LOL....

Just woke up and saw that Sweeney got dropped in the 3rd.. That's what you call rude awakenings!!!

....

What the hell happen in this fight? Did Roger suddenly learn standup, did he get a lucky kick in? Did Sweeney gas in the 3rd??

Somebody? Anybody? Bueler, Bueler?

Good call Sider... I thought Sweeney would clock Roger standing and send him right back into retirement again.... Roger wasn't even sure if he wanted to stay in the sport..

Well that fight blew up in my face.. Should have listened to you Sider!!!!! 200 bucks right down the toilet for this guy.. Invicta to the rescue tonight hopefully.....

Just looking it over and I'm backing a lot of dogs tomorrow night (Lawler, Gil, Abel, Samman, Raquel, Hobar). Hopefully its one of those types of nights.

**mmaed** · 12-05-14, 03:02 PM

how did mcsweeney do in rounds 1 and 2? Did anyone score either of them for him?

Are you banking on the layoff for Hendricks? I'm all over Gil but I don't think I like Lawler in this one.

Agreed.. I'm seeing alot of dog plays all over this card as well..

More that I see value in the line on Lawler - I capped Hendricks as the favorite but at +205 played value on Robbie - also played the handicap on Robbie - and not Hendricks ITD. I bet on my edge based on my capping even if it means I'm betting guys I don't think will win. I don't think Johny wins 67% of the time.

He won at least one round, id say he won first, gracie second. But tht was only cos gracie was so bad...mcsweeney wasnt hurting gracie or anything to win the round, he just landed a couple leg kicks and a glancing blow head kick in first

**UncleChael** · 12-05-14, 03:45 PM

Hendricks and Pettis won't lose, Mark my words!

This fight is tricky cos its hard to tell just how significant tht apparent bicep tear was in first round of tht last fight. Can tell from all the interviews and laimons chat tht takedowns are going to be a key part of their strategy in this rematch.

I would of thought Sweeney would of used that neck crank he used in the TUF house and submit Gracie. so surprised at the outcome.

I think Samman +3.5 points handicap at -150 is reasonable value.

Im sure he was just about to use it before he got ko'd by Hoger!!

Hobar +3.5 is +145. That's not bad IMO. Hobar might be able to outwrestle him. IF he makes it all three rounds I would consider it likely he wins at least one of them.

I worry about Samman losing control of his emotions and going ape shit in there, fight ending inside the distance either way. He's a smart dude but.. the event is on his girl's bday..

Played this as well - along with not Pettis ITD and a sprinkle on Hobar by dec

Appreciate this most generous offer Beelz..

After careful consideration I gotta respectively decline your offer as I already placed a while back on Bovada at +175.. May play on 5D at +178 as well not sure yet..

**Keyboard Warrior** · 12-05-14, 05:38 PM

Jibby you're picked on here(I dont agree with it, bullying is never the answer) but you would be a top 1 percent poster on sherdog. My mind melts reading that site.

Reminds me of pros picking Poirier over McGregor. Melendez has a chance here but I haven't seen one bettor or pundit picking him outright.

**Skel** · 12-05-14, 09:25 PM

Samman behaving oddly at weigh-ins. Not entirely sure what to make of it.

**imadegen** · 12-05-14, 09:34 PM

i think both champs defend.
