Vaughany's MMA Picks...

MD · 03-20-13, 09:17 PM

-225 is about right. No way GSP opened above -250 I think. He looked like shit in his last fight (arguably his last two), and Hendricks looked phenomenal in his last fight. I see value in GSP at those odds, but it's not a bet I'll be fully comfortable with.

**Sacrelicious** · 03-20-13, 09:22 PM

GSP -225

Pound it, my friends.

**v1y** · 03-21-13, 07:28 AM

GSP -225? Odessa isn't an oddsmaker, he must just pick these numbers out of his ass.

Fukuda... Thank you for the many messages of support yesterday. Positive reaction for drugs, we have to take one type of cough syrup 1 type 2 type and American-made cold medicine, cough syrup made in Japan 2-3 weeks before the game. I would think that failure to report for drug drank what was commercially available, it is gone and he was out.

Matt Riddle: Dana White Is A Bald Juice Monkey Who Knows Sh*t About Business

I think it's fair to say that any chance Matt Riddle had of returning to the worlds biggest MMA promotion are now officially gone.

The 27 year old welterweight was recently released from the UFC after failing his second drug test in the space of seven months, both offences due to his marijuana habit. The failed tests both came after wins (over Chris Clements and Che Mills respectively), which were then changed to no-contests. Without those failed tests, Riddle would be enjoying a four fight win streak.

Once he was released, Riddle wasted no time laying in to his former employers, but has apparently now targeted Dana White for a tongue lashing, telling Stephanie Joplin Sports the following...

“I really don’t have a reaction to it because, to be honest, Dana White…it’s sad but he’s uneducated to the sport and the industry. He’s calling me a moron for using my medicine when half his fighters are on steroids. It’s pretty offensive, but at the same time, I am looking at the source, and he can’t help himself. Even now, I don’t have a dislike for Dana White or the UFC. But really, he’s just a juice monkey who’s bald, who doesn’t know shit about business. He just yells the F word and expects things to be handed to him.”

Pennsylvania native Riddle (7-3-2NC) has recently signed a new contract with Legacy FC, after spending his entire career to date in the UFC. His first fight outside of the worlds biggest promotion is expected to take place on May 31st, though nothing has been confirmed.

Love matt riddle.

**Vaughany** · 03-21-13, 03:05 PM

Michael talkin a big game again!

“I never underestimate an opponent, but I truly believe I’m the better fighter. I think I’ve got the better skill set in all areas. I think I’m just a tougher person. If we were plopped off the street with no martial arts training, I would bury this guy each and every time. I truly believe I’m going to win this fight. I’m still going to train accordingly and do everything in my power to make sure I win the fight, but I’m a different league and I need to prove that.”

lol "Safe sex children...that's what I'm all about"!!! Bisping with some good lines towards towards the end of this...

Good question. Maybe because Martinez is training with jeff mayweather on his boxing? I think Martinez backers may be overlooking Travis has had a good 5 month break and should be relatively fresh for this one.

Travis's chin is shot, and Martinez has got two hands on the end of his arms that he can ball up into fists. Nevermind the fact that he seems to never ever land a punch.

**bjpenn85** · 03-21-13, 06:58 PM

It bugs me that i bought wiuff for 1.43. Cant remember last time i fakked up a line that bad. Jansen at +105 starting to look tempting

Don't feel bad, I went huge on Jansen at -145 today.

**goodfellas433** · 03-21-13, 07:53 PM

Do they ever have Bellator props? I would have loved to put something on held by sub so I don't feel like I got taken so bad on the line movement!

**bjpenn85** · 03-21-13, 08:10 PM

sucks. he should win. More times than not he should win. Hopefully lightening doesnt strike.

I did not expect the money to come in like that.

**bjpenn85** · 03-21-13, 08:38 PM

starting to get a little bit shaky seeing the the martinez line falling now. Feel like i possible have undervalued martinez a bit. If this fight stays standing im fakked.

**Bradbatross** · 03-21-13, 09:00 PM

Lol well according to the Bellator app, 95% of the fans think that Wiuff is going to win.

Have you seen Martinez' stand up?

He's more likely to outwrestle Wiuff than outsrike him.

**bjpenn85** · 03-21-13, 09:35 PM

maybe youre right but that chin man. not the biggest bet in the world anyway

**Bradbatross** · 03-21-13, 09:43 PM

I really don't think that Martinez is going to be able to KO Wiuff.

**goodfellas433** · 03-21-13, 09:53 PM

remind me never to start smoking.

Well, what you have to keep in mind is that Martinez was training with Jeff Mayweather. As we've seen with Mo, that's more likely to make someone a worse striker than a better striker.

Well, he probably learned more from Mo's mistakes than from Mayweather.

He was definitely much improved, he was outstruck by pretty much every tomato can he ever fought. Backed straight up and cowered.

You can't predict that, though. It's like someone going to the Blackzillians and starting a winning streak.

Just Trujillo. He's on a winning streak of 1. He's the only fighter ever to go to Blackzillians and proceed to win more fights than he's lost, to my knowledge.

Michael Johnson was on a nice little streak before Jury recently derailed him.....in the minor leagues...Eddie Alvarez is 2-0 since joining Blackzilians...Anthony Johnson has handled all the cupcakes thrown his way... unsurprisingly.... Cosmo Alexandre is 5-0 in Bellator since his debut loss...Tyrone Spong is undefeated, lol, 1-0... But in the UFC, it sure does seem like those mf'rs underperform after joining Jaco... Hah-shad, Guillard, Mitrione,etc....As a result, I've parlayed every bet since the Superbowl with Phil De Fries.

Oops yeah you're right, I should have specified for UFC fighters. Pretty sure Trujillo is the only one.
