Bellator 120: Alvarez vs. Chandler 3 (May 17, 2014)

[FightFightFight]

I vote Jibsy for team mascot, since mmaoddsbreaker stole the last one.

Is Michael Page related to Ram?

Well, Page (, Michael) is from the UK, where Page (, Ram) trained with Wolf's Lair for quite some time. The story I heard is that Rampage and Bisping sired a child, a normal, healthy child, who through a freak series of coincidences ended up in the room while Kongo was buttramming Bisping. As Bisping ushered the child out of the room, Kongo slapped Bisping with his pecker and simply uttered "let the boy watch". The rest is history. Half of his arsenal, he learnt from Kongo on that misty spring night.

This is Kalikas-tier research and 'capping. Even measured their armpit hair.

Should pick on someone your own size. Jibsy should be off limits.

That's fair.

I'll say this; it should be obvious to everyone that JIBBBY says a lot of really amateur-ish things when it comes to MMA (which obviously sounds condescending, I will concede, but is not intended as an insult), but he seems like a legitimately nice guy who's enthusiastic and enjoys being here. I like having those kinds of people around, even if I really dislike reading his posts sometimes.

To be honest, if I didn't like him, I wouldn't even bother replying to him. My days of dealing with marzwoody are over.

[FightFightFight]

The first non-loudmouth to come on here in ages. Kinda refreshing, even though I'm not really up for kumbaya. Total anomaly. If he misbehaves, then we just string him up like the rest.

That's some Cheese level shit right there.

[Vaughany]

When i see Jibby has posted i like to say out loud... "Jibbehhhhh" like "Timmehhhh" in South Park

[Dwil125]

Michael page probably has more experience then rainey with all of his kickboxing matches Jibby.

Anyone have any information on Eric Smith?

Anyone have any information on Eric Smith?

Eric M. Smith (born January 22, 1980) is an American criminal, incarcerated for the murder of four-year-old Derrick Robie (born October 2, 1988) on August 2, 1993, in Steuben County, New York. Smith was convicted of second-degree murder in 1994 and sentenced to the maximum term then available for juvenile murderers—a minimum of nine years to life in prison.

lol my boiii Marzypan is gonna hunt you down for that

[JIBBBY]

Are you insane?

Did you really say he looked "decent and strong" in "most" of his five wins? He's looked like an unbeatable Reinhardt-like God of battle in every single one of his fights, against absolute nobodies, but let's give him his credit. His performances need to be weighted in accordance to his level of competition, but there's absolutely no way you can say he's looked "decent and strong". The whole world is talking about this guy after his performances. He's opening the first ever Bellator PPV in his first big-stage fight. He might have the most impressive-looking resume after five fights of any MMA fighter (key word being "looking", which is what is important to draw viewers).

And he's far faster than Rainey, c'mon man, watch his fights.

You are showing Rainey no respect.. The guy has twice as many pro fights then Michael Page and has fought way stiffer competition.. Sure Page has looked great beating down 5 bums.. I need to see 8-10 fights under his belt before I jump on his band wagon like you are MD... His stock is unproven and over inflated right now..

Rainey will be his toughest opponent he has faced to date, and this will be the biggest stage for Page since going pro.. Let's see how he responds and looks in this bout?

Do I really think either Brooks or Rainey can win IDK? I just think it's a close enough call to take a chance with those huge odds up on the board for both of these fighters...

Did you read my post? You didn't respond to a single point I made, just re-phrased your earlier post. Never said Rainey was a bad bet, or a good bet. There is no "jumping on his bandwaggon", if the impression you got from his fights was that he is "decent and strong", then you're out of your mind. They say little about how he'd do against high level competition, but they've drawn massive public attention and turned him into a huge star. He might be off to the most notable start in MMA history, describing that as "decent and strong" just seems like you're trying to look for reasons to bet against him because you think Rainey is a good bet.

