Fun fact: Brian Fosters testicle ones burst open doing training. Also his brain bleeds sometimes.

Sounds like a winner. at least he's fighting an easy opponent Jake Shields.

That was just a fact, not a fun one.

So we all in on Brian Foster then? Is this what I'm reading???...

Jake isn't anything special these days but he can still probably out wrestle Brian "the bleeder" Foster and we also can't forget that Jake Shields still possesses that world class wicked submission ground game..

Tough call playing Brian Foster because he really hasn't fought anyone great yet and he's picked up most of his wins against alot of bums on the ground in lessor MMA venues..... The ground is Jake's world...

I think I like Jake against the one testicle wonder...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Brian-Foster-17723

How is Foster off of his back Jibby?

Safe to say he's most likely not good enough to handle Jake Shields in the top position let's just put it that way.. I think Jake takes his back at some point and then sub's him out if I had to guess..

[Jim_Gunn]

I'm waiting for the Shields by submission prop. Foster doesn't go to decision often, win or lose and I expect Shields to finish more fights now that he isn't facing elite UFC level competition. Shields by sub cashed for me at +168 against Ryan Ford last time.

I'm thinking Friday morning.

[JIBBBY]

This got next up.... Leaning towards all the favorites myself..

No sub prop for Jake Shields up on the board... Next best thing....

3009 Shields wins inside distance

I caught the opener on Shields ITD at +120 and played it small, $25.00 to win $30.00.

[Jim_Gunn]

Some small plays purely for action:

WSOF 17 Risk $152.50

Jake Shields wins inside the distance (+120) $25.00 for $30.00
Rudy Morales wins by 3 round decision (+515) $20.00 for $103.00
Danny Davis Jr. (-125) vs Adam Cella $50.00 for $40.00

Parlay:
Krasimir Mladenov (-260) + Jake Shields (-430) $57.50 for $40.63

Good grab....

Thinking of gambling and taking Rudy Morales straight at +230 for 50 bucks.. Morales wins by decision prop at +515 is tempting too.. This will be my only dog play for the main card if I do...

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Rudy-Morales-72409

My only prop play is Shields ITD so far so let's get this one Jim!!!

[JIBBBY]

Didn't see your post above.. LOL.. Jim we thinking the same with Morales...

[tebowned]

Johnny Nunez line is at -975. Hopefully they get a sub prop.

[JIBBBY]

Here we go...

Davis Jr winning this fight as expected... Nice grounded kick to the face in round 2.. Probably and even scored round..

[JIBBBY]

Damn, old Randy Couture has himself a young hottie at ring side with him tonight.. She must drive him crazy. She looks like a talker that never zips it..... lol...

Nice win Davis Jr.. Wrasling prevails again...

Anyone watching live????

[Thor4140]

im just itching for the Shields fight. I can't wait. Been watching my sic dog all day going on eight hours. Watching him closely all this time and i feel he should be better in the next hour or so just in time for the Shields fight. I wonder out of the two which will be more exciting. Something tells me by round three i will go back to watching my dog.

[JIBBBY]

Sorry about the dog Thor... Yeah the main event should be a decent watch.... Morales is bleeding like gutted pig.. Geez...

Jibby no Shields fight is a decent watch. Why Dana unloaded him and Okami. They are brutal to watch.

True but for some reason I always liked watching Jake Shields fight.. I appreciate his ground skills..

Theme tonight is the best wrestler wins.. So is the story after two fights in the main card thus far.....

[Thor4140]

his ground game is grinding wrestling with a prayer choke once in awhile. He has won more decisions he didn't deserve than Francis Carmont

I like the Shields ITD as well. Still not sure why Nunya thought the odds for WSOF 17 were never coming out. Poor guy must be getting stir crazy.

[JIBBBY]

Need Mladenov.. Looking good thru 2..

Only for knuckleheads who do not understand the subtle nuances of MMA. Let me guess. You also thought Sweet Pea Whitaker was boring as well.

[JIBBBY]

Big upset right there... Loving it... Choked him out....

[brooks85]

lol "power in foster's gloves"

guy has had 2 ko's in past 5 years.

[JIBBBY]

Beautiful ground work by Jake he took the back and got the choke.. Big ITD win.... A good night with this card to make up for last nights bomb... Cheers gents.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Easy money. Next big submission will be Holohan for the fastest submission @ +340.

[JIBBBY]

Good win Ron!!!.. ITD Shields was the play for that fight.. I think alot of us snatched up the under rounds or prop bet for that fight..

UFC tomorrow night stay tuned!!!!!!!

CEO of the company thought the same thing as me but u are one of those "the technical aspect guys" who just say this nonsense cause u like to sound like u know something Again Dana and the Fertitas got rid of Okami and Shields because they bored 99.99 percent of the fans.
There are more fans at a TBK fight then there was for this
Shields fight.

[Jim_Gunn]

Looks like I did good for small stakes. Did anyone bet Joe Condon as a +550 to over +600 underdog?

WSOF 17 Results

Jake Shields wins inside the distance (+120) $25.00 for $30.00= $30.00
Rudy Morales wins by 3 round decision (+515) $20.00 for $103.00= -$20.00
Danny Davis Jr. (-125) vs Adam Cella $50.00 for $40.00= $40.00

Parlay:
Krasimir Mladenov (-260) + Jake Shields (-430) $57.50 for $40.63= $40.63
-----
Total Profit= $90.63


PS- Ron Paul, I bet Holohan Fastest Sub at +340 for tomorrow too. I think that prop, McGregor Fastest KO (only +120) and Cerrone/Henderson FOTN at +250 all have a real good chance so I bet them all.

Same here except I have Rosa vs Soriano @ +650 for Fight of the Night instead of Cerrone/Bendo.
