Interesting, you think ITDComment -
You really think he can lay and pray on DB for 3 rounds and get the decision? Pretty hard to control Bermudez on the ground.. Burmudez has got a solid wrestling base and will have the advantage striking for sure.. Remember Bermudez handled Clay Guida's wrestling and won that fight.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Dennis-Bermudez-58065Originally posted by Unwritten Law

Puerto Rican/American Bermudez began wrestling in 2000 and held a high school record of 112 wins and 23 losses.[6] From high school he went on to wrestle at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania where in 2007 he was ranked 22nd in the nation at the Division 1 level. Bermudez then became a college free-style All-American in Akron, Ohio.[7]
Unwritten you should play this prop if you believe in Kawajiri

I personally think the Asian fade is in play with this one.. Kawajiri is old too..
My only play so far with this fight.. Small stuff..

Im on Bermudez, but i think kawajiri can win a decision worst case. So best play would probably be kawajiri by decision? Probably a controversial one, cause he doesnt have striking.Originally posted by Unwritten LawComment -
Cowboy Cerrone fired Jackson and the rest of his coaches after his RDA beating?! This true?Comment -
see how easily Bermudez deflect any takedowns on Guida. If you look closely on Bermudez tdd technique is overwhelmingly superior, he just brushes any takedowns off like " are you serious?". And thats against guida which is absolutely a takedown maniac. So good fakking luck betting on Kawajiri SU. I will call you sloppy for not seeing this. Betting its about breaking down shit and then have an opinion, not going out on sbr saying shit and then fakk fakk fakk, back pedaling when you realise youre wrong....or is this a trick to not break down shit to save energy? If yes, then congratulations.Originally posted by Unwritten LawComment -
Not likely, but I do like the Crusher by decision. Dennis also had to deal with a staph infection not too long ago as well (December). Good luck with your picks.Originally posted by TPowellComment -
Kawajiri and bermudez operate on two different frequencies. The difference in speed will be present for 15 minutes, as i said earlier, good luck!Comment -
I agree with him bj, of the 5 big favorites, thats the only one undeserving of his price tag. Line should be under -200. Garbarant, cerrone, murphy and brunson are all much better bets at virtually the same line.Originally posted by bjpenn85Comment -
Listening to the MMA Analysis and they made some good points, but didn't connect them to what I think is the best play for Garcia/Strickland. Strickland is a long guy with a solid job who has some decent subs and BJJ and could keep Garcia out of his comfort zone with his pitter patter jabs and Garcia can take a punch as well. He made it 3 rounds against Magny with a gruesome leg injury in his only loss. Garcia is supposedly a mini Hector Lombard, but he has nowhere near that much power. He has very good offensive wrestling and can land some solid punches on the inside, but that is about it. I just can't see this fight ending inside the distance unless Garcia gets inside and manages to land some solid shots and I think if he does get inside much, he'll be trying to put the fight on the ground and lay and pray. Currently sitting at -110 for going the distanceComment -

Alex Garcia vs. Sean StricklandTwo of the best up-and-comers at 170 pounds meet in the prelim headliner as Alex Garcia and Sean Strickland look to move into top-25 territory. Both men are rugged and running toward the peaks of their respective games. This is going to be a chess match that has two key factors: chin and cardio. I believe Strickland has an advantage in both those categories, and if he can weather the early storm by Garcia, he will take him the distance in victorious fashion.Carey: Alex Garcia’s match-up with Sean Strickland is getting hardly any due, but it’s a good fight between two interesting up-and-comers at 170 pounds. Both men are bringing solid 3-1 UFC records into the Octagon, and with Garcia entering his prime at 28 and Strickland coming in at just 24, the winner could find himself in a good spot in a deep welterweight division.
Garcia is likely the favorite based on his UFC resume. “The Dominican Nightmare” fought a really close fight with the perennially underrated Neil Magny not long ago, and he followed up the performance with a solid win over Mike Swick in his last outing. Like a lot of guys, Garcia has seen his finishing percentage drop since jumping to the big show, but he’s still a very dangerous guy and could make some waves with another win or two.
What makes this fight so fun is that Strickland is a more than worthy threat to knock off Garcia. “Tarzan” is a big, tall guy with a huge four-inch height and reach advantage over Garcia. Unlike a lot of young fighters, he’s proven to be able to utilize his reach well during his time in the Octagon. There aren’t any Swicks or Magnys on his record, but Strickland has fought and beaten some tough guys in Igor Araújo and Luke Barnatt. He has a really good chance to use his physical advantages and earn a big win this weekend.
Tough fight to call IMO.. Do like the over like you TPOW...Comment -

