    I thought it was great, as well. I'm excited as hell for this card now. I have a feeling Aldo/Faber ends prematurely, but I think Henderson & Cerrone are going to tear the roof off that place.

I will say that those double legs that roop was able to get looked pretty pathetic on Garcia's part, but roop is huge for that weight and looked to be the stronger fighter that night I might be thinking too hard for this one but I honestly feel Jung is going to get starched in the first round, I expect Garcia to be able to just eat Jung's punches and walk right through them going to wait for the weigh-ins before I do anything stupid.....
    I'm leaning with illmatick on this fight, also factoring in the Asian fighters rarely transition well into North American MMA circuit. I'm not sure if Jung's chin has ever been tested but it certainly will this fight. I don't doubt Jung's odds of winning the longer the fight goes, but I can't get myself to writing Garcia off altogether.

    I agree with most of what you said Ill. That's why its just a regular sized play for me. Garcia has the power advantage and can obviously land a bomb at any point. I just think he is going to have trouble with his timing and Jung's movement and unorthodox style/pace. If it goes past the first I'll feel much better about my bet. Should be a good fight thats for sure. GL to whatever you decide.

    This is my only play for now. Just hoping Roller doesn't lay and pray.

    Fade away guys... I'm on a horrid streak ;p

    0.5u Leonard Garcia
    0.5u Garcia / Jorgensen
    1.0u Cerrone
    1.0u Aldo

    Watched some Zombie fights and imo, his standup is sloppy and he leaves his head open a bit. If he does that, Garcia will take it off. I'm not a huge Garcia fan, but that, combined with the transition to the States and a cage, and I'll go with him.

    For the Cerrone fight, I basically agree with everything stated by Iceman (or maybe Illmatik) in another thread.

    I re-watched Aldo vs Brown, and Faber vs Assuncao. Nothing epic for me to report that hasn't been said. Faber is fast but reckless. Aldo is fast, vicious, and highly technical. I'll go with the 2nd option. Faber does have the hometown advantage, and has a lot of heart, but unless he catches Aldo with something (which I just don't see happening), then I gotta go with Aldo. Maybe Faber will come out with hands up and try to turn this into a wrestling match to mess with Aldo, but even then, Aldo's TDD looked stellar against Brown...

I definitely give credit to benson for lasting the 25 mins but i guess that is where the judges opinion and mine differs, i dont give rounds to fighters because they "survived."

    Round 5 in that fight was easily 10-8 cerrone

    added a 1/8u parlay with a bunch of chalk + Karalexis...

    I've been neglecting the dogs lately...

    real time edit: Pettis mashing Alex's leg with those leg kicks... survives RD1 though. Not looking to good. And he taps in RD2. Just a case of being technically outclassed. S'all good.

    ya i thought zombie won too but it was a great fight and i think new guys vs Vets always seem to get shitty judging treatment.

    another good fight, this card is making up for all the lacklusters ones this year, no wonder dana wanted control of it.
