nice one hoff.

I felt real good once I saw Anjos dipping those shoulders. His footwork and overall movement has improved 100% from his fights with stephens and Griffen.

UFC 132: 2-0 +20.50u

**The HOFF** · 07-29-11, 10:10 PM

Strikeforce - Heavyweight 3 rounds - Sears Centre - Hoffman Estates, Illinois - Showtime

Robbie Lawler vs Tim Kennedy

My Pick: Tim Kennedy -165 (3.3u to win 2u)

**The HOFF** · 07-29-11, 10:13 PM

Strikeforce - Women's Welterweight Championship 5 rounds - Sears Centre - Hoffman Estates, Illinois - Showtime

Marloes Coenen vs Miesha Tate

My Pick: Fight Does Not Go 5 rnd Distance -185 (3.7u to win 2u)
My Pick: Miesha Tate Wins by DEC +325 (2u to win 6.5u)

So the only outcome that really burns me is Coenen winning by DEC. I just feel that is the most unlikely outcome to happen.

**rocky mattioli** · 07-29-11, 10:36 PM

i`m doing something i seldom do...laying -220.....on fedor....

i don`t think he`s done because he lost to a guy who cuts to 265(bigfoot)....or a 245 pound 6`4" black belt in his prime(werdum).....

the guy hasn`t fought someone his size since god knows when.....and he`ll actually have around 20-25 pounds on henderson....

this is the same henderson that got wrestle-****** by a 170-185 pounder in jake shields...and many said henderson was washed up at that point.......

lots of fedor haters...but the guy is extremely well rounded with his striking ,subs and sambo.....unless hendo lands a big shot,i think he`s in for a rough ride here vs a guy that`s taken an awful lot of heat of late...is bigger...and imo opinion,probably quicker...

he`s not fighting a 250-265 pounder here...he`s fighting a guy coming in at 207....

**The HOFF** · 07-29-11, 10:44 PM

I actually agree with that breakdown. It's not like Fedor has been getting KO'd Liddell style. He got subbed, and then was beaten down by a man 50 pounds heavier than him. I really don't see Hendo dropping him with one big shot. I think the Shields fight is very misleading as Hendo was hurt, but Hendo still leaves himself extremely vulnerable to the takedown when swinging. His TDD is surely suspect for being an olympic champion. I also don't see Hendo using wrestling to win this fight. I think he knows he might get subbed on the ground and will try to keep it standing. If anything I can see Fedor throwing Hendo around with some of that sambo. I hope I'm wrong, because I love Hendo, but I think the most likely outcome in this fight is Fedor by sub in round 2 or 3.

**FightFightFight** · 07-29-11, 11:14 PM

Dont forget that Fedor had a little trouble with Rogers, a lot with Arlovski, and before that beat Sylvia and Hong Man, but had some trouble against Hunt and even Lindland. He hasnt had a decent victory thats shown his value since Mirko in 2005! I may exaggerate, but look down Fedors win list. Food for thought.

well,the first 4 guys you mentioned blot out the sun.......trouble with hunt and lindland?...i don`t remember....apparently fedor had trouble with everybody.....and every time henderson struggles,well,theres a good excuse......

funny how that works... how fans think....

my point is,fedor`s 34 and has a smaller 40 year old guy in front on him....that hasn`t happened in a very,very long time...

just trying to picture in my mind`s eye henderson fighting all the "cans" that fedor fought recently...and fedor fighting the guys that henderson fought....

size does matter....

**FightFightFight** · 07-30-11, 08:43 AM

It does matter. Its the last excuse Fedor fans have to hold on to. I'm a HUGE one, but I'm a bigger fan of money.

I'm there with you Hoff, Menjivar was Starnes'ing it in round 3...

**jesuseatsnubs** · 08-06-11, 07:12 PM

Let's be honest though .. we've all seen fights in school or at bars or whatever place .. and when the fight ended .. WE ALL KNOW who won .. or at least most of us lol

I really thought Pace won round 1 and 3 .. but it was a very close fight .. so I really can't complain

**Mr.Kitty** · 08-06-11, 08:23 PM

Good call on MacDonald, he destroyed Pyle with that vicious GnP, that guy has unlimited potential.

UFC 133: 1-3 -5.00u

2011 MMA: 40-29 +55.49u

Yuck. Should have listened to everyone about Akiyama. Should have pulled the trigger on Rashad ITD as I said in the other thread. Oh well.

**spargament** · 08-06-11, 11:08 PM

Have to give you props for owning that Akiyama pick the way you did both in this thread, but especially the other one once again. THIS IS CLASS ladies and gentlemen.

No excuses, I was just flat out wrong. Hopefully I will bounce back strong next weekend. Looking at a few things, just wish they had all the lines out sooner.

2011 MMA: 41-30 +50.99u

Another crappy night for me. It just seems whenever I think an underdog has a chance and I don't bet it, they come through.

**Vaughany** · 08-16-11, 05:37 AM

Unlucky bro, majority of us had a bad night on Sun! Noke is a bit of an enigma, he almost seems too casual and calm - too much in his comfort zone. The way he got reversed on the ground when he had top control was surprsing.

**The HOFF** · 08-27-11, 12:37 PM

UFC 134 - Middleweight 3 rounds - HSBC Arena - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Spike TV

I think Paul Harris could give Mr. Silva a run for his money.

**The HOFF** · 08-27-11, 01:14 PM

Now I can't stop... Here is my miracle...

Nogueira/Nedkov/Palhares/Eduardo/Griffin +3.5 (.5u to win 29.767u)

Indeed, but I'd like to see him against Sonnen first tho
