Consta by KO and McGee by Decision are the plays
McGee's got a good chin, although he did get a little wobbly against Dongi Yang.
Shhhhhhhhhh! I want Philippou as a dog!Originally Posted by bjpenn85
why is constantinos underdog, when he has faced and beat better competition than mcgee? Only name recognition i assume? I think mcgee gets koed in the first round, or at least loses the two first rounds.
I am not so sure about Mcgee getting the decision here. He lost the first round against ryan jensen. The fight against dong was quite close although he seems to get stronger as the fight goes. But he is a serious slow starter which might be his downfall in this fight. Constantinos strength and wrestling may also be good enough to keep this fight standing where he IMO can pick MCgee apart. I am not sold on any of these guys really, but right now i think constantinos has showed improvements a lot of improvements and fight ending qualities,while mcgees biggest improvements have happened outside the ring.
I want more, pinnacle where you at.
Whatever dude, I was warning people on here to be cautious of akiyamas underated TDD due to a variety of factors including his strong judo base. Re-read the post(s). And ya I was right.Yeah, granted he did defend Shield's take-downs easier than I thought and Im sure many others thought, but it was the 100% takedown defence stat we were chastising rather than your general assertion tht he has good takedown defence
Surprisingly it was shields striking that actually won him the fight. Disgusting win none the less.

Not as great as I'd hoped, Kongo losing and Mizugaki not getting the decision didn't help. Okami killed the double with Shields and Tottenham squandered a 2 goal lead against Arsenal and lost so that also ruined a parlay with Shields in. Edgar/Henderson going the distance and being FOTN saved my night...probably should of focused on that fight more and had more on it being FOTN rather than as a hedge to Pettis/Lauzon FOTN. Still got a few parlays listed above going strong though thanks to fight going distance and Bader not winning inside and Bader/Rampage going distance.

V, where do you see the line movemnet on Hendricks/Kos going?
I am thinkign that Kos poor performance vs Pierce and Hendricks KO over uber jaw Fitch might sway this line to move Hendricks in the negatives. Thoughts? I would love to get Kos at + numbers. I think he outwrestles Hendricks.
Cerrone vs Stephens
Edwards out
Rousey throws better punches that i expected. Feeling much better about her now. She looks in amazing shape as well. It appears that she plans to work her jab...and it looks like her most proficient weapon on the feet.
