    So I just rewatched Diaz vs Miller and Diaz put on a show in that fight.

    Not really sure how that translates against Thomson, but I'm thinking Thomson or pass....
    I know Thomson will fight smart, but does he have enough skill?

    Amazing card. These Fox cards are better then PPV's.

    I'm balls to the wall on DC, he is in several parlays and next to GSP will be my largest bet of the year thus far.

    Also managed to get Diaz before the line dropped a bit, Bendo is in a parlay with Faber.

    thompson
    he for sure has the skill
    watch his fights against melendez, especially the last two
    thompson is a real OG in the game. he's been around forever, has a ton of tricks, and knows how to win.
    at 34, he is not old compared to a lot of guys. 29-34 are the prime years for a lot of fighters. think karelin said he felt the strongest from 31-34
    i would be worried that josh has a lot of miles on his body and has been susceptible to injury and underperformance..
    but i've heard good things about him working with victor conte. Conte said it was incredible the level josh was functioning at when he was habitually dehydrated. "shriveled up like a raisin" was how he described it. Conte say josh made a huge improvement from simply doing one thing - drinking more water.
    plus, conte is known for cutting edge PEDs and tricking testers and commissions. always be happy when he is on your side

    With you here 100%. Anyone betting on Diaz at - odds has never seen a Thomson fight, or doesn't know that Nate Diaz isn't very good.

    One parlay with Diaz for me

    unnecessary
    thompson has a brilliant kicking game, combined with feints and quick movement
    he could stay on the outside and kick diaz all day

    Any good striker who's willing to stick to a game plan can beat Nate, as can any good wrestler who doesn't get sucked into a brawl or intimidated. He can beat a lot of guys if they play his game, which many will, but other than that, he doesn't offer much.

    its a good thing he is not fighting against a strong wrestler, or someone with the footwork to pressure him and make him really work

    I got as much money as I could on Mendez before he hit -500. He's what FindTheLock would refer to as "the lock".

    Apparently the market doesn't, since you posted +100 originally and it went the other way.

    That's true...but the market was wrong on a +190 in boxing Sat night... I think Carmonts reach is a factor but figured I would feel you guys out on the line...

    I don't believe in an efficient market in MMA, I was just being a dick.

    It's always funny when you're thinking about betting a line and then it moves to give you a better line, and at first you think, wheeeeee more money for me, but then you think, wait, what does everyone else know that I don't.
