I'm interested to see how long Lombard tries to stand with Schmelenko .

he might have a little too much faith built up in his hands after knocking out 3 bums in a row.

lasker · 10-25-10, 02:06 AM

No value in either of them at those odds

sirchadwick1 · 10-25-10, 08:46 AM

I'm w/ the other guys... no value.

I'm actually making a small play on Frausto and staying away from the Lombard fight.

JediMind87 · 10-25-10, 07:31 PM

After reviewing both Lombard& Shlemenko, I've come to the conclusion there is no value in either fighter.Reasons Being: Lombard's power is a tad overrated and while i do feel he can knock AS out i also feel AS can counter HL wild swings.HL has been rocked atleast twice that i've found out.Once early in his career and against Joey Gorczynski who has two tkos to his record.I think HL would be best suited taking the fight to the ground and dishing out some GnP.-550 means HL has an 85% chance of winning imo it should be more like 65-70% Going to start reviewing Fujii/Frausto

Pratik · 10-25-10, 08:48 PM

Yeah stay away from the main event but frausto may have a chance to pull off the upset even though that weight cut keeps making her tired and sloppy.

jacktheknife · 10-26-10, 02:29 PM

Isn't a %35 shot worth the +375 on Schlemenko?

rocky mattioli · 10-26-10, 03:38 PM

parlayed shields and askren with lombard and fuji getting 1 3/4 back for one....

frausto has been winning very ugly....she should have certainly lost her last fight...horrible decision...her face looked like raw hamburger....

lombard`s fight wil be as rough as he wants it to be....he fights dumb,he could get dummied.....it`s up to him...

NittanyLionsFan · 10-26-10, 03:55 PM

Schlemenko is the one who's more likely to get an upset, and by a mile. Fujii should be -1000000000000000000, so yes there really is value there at -500. Does anyone saying Fujii might get upset actually watch MMA? A small bet on Schlemenko isn't a bad idea.

I watch mma and think Fujii could get upset.1:Beacuse Fujii will have a tough time taking Frausto down, Frausto=Bigger&Stronger.2:Fujii runs in with her strikes and especially when going for the takedwon(Kinda like Rosi Sexton) Question is can Frausto defend the takedown long enough to catch Fujii's chin or tire out Fujii from the attempted takedowns. In the end i feel Fujii has a better chance of winning but counting out Frausto is foolish ask Rosi Sexton lol. Its a no bet for me.

Pratik · 10-27-10, 11:54 PM

you know what anything can happen, especially in this sport, so if you think its worth a play then do it.... but be smart about it.

sideloaded · 10-28-10, 01:08 AM

Is the Fujii fight 5 rounds?

bogbat · 10-28-10, 03:31 AM

I'm going to go all in with SBR points on Lombard. I'm confident he is going to win in impressive fashion. He's like Wanderlei 2.0 with world class Judo. However, its too much chalk for me to bet any real cash.

jacktheknife · 10-28-10, 06:41 PM

Threw in with Schlemky for a u. Fujii's not as flummoxed by strikes as we would imagine, and she only needs to be good enough to Shields her way inside.

But goddamn, I'll depressed in so many ways if the winner of the one true Robbery of the Year
takes this tourny, as well as Megu's built up swag.

JediMind87 · 10-28-10, 07:56 PM

Fujii got rocked late in rd.1

lasker · 10-28-10, 08:11 PM

As I expected, Fujii's not having an easy time with Frausto. But I thought it would be because she'd struggle to get takedowns, not because she wouldn't even go for any

Still, with her superior movement and higher percentage of shots landed, I think she's up two rounds to one so far...

JediMind87 · 10-28-10, 08:27 PM

Frausto by UD. GJ Lasker. Another example of Asian fighters needing to cut weight to keep up with the competition.Frausto was too big and strong for Fujii, kinda reminded me of Aoki-Melendez.

lasker · 10-28-10, 08:28 PM

Frausto takes it by split decision, not UD. Another poor decision in my opinion. At least for once the bad decision worked in my favor, as I had bet on Frausto, but I definitely thought Fujii won three rounds to two.

Aoki-Melendez is a good analogy. I'm not sure why Fujiii didn't really commit to takedown attempts until the final two rounds. She won round 5 by getting Frausto down, but I'm really surprised she was content to just trade punches for almost the entire fight.

jacktheknife · 10-28-10, 08:29 PM

And Frausto becomes robbery champion of the universe. Watch Sasha get knocked out in the first.

lasker · 10-28-10, 08:34 PM

Yeah, I don't think we'll see another big upset. Lombard should be too much for the Russian.

NittanyLionsFan · 10-28-10, 08:41 PM

What an LOL decision

teaserpleaser · 10-28-10, 08:57 PM

Florida boxing judges thats a fukked way for fujii to get her first loss

rocky mattioli · 10-28-10, 09:04 PM

i had a par pending with lombard and fuji...and because of some of the comments in here i hedged with frausto at 5 dimes at 4-1....won $5.......thanks,gents....

i must say that some of the comments i read on the sherdog rbr ticker(comparing fuji`s strategy to such past great mma tacticians such as sean sherk and jorge gurgel)were d.o.b.a.....(dead on balls accurate)...

and the moneyshot after the fight?...fuji stating "i wanted to beat her at her own game"...if this was a $100,000 payday(as was the men`s championship when askren won it),i hope the translation was faulty....because that would make fuji an idiot savant(sans the savant part)....

the irony is that Jorge Gurgel was in Frausto's corner... or was he? Maybe if he really wanted his girlfriend to win, he snuck in to Fujii's corner and started yelling his most sincere instructions

bogbat · 10-29-10, 04:52 AM

Was anyone else disappointed with Hector Lombard's performance tonight? He basically did nothing the last round. I'd like to see him back in the cage soon.

Probly have a 10 month break now knowing bellator.

bogbat · 10-29-10, 05:59 PM

Bellator are grasping at straws trying to find their champions opponents. All the champs are calling out Strikeforce's champs.

Hector Lombard has now called out both Jacare Souza and Josh Barnett(lol). Apparently Lombard and Barnett sparred on one occasion and it turned into a 100% fight. The gym owner had to bring out a mob and bucket to clean their blood off the mats afterwords. I would have loved to have been there.
