UFC 118 Rumors/Discussion

brooks85 · 05-05-10, 05:36 PM

also looks like
Marquardt/palhares and sakara/rivera are being moved to this card

Sakara had to pull out of 116 against Marquardt because of his fathers death.

clarkd32 · 05-05-10, 05:54 PM

i'd take florian over maynard at -105. maynard was lucky to beat nate diaz imo.

The rematch and possible number one contender match looks good. I wonder if the hometown advantage will be Edgar's favor for his first title defense. What goes on outside of Toney vs Couture will most likely be bigger than what happens inside the cage, but should draw UFC a few extra buys for this card.

In another tentatively signed fight Terry Etim (14-3) will take on Joe Lauzon (18-5) in UFC 118 as well.

isn't edgar from Jersey?

stefan084 · 05-05-10, 09:50 PM

i think BJ's popularity and the fact that some felt he should have got the decision the first time might actually help him-who knows what the judges will be thinking though

Ken Flo and BJ look good for this card. I would def take Ken Flo though.

brooks85 · 05-13-10, 01:02 AM

marcus davis vs nate diaz rumored

rossta4i · 05-14-10, 06:17 PM

Frankie vs. BJ is set. BJ just signed the papers today.

Dad · 05-14-10, 06:19 PM

I have never gone all in on anything before. I might just do it on Randy Couture though.

westerner · 05-14-10, 06:34 PM

Randy is only -500? Holy crap, thats insane. He could fall on top of Tony tripping over his own feet and probably take him down and submit him.

It's free money.

But is -500 really worth falling on? IMO it's not worth the money considering Randy can very easily get chin-checked.

vassman86 · 05-15-10, 04:55 AM

There should be odds on whether Palhares will destroy someone's ankle again

playa420 · 05-15-10, 02:42 PM

Im really liking maynard as a dog, hes go some good boxing and really good wrestling.He should be able to grind out a decision.Ill probably put $20 on Toney for the **** of it. Randys old as **** and has looked like shit lately.I could see him gettin caught with a shot and getting KO'd

Varker · 05-20-10, 01:12 AM

Toney ftw

OMG, toney won't last long. Penn will show up this time. He is one of those troubled fighters who thinks he is too good when he has the belt. He has to be humble from here on out.

clarkd32 · 05-20-10, 09:13 PM

anyone see odds on diaz/davis yet?

THE_LOCKSMITH · 05-21-10, 01:56 AM

interesting video, Couture/Toney was supposed to bet at 205, later they agreed on a catchweight of 220, but seems like Toney dosn't want to be locked in at the catchweight either

ufcmma36 · 05-21-10, 10:50 AM

Gray Maynard could most def upset kenflo... watch out!!!!!

i was thinking this too. might put a little on him

dooman14 · 05-21-10, 05:03 PM

stacks up to be a great card lets hope no injuries in training penn lucky to get a rematch so quick

brooks85 · 06-01-10, 11:45 PM

i was worried nate was going to get suspended because of the strikeforce brawl. But, apparently they can't suspend him, he will just have to pay the fine. Thats good because nate going to beat marcus down.

brooks85 · 06-07-10, 06:32 PM

add

Mike Pierce vs Amilcar Alves (nova uniao)
John Salter vs phil baroni

This should be a good stand up fight. I like Nate winning this also.

brooks85 · 06-29-10, 11:45 PM

line for nate is dropping

I wasn't too happy with the opener, but I could see his number being a lot more favorable come fight night.

opened -235 and is -200 now

illmatick · 06-29-10, 11:58 PM

I'm still hurting from the money I lost on him against Chael, I would lay the -200 on diaz over Nate

PorkyPig · 06-30-10, 05:56 AM

Palhares looks like a great dog play

Handjuice · 06-30-10, 07:41 PM

I will be putting 100 bucks on Toney to win, I haven't seen couture do a double leg takedown in years (if ever) and if he does his usual routine of grabbing his opponent and pushing them against the cage he will get ktfo by one of Toney's sneaky right hands.

Atomicdog · 06-30-10, 10:53 PM

Lesnar vs. Carwin

I think this is going to be one of the epic UFC fights of all time. The catch for me is it could really go either way. If Carwin catches him he'll put him down and we've all seen what happens shortly thereafter. KO I want carwin to win.

beanbag · 07-02-10, 07:21 AM

not as good as ufc 116

Kaladarus · 07-02-10, 09:23 AM

This should be a great card.

brooks85 · 07-24-10, 08:40 AM

Jorge Rivera is out and Gerald Harris is on

Unfortunate for me, i was expecting a good line to bet on for jorge, harris will be -250 again.
