Should be an awesome headliner.

[The HOFF]

Mackens Semerzier (5-0 MMA, 0-0 WEC) has replaced injured fellow UFC newcomer Erik Koch (12-1 MMA, 2-0 WEC) and meets Wagnney Fabiano (12-1 MMA, 2-0 WEC) on the preliminary card of next month's WEC 43 event.

I just read an article the president of the WEC said they were going to do a show a month from now until next summer. Not sure how they are going to pull that off, they need more fighters.

What do we know about Ben Henderson?

Admittedly...I know very little. He has a very impressive record but I haven't seen him fight.

I have to do some research before I wager for or against Cerrone. Right now, I'm leaning towards Cerrone.

[Bread]

Looking at Jansen and Thomas....and maybe a BIG play on Jabouin.

Stay tuned.

[The HOFF]

I think betting straight dogs on this card would end up +$$$.

Stay tuned.

Are you serious? I really like Rafael Assuncao.....kid is really talented.

[Bread]

I'm dead serious. Do you have some extra money in your acct you could front the bets for me southmadejd? I'm busted.

I'll pay you back with flattering posts.

[Robyn]

I am on Henderson.

Hoff that looks like a police dog!!!! K-9 Unit!!!

For some reason, Bread has made me feel that I am having a really bad streak picking winners. Well, I have been using the handy dandy SBR spreadsheet to keep track of my record. I would say that a 65% win percentage isn't too shabby.

I would never doubt your skills.

[Eccocide]

I got 3 plays. Crunkilton, Jorgenson/Njokauni parlay and a sprinkle on Henderson. GL boys and gals!

Looks like you and I will either be very happy tonight or very sad. Goog luck!

And Hoffy, thanks buddy. Please teach Bread the art of making women happy.

[The HOFF]

Almost go time!! This should be a sweet fight.

[Eccocide]

Well hit the parlay and the doggy in Henderson. Crunkilton was poop! Still finished up 1.5 units - I'll take it.

What a fight though. Awesome main event.

[illmatick]

yeah Crunkilton prevented me from going 4-0, you could tell the long layoff hurt his conditioning, what really lost him the fight was throwing so many body kicks, he was sprawling out of jansens takedown and landing some clean shot but everytime he threw that kick Jansen would catch it and take him down, oh well still a great night

[Bread]

Why did everyone win money on this one but me?!?!?

Congrats pallies!!

[RobbReport]

fcK! forgot all about this!

[RobbReport]

had a feeling Henderson would win

[vassman86]

Wow, big underdog upset. I don't pay much attention to any MMA organization other than UFC at the moment though.

[Boddhissatva]

Wow...thanks guys for convincing me to opt out on betting on Cerrone.

I still believe he won the fight...but damn...I was going to bet heavy on him.

[Bread]

Would've made a great fight much less enjoyable for you
