I looked at the Rockhold line when it opened, but passed. Nothing for me.

horrible card

Eccocide · 02-24-10, 01:14 PM

I'm prolly gunna put a small play on the psycho, hoping he can land a flurry on prangley.

babyanni · 02-24-10, 02:32 PM

Main Card
Sarah Kaufman vs. Takayo Hashi (Womens 135 Championship)
Trevor Prangley vs. Karl Amoussou
Luke Rockhold vs. Paul Bradley
James Terry vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Raul Castillo vs. Yancy Medeiros

Under Card
Chris Stewart vs. Samuel Bracamnonte
Tristan Arenal vs. George Miller
Jesse Tobar vs. Phil Baldacci
Renee Robinson vs. Lilia Salas
Javier Gonzales vs. Tim Hess
Ronald Carillo vs. Anthony De Los Santos

I think Bradley is the only play.. If luke cant sub him in the 1st it very well be over... Bradley is a cardio machine!!!!

JuicedUp · 02-25-10, 02:30 PM

This card must be bad when the only one I want to watch is the chick fight.

36mafia · 02-25-10, 02:38 PM

amoussou might be fun to watch. hes only had 3 fights go past the first round

Educ8d Degener8 · 02-26-10, 11:31 AM

I'll likely just watch this one or make a tiny play.

Neither Amoussou or Prangley's recent opponents are of decent pedigree (more so Amoussou), so its tough to gage that matchup imo.

Was tempted to make a small wager on Saffiedine since he's fighting someone from Cung Le's camp, and being that Saffiedine is from Team Quest... well that's it -- Team Quest (real smash 'em mma) or Cung Le (flashy kickboxing).

Small play on Kaufman will probably be all I go with if I bet.

Wanted to take Tarek as well but he is always WAY TOO passive , I believe he is a pretty skilled guy but the way he fights it's hard to put money on him . He has good striking background and can wrestle plus he knows submissions but he doesn't pull the trigger in stand up .

That's why I was leaning toward him. Training at Team Quest, I would imagine his goal in this fight, specifically against a Cung Le team member, will be to get it to the ground asap.

(Admittedly, I'm making the assumption this James Terry is a striker since he is in Cung's camp; I've never caught his fights. Haven't done my homework yet)

Straight Cash · 02-26-10, 04:23 PM

This is bad even for a Challengers card...

playa420 · 02-26-10, 05:34 PM

This is a solid card for a challenger series.Theres not alot of names that casual mma fans would know, but theres gonna be some entertaining fights tonight. Im probably gonna put a little bit of money on Luke Rockhold.

36mafia · 02-26-10, 06:17 PM

3 Team: prangley, kaufman, rockhold

I like that Saffiedine bet, couldn't pull the trigger myself though

babyanni · 02-27-10, 01:11 AM

tough to watch

TheIceman · 02-27-10, 01:31 AM

1 guy with ground game but no wrestling totally exposed , 1 guy with wrestling but no brain exposed as well . Japanese chick exposed for having no wrestling and no striking whatsoever .

clarkd32 · 02-27-10, 01:33 AM

that was f'ing brutal to watch....

Educ8d Degener8 · 02-27-10, 03:20 PM

On the plus side -- both my fun money bets came through. Although the big payout parlay was reduced due to the Amoussou v Prangley NC, but Prangley was showing a pretty solid chin, so I'll take my winnings and run

Saffediene totally outclassed Terry. Note to self... If I ever see Team Quest vs Team Cung Le, bet heavier on Team Quest

Regarding the show. Gawd awful to watch. Pretty horrible all around -- the announcers, the refs, and the fights. What was up with all the fighters trying to get timeouts for nutshots; some of which seemed legit and others didn't. And in all cases the refs (all of whom looked like Joes pulled from the audience) just said, "keep fighting".

teaserpleaser · 02-27-10, 04:21 PM

worst card in a while

teaserpleaser · 02-27-10, 04:22 PM

free but still weak

teaserpleaser · 02-27-10, 04:23 PM

anytime coker wants to build up his woman he brings in a japenese sub artist

teaserpleaser · 02-27-10, 04:24 PM

kid from team quest was solid though

nice calls

Amoussou didn't look bad in that first round, I think you you probably would have cashed it

Thanks.

It would've been nice to hit a 14:1 parlay no doubt. I'm not so sure about Amoussou winning though. He definitely looked quicker than Prangley, but Prangley took some solid shots from Karl. The later rounds would've been interesting for sure.

playa420 · 02-27-10, 05:39 PM

There where some decent fights, but the main event was awful.****ing kaufman decided to be hella boring and turn the fight into a half assed sparing session.

clarkd32 · 02-28-10, 12:10 AM

i'll give credit to the team quest fighter... he was pretty fun to watch...

the co-main event had some potential..both fighters were swinging for the fences until an eye poke stopped the fight in the first round.
