      You really like Head in that fight? Im still undecided but i think Ring might come out on fire becuase of all the criticism from the Fukuda fight.

        Only if he's at least better than Evens. Ring isn't really the type to come out guns blazing, he is quite composed and technical. Head wll have more power tho and could put Ring in bad spots if he presses the action aggressively. Ring isn't bad but he was obviously dominated by Fukuda, and got lucky to go through without a 3rd round against McGee.

          I agree... i honestly just havent see Head fight. That Fukuda decision was the most suprising thing ive ever seen.

                    His gym isn't too far from where I live right now. I considered checking it out but I was told that Nam Phan routinely goes over the top on armatures and newcomers.

                      It's not an "off" or "bad" line. It's +1000 'cos in 17 fights, Cerrone has 0 wins by KO/TKO...

                      Buuuuuuuuut, given this matchup against a sub specialist, I like the play at +1000. I concur completely with V's assessment of this fight unfolding stylistically... Course Cerrone is a hothead and might stray from the gameplan, but anticipate him to work his MT base here for the win via dec, with chance of KO/TKO.

                        Yeah, in the Dos Santos thread some guy jumped on me quickly about Cerrone never having scored a KO/TKO win

                        But I certainly don't discount Cowboy getting one here - he was damn close against Kelly
                        the prop was 30:1 that night

                        Cerrone uses his striking to setup his subs, for the most part
                        but he certainly has the ability to score damage on the feet

                        With Rocha, we are talking about a guy who's only dangerous on the ground
                        And a guy who was beaten up soundly on the feet by Bret Bergmark

                        Cerrrone by KO/TKO is possible, IMO
                        obviously a decision is more likely, but stoppage is not out of the question

                          Cerrone by TKO is now only +315 at 5Dimes. Makes +1000 look kinda far off.

                                Don't be a bitch and you won't get treated like one. You go into a gym looking to learn BJJ/MMA you better be respectful of coaches and trainers time and don't half-ass.

                                  I've trained at a few different Judo gyms and I'm always very respectful of my instructors and training partners. There are situations where people are deserving of being taught a lesson but those situations are few and far between. Anyway that's not what my buddy was talking about when he told me to avoid that gym. He said that Nam will have you "learn through pain and instincts" and that there has been quite a few incidents where he has injured people. This is second hand information but I believed him because he trained there for a while and seems like an honest person.

                                  Anyway, I had a look at Nam's gym one night after eating at a restaurant nearby and the facilities there were fairly poor. For around $30 more a month you can train at Team Oyama where the facilities and coaches are awesome, especially their head BJJ coach Giva "The arm collector" Santana. They also have a good pro team, undefeated Strikeforce prospect Shane Del Rosario trains there.

                                    Nam doesn't seem like tht kind of dude, but I guess humbleness and humility out side of the ring can be different to inside the ring.

                                      im disgusted. i see mma daily, but for some reason i get a little disgusted by nam. Is it because the other guy doesnt seem to be capable of defending himself? or that nam phan gives him two or three unnecessary shots?

                                        I didn't catch the whole season of TUF that he was on but wasn't he unpopular in the house for one reason or another?

                                        Yep, we don't know the whole story but there is really no need for that kind of brutality in the gym, especially considering that kid obviously has had little to no training.

                                                      anyone know why cerrones line dropped ..

                                                      It was -383 .. now it's -340 at Pinnacle ..

                                                      seems suspicious .. perhaps they have inside knowledge of which fight will be rigged .. lol

                                                        Are u for real!? Its hardly a dramatic difference - if Pinnacle had inside knowledge of a fight being rigged the difference would be a hell of a lot different or they jus wouldn't offer the fight! Pinnacle generally always adjust their lines to offer the best line for the favourite or underdog (reduced juice). In this case they are offering the favourite (Cerrone) at better value than other sites, but if you look at Vagner Rocha's current odds (+298) they are hardly any different to bookmaker (+290) and 5dimes/sportbet (+314). It's simply a case of people betting on Vagner because they see value in the +300 to +332 that it was at and because Pinnacle are offering best juice on Cerrone.

                                                            Lines move for no reason sometimes. Especially not main events/co main events. Like everyone has said it's not really a significant move in the line. All it took was a couple of people hitting the line for decent amounts based on just about anything. They could like the guy or thought he looked good in the weigh in. I wouldn't be concerned.

                                                              Also have a couple of no-risk arbs that I won't include on my record. Need Florian to win by decision to make 3.9 units (0.1 units profit if any other outcome); Elkins to win to make 3 units (overall stake back if Omigawa wins).

Am fairly new to mma betting and realize carwin usually ends in first but thinking Jr gives him a run for his money. Any advice would much appreciated! Price has fluctuated from -115 to -130.

                                                                    I actually think it's a good bet, I've been considering the Over 1.5 at +185 on Pinnacle but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Dos Santos has said that he wants to exploit Carwin's cardio and finish him in the second or third round. Add the fact that Carwin will probably have the Lesnar fight in the back of his mind and therefore be conscious about going too hard in the first round and gassing out again and I'd say there's a pretty good chance that the first round wont be as eventful as most would expect. Could see Carwin pressuring Dos Santos against the cage and jostling for position a lot in first round.
