    ufc143picksby:

    Josh Koscheck -260 > Mike Pierce (5/5)

    I won't be surprised if he is -400 by fight time. Koscheck will be a step ahead wherever the fight goes. My best guess would be he puts Pierce away with a KO in the 2nd or 3rd. My gut says 2nd. If he decides to make it more of a wrestling match, he'll take the decision- or possibly a 3rd round ground and pound stoppage. Anyway, this is Mike Pierce's shot in the big time. He's gonna do his best, but it's not gonna be enough. It is gonna make him more recognizable and earn him a bigger paycheck, and he's happy to have Twittered his way into a big fight like that. Winning would just be the icing on the cake-- but all the stores/markets/bakeries in Vegas just called, and they are all out of icing! Word.


    RENAN BARAO -255 > Scott Jorgensen (5/5)

    I don't like this line. I was hoping on getting him at -160 or so. Didn't expect him to be above -200. Doesn't matter, I guess. He's gonna prove to be too much for Jorgensen. Renan Barao Inside the Distance would make for a tasty prop bet.


    PARLAY Josh Koscheck -260 and Renan Barao -255

    Also, make these parlays:
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman --
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman, Nelson --
    Koscheck, Barao, Nelson/Werdum o2.5
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman, Nelson/Werdum o2.5
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman, Diaz
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman, Nelson, Diaz
    Koscheck, Barao, Herman, Nelson/Werdum o2.5, Diaz
    Koscheck, Barao, Nelson/Werdum o2.5, Diaz

    Coming off 2 strong weeks with another one ahead! LET'S CASH!!

    When I have 2 real solid plays on one card, I throw them into everything. Yesterday w/ Dunham and Oliveira and last week with Brenneman and Barry.

    (re: locksmith's post) Would you guys prefer I just keep one thread or make a new one every event like I've been doing? I know I'm not the only one who does it this way. Big Day's another guy who has a new thread every event. But I guess if all of you prefer one thread and no "wacky subject titles," then I might do one thread.

    Glad to see you on Nelson and I heavily lean towards Koscheck. I like Barao straight up but see the value on Jorgensen. Same deal with Herman. Good luck to you, hope the hot streak continues.

    I think Pierce has a better chance than a lot of people are giving him. Koscheck should be the favorite no doubt, but I truly believe Pierce is good enough to beat some top dudes.

    He could possibly beat top dudes without a wrestling pedigree, but he can't control Koscheck on the ground.

    I want a UFC fighter to walk to the octagon wearing sunglasses and then give the glasses to a random kid in the crowd, like Brett Hart used to do.

    Sorry gabe, I am taking Pierce here. He has a great chin and his striking is improving. Koscheck's usually combo is getting old and he is constantly just looking to throw his right hand. Moreover, Hughes was able to out jab him for a majority of the first round. Pierce should be able to negate Kos wrestling. However, Pierce (wiki-searching) has lost to any elite wrestler he has faced (Hendricks, Munoz, Fitch).

    I am hoping Pierce hits +300 which I expect as Koscheck carries name recognition with him.

    Koscheck will be able to take him down pretty comfortably IMO. Just depends on whether Koscheck wants to take him down.

    Yah, I do deparate threads. But I usualy start mine over in the drama world in player talk. And then mods will link them over here which is great. I also have quite a few cards with out wagers so I will sometimes go a month or more with nothing to add. To be honest, I used to only post a thread when I was very confident in a wager. Maybe only 4-5 a year.

    I like Kos to bounce back with a convincing win. Got some on him when lines dropped @ bmaker.

    You're basically donating money to your bookie by betting Pierce. I'm currently 31-0 with these plays, I'm counting on the streak to continue.

    My gut is telling me that Scotty will knock Barao out on the feet. Really not sure why though.

    Are Pierce backers banking on a decision? L'n'p or striking?

    Aggressive striking mixed gameplan with wall and stall + fluke KO punch.

    I guarantee you will get a fantastic line on that when props are released! If patches wins I think its by takedown, grind, repeat decision. I might bite on Scott straight up if the line gets back north of +200.
