5dimes is a great book you should definitely put $200 in it. It might be a little more complicated than a local, but you get better lines and more props.

I just laid 1600 points on G Sot. Too much juice to lay real money. He's my favorite.fighter since I'm a proud Australian and have been very impressed with his performances in the UFC since he was on TUF.Comment -
Not sure how long this has been going on for but Fitch is a vegan. I think its recent because Florian is saying he is walking around at 176lbs now. He won't be cutting as much weight now but he might be smaller (less muscle?). Maybe taking a play on Penn.

i remember Joe mentioning that he was on that diet for his last fight vs Thiago Alves. Also, I read somewhere today that BJ currently weights 165lbs. This could mean that BJ will have a lot of cardio this fight unlike some of his earlier fights at 170, but the weight disadvantage may hurt him on the ground.Comment -

I was wondering what was going on when I first saw this video also. He's still going to be slightly bigger than BJ, but this definitely changes things.Comment -
God he's a vegan. I f*king hate this guy
Still gonna win thoughComment -
I don't think he's on that diet because he is against eating meat like the typical vegetarian, he believes it's better for his health.Comment -
Florian on Fitch's weight/Penn fight:
"I know you mentioned him walking around at 200lbs, that is definitely the case. However, I just was with him at the last UFC in Vegas [UFC 126] he's actually walking around at 176lbs," Florian stated. "He's a vegan now. He's 100 percent vegan. He's changed his whole lifestlye. And the first thing I said to him 'Man, you're looking pretty darn skinny' and he said, 'yeah, I'm a vegan now and I'm 176lbs right now'. That is actually I hear maybe even a concern with people in his own camp."
...
"Listen, I think B.J. Penn always has a chance. The guy's extremely dangerous on his feet. He's going to be a little bit tougher to take down than Jon Fitch thinks. I would give even more of a chance to Jon Fitch if it was a five-rounder. At three rounds, I give a little bit more of a chance to B.J [Penn] because I think a three-round B.J. [Penn] is different than a five-round B.J. [Penn]. A three-round B.J. [Penn] will go for it right from the outset. He'll be very aggressive. He'll kind of just let it loose for every single round. As soon as that bell starts. I noticed a five-round B.J. [Penn], he really paces himself, he's really unsure of the pace he needs to go at."

I also read Florian had it mixed up and/or was being a sensationalist, so I don't know...Comment -
I'm not sure I can pass up Rivera at +275.Comment -
I didnt think he was a vegan, I know who he is very specific about his diet, but I thought he mostly just removed dairy products from his diet.Comment -
Pretty awesome, Te-Huna donating all of his earnings to Christchurch Earthquake relief....

Still can't help but think one of the two big favs will go down tomorrow night. I put more into Rivera back up, took him for a 1st round finish at +700 and 2nd round at +900...it seems whoever strongly favors Rivera would be best taking those. And I already had Siver inside so I went with decision at +639.Comment -
Sh*t, I dont care if Fitch is a vegan or relies solely on a diet of mealworms... judging by the 127 press conference (granted before the weight cuts for both guys and crap), he looks like he'll have a reasonable size advantage here. And BJ looks kinda rotund -- again, this is prior to final weight cuts and so forth, but still...
Comment -
We'll have to wait for the weigh ins, but you're right he does look like he's got a decent size advantage over BJ.Comment -
Waiting for Hoff to do his thang, but this thumbnail is all i could find on ufc.com...

Bisping fired up at the weigh ins! Suddenly I'm really looking forward to that fight.Comment -
BJ favoring his right leg? Peg leg.Comment -
This touches on Fitch's new diet
Comment -
Ebersole looking severely underweight. The Lytle rout should be fast, adding 1st round prop.Comment -
Apart from the typical mummy physique G-Sot was sporting...he was an absolute stick, too.

He usually seems to struggle at weigh ins, this one seemed to be one his easier cuts which was confirmed on Dana white's latest video blog. Siver actually struggled to make weight this event.
Comment -
yes !!..i thought i was the only one that noticed it....when he got on the scale he stiff legged it...
and the pants?.....i agree that something looks awry with penn...
and sotiropoulos?...my god...every time i see the guy at a weigh-in,i cringe....how many people....totally dried out...have hips that are as big as their shoulders?....
muscle tone is to sotiropoulos is what shoes are to a fish....Comment -
The Bisping and Rivera weigh in was hilarious. I wonder if Bisping's emotions will change his game plan during the fight.Comment -
This card sux. Another not needed event. Waiting for bones/shogun........
Comment -
Fitch has been a vegan for sometime now. I believe since the Saunders fight. Of course now it's a "big time story"
I can write an article about how Fitch has more energy because he's eating less processed foods. Don't get derailed by the hype train.
And Ebersole has always had that build.Comment -
Not eating meat will definitely hurt a fighters career. The china study has been debunked.Comment -
Fitch read about this diet called the china study which is vegeterian but the science behind has been disproven. You feel good at first because you arent getting the preservatives and hormones in the standard american diet, but its not the best diet. Not eating meat is a terrible idea for a professional fighter. I still think he will beat BJ penn though lol.Comment -
Well the only issue with the diet would be the low amount of protein and possible not enough calories right?Comment
