Vaughany's MMA Picks...

I'm right with you, love the way oliveria fights to win and always looks for the finish. It could be argued that this could also be a criticism of his because he gets over zealous at times and has been caught both standing and on the ground, but I feel like he matches up very very well with someone like Brookins. Oliveira will have the clear cut striking advantage and jui-juitzu edge as well. He may however find himself being smothered to death by brookins wrestling pedigree and top control. It's kind of similar to the diego brandao and elkins fight in that it comes down to whether or not you think brookins will be able to implement his wrestling enough to maintain control through out 3 rounds and I certainly don't see brookins finishing oliveria. Personally I think oliveira is much too well rounded and will either hurt brookins with strikes or lock up a sub. My pick is Oliveria and I think -180 is very fair.

Hard fight to pick. Both guys are beasts who are hungry and motivated. Probably gonna go with the dog.

Agree very much so. But hold off because the line keeps getting better and better.

if hes been "taken", lets go liam nielson on this bitch

ha a cross between Leslie Nielson and Liam Neeson

Say what you want about Linkin Park ladies and gents...but they put on a one hell of a live show, I was blown away by it!...

I stopped listening to Linkin Park back in 2007 and I still want to go to one of their Live shows to relive their golden days. Good stuff.

And to stay relevant, I'm on Oliveira at -170 for 5u. Plan on adding 5u more if he drops to -150. I just don't see Brookins wanting to play on the ground w/ him and his standup is superior for sure. Not sure if he can get the sub, but I like his chances to win the decision.

Happy Roasting Coach...

Munoz talks about Mayhem's backstage antics..

Munoz seems like a really cool guy, seems like a genuine character

Hey man, don't mean to bug you and I know I asked in teh other thread, but you seemed pretty knowledgeable on jury both this season and the other season... What are your thoughts on the saunders fight??? I know you might not be playing him at that price, but I still think its worth it at -300 ish because he has him beat in every part of the game imo (jury's cardio is a bit of a concern due to all the finishes / lack of decisions but not major)
