I believe you. A lot of people come off differently when a camera is on.

Everyone watch joe rogan podcast #182. Good discussion of UFC 143, mixed martial arts in general, and boxing. Rogan knows his shit.

That dude is too busy w/ pu$$y to be worried about Aaron Simpson.

**Vaughany** · 02-10-12, 04:17 AM

Cant blame him with tht bit of stuff.

**Jordan23** · 02-10-12, 05:55 AM

ha no way near mate! What I make is just a nice supplement really and helps cancels out the ridiculous tax that I have to pay out of my job wage..also got a lot of student loan debts to pay off at some point!

Also quite enjoy my job, apart from the location which isnt great it pretty easy going. Spend about 2 hours a day doing actual work, rest I can do what I want!

**Beelzebubzy** · 02-10-12, 09:42 AM

Tommy Speer was a 2-1 favorite over Anthony Johnson

-random fact of the day.

**bjpenn85** · 02-10-12, 09:59 AM

Shouldn't the ronny markes vs simpson be evens? I favour markes as he steamrolled Vemola, although it may be a bit risky to use him as reference without knowing how good hes defensive wrestling actually is.

**BIGDAY** · 02-10-12, 10:07 AM

Anyone thinking about going to the SBR Bash this summer in Vegas? Weekend of the 18th of August.

Been to a couple now and SBR puts on a pretty good party. Couple nights comped at the Golden Nugget and each evening all the booze and grub you can stuff on SBR. They aso do a free $5000 poker tourny and usualy Bodog/CalvinAyre sponsers a comped VIP club night.

Full set of details to come next week. Oh and Sorry V, highjacked your thread

, just didn't want to clutter with a new thread.

In August u say... I've been trying to sort out a trip to Vegas and LA wit some buddies, were originally gonna go next month but then they wanted to go to Cancun, so now looking at Vegas later in the year. Would be cool to go when this is happening I guess!

Yeap agree. Hardly got anything in my BM account and still having issues depositing so just put a couple units on Markes so far. If it comes out on Pinnacle, Sportbet or a Euro book soon and is at similar odds then I'll probably go bigger. Also would consider hedging with Simpson by decision or fight goes distance as I dont see Simpson finishing him.

Just after I wrote this I notice that line has been released on Sportbet so maxed it at +155.

I also expect that Markes will get plenty of action after weigh-ins so may have opportunity to arb out. One of those where I wouldnt be surprised if Markes ends up slight favourite by fight time. Lot of hype from the Vemola domination and the Nova Uniao camp is flying at moment.

**Vaughany** · 02-10-12, 10:31 AM

UFC on Fuel TV 1 play:

15.868 units on Markes at +155 to win 24.595 units;

2.76 units on Markes at +142 to win 3.919 units.

Will be adding fight goes distance or Simpson by decision depending on odds as a hedge, either straight-up or in parlays. Depends on what props are offered.

grabbed the +142 at Bookmaker as well
line is coming down. I will gladly arb out of this but I dont think Simpson has a chin and his cardio is rather poor as well.

**Educ8d Degener8** · 02-10-12, 11:37 AM

I put a wee bit @ +130 at 5dimes.

GL fawkers.

I think Markes can finish him but I wouldn't go as far as saying A-Train has no chin or his cardio is poor.

He has showed against both Lawlor and Tavares that he can take a punch, especially in the Lawlor fight where he got blitzed in first round and was getting stunned by right hooks and uppercuts repeatedly. Also got dropped momentarily by Tavares but recovered. Only time his cardio has looked below average was against Leben, and I think this has left a bit of a skewed outlook on his cardio in general. Simpson was not in a good condition during 2010, especially going in to the Munoz fight where he hardly trained due to a serious staph infection. He was on a drip every day for a month which cost him $200 a day, aside from being ill he was also very poor as a result of the staph...he took the fight against Munoz in November 2010 because he had no choice...he was broke! Simpson has been the distance in 5 out of his last 6 bouts and won 4 of those with only decision loss being against Munoz when he was in worst condition of his career. I think his cardio is actually one of his better attributes, even if he does clearly tire later on in fights, it's still better than most other fighters.

**Beelzebubzy** · 02-10-12, 11:48 AM

I had no idea about the Staph or being broke! I am rather surprised about being broke, doesn't he coach as well?

He does, but couldn't when he was ill. He also spent $15,000 on fertility treatment to get his wife pregnant!

Switching from Costa Rica to Vegas sucks. And they cut out the airfare reimbursement. Costa Rica for free >>>>>>>>> Vegas for $$.

I just remember from interviews he's done that I've read in the past. Probably on mmajunkie or something

Who cares how he knows! If he had to sleep with Mrs Simpson to get the scoop so he can make his 83% BBAWP picks, I am fine with it.

V, please feel free to continue sharing your picks, locks, megalocks, uber locks, and Blades Predictions
