UFC 181: Hendricks vs. Lawler 2 (December 06, 2014)

[MD]

I don't reduce rents.. I increase them as you should know better V... Lol..

MDisana let's keep this event thread MMA based and not MD based or Jibbby based.. We all know MD is the forum Anti Christ and posting to call him out on it only feeds the fire.. He won't change.. We do need more peps speaking up when MD and his side kick Bava are out of control and polluting the event threads like theyso often do... I commend your efforts anyways..

Progress!

Seems Todd Duffee moved to ATT. Anyone have any more info about this?

Indeed. He left AKA at end of last year as I believe he was setting up some kind of gym (just a fitness based one maybe) with a buddy based in Boca Raton. So made sense to join ATT (it was an amicable split from AKA as far as im aware). Guess he didnt go to Blackzilians as one he isnt black and two he isnt Brazilian! His main sparring partners at ATT have been Shawn Jordan and Steve Mocco (Olympic Wrestler). Bigfoot Silva and King Mo have also been sparring with him occassionaly

I didnt even know that Jordan left Jacksons.

I didnt even know that Jordan left Jacksons.

lol if it was something like the werdum card from a few weeks ago, i wouldn't really care. but definitely didn't want to miss this stacked card.

[shabang]

Nothing like sippin' on tea and watching fights .. lol

[UncleChael]

Hamilton something to look at!

[UncleChael]

Abel Trujilo vs Tony Ferguson can't wait! Somebody's going to sleep!

I knew we had a week off, but of course Kalikas has to pop lines early, because that bitch can't take any time off.

I'm sure he was that kid in school who raised his hand for every question and said, "Oooh, oooh, oooh, pick me, pick me!" and never realized how much the teacher hated him.

What piss me off is the inconsistencies. Sure, release lines early, but why is the main lines out sometimes 2 weeks before the event sometimes 4 days. Annoying as fuk.

[NunyaBidness]

And the trend over the last few months to release the lines either during or right before the previous card, what is the possible reason for that?

[getlucky2win]

[QUOTE=NunyaBidness;what is the possible reason for that?[/QUOTE]

Nick knows it bothers u. It's his only way to get back at us for bustin up his shitty lines, while his service loses its ass.

I don't know, maybe to have more data on line movement? But the motherfuker just released undercard lines, this is getting annoying

[Keyboard Warrior]

ksw 29 lines instead of invicta? how dumb

[Keyboard Warrior]

you have to fade pudz, he eats bacon for cardio training for christs sake

[Vaughany]

Truck Gordon will end up -200 to -250 range surely. SerraLongo guys are tearing it up

Really? Besides the camp he trains at I don't find him all that impressive. Feel like Samman a live dog if he doesn't get knocked out in the first round.

[getlucky2win]

v likes to arb. dnt thnk he meant that he liked gordon. just that he thnks line will go higher. which it mite with him being tuf winner. idk. but im not impressed with gordon and have done well fading tuf winnerz. still hav2 watch tape and cap ths fight tho

[alpinepetey]

TUF winners are 24-7-1 in their first fight after winning the competition. The UFC seems to set the TUF winners up with winnable fights to try to build them up. Something to keep in mind.

I feel like the exact opposite is true. Samman has a round of explosive finishing ability and will then fade under Gordon's pace.

[PaperTrail07]

Hard work!!

[PaperTrail07]

Not sure if Abel can survive this one...

Abel Trujilo vs Tony Ferguson can't wait! Somebody's going to sleep!

[JIBBBY]

I'm on just about every favorite on the under card after just looking it over at a glance..

Agreed that Tony Ferguson probably gets the KO.. Tony doesn't have a granite chin though so that's a tough bet to call...

B Schaub and Ruthless Robbie I'm contemplating playing as dogs on the main..

Interesting. I thought Eddie looked like complete doo against worldbeaters Mike King (which he probably should've lost - I thought King took the first two rounds and 3rd wasn't necessary) and Cathal Pendred and was lucky to get through. Than he knocked out an undersized Dhiego Lima. Thought Samman looked much more impressive on his stint on the show even though I can't stand him personally until he ran into the buzzsaw of Kelvin. Only thing that makes me a little nervous is how long Samman has been out.

[Keyboard Warrior]

what is the point of capping fights? shouldnt we all bet the opposite of sac and move on with our lives?

Samman has been out with knee injuries and his gf's death I believe.
You hve to question his mental state at this point.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be betting Gordon. Just saying I think the dynamics of the fight are opposite to how you suggested them.

[Keyboard Warrior]

Evans-smith is a big fav for being her octagon debut. She has the wrestling advantage but these women do not usually have a good octagon debut. Short notice for AES too. Line seems off.

[Keyboard Warrior]

Pennington trains at altitude and AES coming in on short notice I could see her fading especially in the third. Think this fight is a split decision. Pretty much a toss up if Pennington is aggressive enough to take rnds 1 or 2.

[Bumdeal]

Evans-smith has fought a man, so there's that to consider.

Wheee if this was Bloody Elbow I'd be banned.
