**Eccocide** · 12-02-09, 11:22 PM

U think Big Country is gunna be +200???? I will be in dreamland if that is the case. I don't see how he isn't a decent sized fav.

if big country is +200 or more I will hammer the shit out of it

Schaub has some nice hands, golden glove boxing champ.

**GoldRush7** · 12-03-09, 12:30 AM

yeah he has some impressive striking... sure showed tonight, wow what a KO

I said big country would win this thing a few weeks ago as did a few others here but I was impressed by Schaub's last 2 fights, might just play who ever opens up as the dog

Very much expecting Big Country to win.

**illmatick** · 12-03-09, 06:04 AM

this is how I think the lines will be set

Frankie Edgar -240
Marcus Jones -145
James McSweeney -160
Justin Wren -140
brian stan -150
Roy Nelson -145

I expect there to be value in Rodney Wallace, justin wren, and Darrill Schoonover

Roy Nelson vs. Brendan Schaub

Jon Jones vs. Matt Hamill
Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Veach
Houston Alexander vs. Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson
Marcus Jones vs. Matt Mitrione
James McSweeney vs. Darrill Schoonover
Jon Madsen vs. Justin Wren
Dennis Hallman vs. John Howard
Brian Stann vs. Rodney Wallace
Mark Bocek vs. Joe Brammer

looks like marcus is back.

I was expecting a -190 on Wren due to Madsen dominant wrestling against Wagner and Schaub. I would have hammered this knowing Wren is just as accomplished as a wrestler. But the big line really suprised me. Seems too big to me as there are some unknowns here: How will Wren's cardio hold up?, does he have a solid chin?, how sharp is MAdsen's learning curve when it comes to the stand up? He has only been training for a couple years, so maybe he has come a long way in the past 5-6 months since show finished taping.

looks like the line still got pounded, wren at -500 at a few spots, line has swung too far the other way imo, Madsen +350 is the play now

Finally watched the finale tonight. Glad that loudmouth Brit took a beating.

Schaub has looked mighty impressive. Unfortunately, it is probably the season of the Blob.
