[PaperTrail07]

[PaperTrail07]

Thompson is a very very skilled fighter--gotta root for the guy-god for the sport and to watch

[JIBBBY]

Agree JIBBBY I see the line....but I dont see the fight on the UFC fight card....Am I wrong here?

[Mercersux]

Has anyone been watching this season of the ultimate fighter? Best season in years. Best since the season chiesa won imo. They should go down to 1 ultimate fighter season per year tho if not just take a hiatus if they can. They won't since fox needs to fill airtime but just watersdown the hype for tuf. Nevermind all the international variations...

at first glance the Ellenberger/Thompson fight seems like a aging veteran Ellenberger fighting the up-and-comer Thompson, but Thompson is 2 years older.

Yeah 32 and 30.. Jake hasn't proven to be back to dominating self yet with that KOS win IMO. I could probably look good knocking out Kos...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jake-Ellenberger-13068

Step has faced some stiff fighters and is on a roll now.. Gotta go with Step Thompson the older fighter in this one.. Splash bro's won the NBA title and with that name he can't lose. .http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Stephen-Thompson-59608

[Giants007]

lol Masvidal moved up to welterweight from lightweight for this bout and misses weight

Has an hour to lose the 1.5lbs

[Mercersux]

First glance i like willie gates and usman. I was shocked they didn't throw in Usman for the last fight on the show. They would have won

[the xx]

Masvidal is, imo, the most overrated fighter on the ufc roster. Ferreira's chin is a huge ? but Masvidal likely won't pack the power to expose it. Grappling and size will be the difference if Ferreira is able to win this.

Love Josh Samman at +110, also the under in that fight.

Not sure why the o/u on Miller/Smith is set at 1.5 rds rather than 2.5. I may be wrong, but neither guy strikes me as a real threat to finish early especially on the feet where the first half of this fight will likely take place.

Best of luck to everyone, I hope the winners from last night continue their good luck and those who lost get back on the right track.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

this will likely be better than last nights card

.

that doesn't make much sense considering he should be on an 8 fight win streak if it wasn't for incompetent judging. Plus, he isn't beating nobodies.

Just my opinion.

[CaptChaos145]

Going small tonight:

Ellenberger 25 to win 40
Hassan 25 to win 42
Miller 100 to win 76

[JIBBBY]

The madness continues.. Masvidal, Thomspon and Dan Miller are my initial grabs.. See what sticks today..

[JIBBBY]

this will likely be better than last nights card

I doubt that Locky.. Those were some epic fights down the stretch last night.. Legendary... As a fan you gotta appreciate last nights main card fights win or lose..

Hard to beat that but we will see tonight????

Keep the picks coming jibbb!

[brooks85]

Just my opinion.

yeah, I saw that part. Still scratching my head.

[Killer_Demo]

Fitguy are you betting this card? I need a fade

[JIBBBY]

Fitguy are you betting this card? I need a fade

I might be a good fade.. My confidence is shattered after last night.. Hit first 4 bets and then it was all down hill after that.. Bank roll took a good hit last night..

Miri is loving this....

[JIBBBY]

Keep the picks coming jibbb!

Your wish is my command ya bastard..

which fights you think most likely will go the distance? .. think i'm going to be betting rounds for the majority of this card. Too many coin flips.

i'm thinking sullivan/waters should hit round 2 .. and thinking miller/smith should hit round 2 as well.. agreed? who else?
also thinking maybe montague/gates will hit round 2 ..

Don't ask me Shabang I'm going easy with this event. Mostly just playing the straights in this one myself.. I only like the unders mostly if you are asking though.. Perhaps the chick fight is most likely to go over.. Those 115 pounders are usually durable and hard to finish at this level.. Waterson might finish though....

Maybe Josh or XX can chime in on that.... Those 2 are riding the hot hand right now...



How did you fair last night Shabang? I thought I read you were hitting in your last posts on the other event thread?????

eh, i recovered most of money, but hedging a bit too much on mendes cost me..down a few hundred..could've been a lot worse so I'm not too upset considering.

[Beelzebubzy]

[JAKEPEAVY21]
