awesome. had no idea there was an event Friday.

Legacy FC 32 and Glory 17 are on Friday. WSOF 10 is Saturday evening.

I'm betting this one smallish. I took the over 4½ rounds on the female Strawweight title fight between Jessica Aguilar & Emi Fujino; same on the main event between David Branch & Jesse Taylor with the inaugural Middleweight belt on the line. On the Georgi K. vs Rick Glenn Welterweight championship fight I took the under 3½ rounds. Also bet Jesse Taylor straight up and a parlay of Aguilar + Georgi K.

[Dwil125]

I'm on the U4.5 in the Aguilar fight. Does Branch have good Tdd? I missed his last couple fights, but I saw him fight DJ I think it was last year.

[Wilbo86]

The current line on the under on the gergi/Glenn fight is delicious.

Emi Fujino has never been stopped in 26 pro & amateur fights. Are you expecting Jessica Aguilar will be the first to do so? It's certainly a possibility, but +155 isn't enough for me to take that gamble.

[Dwil125]

She's never fought outside of Japan either or been scheduled to fight 5x5 min rounds. Some of her fights have even been 2x5 mins. It's a pretty big change for her, and she's a grappling based fighter facing a superior grappler which is hard to deal with. Everyone she fought and lost a decision to wasn't very good, except of course mega megu.
I'm a little worried that she couldn't do it when they fought

Betting for a finish in a fight with fighters who haven't been finished, cool

-edit- nvm someone already pointed this out lol

Yes but Jibby logic would say that the under is due to happen.

[JIBBBY]

^^^Good info on the women gents...

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jessica-Aguilar-15174

Might be worth a play on the underdog Emi for a few small bucks with those odds being offered up.. Aguilar is the poster girl for WSOF and she certainly is not expected to lose this bout though..

Ronster - there is no dueness due in over/unders.. LOL..

[JIBBBY]

Does Branch have good Tdd?

http://themmareport.com/2013/09/wsof...llo-villefort/

Decent doubles..... Can he take down Team Quests Jessie Taylor? Perhaps.......http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/David-Branch-32431

I'm kinda liking Branch's chances in this bout... Hell bent on a play though.. Tough pick to call..

[NunyaBidness]

So, are we all just wikicapping now?

[mmaed]

Branch was able to stuff a lot of rumbles takedowns.

It's getting really depressing. The level of analysis has gone down, despite the level of intelligence seemingly going up. I think the problem is that we're getting some intelligent guys who just don't know shit about MMA, coupled with some legitimate idiots.

I think the board is just as funny as it was a year ago despite Gabe's face turn.

This board now and always will be a comedy board first and foremost followed by forum for rooster talk.

MMA is way down on the list of discussions.

Then what does Thor come here for? He never laughs, and he vomits with rage if you mention cack around his asshole.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Am I drunk or did someone srsly post sherdog fighter links?

Also, MD - Thor is here for the tasty food recipes...

[Vaughany]

Haha

He's been doing it for months. Same guy who said Jason High needed to keep it standing against dos Anjos and try to stuff all of his takedowns. He is absolutely cancerous to the board, which is a shame, because he's not a bad guy, but Jesus, man, I want to visit this forum less and less every time I see him jibbying around.

[gabe]

wtf no one is talkin about my boiii georgiooooooooo

Well, lead by example then MD and up the level of bout conversations on the event threads.. Love to read up on some fight predictions or inside fighter stuff from ya but instead it's just always complaints or internet battles between you and other guys..

Now that gets depressing after a while...

Hey, If the Sherdog and Wiki links I post up bothers some of you guys I won't do it anymore.. Just ment as a quick look in source in reference to that post topic but not the end all for handicapping...

I really don't get all the hate for Wiki and Sherdod fighter links as I find them very useful.. Helps with the overall breakdown... You guys too smart and cool for that?

Hmmm?? Confused really....

[JIBBBY]

HOW ABOUT TYSON GRIFFIN, is he washed up now? Chin and confidence gone? Too stationary of target and predictable these days? Abandoned his wrestling maybe too now? Should this be a no play even against a guy like Luiz Fermino whom is actually favored going in????

Thoughts, no Sherdog or Wiki links on this post..

[Skel]

Mods, please rename Jibby to Sherdog Holmes

You're not wrong.

