Sick , main card is absolutely STACKED .

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

forgot about this card, though we were gonna have to wait 4 weeks till the UFC on Vs card, but this one will do fine. and StrikeForce challengers does not count

[brooks85]

It looks like a great card, I cant wait to go, i got tickets awhile ago for the fight.

arnold sports festival same place during the day

[JuicedUp]

Does anyone think Benavidez has a chance?

[playa420]

Looks like a great card, and Benavidez has no chance at all. Hopefully I can get Torres as a -300 fav or less.

[RobbReport]

damn when are the odds coming out.

I'll be there as well! Haven't been to an MMA card in a while so it will be nice to get back in the action.

LOL! too bad sir! It's only 4-5 hours from where I'm at, so I figured its worth the trip. I'll show these americans what real MMA fans are like .

[RobbReport]

you are probably right about that buddy. most american fans don't even know what Pride is. have fun, maybe link up with Brooks. you'll have to pound more beer than usual, american beer not as strong.

[The HOFF]

Well good for Eccocide. Here's something to help him get over this week when the USA whoops Canada again for GOLD.

Pffft. YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!!! After we handle Slovakia tonight, we can make a nice points wager on it if you like!!!

[RobbReport]

[The HOFF]

The WEC's first trip to Ohio now has a full 11-bout card as a featherweight matchup between UFC veterans Leonard Garcia (13-5 MMA, 3-2 WEC) and George Roop (10-6 MMA, 0-1 WEC) is finally official.

The preliminary card bout, which was first reported by MMAjunkie.com, was announced by WEC officials late Saturday night.

[illmatick]

Darabedyan
Javier Vazquez
Scott Jorgensen
L.C. Davis

just going off of what I think the lines will open at, these should be the4 best bets, have to disagree with the above posts, Benavidez and Cruz will hold some value

[RobbReport]

Karen looks like a good pick.

[Eccocide]

Well good for Eccocide. Here's something to help him get over this week when the USA whoops Canada again for GOLD.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!

[36mafia]

damn when are the odds coming out.

just double checked 5dimes and bestfightodds and still nothing. the card's this weekend and im already having withdrawals on my mma action

[The HOFF]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut up. I went from extreme joy when they tied it to utter despair in OT. You have to give it Miller though. He only gave up 3 goals to what is basically an all-star team in Canada. And all three were the result of bad defense.

BOOKMAKER

[playa420]

Thats a pretty good price on Torres, theres no way hes gonna lose to Benavidez, and Cruz at +205 might be worth a small play.

[36mafia]

[JuicedUp]

anyone liking the Bowles Torres parlay?

[Educ8d Degener8]

At the moment, giving a strong look at Torres, Darabedyan, and Jorgenson.

Considering Pettis, Paixao, Garcia as well.

[The HOFF]

Javier Vazquez -150 (7.5u to win 5u)

Brian Bowles -255 (18.5u to win 7.255u)

[illmatick]

I have bowles as the last leg on one of parlays, probably end up hedging just a bit if i make it that far
