Not much to like on this card. Very small bets for me. At worst I'm hoping to break even but hoping to cash one of the big underdogs.

Mark Munoz -150 (3u to win 2u)
Alexander Gustafsson +400 (1u to win 4u)
Mustapha Al Turk +245 (1u to win 2.45u)

What makes you so confident in Mark Munoz? I see Kendall Grove as the biggest live dog going into this. Kendall has the reach advantage and better striking so Munoz will probably take him down but Grove has a very active guard and can threaten submission from the bottom. However Munoz probably has a better chin.

Munoz has more power and Grove has a weak chin. Munoz can take Grove down whenever he wants to. Grove is good with submissions but I feel that Munoz's time with the Nog brothers should have him well prepared for any submission.

Penn parlay or small on Edgar here. No value in Penn SU.

But you see value for a parlay with Penn at the same time as You see value on a straight bet on Edgar? That's impossible...

Grove was able to sub a good wrestler in Rosholt in his last fight but in the fight before that vs Almeida he was easily taken down over and over. I think Munoz will be able to copy Almeida's game plan

Edgar has good wrestling and takedown defense also. His speed and boxing skill is really good. BJ likes to keep fights standing, avoiding takedowns. I think this will end up being a stand up war for the most part unless something happens that gives an opportunity for a takedown. Edgar has said himself that he will push the pace standing up with his boxing. He's definitely faster than BJ, but how does his striking compare. It wouldn't be impossible for Edgar to pull off a decision win here. I think this fight will probably go to decision, since both fighters have great chins and submission defense. BJ has more power in his punches, but Edgar can potentially land more. BJ should take this fight, but Edgar is easily the hardest opponent for him at LW.

I cant say this was a big surprise. Good thing I had a small prop bet on Edgar winning decision. Speed was a factor.

ha same here...not good! I need Silva to win by KO to at least save me a little!

I was worried they were going to give Penn the decision like they gave it to Machida. Good to see the true winner prevail.

36mafia · 04-10-10, 02:15 PM

0-5 -9X because i parlayed bj in all those picks
im really ****in sad and disappointed right now.

JuicedUp · 04-10-10, 02:15 PM

I know I thought Penn was going to get the dec. But one scored it 50-45. These judges were not swayed by the legend of Penn. Very refreshing

JuicedUp · 04-10-10, 02:17 PM

will there be another upset???

excel · 04-10-10, 02:18 PM

haha i bet against penn just cause 5 won like 35 and i just found out i won

36mafia · 04-10-10, 02:18 PM

JuicedUp · 04-10-10, 02:34 PM
