Vaughany's MMA Picks...

Elia who?? That man is forgotten and he was a fairly hot prospect. Its too bad when those types of players get lost in a big club and you as a fan want them to play. Its a waste like you say. Then it hurts even more if they leave and lives up to their potential at another club.

At least you got Krasic to throw in there as a potential game-winner!

lol

(rofl)

haha yeah Elia will go to somebody in England or back to Germany and be a success. Krasic meanwhile can jog on back to Russia or Turkey! As long as we get 10 mil for him I'll be happy!

Oh well, leaving this season behind with a loss in the last game after such a stellar season gonna leave a mark. I think its all they gonna think about from now on, all Juventus players is gonna be mindfukked which will spoil next season

lol some guy really wanted Lavezzi's pants and pulled them down twice while he was celebrating, comedy!

haha didnt see tht! They love stripping to their pants in Italy! Yee terrible performance...should of started Pepe and Vucinic and it's pretty clear how much we miss Chiellini and Buffon when they dont play. And to be fair we should of had a blatent penalty in first half when Marchisio was chopped from behind by Aronica! Oh well, if anybody was gonna beat us it was going to be Napoli with their pace and flair

Is it just me or is Gil grossly overrated? I have seen his last 3 fights and have not been impressed at all. People keep saying he is the best LW in the world. Or at least top 3 but i'm not seeing it.
Seems more like a middle of the pack type in the UFC

Parlay still pending:

I think guys like Frankie, Bendo, and even Pettis would take him. Need to see how be handles someone like Guida and it would say a lot. Those quick on their feet with good technique, tdd, and a 5 rd gas tank will give Gil major problems at the ufc level. Don't take anything away from Thomson though...the only thing that holds him back is his health. He's still a very legit lw

It depends on what you rated Gil before the fight. The Strikeforce clowns were saying #1 lw in the world, so if you go by that then he was way overrated before he even stepped in the cage last weekend.

It's not that he doesn't have the potential to be the best he just hasn't done anything to prove it. Just needs to test himself against the best in the UFC. I'm just saying my opinion of him hasn't changed at all because of this last fight because I think there were other factors affecting his performance.

strange jds/mir props

jds in round 1 is -120 on 5dimes

standard 5dimes/sportbet...I got JDS in Round 1 at +185 and it's clearly been hammered all the way down to -120 and they haven't updated Fight doesnt start round 2 in accordance

I was curious if you have any leans on the Struve vs Johnson fight Vaughany? Struve is the more balanced fighter but Johnson hits hard and is tough..

Pretty simple for me...Lavar by TKO/KO and Struve by submission

Depends on the odds, will probably be too steep for me.
