this goes down on the same night as Bellator 123, both cards held 10 mins from each other at casinos in Connecticut. Foxwoods Vs Mohegan Sun

[Wilbo86]

Didn't realize Overeem was fighting Rothwell... Its a good ole fashioned juice off!

[Lick496]

this card is legit

[brooks85]

[Crassus]

Might go see this live if the tickets aint bad.

tickets are pretty steep for a non-ppv card, imo. the $100/seats are sold out already, so the cheapest available are $200.

[Beelzebubzy]

Lauzon!!

No kidding, that's total BS. Guess I'm going to Bellator instead. Real shame, seeing Big Ben fight live woulda been awesome. Wisconsin pride.

its a pretty decent bellator card, fwiw. and you can probably get tickets for 1/4th the price of ufc.

Hell yeah dude, I love me some Pitbull Bro's. Yeah dude, $30 for nosebleeds, $60 for decent and $200 for floor.

Bellator tixx going for $25 - got the e-mail from Mohegan earlier today - apparently they can't get rid of them for free

this card is legit

It certainly is.

[Jim_Gunn]

Great card, I'll have to watch this live and DVR Bellator 123.

[Bumdeal]

Watch them both. Dvr bellator and watch between UFC fights. Bet on everything. Ohhhh yeaaa

I'll have some limited action on Bellator, but I like to listen to all the commentary and walkouts and stuff so I'm going to have to go back to back.

[Skel]

Crazy how blue Iaquinta's face got when Clarke choked him out:

[Beelzebubzy]

I may bet on Natal. This is a sad day in Bubzy life.

[Bumdeal]

Natal as a favorite? No thank you

[Beelzebubzy]

Natal as a favorite? No thank you

Camozzi was very inactive from the bottom in his last fight. In addition, he was taken down with relative ease if I recall correctly. Natal may have no chin but Camozzi will have to push the pace and force clinches to score powerful strikes. If he moves forward aggressively, Natal or the wind could take Camozzi down.

[Bumdeal]

I hear ya. I will have to review this fight, I haven't dug in yet. I do remember Natal getting Tor down and controlling him the entire fight. Maybe there is value in Natal, but I'd feel really dirty paying -175 for him.

What up peps????

Thought to come back and just stick with the event threads... Figure I can't get into too much trouble just doing that... I miss shooting the shiit with some of you twisted bastards anyways...

Looking at the 2 main fights in this event... Quick thoughts...

- Rothwell is tough guy to put away, Reem could blow his wade in the 1st round and then get dropped perhaps, that is if Ben is still standing at the end of the 1st round... At +440 I think Ben Rothwell has a chance in this one.. Reem hasn't shown us much in recent fights anyways...

An even better bet to consider is the Prop bet - Ben Roth wins inside the distance +545

- Mousasi and Souza, the common thought is Souza can and should grapple hump Mousasi and eventually sub him out... Standing though Mousasi should be able to bang with Souza and avoid the big bombs... maybe even KO Souza.. Thinking Mousasi does have decent take down defense so you never know? .. At +230 Mousasi could be worth the play...

[JIBBBY]

Matt Mitrione vs Derrick Lewis...

Derrick Lewis is a scary dude, my guess is Meat Head probably gets dropped by DL late in the 1st.... Matt Mitrione is fighting a beast in Derrick Lewis and I don't see how he can win this fight.. My money will be on Derrick Lewis anyways at -150..

Hahahaha

No letter V but that ordeal did spook me.. Had to take some time away from this beast.. Nobody wants their personal life messed with stemming from a silly gambling forum..

I see Keyboard hasn't been posting lately, wonder if he got banned for that? I guess my Bruce Lee funny pics finally pissed him off...

I'm just getting back to the Event threads and my winning ways for now.

[Bumdeal]

Carefully constructed scenario to get him out of his match with Nunya..

Good to see ya back Jibster. I'm not sure who I have next in the tournament (mirinqueer never made any plays, chickened out & did not meet the deadline posted by Nunya) but if you want you can post your picks vs me just for fun. We can also include Bellator. I'll have 2 separate plays. One for you (Bellator & UFC) & one for my next victim in the tournament (just UFC). Be back tomorrow. I have some tape to watch.
