Should be a solid fight Miri. I think Weidman wins but Luke has a shot. I think Weidman might have a few more tools than Lukey. Sometimes i think Weidman gets a little careless inside cause it seems he doesn't think anyone can knock him out. Luke can catch him who knows. I can't believe there are still people out there who are still questioning Weidman toughness. I guess it makes their bets feel a little better when they do this or are just blind. This Aldo fight reminds me a little of the Rousey fight. Will Conners movement and length be enuf to off set Aldo's kicking game? Aldo has had to put that kicking game on hold for awhile and u know those bombs will be coming out of that cannon hip of his for this fight. As for Brooks i have him on ignore and only read his nonsense when someone copy's his post. This clown has gotten in debates with maybe 60 percent of this board and believes he won every single one. I see he has said he ran your friends out of here lol. Who were your friends and were they this mentally week that a hand job like Brooks run them out? i stopped reading that thread but maybe i will take a peek back. Our boy brooks is a union card holder with far right views and votes republican. That is like being white and insisting to others that you are black. He doesn't realize we can actually see him. I'll go peek at that thread again. I can go for a few laughs

Let me give you the run down:

>Brooks bets on Klitschko
>I drop a hint in the thread that Fury will win
>Brooks cries like a bitch, and says that Klitschko is a better boxer
>I tell him to explain to me how he's better.
>He spends the next 5 posts dodging the question, and is still dodging it.
>He misunderstands a perfectly clear post, and makes him self look like an idiot, saying I had forgotten my friends (He's talking about Nunya, Napes, MD, Beelze etc all the guys that jumped ship, and he somehow thought he had anything to do with leaving ) when I really stated that I had forgotten that he even existed, until he began whining at me like always.
>Keeps trying to get me to contract Nunya and co, even though I have repeatedly told him they don't care about him, and likely has forgotten that he exists.
>It's really quite sad that a person this delusional exists. People should probably just block him, and watch him rage at nothing. I just find it too amusing to smack him around at the present.

One more thing on that matchup. I think if the fight does stay standing Gunnar actually is a much better striker than Maia imo. I know you're ripping on his karate style but at distance Gunnar picks Maia apart.

Gotta disagree with ya on this one.. I've seen fights where Gunnar looked like absolute crap standing... I give DM the edge standing.. Gunnar Nelson weakness is in his stand up clearly..

Besides that he really hasn't fought anyone in the UFC top 7 0r 8 yet IMO... DM is probably top 5.. I think GN gets exposed in this fight.. I've learned not to bet against DM as he's always game in fights.. His age has not slowed him down yet either..

DM can bang now if he so choses... He sits down on his punches unlike in the past.....

And no way Maia stands with Gunnar. If Maia wins it will be him holding on to Gunnar until the Bell!

I'm just here for the lulz, brother.

I don't think anyone is worried about Maia's striking. We'll have to see the fight, but if you talk to MMA fans the consensus is that Gunnar def has a striking advantage.

curious which MMA fans you are talking about. Would love to find another solid forum

**Unwritten Law** · 12-03-15, 06:42 PM

Slight off topic but, I want DHK to rematch with Maia regardless if he beats Gunnar or not. I think DHK would beat him this time around and was unfortunate of the mysterious rib injury.

Just read that the odds for Jose Aldo is down to +120, and I would imagine it going down even more and possibly Aldo closing as a slight favorite near fight time. Officially locked it in and maxed it out with my book (2k). Again, I realistically see Aldo winning and the only exception he loses is if he throws this fight.

Looking at that Mendes footage still pisses me off. I was on the wrong side of the fix due to McGregor's popularity....I hope it doesn't happen again. Just look at him opening up a cut near Conor's eye and was dominating....the transition from being in his guard to go for a guillotine, he could've pounded him out there. Jose should take him down from the opening bell since Conor has stated he would rush to the middle of the ring and try to get in his face right away....could be a hit or miss chancing of eating a flying knee. Just depends if Jose has prepared for that gameplan.

Had a strong lean on Rockhold, but I'm open to change my pick and go with the undefeated Champ. Seems like he's still hungry to prove the doubters wrong and he stayed composed weathering Vitor's flurries. Rockhold may have all these wrestling greats in his camp and based off his interviews he's talking up a big game to psych himself up - almost WWE style. Decent odds to grab the champ and if he loses, so be it. If the fight were today, I would go with Weidman.

**Unwritten Law** · 12-03-15, 08:32 PM

Just checked again. Aldo now +115. Aldo backers, get it while it's still in the plus!

Why would he enter BTP he isn't an SBR pro, he has a bunch of bet points and I never seen him give out any ever.. He can't even use them.. He wouldn't even know who to bet when it comes to American football anyways.

