    Gotta take the under 11.5 rounds and its even money... too much punches being thrown.. and DIAZ's interview went a little somethings like this.... I see this as a win-win situation for me, because this fight is going to prove to me whether I have it or I don't," Diaz said. "This fight right here is what's going to take me to the top and make me the superstar that I've been wanting to be in the lightweight division. But if it doesn't happen then that means it's not meant to be and I'll move on to bigger and better things, which could be start from the bottom and pick up the pieces to rebuild myself up or just completely do a 180 and just go in the opposite direction."
    That direction could be to move on from boxing. Diaz, a recent college graduate, is studying for his law school entrance exam and plans to become a lawyer. He has always made his studies a priority and done well balancing them with boxing. Win or lose, Diaz, who also owns a construction business with younger brother Jose, has plans for the future that don't necessarily include boxing.






    stay away from diaz.... i see a 10th round stoppage.. or diaz may quit and go right into his "new" career.

    When you have a situation come up in your life that reminds you that you can be canceled out of this muthafukca at any time, it encourages you to make the most of out everything that you do.

    i know but your comment about backing off of it scares me. I am on massenzio, ellenberger (largely because I trust your opinion on him), those are my big plays. And I am on Munoz for a smaller play and the over 1 1/2 in the jones vs vlad fight at -125.

    Who is Bread on? I haven't been on his site in a couple of days. Oh yeah, I like Volkman also. Good luck to you bro!!!

    Do you have a live feed of the undercard or are you just reading a live play by play because the guy on Sherdog gave the fight to Kimmons also.

    just reading the play by play, I always go off of mma junkie, I trust their opinion over sherdog, seems like the crowd thought steinbeiss won as well

    Igor just subbed Irvin so i got most of my money back there

    Good for you man. I really should follow all of your plays. Even when you lose, you were normally on the right side but just some bad luck. I can't stress enough how much I hope ellenberger wins. My love for you depends on it

    Haha, I just read on mmajunkiejohn's twitter that Riddle came in to Thriller and even did the Zombie dance. That kid isn't all upstairs but at least he must be relaxed.

    That's funny, because I liked Okami because of someone I normally fade was on this filipino guy.

    It's rather a simplistic form of analysis but it can work sometimes.

    Nice work on Ellenberger boys. I've been so busy moving and with the job, I haven't been cap'ing much of anything lately... I almost tailed you guys on that play too

    BOL at 117. (my only early lean for 117 is Fitch given the current odds)

    So how many units do you have total on Hallman? Sorry man, I can't find any of your bets on UFC 117 in the thread. I can't wait to see who else you like this weekend. Looks like a great card.

    2.25 units total, to be honest that may be my only play for the night, i might look into a few prop bets for fun, i have another tiny play on Nelson but it's hardly worth mentioning, Rick story -110 and the anderson wins in round 1 prop might become a play

    I think we're getting tremendous value with dennis, I think he should probably be a slight fav here, after re watching Hallman vs Howard and Saunders vs Fitch I want to put even more down on this play but I'll wait to see how the line moves

    Ive got 0.8 units on Story and Saunders (double) but considering buying back on Hallman and doing a Story single bet!

    I like Hallman at those odds also. If you don't mind me asking.....what are your opinions on Matt Hughes vs Almeida and Fitch vs Alves.

    I was thinking that Almeida has a good bit of value basing it on how old Hughes looked in his fight against Renzo Gracie and how he had trouble even taking him down much less trying to get Almeida down.

    slight lean towards almeida but I think the fight will be close, split decision wouldn't surprise me

    Anjos/Guida goes 3 round distance -150 x1


    parlay x.5

    Alves -130
    Silva wins inside distance -260
    Almeida over 2.5 rounds -165
    Rick story -105

    Rodney Wallace +500 x.5

    parlay x.25
    Sonnen/Silva goes 5 round distance +345
    Fitch/Alves goes 3 round distance -150
    J.Santos wins in round 1 +173

    I'm loving Silva inside the distance.

    Strongly considering straddling that prop with Sonnen at +385. I know the popular opinion on this fight is Silva via KO/TKO/Sub or Sonnen by decision; depending on which fighter people are backing, but in my opinion the safer play if straddling is just playing a bit conservative with a straight Sonnen play in the event that he gets top control and lays down some elbows leading to a ref stoppage.

    If I don't straddle, I'll probably just play the Silva inside the distance.

    it will be interesting to see hallmans overall conditioning. He recently found out he was allergic to wheat. The wheat would not let his body take nutrients to produce testosterone or cortisol, two hormones essential to the activity and recovery of an athlete.

    he found this out after the howard fight and has cut wheat from his diet. He said he noticed a difference right away.



    Pretty crazy he had this allergy, probably his whole life, and had a solid career.

    great play on hallman ill, i couldnt get the courage to bet it but it wasnt even close. Sounds like saunders had one meaningful attack in the third round.

    Nice call on Hallman bud. I stayed away because of I was weary about Hallman in the clinch but it sounds like he controlled most of the fight.
