    Giblet's MMA Bets

    Well I'm going to start tracking my picks so I can brag about my wins (and get ridiculed for my losses).

    UFC 142:

    0.5 units on Stout (+118) to win 0.59 units

    0.5 units on Mendes (+220) to win 1.1 units

    1 unit on parlay Pyle/Silva (-214) to win 0.467 units

    0.5 units on Arantes (+188) to win 0.94 units


    Maybe the UFC Countdown brainwashed me but I think Mendes' wrestling will be just good enough to steal 3 rounds from Aldo. I think Mendes will take zero risk and Aldo hasn't looked as incredible as of late.

    I think Stout is more proven against top talent and will be as motivated as ever. I couldn't resist taking him as a slight underdog in this fight and may add more him later. I think home field advantage is very overrated so I don't really care about it being in Brazil. Only time I think it matters is travelling a long distance too close to a fight.

    I'm staying away from the Johnson/Belfort fight. Waaay too many question marks. Beflort has unproven cardio, Johnson supposedly may have better cardio fighting at 185 but I don't think that's necessarily true. Belfort has quicker hand speed by far but Johnson has a decent reach advantage. I think right around even is the correct odds for this fight so I may make a play if either reaches +130 (unlikely). I think I'm more stoked for this fight than any other on the card.

    Good luck to everyone!!!

    Disappointed but I would make every bet again except the one on Mendes. No value on the Mendes line whatsoever haha.

    Tough breaks. I saw Stout winning rounds 2 and 3 and the Silva thing...well. Good news is there's another one next week. For what's worth, I would recommend never watcing any UFC promotional videos, ever. They will do nothing but mislead you. Aldo/Mendes was a mismatch but they convinced many people Mende's "mma wrestling" was Aldo's kryptonite, even though Aldo was only taken down once in 35 attempts over his last 4 fights. It was a con job.

    Hoping for some of Shalorus' ugly haymakers and iron chin to take this fight. Or maybe he'll surprise me and actually use his wrestling!!! (Unlikely)

    I like the Werdum bet. Good luck. I think this is the event where you get back on the winning side of things!

    Great night for me. Only risked 2.5 units and made over 5. Quite the bounce back from an absolutely terrible night last time.
