POLL: Mark Hominick vs George Roop (UFN 23)

bogbat · 01-13-11, 03:24 PM

Hominick is the favorite for a reason but I think Roop may be worth a small play at these odds considering he has looked impressive lately. He won that fight the against Garcia but the judges screwed up as usual.

NickBaragona · 01-13-11, 03:27 PM

The only fight I remember him in was his knockout over Korean Zombie. Ill have to check out his record.

Shane · 01-14-11, 01:07 AM

I'm going with Hominick, but Roop has shown himself to be a gamer. Entertaining fight, for sure.

bogbat · 01-14-11, 04:06 AM

He's definitely proved to be a much better competitor at 145. I think this line may be a little off because of his poor performances at 155.

Here is one of my favorite MMA angles, Hominick has a baby on the way. Mark is going to come out like a house on fire.

That could prove to be a distraction too. It all depends on his personality.

Ignoring the "Baby Bump" is foolhardy

ha I've always been a firm believer in the 'new baby phenomemen' then went and made a school boy error of epic proportions and went against it by having Stephenson over Danzig

Never again will I underestimate the power of the baby bump!

And yes Houston Alexander is for real homie, and by no means is he a "CAN".

Poppa Catfish · 01-15-11, 04:56 AM

I know, I know. I too spat in the face of the MMA gods and went with Stephenson

NickBaragona · 01-15-11, 06:37 PM

I thought Stevenson would win with his wrestling. I told my sisters bf before the fight, he needs to take Danzig down to win. Stevenson just loves his standup...lol

Poppa Catfish · 01-22-11, 10:38 PM

Never doubt the baby bump!

Vaughany · 01-22-11, 10:50 PM

ha Gonna check first thing tomorrow if there are any fighters on the 126 card who are expecting/recently had a baby!

Poppa Catfish · 01-22-11, 11:25 PM

Well I'm going to need to do my research, but a quick search says that Vitor is expecting a child (don't know if this is old news or not). I shit you not.

Baby bump vs ufc>pride?

Lincoln73 · 01-23-11, 12:03 AM

Does roop even know where he is yet? That was an ass beating.

kiefynugs · 01-23-11, 02:13 AM

He got rocked like hell but that was definitely an early stoppage. Not that I'm complaining because hominick was my pick but still the stoppage was BS.

I agree, he was clearly rocked but still defending himself so the stoppage was premature. Might have screwed over some of my parlays, too; I had Hominick by submission in a few of them and I think Hominick might have finished it by submission had that fight not been stopped when it was.

ha I think Pride>UFC's powers of retardation might be the only thing that can override the Baby bump phenomenen.

ha yeah he was on queer street but they should of let if go on a bit longer! I almost thought for a minute therre that Roop was gonna do a Semtex and deliver a left hook to Hominick after the fight when he went stumbling over to him all crazy legged with Rogan in the background going mental about the Ref not holding Roop up!

rocky502 · 01-26-11, 11:51 PM

very pin point striking by Hominick

NickBaragona · 01-27-11, 06:44 AM

Homimick vs Aldo will be more competitive than Aldo's previous fights.

sirchadwick1 · 01-27-11, 07:59 AM

Hominick looked sharp as a tack in this fight. I wasn't going to make a play, but saw how many were backing him so I went w/ it. Paid off nicely!
