I disagree, I like couture

I think Randy gets beat.

THere have been rumors swirling around that nogueria has been getting koed alot in practice. If you watch the frank mir fight again closely you'll notice that even when nog got hit lightly it affected alot more than normal. Now with being said randy is not known for heavy hands,but neither was mir. If you play on this I guess you would take nogueria inhopes hes back to his old self and obviously for value purposes. However best bet that night is vera.

Phenom your insane. If your thinking Vera is going to submit Krys the way Vinny did then your nuts. Vinny is regarded as one of the best in the world in BJJ and Vera is an average brown who has not been the same since he went to the west coast and now has limited training with team loyd irvin. Also Kyrs is hot, hes been on a tear since being on TUF and Vera has been slumping. I know he beat mike patt, but Patts best days were in BoDog.

IMO , the play of the night is Maia. Should be some good even matchups which is a gamblers nightmare

I got Nate on my play of the night. But the odds now are getting worse and worse.

Good Luck, I hope you waited to bet Maia.

nevermind phenom, Vera looks like hes getting back on track. you were right, congrats and ... Damn Maia ... Damn you, the worst thing is , i played 3 fights awhile back and i told everybody to jump on em, Nog, Maia and Hamil over Vera (which i still like) i lost one, one was n/a and now bookmaker seems to have no record of my Nog bet ><