As for wiki and sherdog links, I'll give you an analogy; imagine if you were working at Burger King (look around the forum for inspiration), and you were pretty good at your job. You can reproduce pretty much any item on the menu from muscle memory, and do it well. You know the store inside and out. One day, a new guy shows up, and he insists on telling you every single day not to forget to put ketchup on the burgers.

[JIBBBY]

^^ Fair enough MD... I think that's being a little silly though if you ask me.. Keeping it real - it sounds more like some of you guys are just trying to act cool, project such an MMA brilliance on line that you don't even need to look, read or even consider Sherdog and Wiki links. That would be a mistake if that's the case....

I always believe more information is good information, I though I was being helpful with the quick look in record links as it saves time and helps reference on same web page..

I thought of posting last fight vids for the fighters in discussion links too.. Just trying to help, inform and be a team player always. Also rather win money then look cool and seem brilliant online

[Dwil125]

Betting for a finish in a fight with fighters who haven't been finished, cool

-edit- nvm someone already pointed this out lol

Abosolutely, I think the line is a little off. It's not an overbet or anything, and I'm surprised you guys thought I wouldn't realize fujino has never been finished

[Thor4140]

Then what does Thor come here for? He never laughs, and he vomits with rage if you mention cack around his asshole.

u would be surprised how much i laugh. I have been working a lot so i can't be around much. I come here cause my old site is dying a slow death and there is more traffic here. Not sure if there are new guys here or just new names. By the way in my handicapping notes i think this weekend was the weekend Fedor got beat.

I don't think anyone's objective is to look cool on an online forum... Well...maybe my boy skel, but that's about it you shouldn't really need to go to sherdog to look up who these guys are if this is the main sport you bet on. You should already know this stuff just by how many events you watch and how much tape and notes you have.

Let me give you the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you on this forum: we know where the ketchup is.

[Wilbo86]

MD, that burger king analogy made me chuckle for how it was somehow both non remarkable and obscure. Lol, well done.

[JIBBBY]

Let me give you the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you on this forum: we know where the ketchup is.

If you say so..

Reviewing and even re-reading the basics and obviousness of a fighter keeps the mind refreshed and up to date.. Nothing falls thru the cracks so to speak.. If you are a step ahead and bets are already in then reading the post, wiki, sherdog, or whatever don't apply then... If waiting, researching, still trying to figure out style match up, trends, etc, then the basics can help even with a 2nd go over I would think.

Unless you have a photo graphic memory and don't need refreshing which I don't have, then the quick record and history links help when going back to the post come wager time.. I was never good at remembering my homework anyways.. ..

Received and understood MD anyways - Hey but knowing where the ketchup is doesn't always guarantee there is ketchup in the bottle...

[JIBBBY]

I don't think anyone's objective is to look cool on an online forum.

Sure about that Dwil?

MMA is tough sport to bet on.. Sometimes u r hot sometimes u r not.. Doing your homework isn't always good enough... Few players are consistent and win regularly.. That's where I want to be.. Make a living on the side with this... Came on this forum to turn it up a notch.. Learn the gambling side of MMA betting.. So far so good...

Thanks guys!!!! Live betting is cool... Money to be made with that for sure..

[JIBBBY]

HOW ABOUT TYSON GRIFFIN, is he washed up now? Chin and confidence gone? Too stationary of target and predictable these days? Abandoned his wrestling maybe too now? Should this be a no play even against a guy like Luiz Fermino whom is actually favored going in????

Thoughts, no Sherdog or Wiki links on this post..

Ok no replies or comments on this fight so I will give it a shot -

Tyson Griffin is a grinder and can wrestle, we all know him well.. He's well rounded and experienced but his chin, head movement and timing are slowing and or are all suspect now, but he's facing a guy that doesn't knock out people.. Ideal matchup for TG I believe.. WSOF has set the big UFC name up for a win.. Tyson has fought the best in the past and came from the UFC.. Luiz not so the case but he does come from the BlackZilians which is saying something...

My underdog pick of this card anyways will be Tyson Griffin.. No guarantees but I think he will simply out work and out grind Luiz for a decision win... Over round bet REALLY looks good in this one also!!!

Sorry can't help myself....lol... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Luiz-Firmino-1978