Let me know how ya really feel about me MD?... LOL...

I come in peace and not looking to be the man up in this beast so your title is safe MD... Just looking to share knowledge, chat about the fights and win money hopefully in the end.. I think most of you posting know what you are talking about..

The closest thing I had to a title was "Most Likely to be Homosexual", and BIGDAY and marzwoody both starched me for that title a while back. At least we have Paris.

But yeah, saul good man.

This isn't a kick boxing match, this is a MMA fight in a cage..

Page hasn't fought past the 1st round in any of his 5 fights thus far.. Love to see if Rainey can test his gas tank.. Rainey has gone multiple rounds in his 10 fights.. Page has not.. Rainey has a chance if he can get thru the 1st round is my thinkiing...

Have you watched Rainey's fights? He gasses hard.. he's musclebound. If you're hoping he outlasts Page you could be in trouble.

actually, ignore my comments for now. I haven't capped these fights yet and feel like I may be mixing him up

[Bumdeal]

yeah i'm wrong. who the hell am i thinking of? big musclebound black dude that fought in LFC, I think.

Ram Page.

[JIBBBY]

Anyone have any information on Eric Smith?

Besides him being a serial killer lol...

His last fight a NC, thanks to Herb Dean.. Lost the fight before that by choke basically to a bum, won the rest of his fights mostly by arm bars.. His professional record is 6-1-1 and every fighter he has ever faced was basically a Rummy in a no name MMA organization...

-550 Kongo is probably a safe play in a parlay bet as long he doesn't stick his chin out and get clipped by a lucky punch early on.. This should be an easy win for Kongo is my thinking anyways..

Another side note on Eric Smith - He's only fought 1 time in the last 4 years (the NC stoppage).. Not very active fighter..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Eric-Smith-33534

[Dwil125]

Have you seen any video? I can't find any. It's weird with his last fight, some databases have it as a tko/ko and other ones have it as a NC.

[Bumdeal]

I'd never lay -500 on Kongo's chin.

[JIBBBY]

I'd never lay -500 on Kongo's chin.

Agreed but this Eric guy is a bum and really isn't in the same league as Kongo..

Kongo does certainly seem to have that bad MMA disease called glass jaw but to his credit he did hang in 5 rounds with Vitaly Minakov in his last fight whom is a pretty good striker himself.....

[Vaughany]

Ivanov still Evens on Skybet and +110 on Ladbrokes for my Euro fellaz.

[Pabst]

I am big on Volkov and Shlemenko, parlay + straigth bet. gl gl

[Rubber Guard]

Who would bellator rather win? Schlemenko or Tito? If the Russian loses then it would be fairly sad looking for bellator that the bum that is tito beats their dominant mw champ. But would they rather have the quick buck of tito winning and getting a main event tito fight where they can say he is coming off a win? While schlemenko can go back to 185 still with his title and they can play it off like he was some brave soul going to 205 to take on a MMA legend.?

Either way I am on schlemenko But I was wondering what would be better for bellator?

I'd be very surprised if anyone here (maybe not anyone, but most) thought that Bellator wanted Tito to win. I think they know exactly what kind of matchup Shlemenko is for him.

[MD]

Brooks hit +800.

theyre trying to build up shlemenko as one of bellators top notch homegrown talents and he does that (in theory) on PPV by smashing UFC legend tito ortiz...tito is being used as a stepping stone to build up shlemenko's name and bellators rep for having him under contract...thats how im seeing it...

Agreed. I don't think that they're under any illusions about which fighter has the more utility to them, long-term.

[JIBBBY]

^^ Don't be fooled Shlemenko is a solid fighter whether they build him up or not off a washed up Tito.. He'd be a tough out even if he were in the UFC today....

Can't believe Brooks is + 800 now!!!!

I can't find which bookie is offering up that 800.. Brovada still has Brooks at 600 and Betus.com currently at 600 too..

Where you seeing this MD?