Miri sadly is just a troll these days on SBR.. Atleast he gets his lols on.. Can't knock him for that...

lol that is exactly why he keeps clowning himself just as his old crew did when they tried to belittle this site...

Nobody had to be a PRO this year for a chance to win $30000 in prizes... but hey miri ain't got time for that and this worthless site, he is just here for the lulz; all of which are directed at him. As much time as he spends here he should be embarrassed for this gaff but he can't admit that now. He has dug too deep.

Well, I did tell y'all that Fury was gonna win in the other thread as a +450 dog. What a nasty troll i am, eh?

I cant transfer points to you Jibby?!

And yeah, getting on here a couple of times a week to humiliate you is certainly taking up a lot of my personal time. Instead of playing little poker tournaments on here like an amaturer. Fuk man, your life is seriously sad. Half the forum has blocked you because they are tired of your nonsensical posts. I'm seeing no one getting laughed at here except you.

**JIBBBY** · 12-04-15, 01:37 PM

^^ Calm down Miri and don't get your panties all up in a bunch now...

Let's keep all this garbage off the event threads ok.. Some people reading in wanna try to win money and stay on topic... I'm one of those people...

**slikec** · 12-04-15, 04:51 PM

I cant wait to see this card is getting so close now. I cant believe that 10years undefeated champ can be underdog vs anyone. Is kinda like surreal. Did that ever happened in box or in MMA before ever? I dont bet much MMA but i will have to put at least 1unit on Aldo.

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 12-05-15, 12:57 AM

Aldo dropped from +140 to +110 in the last couple days

Yep like unwritten said that line is only going in one direction.. People are finally realizing Aldo is a legit threat and the fact that McMouth was getting pounded in that first round 1 against Chad and looked beatable didn't help either..

**TPowell** · 12-05-15, 01:00 PM

good luck to those betting against a guy for looking beatable against a top notch offensive wrestler, NOW in a fight against a pure striker basically. Aldo's game is staying on the feet. Sure, he has some decent subs but those are mostly defensive (he isn't going to try to take this fight to the ground).

Jose Aldo has never been outclassed standing or KO'd yet in the cage so it's hard to justify McGreg coming in and knocking out a long lasting UFC champ like Aldo..

You think Aldo is basically a pure striker? Wut. You realize he has some extremely high level BJJ and has taken down and mounted basically all the strikers he has faced right?

I don't want to get off-topic but I'm 36th in BTP right now and I'm not an SBR Pro. As far as I know this has no relation on receiving prizes so please tell me I'm right.

Edit: Nevermind, brooks' post just confirmed my suspicions.

Sorry Jibby, I'm afraid I have to root for myself on this one.

**FlipsideRM** · 12-05-15, 06:11 PM

Jibby what are your bets for main card so I can tail? I want action. I know I'm taking aldo at + money for sure

**FlipsideRM** · 12-05-15, 06:22 PM

**degenerate bum** · 12-05-15, 06:40 PM

Here is a thread with a wider variety of opinions about Gunnar vs Maia. These guys are arguing like we are, haha. Worth a read if you're considering betting.

Thanks for proving my point. All the people he's wanted down, has been down. No sense in taking people down he's smashing on the feet anyway.

**JIBBBY** · 12-07-15, 04:10 PM

Aldo has very good TD's and wrestling so what are some of you guys talking about?

Aldo I believe could easily pull off take downs on Conor Mcfly if he so chooses too.. It actually might not be a bad idea to win rounds on points..

**TPowell** · 12-07-15, 04:41 PM

It was well known before that McGregor's knee was hanging on by a thread. The stuff about him not sparring in wrestling before that fight was no joke. Conor will be the bigger, stronger fighter in this fight as well. I doubt Aldo bullies him to the ground like the above gif. There's a reason Conor is the favorite here

Yep, the UFC marketing machine.

Aldo will finally become a UFC PPV draw if he defeats Conor McGregor I think.. If he wins it in grand fashion much like we just saw with the Holly Holms KO of Rousey then he's instantly a major draw.. Aldo should try for the finish..

Gotta think most people didn't know who Holly Holm was before this Rousey KO.. Same will happen with Aldo as he always flew under the radar even being the UFC champ for so long..

I think the UFC money making machine won't be crippled if Conor McGregor loses.. Rematches are common ground anyways....

^^ Stay on the gas pedal Paper.. I mentioned your 10 win streak on the other event thread as I was just looking over the BTP contest this morning and noticed your name and win streak.. I was like damn, Paper has a little juice in football..

Not everyone can nail down a 10 pick win streak in a contest.. Good work Paper as that's saying something...

Respk..

23rd place pays out $325 cash.. That's respectable too..
