if M1 didnt suck cock and fedor was fighting Id make the trip for sure. Nashville is awesome, i go there at least once a year to see my bro.

Can't wait til the lines come out on this, hoping for a soft openers on Hendo, Mousasi, and Mayhem, as well Melendez as a marginal dog. If this all comes true big bets here I come.

JuicedUp · 04-05-10, 11:02 PM

can't wait to see Aoki in this one.

RobbReport · 04-05-10, 11:49 PM

should be good.

bogbat · 04-06-10, 12:12 AM

We are truly blessed with the amount of quality MMA available to watch these days, especially with the addition of the upcoming season of Bellator.

Wow. Out of the main card, Henderson I say is 100% guaranteed to win. The other 2 fights I wont even consider touching. Card is looking sick.

knownone · 04-06-10, 02:56 AM

I really hope Aoki wears his pants, should be an easy win for him if he wear them.

Honestly i'm really impressed with this card, Should be a good one.

Aoki won't be wearing his pants, he pretty much won't be wearing his pants in any major US city athletic state commissions.

Vrakas · 04-06-10, 06:59 AM

this card should be entertaining,looking forward to the fights

but he can possibly wear the "Sotiropoulos" attire..... big knee pads and raped ankles..... different but but gives the same advantages

This is what I presume will be the case. Seen this suggested on a few boards.

side note: Can't imagine what the books are gonna list the Mayhem fight at???! Might not even be bettable...

Yeah. The dude he is fighting is some local scrub who is 9-7. Miller would be in the -1000 range. And the fight still isn't official as the Tennessee Athletic Commission hasn't approved the fight yet.

Vaughany · 04-06-10, 03:46 PM

Hendo and Melendez worth betting on. The WEC 48 event is a lot more exciting tho

playa420 · 04-06-10, 05:53 PM

This card is ****ing stacked!!Hopefully I can get King Mo as a decent sized dog. Im also gonna make plays on Hendo and maybe melendez.

Completely forgot about the USA's retarded rules... You can wear sleeves but not grappling pants..

Guess we can throw out the 11-1 stat in pants...

The HOFF · 04-10-10, 04:17 PM

What do you think the Henderson line will open at? I get the feeling he will open around -300.

Vaughany · 04-10-10, 04:21 PM

Yee -300 at least, maybe -360. Hopefully Melendez wont be more thn -150

The HOFF · 04-10-10, 07:38 PM

You think Melendez will be favored? I think he might be a slight dog to open.

illmatick · 04-10-10, 07:54 PM

-300 seems about right on hendo, would be shocked if Gilbert doesn't open as the fav

Well he is the champion but I will be hoping the Aoki hype will push Melendez more to evens or even +150!

Vrakas · 04-11-10, 01:37 PM

silva beat henderson the first time because henderson took him lightly and while dominating he made a stupid mistake.what was dana white thinking when he let henderson go.if dana had kept his promise to henderson then silva would not be the champion today,but for some reason dana decided that henderson was a boring fighter so he took silvas advice and did not allow them to meet again.silva is just a 2 round fighter because he wears himself out running away from his opponents like a chicken pak pakpakpak pak even when they are fighting with only one eye.i will never pay to watch a stupid silva fight again.if anyone was robbed it was maia because he came to fight but instead had to run around the cage looking for an overgrown chicken. rounds 3 4 5 should have been point deduction rounds for chicken.

Vaughany · 04-11-10, 02:24 PM

What do y'all think the odds will be for the main fights? Im predicting:
Hendo -270 Shields +185
Melendez -150 Aoki -170
Mousasi -220 Lawal +185

I think it will be -200 or less.When he fought Bisping he was -215, and Shields is alot better than Bisping and the champ.

If this fight opens anywhere near -200 or lower it will be my biggest bet of the year. Books won't make that same mistake again. Being the champ means nothing. He is undersized and if you thought Bisping's standup looked bad against Hendo, wait till you see Jakes. Jake isn't going to be able to get this fight to the ground unless Hendo feels like wrestling all of a sudden.

bogbat · 04-12-10, 01:34 AM

Which underdog on the main card do you guys think has the biggest chance of an upset? I'm thinking King Mo might be worth a shot considering his power and he is easily the best wrestler Mousasi has faced.

THE_LOCKSMITH · 04-12-10, 05:06 AM

less than a week out, they should have he odds up for the 3 main fights by now

When this fight was first announced I thought it would be an easy win for hendo fursure.The more i think about it theres a couple things about hendo that worry me.Hes almost 40 years old, and he hasnt fought in 9 months.Also his cardio hasnt been that great lately, and if Hendo doesnt get an early KO, Shields might be able to grind a win out.

King MO defiantly and maybe Melindez

brooks85 · 04-12-10, 02:50 PM

mousasi going to win anyway he wants against king mo.

IF king mo has a chin, mousasi will win by sub

doubleleg · 04-12-10, 03:36 PM

I like Melendez, I think Aoki is overrated from fighting weak guys in japan.

This! And Aoki has never fought in the octagon and across sea as well!

illmatick · 04-12-10, 04:25 PM

I don't understand where you guys got the impression that mousasi's stand up is better than King Mos, granted it looked descent against Sobral but Sobral's strike defense have proven to be shit numerous times, Mousasi lacks any type of head movement(see first round against Soko) his punches are sloppy and easy to see coming, King Mo's has by far fought the inferior opponents but its pretty obvious to me his footwork and hand speed is enough to give him the edge in the standup

How is Mousasi going to take an elite wrestler like MO down??

If i remember correctly, he couldn't take soko down in the first round and was even taken down himself

Im with u on this one...lets bet the house on King Mo! I think King Mo will be 2 explosive for Mousasi to handle...I wont be surprised to see him get KO'd in the first round.