Also looking at Bermudez -345 and scorecards are no action. The only way he loses this fight is if he gets layed down on for 15 minutes and I think if he gets too loose in going for takedowns, Bermudez could find a sub.Comment -
Was watching UFC tonight even the guys on the panel were saying Bermudez defensive wrestling should keep the fight standing and if it becomes a striking war Bermudez should be much better..Originally posted by TPowell
Bermudez by KO or ITD are the plays me tinks in this one for odds value.. If Kawajiri can't get this fight to the ground early on he's gonna get worked standing and probably finished in the later rounds.. Bermudez does have 4 KO's and 3 sub wins so he can finish this fight if it stays standing or maybe even on the ground if he rocks Kawajiri first..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Dennis-Bermudez-58065

Another hedge would be Oliveira winning in Round 1 at around +1200. I hate to do it, but there is no way that AO wins this fight unless he jumps on him earlyComment -
Chris Camozzi vs Joe Riggs = Fight won't go the distance. Bermudez + Brunson + Cerrone parlay. Will have more in play action on this card than usual.Comment -

Oh no...youre at it again. Do you think 3 tkos in 2009-20010 is relevant to day? Is this a joke?Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
This card is tomorrow night.. Sunday venue..
Wonder why Zuffa didn't set this up for tonight? UFC events usually fall on a Saturday night.. I hope this doesn't jinx some of the fighters.. Cowboy Cerrone seemed a little amused by the Sunday start as he expressed that on UFC tonight show interview..
Cowboy Cerrone really just doesn't care about anything in MMA, he doesn't plan, study fighters, no planning what so ever.. He just gets in the cage and does his thing. That's why he has slow starts, no plan.. Like he said in the UFC tonight interview to DC and Kenny Florian he's just looking to get paid and make that money.. Doesn't mean he'll fight any worse or better then in any other past fights. That's just how Donald Cerrone rolls..Comment -
No BJ, Bermudez winning ITD isn't a joke.. I can see the 2 wrestlers keeping the fight standing, DB defending the take downs and then landing frequently standing and getting the late KO or sub win late in the fight.... Maybe you should fade me on this... Take Kawasaki winning by Decision... Ya never know? I could be wrong..Originally posted by bjpenn85
1307 Kawajiri wins by 3 round decision <input id="editx" name="M1_72" size="4"> +535
The Burmudez straight odds are just too stiff so I'll pass on that and try the ITD bet instead at +odds.. Didn't even parlay Bermudez with the straight or hedge... Kawajiri barely made it out of his last fight, he was completely gassed out in that decision win.. Kawajiri is almost 40 years old now.. I like the younger 29 year old Bermudez finishing in this one..
DB finishes in half his fights, he's finished in his past 2 fight wins, he finished Clay Guida and Hettes recently.. DB is coming off 2 tough losses now and needs the spectacular win and I think he gets it. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Dennis-Bermudez-58065

Kawajiri looked huge next to bermudez. Mendes backed down from garbarandt in stare down, Mendes literally has nothing for him and looks scared, I had to put 2 units on garbarandt by ko after seeing that. Mendes has horrible striking, wrestling, and jitz hasn't translated well to mma, no power, garbarant should finish him in the 1st round, run right over him in seconds. No way should mendes make the scorecards, if he does, garbarandt needs to look for new carreer path.Comment -
Joshknows, any thought on Shane Campbell by UD?Comment -
I like the number on it, but Krause could sub him, I ended up not betting this fight. I believe Campbell and tawajiri both only have one path to victory and it's by dec. If you bet Campbell by dec, hedge it with Krause by sub, but dont go more than 1.5 units total. Me personally, it's a no bet for this one. Usually when I try to force action, it ends up cutting into my profit for the event.Originally posted by jordanft19Comment -

Anyone remember what happened in the Luke Barnatt vs Sean Strickland and Alex Garcia vs Neil Magny fights?
Sherdog judges scored it 30-27, 30-27 and 30-28 for Barnatt defeating Strickland. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC...ean-strickland
Sherdog judges scored it 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 for Garcia defeating Magny. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC...cia-neil-magny
Not remembering if Cathal Pendred achievement awards were handed out on those nights.
Strickland might be overrated and Garcia might be underrated leading into that 1.Comment
