UFC 186: Johnson vs. Horiguchi (April 25, 2015)

**JIBBBY** · 04-23-15, 07:04 PM

^^^Sanity Check you're thinking too much..

Rampage won 3 fights in a row and was training to face Maldonaldo from the start.. Honestly I don't think Maldonaldo could beat King Mo and Rampage just did.. If this is a catch weight fight like it has been made to be that favors Rampage as he's the bigger stronger dude at walk around weight.. Rampage at age 36 still has something left in the tank in my opinion.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Quinton-Jackson-348

Like I said all indicators reflect that Rampage Jackson wins this fight and in knock out fashion.... Perfect opponent for Rampage in his ufc debut comeback fight and well thought out by the UFC/Zuffa match makers IMO..

Even at -300 it could be considered a steal.. I've been reading Maldonaldo is basically self trained these days as well.. That's never a good thing as his training partners are most likely very suspect.....

This fight is not in Brazil and against an injury free Rampage Jackson that spells trouble - good luck with that FLABio Maldonaldo!!!! End of comments from Jibby on this fight.. Rampage by Ko...

Since the KO prop isn't up on 5dimes I went with this instead for top value

Pending4/25/15 11:00pm Props Fighting 1205 Jackson wins inside distance +157* vs Not Jackson inside distance

No guarantees but if you're feeling "jiggy wid it" and want to gamble for odds then try this at +350.. I give it a reasonable chance of landing.. Rampage is always after the bonus money so he should come out guns a blazing in this one!!!

Pending4/25/15 11:00pm Props Fighting 1215 Jackson wins in round 1 +350* vs Any other result

Bisping needs to retire already. His retna is gonna fall out of his eye.

Having second thoughts about betting against David Michaud for various reasons.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/David-Michaud-53778 On the fence now with this bout... My bad for posting this earlier and premature as I am bumping my own post now..

I watched the past fights and just think this fight could really go either way.. Proceed with caution gents is all I am saying with this Olivier Aubin-Mercier play!!! It's a coin toss in my opinion.. -350 is absurd and I bit on it early on before thoroughly researching David Michaud... I'm in on OAM as pending above regardless so let's see what sticks??????

**Sanity Check** · 04-24-15, 05:56 PM

Jibby, remember what I said about Rampage eating junk food, hitting the clubs and not taking his training seriously?

Rampage vs Maldonado is now officially a catchweight fight at 215 lbs.

Rampaged weighed 216.
Maldonado weighed in at 215.

UFC 186 weigh-in results: Champ Johnson, challenger Horiguchi make weight

http://mmajunkie.com/2015/04/ufc-186-live-and-official-weigh-in-results

Coincidence?

**Sanity Check** · 04-24-15, 08:23 PM

This could be a tough card to play.

I have it something like this.

Demetrious Johnson ??? Kyoji Horiguchi
Michael Bisping < C.B. Dollaway
Fabio Maldonado < Quinton Jackson
John Makdessi > Shane Campbell
Yves Jabouin > Thomas Almeida

Patrick Côté > Joe Riggs
Alexis Davis > Sarah Kaufman
Chad Laprise < Bryan Barberena
Olivier Aubin-Mercier < David Michaud

Nordine Taleb < Chris Clements
Jessica Rakoczy > Valérie Létourneau
Aisling Daly < Randa Markos

I won't even bother streaming this event. Not worth it, I'll just wait for an event with other fighters I like

Last I read they only sold like 5,000 tickets(1/4 of the seats) and closed 1/2 of the venue.

**JIBBBY** · 04-25-15, 10:34 AM

^^^Yep, not the most power packed event in UFC history exactly!! Lol... Even I'm not that thrilled about this event and you don't see that happening very ofter.. Still got about $2,500 bucks worth of bets rolling across the entire card and pending so I'll be tuning in...

Bisping vs Dollaway and Rampage vs Maldonaldo are probably the best 2 fights on the card for viewing pleasure in my mind... That's not saying much... Couple of prelim fights are decent too..

**JIBBBY** · 04-25-15, 10:40 AM

These are my straight play picks that I feel good about.. I'm favorite heavy on this card for sure.. My $5 card parlay play is pathetic for payout price this go around because of that.

On Point.....its what rampage shows up

I would think Rampage has to be a lock.

But what if Rampage ate nothing but donuts and junk food when his fight with Maldonado was cancelled. He stopped training and hit the clubs.

As a result, Rampage has a terrible weight cut that dehydrates him and leaves him half dead on the scale, and Maldonado beats him on points?

Rampage is so prone towards goofing off and not taking his fighting career seriously. Might be a good idea to wait for weigh ins to see how in shape he looks 24 hrs before the fight.

**PaperTrail07** · 04-25-15, 01:40 PM

rampage was handed that win-jibbbby he lost that fight be real....

Don't bet on Maldonaldo Paper and if you do let's just say I warned ya so..

^^^Patrick Cote and CB Dolloway are solid plays me tinks gents.. Good luck as I'm with ya on those!!!!..

**shabang** · 04-25-15, 02:31 PM

on bisping, rampage, almeida, laprise, aubin-mercier, and markos..

have these picks spread out through several parlays give or take a couple..it's fair to say that if one loses, most of my parlays will lose.
Don't see this as a dog night..hope I'm right

for the main event, tried to stay away from straight up picking mighty mouse, have it going to rounds 2 and 3 for my parlays. ( I think this will go the distance)

**PaperTrail07** · 04-25-15, 03:30 PM

no bet for me in rampage fight

**fitguy67** · 04-25-15, 04:07 PM

fit's live-dog spidey sense is tingling a bit...enough to throw a pittance on a full round-robin of all 28 possible 2-leg parlays (1/28th of said pittance on each)...involving these candidates to surprise the squares

clements +190
michaud +280
barbarena +325
davis +175
riggs +195
jabouin +400
maldonado +185
dolloway +130

if even 2 of these unloved ones hit, my raffle-ticket fee is pretty well refunded...anything beyond that would be increasingly wonderful gravy...

just something definitely-fun/potentially-lucrative to underpin what most expect to be a flat card action-wise
__________
p.s. i also have a "one-sixth to win one" splash on the main event...

reminded of that old essay-writing cliche "national problems demand national solutions..." i can postulate that "shitty mma cards demand betting on shitty fighters"

good luck 2 all

Smart man not to bet against Rampage as I know you are Paper going into this one...

Rampage ain't getting punked by Maldonaldo in the States in his first fight back into the UFC.. He knows a win brings him an even bigger Zuffa pay check in the next fight after this one.. Ramp ain't gonna miss out on that and get beat up standing.. Besides that the only fighters that typically have beaten Rampage in the past are fighters that are better wrestlers and or fighters that are quicker of foot and can kick his legs out.. Maldonaldo is neither..

I think the Rampage by KO prop is golden at +225... I'm giving that one a ride anyways fellas!!!...

**JIBBBY** · 04-25-15, 05:26 PM

OK GAME TIME!!! Let's do this!! First fight no play for me.. Ireland vs Iraq chicks no thanks!! Trying to get worked up for this event and pulling out all the stops.

Am tuned and dialed in...
