show is on friday night before TUF finale. Depending what odds we get Im liking
villasenor to KO santos.
Thompsonn
Heun -
Hallman to put marks in an electric chair. If we get odds for this im pounding hallman. 31 of hallman's 40 wins are by submission. 16 of marks 18 loses are by submission. However, 6 of those 16 submission loses came by strikes/punches which definitely is not hallmans style.

have to see what the odds say when they come out.

[illmatick]

anyone put odds out today?

[The HOFF]

Strikeforce seems to be like the WEC in the fact that odds come out the day before or so.

[brooks85]

I knew I was forgetting something. BELLATOR FINALE same night.
Tournament Bouts:
155 lbs - Eddie Alvarez (17-2) vs. Toby Imada (22-12)

185 lbs - Hector Lombard (20-2-1) vs. Jared Hess (8-0-1)
Non-Tournament Bouts:

155 lbs - Jorge Masvidal (17-4) vs. Eric Reynolds (10-2)
145 lbs - Sami Aziz (4-0-1) vs. Fabio Mello (5-6)
170 lbs - Josh Martin (6-2-1) vs. Sergio Morais (3-0)
120 lbs - Valerie Coolbaugh (1-1) vs. Rosie Sexton (9-1)
140 lbs - Jennifer Kloptsoff (pro debut) vs. Stephanie Guimaraes (0-1)
155 lbs - Troy Gerhart (5-0) vs. Luis Palomino(10-5)




I can't wait for this org to be live on espn2 next year.

With all the action this weekend should be a solid parlay in the mix. Im liking alvarez. The heel hook on Aoki's part was great after the scramble, same way imada got his but unless the line is too much im taking eddie.

Also like Hector and of course my guy who was on the recieveing end of the invert triangle, masvidal.

[Riot]

Before you go betting against Gurgel, should know that he has spent 20 weeks in Brazil focusing on his ju jitsu. He got caught up in the yearn to knock someone out, spent alot of time working on his boxing and kicks. Apparently from what some of my friends , hes more dangerous on the ground now.
Plus Huen is a ground and pound fighter, he might force Gurgel to fight on the ground. Gurgel has the skill to lose a decision if they stay standing, he wont get knocked out. I see the fight ending up on the ground, then we will see how much better Gurgels BJJ is. Iv spent some time at the Gurgel academy, so i will not be betting on him, its just bad juju, but i DEF would not bet against him. This fight could really go either way.

[brooks85]

I was expecting heun to be more of an underdog so I doubt i will be betting it now.

As long as kuafman doesnt fall on her back she will win. Ive havent seen all her fights but i think it wont be too hard for her to keep it standing.

[brooks85]

beerbohm/ludwig should make it on tv, sounds like a good one.

[Bread]

OK...NO SPOILERS!! ************************* please.

We can use this as an in-game. YAY!

[brooks85]

hallman is up next but I think he is fighting someone from his own camp now(victory athletics). Justin Davis, just got called up on a 1-day notice... It could be another justin davis tho. Im hoping espn makes the smart move and puts BFC on tv next year. They got some great fights and talent.

[Bread]

I'm gonna be RICH in a little bit.

Actually, I'll never ever ever recoup my Wanderlei losses

[brooks85]

we gotta him hard ufc 100. Im betting an unnesscarily large amount on two man parlay. And im pounding the line for coleman unless i can find some proof of bonnar doing some new training.

[Bread]

Yea that Bonnar spread is weirding me out. I don't get it.

[brooks85]

colemans words
‘My plan is I’m moving to Las Vegas this weekend and I have offers to train with Frank Mir’s group. I have offers to train with Wanderlei Silva’s group. I have offer to train with Randy Couture’s group. I definitely plan on taking advantage of that, and I plan to be here from this upcoming weekend through the fight. I’ll be Las Vegas, and I’ll be training constantly here with one or more of those groups.’

i feel very confident because he has upped his training and for the FIRST time in his career he is actually training to build up his cardio. Bonnar definitely had some ringrust that last fight, but the fact he is not as strong(steroids) and he is slower (knee surgery) makes me like coleman even more.

[brooks85]

this lombard/hess fight should be on tv, you got 1 guy who is a judo olympiad and hess who is an all-american wrestler.

[brooks85]

feed is anyone needs it

[Bread]

We're going at it in the Bread household here.

I have Devela, Robyn has Rockhold.

I think she just liked his name.

[brooks85]

im leaning rockhold

[Robyn]

im leaning rockhold

Me too, that was EASY money!

[brooks85]

**** you hindsight. I just leaned rockhold for his camp and the guy steamrolls.


good pick robyn, i wish i would have bet it, thats a great +135 dog.

[Bread]

Nothing like being 0-1 10 seconds into the event. What a bum!

[illmatick]

wtf was that,guy just ran in with his chin up, fkn cowboy Karate style

[Bread]

As soon as I saw that nickname I knew my goose was cooked.

Cowboy Karate. Jeezus fukkn Christ.

[brooks85]

that is pretty silly. ****ing cowboy karate

[brooks85]

what is shayna smoking, she has 11 subs in 11 wins, she hasnt got any ko skills. Kaufmann rocks her and goes in for some gnp or possible RNC

[Robyn]

These women terrify me.
