    Luke Barnatt at - 145 over the washed up 37 year old Mark Munoz seems like the play.. Mark Munoz probably gets KO'd again if I had to guess.. Must win for both fighters anyways IMO... Luke Barnatt isn't anything special though but I find it absolutely impossible to bet on Mark Munoz ever again based on his recent performances.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Luke-Barnatt-56567

    Faber at those odds I think is worth a try as well... Faber should give Frankie Edgar a solid run for his money.. Similar fighting styles and strengths going in anyways which should make it a close match up.. Submission game probably favors Urijah as well.. Other then Faber's losses in recent years to Barao he's been rolling of late.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Urijah-Faber-8847 at 35 years of age I'm thinking Faber still has something left to prove..

    Also love Neil Magny and Gegard Mousasi...

    How long ago was that? Didn't count as a legal win if that did happen? I don't remember that happening but I stopped watching the TUF shows years ago..

    Magny is on a tear with his last straight 6 UFC wins, he beat Tim Means during that stretch which was an impressive feat to accomplish. Be very careful betting against Neil Magny right now Unc...

    Besides that he's fighting an Asian dude in Lim which is always a good sign for betting against at the UFC level..

    -115 for Magny is gift right now IMO with this fight..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Neil-Magny-69166

    All the fights before Magny's are a big no go zone for me.

    No idea who these people are, but yeah Magny and Barnett seem the go.

    Didn't fare as well on the recent UFC card. Initial leans are Edgar, Mousasi, Barnatt, and Sangcha. Also, like Lim but Magny will probably beat him.

    Got lit up in the last 2 UFC events which I can't remember happening in years so I'm staying neutral in my posts now.. Gonna work hard to get my mojo back.. You pick just offering up some ideas and facts...

    Nover +165 against Nam -178

    Looking at Phillipe Nover he has fought in the ufc 5 years ago and lost all 3 fights and got the boot. He's been fighting and training in MMA since 2003... Recently he has won his last 3 fights as to be expected in the lessor organizations like Bellator and ROC which got him the ticket back into the UFC.. Seems like he's winning now anyways which is a good sign at age 31 and he could be ready this second go around to represent in the big show.. Renzo gracie trained guy which is nothing to brag about these days and he is a submission and decision based fighter first..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Phillipe-Nover-7415

    Korean dude Yui Nam http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Yui-Chul-Nam-15987.. Has many pro fights under his belt at age 33 and is a veteran I guess but his experience comes in lessor organizations against lessor fighters.. Won his first UFC fight by a very close split decision against another Asian fighter in Kazuki... Striker first with 9 KO victories in 22 pro fights which is a concern going into this match up when betting on Nover...

    Nover has only been stopped once in 15 pro fights by KO so I suppose he has a decent chin.. Went to decision against guys like Efrain Escudero, Tony Martin, and Robert Emerson... Ground game should favor Nover by a large margin...

    Both size up equally at 5'9"... Youtube has both fighter vids to match up styles if you take the time to watch....

    Conclusion -Live dog maybe in Nover straight you decide?... Wait for props to come out for Nover win by submission maybe?.. Could take Nam by KO also perhaps on the flip side? Fight could also go to decision where either fighter the victor?

    Edgars gonna work Faber. Stronger in every area. Faber needs a Mayner type lucky punch to have success.

    Went 2 units and change to win 1 on frankie and mous parlay. Also placed a unit on Phillipe based on the above write up. Going with Lim over Magny as well. While magny is great and on a tear, he usually enjoys a huge reach advantage which he won't have this time around. Also Lim is extremely aggressive and throws heat which is a good way to deal with Magny's stick and move approach.

    Frankly shocked at Edgar/Faber odds. Pounded Faber by sub at +1500 (one of the craziest lines I've ever seen IMO). Will add more on Faber straight. I think this fight is a PK. I was expecting even odds on both fighters. Faber will not be fazed by Edgar's movements. Faber hits harder... and is a master at taking advantage of mistakes (and get submissions). Will be interesting to see if Faber can out grapple Edgar.

    Still can't get got over Hatsu Hioki getting dropped in the last UFC card. I bet on Hioki as the big favorite while chasing, big mistake as should have known better!!!...

    Learned my lesson as more often then not the Asians get worked over in the UFC straight up.. I believe Zuffa keeps bringing them in to continue to boost up the Asian fan base and for PR.. No pun or prejudice intended as there are some very talented Asian MMA fighters but just not enough to represent at the UFC level lately...

    Good luck Juiced as I'm with ya on the Asian fade with this card big time...

    Both analyst going with eddiva the +300 underdog. That should have you think twice about taking their advice. Look at the record of maskashvili and look on that of eddiva...i mean... *** øn

    I favor Levan but think Eddiva's TDD, size, and leg kicks are gonna give him trouble.

    Re watch Faber's fights with Rivera and Careres.

    Careres stuffed Faber's takedowns against the fence and tagged him in a couple of exchanges.

    Yes Faber subbed him but it was a pretty close fight up until then.

    I don't see any value in Faber's line.

    There's very little chance he subs Frankie, dead money chasing those big numbers

    Eddiva is a good fighter, probably a lot better than most of us expected. Still he hasnt fought a murderers row exaxtly, while makashvili easily beat bezerra. In a straight kickboxing match i favoure eddiva. I think trying to go for legkicks will be eddivas downfall, because levan is looking for taking you down for that shit.

    Cause his chin is shot at age 37 and he'll probably get dropped standing first as his wrestling has basically abandoned him in recent fights.. Dude can't take a punch anymore and he reminds me alot of Josh Koscheck these days in nut shell.....

    When is the last time we've seen Munoz use his wrestling to win a fight? http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Mark-Munoz-22411 Huge reach and height advantage going into this one for the Brit Luke..

    Good luck with that play Unc as Luke kinda sucks too so you never know???

    I just don't trust Mark Munoz's chin as he likes to stand and throw bombs these days.. I don't trust his wrestling anymore either.. His confidence has to be rattled losing his last 3 fights in the first round as well... All ugly losses...
