Mixed Martial Arts - UFC 135 Matchup - Eddie Yagin -145

Yagin is going to knock Junior out within two rounds. He will catch him. If not, then he will certainly win the decision. This is a solid play. Had a good line on Ken Stone last week we cashed in on, have another opportunity here this week. Yagin is definetly the better striker. I don't think Junior will be able to take him to the floor, as Yagin has spectacular TDD. Junior likes to stand and box, which is where Yagin will capitalize, very likely in the first ten minutes. Possibly within five. He is only -145 because he is unknown. This line is a STEAL.


Mixed Martial Arts - UFC 135 Matchup - Nick Ring +130

I think I'm the only person here who thinks Nick Ring is going to take this. I really am not sure how. I could see Tim Boetsch winning this fifty different ways, but I can't really see how Nick Ring will-- I just feel he is going to. It could be with a knock out. With a decision... But most likely with a submission. I expect him to come out quick and put on a kickboxing clinic. Hopefully, Boetsch will tire out in round three, and Nick will put him away. At +130, though, there really isn't much value in Nick Ring. I expected him to be a +200 favorite. Wouldn't be surprised if he opened at +250. I like him to win this fight, and am personally betting on him. I don't love the line, though, so it's far from a steal. This is a fight we should be staying away from, but I've been feeling positive about Nick. I feel like the UFC is throwing him to the wolves in this fight, and he will overcome, 'cos he's a bad fuhgin' wolf, himself.


Mixed Martial Arts - UFC 135 Matchup - Josh Koscheck -500

Lock. First Round KO. I could see it in Matt Hughes' eyes, he knows he is done. This is a safe bet.


Mixed Martial Arts - UFC 135 Matchup - Tony Ferguson -305

I put this bet in days ago, so the line has gone up. My book has him at -360. He's my main lock tonight. I could safely put locks on everyone besides Nick Ring. Ferguson has dropped to 155 for this fight, he is a big 155. Riley used to fight at 170, so it's not like he's a small 155, either. Tony is on his way up. I see him climbing the ranks in the UFC, starting with this fight. He is the better striker and better wrestler. He wins by knock out within the distance.


I am still contemplating Diaz/Gomi--

I can't see Rampage winning, but I might put something small on him. Then maybe include Jones in a parlay.

Good luck bro, are you in Denver for the weigh ins ?

Don't joke about that.

no joke, That's what my hard earned money is on.

You're actually betting on Aaron Riley? To knock out Tony Ferguson? You could have found a better way to give money away.

Aaron Riley wasn't able to beat guys I could see Ferguson beating rather easily.

[NunyaBidness]

I don't know if anyone can know enough about Ferguson to justify laying -300 on him.

[cheeese]

I would have to agree with that. He is not fighting Bruce Leroy. If he doesn't finish Riley then you are going to have to fade the judges scoring 3 rounds of kickboxing.

I'm not touching ferg cause of the high juice, but I really can't see riley winning this one. Tferg is better everywhere this fight goes, and better by a lot. I got first round stoppage via tony. However, if you see something in riley the odds are nice and he has a puncher's chance.

[gabe]

el cucuy is coming this saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all you need to know.

I'll give you the wrestling edge but I'm not seeing the rest. We'll see.

You don't see that he's a much superior boxer? And that his defense is great?

[gabe]

Curious if anybody if following me on anything, especially the Yagin fight?

more online-nerd humor?

[gabe]

Damn, it's so easy to have haters on the internet. You'd think with a record like mine, I'd have some respect. Not many decent guys on this forum, gotta say.

I've been doing really well with UFC, so I came here to share my picks and help out... But you're not good people and I'm not really enjoying sharing anything with you, 'cos all I get in return is a bunch of sh!t, so this will likely be my last time.

You keep saying that, but then you keep posting.

Also, isn't your record a bit like Rickson Gracie's 500-0?

[ghost kid]

Not really concerned with your record. But EXTREMELY concerned with your post fight analysis of Koch-Brookins. Really showed a lack of knowledge - tough to trust any future MMA opinions after reading that rubbish.

Showed a lack of knowledge? Knowledge of what? I saw Brookins be the better of the two guys that sucked. If you saw it different, I'm happy for you.

Brookins did zero in that fight, but Koch did less than zero. In all other fights I've seen where one fighter just sits and lays an egg on the other fighter, that boring fighter ends up winning. In this case, boring Brookins lost, which I didn't get, so I expressed my feelings about it. I have feelings about a fight so that means I can't continue to make good picks? Are you shitting me?

And I'm not trying out as an ESPN analyst, I'm picking fights, so I don't know wtf you're talking about.

[gabe]

I already told you I don't like you. You are a stupid person. I only said I was gonna leave after the first thread I posted, then was asked to stay. Once. One time doesn't qualify as "keep saying" and I was asked to stay so it's not like I went back on my word. You're an idiot.

My record is 49-12, since UFC 126, and 7-3 since being on this forum. Now, blow me.

[gabe]

I think I'm done here. I was hoping there would be guys here I would get along and possible be friends with. Wanted this to be a place I came to talk with buds, not argue with miserable pricks.

Keep in touch with me via twitter, if you care.

Don't be like that Gabe

[homosayswhat]

You want friends but all you do is bash. So not sure if you understand how to go about the art of making them

BOL to ya...and word of advise...never play -500...a bit much no...hahahaha

But come on an enourage rather than bash all day...and just maybe folks will enjoy you being around...

BOL to ya
Hope you win today
PEACE

[Chairib]

Gabe you seem like a good guy. Don't let these other bullies get you down buddy.

[FlashinLeather]

Not a fan of props? Seems like you have a lot of stock in KO's and early why not bet inside the distance on the Yagin and Kos fights?

never bashed ya, just said you shouldn't call every play an easy play. some of them you have to like more than others, and the ones you like best should only be the easy ones.

thanks.

I wish, man, but my current bookie doesn't offer prop bets. I'm gonna be making a parlay or two.

[gabe]

Shit, they aren't letting me parlay this week either after I hit my 6 teamer last week... Think I need a new bookie.
