V, is it just me or did rashad look like he would have no chance in hell vs. jones.... davis was no threat anywhere and delivered no angles or strikes or clinches yet rashad seemed medicore in it all. he didn't appear that fast or willing to let the bombs and high kicks go. the pocket flurries were useless and im pretty confident jones will pack a big punch and most important leg kicks. i think the -625 is bang on

hey v, long time first time -

why the Condit love? Would you make bets on him if he was EV ?

Feel real good about Nick in this one, mainly b/c everything Condit brings to the table that most dont (the intangibles, budo spirit, killer instinct, crafty ways to find Ws, seems be a better fighter once it turns into a "fight"), Nick is in the minority that has them all as well. Five rounds bodes in Nick's favor too IMO, not so much "but he does triathlons" but he's just f'ing resilient and his MO of demoralizing people with his hands in that manner can't be dismissed as anything less than effective beyond belief since Daley and BJ are two of his most recent victims. Looks like a wrestler could exploit his holes (hence why SF never matched him up vs Hieron), but it's 5 rounds, Condit is not a LnP guy, I've ruled that out when sizing this one up (although his ability to adapt to a fight w/ Jackson is probably his best advantage, Diaz is a "stubborn" fighter for lack of a better phrase).

Thanks, looks like you did good tonight but kind of hope that doesn't happen next week for the sake of my account!

Either Sonnen is slowing down/no more roids or Bisping is severely undderrated
i think one thing was clear, had bisping fought maia he would've killed him. bisping i feel is really good, his lack of power is why he will always just miss the bigtime. he fought perfectly vs. sonnen, i guess now he gets munoz and that should be fun, atleast with munoz bisping will have to fear some more meaningful striking and power.

Bisping vs Maia makes sense now since they are both coming off a loss
Munoz vs Weidman

true tha would make sense i was more thinking bisping has a moral win, and with many thinking he actually won that 1st round, but i think ur right. weidman looks good, that would be a very very quick jump. i think after how poorly davis did, maybe ufc waits a bit with weidman, either way i like them all

not only would bisping have beaten maia, but i think munoz would have beaten sonnen. everyone who was backing sonnen against munoz probably lucked out.

im a little bitter since i had plays on bisping against maia, and munoz against sonnen.

hedged with:

If Mr Wonderful wins by Submission he will get SOTN seeing as it's main event, Rashad has never been submitted, and he's the underdog.

0.1 units on Beltran SOTN at +3300 to win 3.3 units;

Arbed out of my 70 units on Sonnen at -350 with Bisping at +385 so will make 7 units if Bisping wins or overall stake back if Sonnen wins. Also got Not Maia Submission of the Night at -420, and Maia SOTN at +800 and +900 so will make a risk free 21.8 units profit if Maia gets SOTN, or 0.316 units if not. Similar with Bisping SOTN at +3300, and Not Bisping SOTN at -1500...30 units if he does get SOTN or 1 unit if not.
Should of waited longer but also got Swanson at -105 and Roop at +120...will net me 2.436 units if Roop wins, 0.351 if Swanson is victorious.
