    I like Hendricks here but wanted him in the plus 250 range. I think these odds are about right so hopefully money comes in hard one way or the other.

    Is Fitch eating tofu, or chicken right now?

    Probably tofu. He was really happy with his diet in his last fight so I don't think he'll be changing much.

    I'd be pretty surprised if that happened. Money would come out of the woodwork to drive the Fitch price back down. I think it's more likely that the Fitch line gets worse rather than better.

    Yeah - you're right. When I wrote that -- it was in full swing and I thought it might just continue. It stopped.

    +220 isn't a horrible price on hendricks.

    i got 2.2 units on fitch at -220 and i'm happy about it.

    Dont know why the hendricks love?
    he has been taken down in every UFC fight IIRC (havent seen the Pierce fight)
    I guess it is not bad odds if you are hoping on a KO or thinking he can get a split decision.

    Penn was only able to take Fitch down because of the element of suprise. Idoubt Vegan Fitch makes the same mistake and not training wrestling defense.

    I'm with you on questioning the Hendricks fans. I think the train is about to go off the rails.

    The Pierce fight was VERY, VERY close. It was more of a striking match.

    I just think Fitch does his thing. My only concern is with his Skyrim addiction.

    Damn, I was hoping the Hendricks hype would be bigger.

    I'm utterly amazed by how one of the most successful collegiate wrestlers this country has ever produced translates so little of his takedown defense to MMA yet ends up one of the sport's greatest boxers.

    Diaz is an entirely different animal than the bums that Cerrone has been fighting. I like Cowboy but Diaz has value here.

    ha I wouldnt say Siver and Oliveira are bums! But I certainly wont be playing Cerrone straight up at these odds.

    Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but both are highly one dimensional and very finishable fighters, not good attributes against Cowboy

    I'd be more concerned if he didn't have a skyrim addiction, that game is awesome.

    Jimmy Hettes at +190 may be worth a glance.

    This will be a tough card to cap. I'm a little gunshy after the books won big at 140.

    How do you know the books won big?

    I've been beating the books all year, and this was my biggest night ever.

    That's an assumption based on the amount of people on the forums that seemed to have backed guys like Attonito, Hominck and Hamman. I could be wrong though.

    Rumours of OVereem failing drugs test...always thought this fight wouldnt happen! For me personally I'd prefer Mir vs Lesnar 3 anyway!...

    Damn, the card is rather weak without Lesnars name. Not too many high profile HWs available
    Mir, Cain??, Big Country(if one would consider him high profile), Carwin (if he is not injured), Kongo (same thing as Roy, plus would have to have fight removed)

    Mir makes the only sense. or Maybe Barnett

    Following the NSAC meeting on Twitter:

    Overeem was asked to take a test in mid-November. He took the test a week late. That was a blood test and not an actual steroid test. Blood test did not show any abnormalities. He finally took the correct urine test on Dec 7th. The results for that test are not in yet.
