[Nick Nacho]

There are some EASY locks here for a parlay. Not gonna make you a lot of money here, but this is what I got;

Jones vs Texiera
Texiera's only chance for a win is KO. Everyone has a punchers chance but with Jones's reach that is unlikely to happen and Jones is too smart to find on the inside against glover.
I got Jones via UD 50-45

Anthony Johnson Vs Phil Davis
Again only a punchers chance for Johnson and that is VERY unlikely to happen considering Davis has never been finished and has a MUCH higher fighter IQ than Johnson. Davis will use his range and takedowns when necessary to outpoint him the whole fight
Davis by easy UD 30-27

Luke Rockhold vs Tim Boetsch
After an embarrassing KO loss to Vitor Belfort, Rockhold will be looking to make a statement in this fight. Also, as highly regarded prospect from Strikeforce, the UFC is looking to give Rockhold a win by tossing him a fighter who is a gatekeeper at best. Boetsch has pulled off upsets in the past but against an undersized Lombard and an overated Okami. No upset will happen in this fight as I see Rockhold being the better fighter everywhere.

Rockhold by tko/or UD

Joseph Benavidez vs. Timothy Elliott
Benavidez is the number 2 flyweight in the world.. If not for that fluke KO against mighty mouse he could easily be the flyweight champ. So unless there is another fluke.. No way Benavidez losses this fight.

Kalikas?!

[Beelzebubzy]

Where's the parlay then?

[latarianmilton]

i think rumble has a good shot at winning, but i expected him to be around +220

[Nick Nacho]

Where's the parlay then?

parlay all 4

[Nick Nacho]

Rumble won't win.... Davis has far superior wrestler, and a much much higher fighter iq. Meaninng he is not dumb enough to caught by a ko punch from rumble

[mmaed]

I could see jones tkoing glover in the later rounds. He is a big muscle bound guy so i expect him to tire. I imagine jones will be attemptingto use his reach and throwing alot of kicks to the body. I would take into consideration that bader almost knocked him out.

i would add that phil has a decent shot at submitting rumble.

Not touching luke rockhold. I expect him to in but that line is not worth it. Especially with the power tim has.

i like benavidez but im a little hesitant to bet him. Elliot seems to be a super tough guy with decent takedown defense and a pretty high volume striker. Benavidez is better than him in every single area but i could see tim making this fight somewhat close or even winning a bs decision becaue he pushed forward. Kind of like ehat clay guida does. Add in diego sanchez. Most likely joeb catches him with something big and gets him to the ground and submits him or manages to win a decision.

Good luck. If i were you i would probably leave out rockhold just because he doesnt really bring any value. Maybe rockhold by decision would be a good straight bet for you. He doesnt temd to submit guys amd tims chin is very solid. At even money its a solid bet considering what his odds are straight.

[Nick Nacho]

But on a parlay it doesn't hurt to put Rockhold in there.. he's a lock

Need more chalk. Not bisping by sub and not browne by sub as well brah

I don't know what you mean brah.... Yes, it would be a cold day in hell if Bisping and Browne win by sub... wont happen

[Nick Nacho]

If you throw down $100 on a 3 way parlay and leave Rockhold out.. you win $118. If you put Rockhold in on a 4 way you win $143. So, why not take the extra $25??

[Vaughany]

I agree son, throw them all in together, free cheeseburgerz

[Rubber Guard]

I;m betting Tex.

[Nick Nacho]

I;m betting Tex.

How is Tex going to win?

[Rubber Guard]

How is Tex going to win?

Stuff all the takedowns with his very good wrestling then knock out Jon Jones with his fist.

[Educ8d Degener8]

If you throw down $100 on a 3 way parlay and leave Rockhold out.. you win $118. If you put Rockhold in on a 4 way you win $143. So, why not take the extra $25??

One might suggest that Rockhold shouldn't be -800 against a seasoned gatekeeper like Boetsch... Oh nvm...

[Beelzebubzy]

How is Tex going to win?

Broken toe

[Nick Nacho]

Will never happen bro. Jones will use his reach and keep his distance.. He knows better then to fight on the inside and get into a slug fest with TEX. Jones wins any day of the week

[Beelzebubzy]

Show the ticket Nacho Cheese

Bobby Green has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 172 confrontation with Jim Miller, Sherdog.com on Saturday confirmed with a source close to the bout.

Miller will instead collide with Yancy Medeiros at the April 26 event, according to the source. Medeiros was initially supposed to face Joe Ellenberger, and it is unknown if “Excalibur” will still compete on the card. The UFC has not yet made an announcement on the expected change.

Shit, I was looking forward to betting that fight.

[agendaman]

value value-all i hear-where is the value in having the wrong side cashiers window is all that counts

[Pabst]

As of now, I only have

1,5u on Elliott/Benavidez goes 3 round distance -150*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Fight won't go 3 round distance

Elliot is a tough mofo and I don't see Benavidez finishing him

Im still waiting to read you guys bets, I might tail some of the great capper of this forum..

Boetsch interview: http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Tim...-UFC-172-66873

On whether he can bully Rockhold: “Absolutely. I feel like I can bully anybody in the middleweight division, and that’s part of the game plan. But I think Luke’s going to come into this one with a little bit different game plan than what everybody’s expecting. I really think he’s working hard on his wrestling and I think he understands that I have the ability to stop this fight with my punching power. I really expect him to try to put me on my back and keep me there.”

[Unwritten Law]

I got Glover this one.

[Becel]

Everything Nick said. These are easy fights. The only thing is that no way Glover lasts 5 rounds, Jones out wrestles him and gets the sub at some point.

Outside chance of an upset is Elliot, but that's about it though.

[Unwritten Law]

Glover is a beast and will knock Jones' head off
