    Joey's MMA Picks

    Been reading here for a little while, just wanted to start a thread to track my progress and open up the opportunity for a little discussion.

    UFC 149

    Anton Kuivanen (-165) $165 to win $100
    Ryan Jimmo (-168) $168 to win $100
    Nick Ring (-105) $105 to win $100
    Cheick Kongo (+110) $100 to win $110
    Urijah Faber (+170) $150 to win $235

    Bryan Carraway/Hector Lombard (-115) $230 to win $200

    I'll be looking at props and over/under tomorrow as more become available.

    Good luck man, I'm on the same side most of your picks.

    I would PARLAY Urijah Faber/Hector Lombard, great value @ +220

    Also Parlayed .5u both of them to win by Decision +1700. Amazing value.

    Also, for record keeping purposes, I should not that I went 0-2 on Bellator last night, losing $150 on Baker and $115 on Newton. I feel Newton got robbed, and who saw that submission from Amoussou coming?! Wow!

    Haha, well I think that you will find I'm pretty straight-forward. No bull shit here. I'm posting for my own benefit in record keeping and gathering feedback, and I hope I can help some others as well. Never really understood why people make such outrageous claims about how good they are just so they can go live with their picks and look stupid. Anyhow, thanks for the welcome guys.

    That's easy to assume, considering Greg Jackson is in his corner, but execution of the gameplan is another thing entirely. Just ask Leonard Garcia or Guillard when he trained there. If Kongo fights smart (IF), it's his fight to lose. I could see this being much like Mitrione/Kongo.

    You have to assume that Kongo isn't going to fight smart.

    I don't HAVE to assume anything. Jordan resembles Mitrione, and Kongo fought a smart, albeit boring fight against Mitrione. Kongo knows that losing fights like this get you canned, so I expect him to fight accordingly. He could always get caught though, and he is deteriorating as a fighter, I just feel he is overall the better fighter, even if ever so slightly, and at + money he is a good value.

    I agree Kongos fight IQ is not the best, but honestly what does Jordan being a football player at LSU have to do with anything? I'm not convinced he can or will take down Kongo either. Besides, Jordan fades and is largely unproven. All pointing to value in Kongo, not that he WILL win. Have to play value spots my friend, can't expect to win every pick. GL to you tonight.

    I think Jordan has the best value in this fight, he'll have no problem taking Kongo down. It probably wont go that far though cus all you have to do is tap Kongo's chin and he's out.

    Adding Boestch/Lombard goes the distance at (+240) and Faber/Barao goes the distance at (-130)
