crap looks like they cutt it

The HOFF · 03-21-10, 09:24 PM

I'm probably going to get F'd on Kongo by TKO/KO and will lose because it is a submission to strikes. Chasing with Jones.

JON JONES -235 (11.75u to win 5u)

Wasn't John Howard suppose to fight "the Rumble" Johnson? Holy Shit what a fight that would have been, or is gonna be as soon as Anthony Johnsons knee is better.

Yes and yes. I think it is these two as soon as Rumble is healthy.

That was a great card on paper, but all the fights were terrible. Jones had said if Vera wants a stand up war I'll give him one. Obviously this was not the case. Dos santos fight was okay not really what I expected though. The Kongo fight was kind of dumb seeing as both of them are stand up fighters and the ground game kind of sucked. Also the Irvin fight ended with no one getting knocked out. Overall kind of a disappointing card.

JuicedUp · 03-21-10, 10:16 PM

a plus night is never a thumbs down my man!

36mafia · 03-21-10, 10:33 PM

true, but its the first blemish on my record since postings my official plays. head got too big, not as good of a capper as i thought.
back to the drawing board

someone has to tell kongo he will never be a contender for the title. his job, whether he wins or loses, is to go out there and entertain the drunk fans. the fight was tailor made for him to stand and trade with buentello and he didnt do it

A plus night is a good night. If 2-2 +1.44 is your worst night, then you are an excellent capper.

thanks hoff. just looking at the final results from the card and missed some obvious money makers.

spartiatis · 03-22-10, 01:12 AM

Congrats to those who made money - still not an event worth watching though.

Some quick thoughts:

Some very great calls made in difficult circumstances by Rosenthal and Dean. The rules should be made more available to the public, as even Joe Rogan (or myself) didn't know a fighter had a choice to regain their position.

Jones/Vera: Vera has one submission win on his record, which was a flying gullotine choke. All the times he has been on his back, he has never had a near-submission attempt. He may have a brown belt in jiujitsu but I wouldn't know that from watching his fights. All this talk about Jones nearly getting caught in a submission is silly IMO.

Jones really loves those elbows, and his reach allows him to get a ton of force behind them. Vera is not a quitter; he must have been in a lot of pain after those facial fractures occurred.

Brilz/Schafer:From the play by play it sounds like Brilz's wrestling became a factor in the 3rd round. Schafer apparently started to gas early. It looks like he gassed in the Bader fight against well, but this was masked by the fact that Bader was also extremely tired. Schafer will probably get his UFC walking papers shortly.

Marshall/Matyushenko: It looks like to hometown crowd was able to win one judge over, but Matyushenko still brings it at 39 years old. Looks like Marshall got a taste of his own medicine; Matyushenko was very evasive every time Marshall moved forward.

Kongo/Buentello: Buentello's been around for a long time. Something's terribly wrong when Chieck Kongo is dominating you with his grappling.
