lets see.... jardine got ko'd his last fight so.... Id bet big on him in this one

Actually I think you bet Jardine against someone who should kill him (Iceman, Vera). Then you bet against him when he should win (Alexander, T. Silva). He should beat Bader, so bet large on Bader.

my capping has him winning this one and then he loses his next one against a bigger name guy.

[knownone]

Does anyone else think Sotiropoulos will beat Stevenson?

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

I think Stevenson will be able to control Sotiropoulos and win this with his wrestling pretty easily

[knownone]

Sotiropoulos is fighting in his native country; He has all the skills to beat Stevenson solid strikeing amazing BJJ the only question mark on the guy is cardio he's hasn't been past the 2nd round since joining the UFC and he was starting to gas before submitting Dent in his last fight.

Stevenson should be the favorite no question he's the more established fighter, But I see Sotiropoulos closeing around +350 which would make this one hell of a value pick.

[terpkeg]

Stevenson has looked like a new fighter since going to Jackson's camp

[The HOFF]

Agreed on the BJJ. But the striking is mediocre at best. His striking was pretty weak against Dent.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

i'm not someone who always wants a fighter to move down in weight but what the hell is CroCop still doing figting at HW. He has already shown that he has marjor problems fighting the big HW fighters (Gonzaga, Kongo, Overeem, Dos Santos) and the other marjor HW only get bigger (Lesnar, Carwin, Mir). CroCop weighs in 220-225lbs in his fight, why not cut the wight like Couture and Vera did and hit LHW. So many more intersting fights at LHW, they are wasting him with figths vs Ben Rothwell IMO.

^This

Crocop used to be one of my favorite fighters, but I've lost interest in watching his fights. Compared to what other fighters cut, it should be easy for him to make LHW. If he's serious about fighting, he should cut or just stop fighting all together.

[The HOFF]

With Dong Hyun Kim (12-0-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) forced out of the fight with a knee injury, Chris Lytle (27-17-5 MMA, 6-9 UFC) instead meets Brian Foster (13-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 110.

[Bread]

I'm never betting on an Asian again. Ever.

[clarkd32]

a lot of juice on silva and bader... i'm tempted to take jardine and bisbing thinking one of them should win.

[knownone]

Agreed on the BJJ. But the striking is mediocre at best. His striking was pretty weak against Dent.

He definitely seemed tentative striking with dent, I may have overrated his striking a bit it looked good in his fight with Roop.

[spargament]

yea but roop is honestly isnt much of a striker....ufc dropped him right after the sotiropolous fight anyway right?

[knownone]

Yeah, So I guess will see if Sotiropolous striking has improved with all the time he's putting in.
I still like his value.

[squallsquall]

I can't believe Ben "ROFL" Rothwell even gets another chance after his embarassing showing last time...

He is definitely a bottom-tier heavyweight. Interesting match up because you could say the same about Cro Cop's embarrassing performance.

[illmatick]

still like the price on mirko

[squallsquall]

He is definitely a bottom-tier heavyweight. Interesting match up because you could say the same about Cro Cop's embarrassing performance.

True that.

[The HOFF]

A bout between veteran light heavyweights Stephan Bonnar (11-6 MMA, 5-5 UFC) and Krzysztof Soszynski (18-9 MMA, 3-1 UFC) officially has been added to the UFC 110 fight card.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

this card is ok, but with the injuries of late it looks like the next three cards after this one are gonna be great

UFC 111 New Jersey
GSP/Hardy
Mir/Carwin
Fitch/Alves

UFC 112 Abu Dhabi
Silva/Belfort
Penn vs Edgar/Maynard
Hughes/Gracie

UFC 113 Montreal

[The HOFF]

The UFC today officially announced a long-rumored contest between Igor Pokrajac (21-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and James Te Huna (11-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

The fight takes place on the preliminary card of "UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez," which takes place Feb. 21 at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.

[Pabinator]

The card looks pretty good

[illmatick]

next 3 cards should be epic

[The HOFF]

The line on Noguiera and Cain has moved to -110 for both at 5Dimes. Why is Cain getting all the love?

[squallsquall]

On Pinnacle, the move was the other way though.

[illmatick]

I played cain early, probably buy back on nog now

[The HOFF]

The next installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship's traditional pre-event preview show debuts Feb. 18 at 11 p.m. ET/PT with "Countdown to UFC 110."

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

sweet, only 2 weeks between UFC events. Then we have to wait a full month until the UFC on versus and we get a UFC for 4 weeks straight

March 21 UFC on Versus
March 27 UFC 111
March 31 UFC Fight Night 21
April 10 UFC 112

[Kaladarus]

Cant wait for UFC 110, the main event should be awesome.
