UFC Fight Night: Swanson vs. Stephens (June 28, 2014)

[MD]

Happy to have constructive discussions but won't be engaging in personal feuds any more.

If it matters, I'll go on the record and say I have decent sized plays on Swanson to Win and ITD. If you want to prove how much of a moron I am feel free to post you opinions and plays on the fight and your reasoning.

^ I think you're both good guys. No idea why you'd argue with each other; neither of you is stupid, and I think you should lay off a bit, Ron. For what it's worth, I think Wilbo's one of the good posters who's making an effort to contribute. If my handicapping is as good as I think it is, I'm pretty sure you're the kind of person, Ron, who appreciates when people try earnestly. He's not here to be a dick or flaunt his ego, so why not redirect to those who are?

[Wilbo86]

As in rogan creams over andersons style then when he is tooling dudes with his style, then when somebody finally connects and puts him out its suddenly because andersons style was asking for it.

Haha yeah exactly what I was getting at

I will say he was a bit more balanced with wineland, at least mentioned his head movement and some of the positives

[PaperTrail07]

damn right looking to make a name for himself he has put in the work

Musoke is focussed and has trained hard tho

[PaperTrail07]

yuuuup the drop down has turned him into a new fighter

Are you being serious? Featherweight Jeremy Stephens looks nothing like lightweight Jeremy Stephens. He's far from what he was, should be obvious if you watch tape.

Haha i was mocking jibbeh

Oh the irony...... MD is a peace maker now.

Oh, I do like this forum section.. Much drama is unfolding right before our eyes....


Ok, back to the fights.. About to come up with a complete card breakdown link.. At work now!!!...

[JIBBBY]

Main Card - Short breakdowns with vids to help with your capping and picks.... http://whatculture.com/ufc/6-main-ca...s-stephens.php

I don't know about you guys but up until fight time I do try to read as many prediction and breakdown reports as possible so I can gather bits and pieces of info to ad to what I already know.. Then make the most logical bet plays and most times after viewing the weigh ins also..

I'll try to post up the ones I think are the best with the most factual information in the future.. Part of my job anyways.....

[Pmoney]

Yes. I have been following this forum since January 2014 and Jibbeh amuses me

[JIBBBY]

What am I here to amuse you? Do I look like a clown?

[Pmoney]

JIbbaaaarrrrhhhhh

[Vaughany]

Jibbbbeeeehhhhhh!

[JIBBBY]

Really Liking Recardo Lamas -200 in this one the more I look over this card...

Dude is a really good fighter when healthy and he's healthy right now!!!..I'm thinking Dias isn't gonna bring enough to beat Lamas in this one.. I'm on this play for sure......

[Vaughany]

How do u know he is healthy right now jibbeh?

[JIBBBY]

How do u know he is healthy right now jibbeh?

I know what you are doing V I'm onto you pal...

Answer it anyways.. LOL...

Lamas is fighting twice in half a years time, he hasn't done that forever... Last fight was with JOSE ALDO February of this year.. Decision loss which is respectable..... Lamas stated on line that he is healthy and has been the most active he's been in years.. He's ready to go coming off that Aldo loss, before that he won 4 straight. Lamas doesn't do losing streaks....

Unless he got injured in the last couple weeks, he's healthy.... He's fighting a very tough dude in Hacran Dias though.. Comes from the same Jose Aldo camp which only helps him prepare better.. Should be a great fight!!!

Found the ketchup bottle, can't help myself.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ricardo-Lamas-32051

Gonna have to make a play on Joe Ellenberger at -230..

This should be easy money right here fellas.. Twin Brother of Jake will be ready for this chump James MoonTsari 7-1.. This should be a wrestling clinic right from the start if I had to guess..

Brother Jake even says Joe gets the better of him when wrestling together in workouts these days.. That's saying something!!!!

Moontsari is dangerous standing but Joe has enough stand up to hang and should fully be able to work his way inside for the take downs without being dropped in the process..

Chalk it up boys!!!!

[Grabaka]

Save your money Jibbeys!

[JIBBBY]

Save your money Jibbeys!

Grabaka, now why would ya say that bud? Always take the far superior grappler over the MT champs at the elite levels, no?..

The only way Joe gets used is by catching a knee coming in, or getting caught in a nasty MT clinch and taking those up knees. Not gonna happen... If Moonstari starts throwing kicks he will end up on his back..

Joe has a bunch of KO's on his record anyways and he's not lost standing and striking even if it remains there which it won't.. He's fighting a taller fighter with length and that should only make it easier for him to take him down.. Submission defense is solid with the Ellenberger boys from the top positions also..

I think it's a solid play anyways.. We see..

Jon Anik <s>@</s>Jon_Anik <small class="time"> 2m </small> Kelvin Gastelum weighed 172 3/4 lbs. on his second attempt. Forfeits 20% of his fight purse.

[Unwritten Law]

The odds are off, I think Stephens will take out Cub.

[bjpenn85]

sure. if the odds are off, stephens must win.is that "the new rule"?.

[Imsmarterthanu]

if stephens comes in with that wild haymaker shit i feel like swanson is gonna fire that one quick short shot and ko him

[bjpenn85]

stephans is so out of balance when hes winging he turns 180 frequently.

[PaperTrail07]

Cub will win it. Tko.

[PaperTrail07]

Musoke to finish kg.

[mirinquads]

Stephens is underrated, has developed a lot. I do expect Cub to take it. Taking not to go the distance though, instead of ML.

[JIBBBY]

Ok the continued madness begins in a few...

1st fight up on this card ya gotta like the experienced 2 time Sambo world champ Oleksiy Oliynyk -135.. Probably win by sub in the first or second round is my best guess..



This is one of those cards that I pretty much like all the favorites from start to finish.. Don't really have a dog pick set up in this event. Well one in Clint Hester but at +130 not much of a dog.. Andrew Craig I was considering but he'll probably get sub'd out at some point..

[shabang]

cub via ko/tko round 1 .. calling it now
