Yeah pretty crazy in London and other big cities at moment. I'm based near Silverstone (Formula 1 track) which is quite rural so no trouble where I'm at. It was bound to happen eventually, so many scumbags in our country combined with our Government over past decade having created such an overly politically correct idealism that these fu**kers know they can get away with anything. All started because some wannabe gangster got shot in the face in broad-daylight by a cop in Tottenham and so they all rioted there and since then everybody is just copying so that they can just loot and feel anarchic...it's a joke!

ha I'm sure you're not the only one! I like BJ in this one especially at plus odds, but again it's always risky with BJ because he is such an enigma. But if the BJ that faced Fitch turns up against Condit then I think he'll either choke Condit it out or scrape a decision. Many will say that Condit will be able to pressure BJ and set a pace that is too much and have better cardio but I don't necessarily think that is a big issue for BJ. Sanchez and Sherk are also known to push a fast pace and have great cardio (and alot more so than Condit in turns of relentlessness) but they were dominated by Penn, espeically Sanchez, that performance from BJ was poetry in motion. Condit's defence is not great, it showed against Macdonald, Ellenberger and Kampmann where he was tagged and dropped. Although I doubt Condit will be TKO'd or Ko'd I think BJ can catch him with strikes and drop him leading to a submission. For people taking Condit you're either thinking that he is an ultimate KO artist now after his last couple of fights and think he can finish Penn or you think he can outstrike and out-cardio Penn on-route to a decision. I think the latter is more likely than the former but still don't see either happening. Penn's chin is one of the best in the business, and Condit is going to be very confident in his KO power after those last two fights, maybe even too confident to the point where he doesnt set things up properly and takes too many risks that BJ can exploit either with counters or with a takedown, or doesnt throw combinations but instead looks for the one-punch or one-flying knee finish. With regards to out-pointing Penn, Condit isn't exactly a Frankie Edgar fleet of foot fighter, as said above, he's more likely to take risks and look for the finish than play for a decision even though he is a Jackson fighter, it's just not in his nature to be defensive. SO the other way he might dominate on route to a decision is by out-grappling BJ. I just dont see this happening, I highly doubt he looks for a takedown (he has even said that he has no intention of going to the ground with BJ) and as already said he is going to be overly confident in his striking after 3 impressive finishes in a row.Comment -
thanks for your thoughts, much appreciatedComment -
What worries me is that Penn doesn't seem to be the same fighter as he was a few years backComment -
I think Penn has been without serious motivation since his last GSP fight. Even his second Edgar fight. He thought he won the first, so he didn't change much for the second.
Although I still consider Penn dangerous. He was not super motivated for his fight with Fitch (as he was totally gassed after 3 rounds) but he still took it to a draw. I like Condit a lot, but BJ should take him down without danger of getting subbed.Comment -
Adding:
10 units on Volkmann at +104 to win 10.4 units.
Think Volkmann will end up favourite and Castillo will be +110 or better underdog so will arb out if this happens.Comment -

i`m a bit of a volkmann guy...i think he`s usually undervalued...but i`m worried here that castillo`s pressure will make it hard for volkmann to win a decision...volkmann tends to do a lot of posing in stand-up....Comment -

I snagged Sadollah/Ludwig doesn't go the distance at +185 and within 20 min it was down to +115 on 5 dimes.
Really really like this play... Amir will sub Ludwig... was lucky to put it in a couple parlays too - fading Bruce Leroy and Reinhardt.Comment -
maybe i`m overreacting to the thiago fight......he got hit cleanly in the 3rd a few times by mckeee,but mckee seemed to be in desperation mode.....
`m a volkmann fan....dana certainly didn`t do him any favors in his early ufc career at 170.....thiago and kampmann right out of the box.....Comment -
Wow, is it me or has Ed Herman become serially underrated?Comment -
Bastards! I loved inside at 185, but tried letting it go to get a better line on sadollah inside! Live n learn.Comment -
vaughny, what is the best fav parley u got?Comment -
Yeah got it at -2150, just throwing it in to parlays as a slight booster.
Probably Figueroa, MIller and not Hardy by submission. Could easily add Hettes and Sadollah to that as well to make it Evens or better but Im always weary of doing more than 3 way parlays.Comment -
Adding:
Parlay: 3.097 units on Hettes (-390), Sadollah/Ludwig to Not go the Distance (+115), Not Hardy by Submission (-2000), Schaub Inside the Distance (+133), & Andre Ward by Decision (-185) to win 28.434 units.Comment -
was reading(admittedly on wiki) about hettes` grappling/sub creds.....and apparently did some boxing....he`s a lefty(based on the fight i watched).......this guy might be interesting to keep an eye on...maybe he`s the guy we thought grispi was...Comment
