The Irish hype train is in full effect going into this one!!! McGregor has the mouth and has backed it up in recent fights, even calling the round that he wins the fight in... That's a sure way to promote and propel yourself to star status in the UFC!!!...

He did lose 2 fights and by submission back in the day.. I'd laugh if Siver wins by sub... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Conor-McGregor-29688

Don't let them intimidate you.

Benson Larkin Parke

Larkin/Howard is tough fight to call Beelz, no???.. Are you just gambling or do you have a theory behind this play? I have a hard time thinking of one myself that's why I ask..

Theory? I gave out a bunch of high fives for christmas. I tipped my construction manager. My building is coming along nicely. Lady luck is on my side. I sent Larkin my good jew jew.

Yeah, I farted and it blew a coin out of my back pocket which landed on tails signifying Larkin will out work Doomsday Howard for a decision win myself.... lol...

In on Larkin I guess...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Lorenz-Larkin-51345

If Siver wins it's via takedowns. The same way he took Cub Swanson down & held him down. The Notorious one's takedown defense is untested. Plus McGregor's knee will always be a factor especially because of the movement in his style. Hope McGregor wins via TKO rd 1. But I'm NOT betting the house on this one at these odds.

So you think Siver has a better chance of beating McGregor then Poirier did?

Have beeen fading Larkin for a while. and will continue to do so until his Bellator debut.

small value play on siver..

Not likely Ron but Siver is a current +700 straight play.. Even better play for your scenario is the Siver prop win by decsion at +1600.... I don't see either landing personally but your theory of the lay and pray is sound..

I'm probably going with the under 1 1/2 round bet myself at -150 as I think Conor runs right through Siver.....

full card odds out...

Henderson = free money

McGregor by murder.

[TPowell]

Henderson is scary low. Alvarez didn't exactly light the world on fire against Cowboy and IMO, Benson is still the best LW in the world. Just a terrible matchup against Pettis.

[TPowell]

Pettis is the biggest mirage of an UFC fighter I've ever saw. No way he holds it much longer. Lucky he caught Melendez napping because he had already lost the first and was on his way to another lost round

- Was livebetting Pettis like crazy at the end of rd 1 and in the second. Was just a matter of time before he caught the slow and sloppy Melendez (Who Benson lost to, btw.)

How did 'the best lightweight in the world' just get knocked stiff by Mr. double arsehole?

Also got 2-3 pure gift decisions in his title run.

Benson is the most consistently overrated fighter ever.

No offense but i was laughing my ass off and also confused back when i heard MD and a few others were loading up on Josh Thomson. Bendo is world class. i hope he keeps getting overlooked, more ££££ for me.

You are aware that Josh Thomson arguably beat Benson eventhough he fractured his thumb and couldn't use it to grip with for the majority duration of the fight right? He was essentially outgrappling Benson with one hand.

Here is your next inside scoop fellas...

Need my prayer warriors to pray for my mother's health please. She is not doing well at all

You are aware i watched the whole fight and he got crushed. giving the decision to Thompson would of been incompetence.

I was leaning Tibau anyway and this can't help Parke. Bet Tibau to win a full unit.

Guess you are on the same drugs as Rick James was for most of his career.

he could well be trolling us to improve his line! He gambles a lot

[Beelzebubzy]

I hope. I will hit that +160 again like a good lil poorzie

[Jim_Gunn]

Yeah I recall when he beat that Asian fighter he said he bet on himself to win in round 2. However, he still has to beat Tibau legitimately- no easy feat. Tibau should win round 1 and lose round 3 when he tires. Round 2 will likely decide it, maybe for a split decision.
