The plan being for Fedor/Barnett or Overeem/Barnett to meet in the finals and set up an Overeem vs Fedor fight "down the road" as they always seem to do...

Anyway, that's all. No intent to hijack your thread.

ha no worries, and I too am quite doubtful as to whether the Tournament Finale actually happens! Im very confident though that if it does get to final stage then one of Fedor, Overeem or Barnett will win.

what do you think about Robbie Lawler + 205? I think he has a great chance in this fight against Souza

If I had to play either at the current odds I'd take Lawler at +200 or better. However, as it's a 5 round fight I'd be more inclined to play Lawler by TKO/KO at +324 (Sportbet) if was going to make any play on him at all. Jacare has tended to keep fights standing for a while in recent fights and although his stand-up is okay he could definitely get caught by Lawler. Im staying away from this one just because of Lawler's tendency to fall in to subs.

thanks for your input, I dont have sportbet, stuck with bookmaker for now...so ill put a unit on +205 lawler

I still find the Barnett to win bet as kind of odd. I'm hoping you will get a refund if Barnett isn't able to compete in this "tournament"

ha yeah I checked with Skybet before and they said it would be void - stake returned!

If Lawler doesn't KO him he's highly unlikely to win.

Parlay: 1.256 units on Coy, Diaz, & Anderson Silva to win 1.843 units (plus stake).

nick diaz fight scares me.......santos could knock him out, the pitty patter punch stuff may not work

is it smart to bet the fight will go the distance then bet it wont like u did?? dont u lose either way and win i suppose

Are you referring to his plays on the Sotoropolous/Siver and Bisping/Rivera fights? Since his + odds are greater than his - odds he'll either win or break even.

No Strikeforce bets for you? I thought for sure you would have some crazy arb like Diaz gets poked in the eye for 2u at +105 and Diaz doesn't get poked in the eye on Paddy Power for 2u at +405.

Ha Unfortunately not currently arbs on the go Hoff...just the parlay with Coy and Diaz in it for now! Although stay tuned because there could be a cheeky last minute arb involving Mr Gracie and Prangley if I can get the latter at +155!

Prangley is at +160 on Bodog.
