "striking technique" IMO.

One of the most important qualities of a fighter is "perception" and "timing" -- that's how "poor strikers" (like Vitor and Khabib) achieve success with their striking.

TIMING AND PERCEPTION > STRIKING TECHNIQUE

I think you're misunderstanding what I mean when I classify a striker as good or bad. Timing is an important facet of striking, and can make or break a striker. Machida is an excellent example of one of the best strikers in MMA with almost no diversity of strikes who gets by due to his extreme timing.

I don't see why you include Nurmagomedov in that category though. I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest that he's even competent in the striking department, especially in regards to timing. Watch the Tibau or Shalorus fights for a good example of how bad his striking is.

It's certainly nothing spectacular and Abel is a much better striker. But his striking seemed pretty crisp when dropped Tavares. I expect a similar "Tibau type fight" and I think he will go for a submission and most likely get it.

**Imsmarterthanu** · 05-25-13, 05:15 AM

found this video thought it was pretty funny it's Rustam Khabilov and Khabib Nurmagomedov playing a UFC video game together in Russia

Crisp? No it didn't it seemed pretty wild, but he covers distance and has a shitload of power because of it. That type of striking surprises a lot of people.

Kahib is excellent fade material, but not on this fight I dont think. He's extreme aggression and confidence make less resilient fighters fold like a lawnchair, which I think is going to happen in this fight. Trujillo strikes me as a front runner and he has been stopped several times already.

I plan on making bank fading him at the right time though, as he will lose eventually.
