nice call, paper...Overeem outclassed him and fought a smart fight.

Pass on Brown/Hendricks but rooting for Brown.

Reem looked good using good fight IQ. Jackson's camp got him fighting smart to keep that chin safe.
Those were some nasty gut kicks. One of those and I'd be done,,, for a week.

canadabetting · 03-14-15, 10:17 PM

is carla and joanna going the distance? any help on that one please

PaperTrail07 · 03-14-15, 10:17 PM

agree about time

first time in a while Reem's fought smart with a good game plan (=in a way protective of his dwindling chin...so that he can actually take advantage of his brilliant skills) in ages...has actually taken some legit barrages well with a good hi guard...

won with the leg kicks (and a classic "binocular fists" guard)...

I got women's co-main event on a parlay o4.5, I think it's a better bet than picking a side. I think it goes to the judges.

PaperTrail07 · 03-14-15, 10:19 PM

finally lol he tried to get dumb at the end---clearly a step above skills wise...huge reach ect..

Yes, Overeem fought without emotion and used his strength and size to keep Big Country at bay. He got rocked for a moment and didn't panic and recovered. That strategy probably won't work against the top 5 guys in the UFC, nonetheless it was a solid win for the Reem.

I'm on Brown this fight, but Johnny is looking ready. I just hope it's a good one.

fitguy67 · 03-14-15, 10:26 PM

Brown-Hendricks should have been scheduled as a 5-rounder (prob. a FN/Fox main)...

hope it doesn't turn out like Cowboy/Bendo a few cards ago...where being a 3-rounder screwed things up "just when it was getting good"...and we end up with an anti-climactic "indecisive decision"

Killer_Demo · 03-14-15, 10:37 PM

Did anybody see Hendricks smile and eyepoke Matt Brown in the middle of round 2?

oldscho0led · 03-14-15, 10:45 PM

beatdown by Hendricks

PaperTrail07 · 03-14-15, 10:46 PM

Rolling Along BOys

blazes_bff · 03-14-15, 10:47 PM

Didn't catch that eye poke.
But johnny did a great job using his superior wrestling. Is Esparza gonna do the same thing ?

oldscho0led · 03-14-15, 10:47 PM

Carla still at a juicy -140. I dunno bout this girl but I want some action. What do you guys think?

JIBBBY · 03-14-15, 10:49 PM

^^^Wrestlers getting it done tonight...

PaperTrail07 · 03-14-15, 10:49 PM

Fav Cityyyyy

blazes_bff · 03-14-15, 10:51 PM

Haven't seen much of these girls fight. But Joanna seems pretty creepy. Maybe it's the language barrier, but she gives me the nightmares.

fitguy67 · 03-14-15, 11:01 PM

i'm long on JJ here...to save or worsen my night...

she's the first (damn near only) female striker who i'd call a real "banger"...not a point-fighter like holm or a "set up the throw" striker like Ronda...but a striker who's standup game actual does damage to the opponent (and not just "scores points" with the judges)

JJ could (in fact i actually expect her to) hurt Esparza with strikes at a different level of power AND accuracy than she's ever faced before...

________________

key for JJ, tho' is if she has really improved her TDD after her last fight with Gadelha...

if not Esparza will TD/lnp/gnp her way to a UD

Polska!

spurginobili · 03-14-15, 11:15 PM

Wow, feel bad for Carla. She was just telegraphing her takedowns...had nothing on the feet.

Props to Joanna, she's a beast

Unwritten Law · 03-14-15, 11:16 PM

C'mon RDA! Let's get that belt!

PaperTrail07 · 03-14-15, 11:16 PM

square as fukk...but toss enough to save your night on Pettis, ITD
with anyone but Pettis i'd say the -205 isn't worth it (i got some a few days ago at -127...but just added a bit from my JJ-hit)

hard to go against the prevailing take (that Pettis is truly on his own level) on this one...
so eat a bit of chalk dust and pray to keep lightning from striking two brothers the same evening

THE_LOCKSMITH · 03-14-15, 11:40 PM

WoW, RDA is bringing it
