Munoz and Simpson are friends, and I've noticed that friends have a much higher likelihood of going to decision, but imo it's a risky bet. Simpson brings a very fast pace and has only been to decision once (in a fight that was very close to getting stopped) and Munoz is heavy-handed and throws with bad intentions, and both of them have questionable striking defense. Personally I don't see this one going the distance, but I'm avoiding a bet on it either way.

ha yes I've just seen the video of Munoz talking about them being friends as well as they were both coaches during the PAC-10 tourny. I dont see Simpson stopping Munoz, I actually think Munoz's chin is underrated despite what many say and what the like of Mike Hammersmith says on mmamoneyline, however Simpson does have some power thats for sure. Munoz could definitely land a bomb on Simpson and end it, and I think that is more likely than Simpson knocking him out so I will be adding that to a parlay as back-up.

yeah I totally agree with you about Munoz' chin. Not only is his chin not suspect, he has taken some hard shots and recovered quickly and well. He has a great chin. I think your back-up will be good insurance; as you say, if anyone finishes this fight it's much more likely to be Munoz. After reading the article you posted earlier, though, I think there's more value in a straight bet on Munoz at -150.

Of course, my breakdown of the Okami-Munoz fight was pretty far off, so I'm hoping it won't happen again.

ha yeah a mixture of paddy and skybet, that's why I got a bit carried away and played quite a few! Hopefully the two main fights will be good and exciting but not quite as entertaining as Foster/Brown or GSot/Lauzon!

All three underdogs got the wins last night! Was confident at least two of the three would win but didn't expect all of them to pull through! Should of put more on in hindsight and probably would of if UFC123 wasnt happening tonight. There are always a few upsets at these small Strikeforce events and there was no way that Britt or Ribeiro should of been a -250 favourites.

Total stake for Strikeforce Challengers 12: 0.59 units
Total returns: 1.455 units
Total profit: +0.865 units
