Cash both of them please!

[NickBaragona]

Thanks, debating on the Mike Brown vs Deigo Nunes play. I'm close to taking Nunes...but just cant quite pull the trigger.

[NickBaragona]

Any advice on the Mike Brown vs Diego Nunes fight?

[Poppa Catfish]

Roberts with the win

[Vaughany]

Nice start Bara!

[NickBaragona]

Thanks, decided to stay away from the Mike Brown fight. Now I'm going a little parlay crazy, but its hard to bet straight up on people that are -300

[NickBaragona]

These main card fights are tough. I want to think Leben, Thiago Silva, and Guida would all win, but man are these odds close.

[Poppa Catfish]

Agreed, the main event odds are really tight. I like a few of the prop bets though, think that is the way to go.

[NickBaragona]

Wow, Josh Grispi looked horrible.

[Poppa Catfish]

He didn't look that horrible, he was tough and looked to submit multiple times, Dustin just looked really good.

[Vaughany]

He didn't look that horrible, he was tough and looked to submit multiple times, Dustin just looked really good.

Yeah he just has poor stand up defence, no footwork or head movement.

[NickBaragona]

Ended up going 5-4, thanks to Grispi and Leben. Poor Leben, I wanted him to fight Vanderlei Silva next.

[NickBaragona]

Great night, I'm glad I ended up staying away from Dunham. Did anybody get the Guillard by TKO +800 prop? I was considering it right before the fight started....

[Vaughany]

Good job Mr Baragona! And yes check out Lask's thread, he made a small fortune off of Melvin's exploits!

[lasker]

Awesome night for ya, Nick! Yeah I had 3u on Guillard in rd 1 +775 and another 1u on Guillard by TKO +524... when the hell was there Guillard by TKO +800?! That was just before the fight started? If that was on 5dimes I'm pissed that I missed it, although to be honest I don't think I would have added much more because I had more than enough on Guillard by that point.

[NickBaragona]

My mistake, Guillard to win TKO/KO of the night was +800.

Pat Barry to win by decision was too good to pass up, glad I got on that one.

Parlays

Herschel Walker/Nick Diaz vs Cyborg fight won't go 5 Round distance 3 Units
Nick Diaz/Herschel Walker/James Terry 1.5 Units

[NickBaragona]

I honestly don't see a whole lot on this card that I like. Herschel Walker's age scares me, but the opponent they gave him is horrible. Diaz to win inside the distance deserves a play as well. As others have stated, it is without a doubt the best play on the card.

[urge2kill]

Carson himself is 40, and no where near the physical condition of Walker.

[NickBaragona]

Wow, I had no idea Carson was 40. I don't think fight finder listed his age?

[NickBaragona]

I though you could edit a post up to a day later? I wanted to recap my results from last night.

[Vaughany]

You'll just have to quote it bro...gd job tho

[NickBaragona]

Thanks, I didnt get to add Diaz to win inside distance for 6 units though....but I have the 5dimes ticket to prove it lol.

[larrymiller]

Fedor FTW...I am now highjacking your thread

[NickBaragona]

I think Fedor may win, providing he doesn't have a problem with Silva's size.
