Mitrione and Kimbo...

[Pride>UFC]

The TUF finales are the best chances to make some serious money.

I remember when the Philipino guy (two tufs ago) who fainted was a 5 to 1 favorite against Efrain and got lay n prayed for 3 rounds...easy money for those who took the wrestler.

Last TUF, Damarques was a 4 to 1 favorite because he talked a lot of crap and the other guy was British, easy money on James Wilks at +240...and then easy money on the British guy who looks like a bulldog and said "Me shoulda" in his British voice...he beat the black British guy and he was +180...

now on to tonite...Marcus is getting a lot of hype because he's a big black guy who got in Mitrione's face, but a 5 to 1 favorite is ridiculous...also, it's not like Houston Alexander's anything but a can with power...I'll take a small play on Kimbo even though it seems like an amateur move...

Softest line from TUF 9 was Nick Osipszak opening at -170 over Frank LEster. Line stayed there for quite some time if i remember correctly.

Marcus is such I large favorite b/c he has shown the ablility to close the distance, get takedowns, then effectively use his bjj and top control. While Mitrione has shown no cardio, no technique, no ground game, and no heart. If MArcus gets the takedown, the fight is most likely over.

However, I do not think it is too bad of a play since Marcus has been ko'd twice in his short career. He seems to have a weak chin and lack any standup. Mitrione, while having no technique, certainily can knock someone out.

At +260 on Bodog currently, Kimbo is the better play imo. I think Houston wins the fight more often then not though. He has more diverse standup. Uses kicks and knees effectively. But he can be Ko'd for sure.

Looking forward to tonight.

I was all over that Osipszak fight. Lester is a can...Osip has talent. Enjoyed that fight.

I won a few bucks on Kimbo and fat Nelson...I wish I would've gone with my instinct and took Mitrione
