[phillybadboy]

diaz wins inside the distance, but no play because it's a fave

[urge2kill]

if I can get what I think is an 80% favorite at -300 I'm all over it.

Not a favorite everywhere.

[RealBets]

Diaz wins by submisson. this is a really good matchup. looking forward to the fight. dailey only chance is a KO. if diaz is smart he would do what Koscheck did to dailey. i hope they give diaz another chance in the UFC. hes a different fighter since then.

[robotralph]

Diaz can easily win by dec or sub as semtex has nothing off his back and diaz will for sure be in top shape.

Not a favorite everywhere.

[sportsfanatic]

I pray that he doesnt do what koscheck did. Fight like a scared bitch. That's why I hate wrestlers some times. Koscheck got takedown after take down but did nothing. Who the fukk wants to see another one of those fights again????????

He's talking Diaz inside the distance not being minus money. I got it at bodog for +140, down to +120 now, still available at sportsbook at +140, arbable with not Diaz inside at -125 at 5dimes.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Can't imagine Diaz pulling a Koscheck... at least not in the same stylistic manner; ie. Wrestling takedowns.

Koscheck wrestling >>>>>>> Diaz wrestling.

I mean, I do expect Diaz to get Daley down at some point, but not with the ease that Koscheck exhibited.

[ttrace35]

Koscheck wrestling is way better than diaz. The thing I hate is, the better wrestler you seem to be, the worse you stand-up game is. Koscheck dominated that fight against semtex. But that was the most boring shit I ever seen. Scared to death to throw punches standing. You think the blonde haired bitch would have at least a little pride, and trade for a while. That was a disgusting display of mma.

It was definitely not an exciting fight... but it was free money.

interesting to see if Daley makes the weight here. If he's off by a pound it could turn this into a 3 round non-title fight

[JoshB]

I'm tempted to lay down 530 on Diaz NOT winning by Tko/KO. It seems like an easy bill, no way does he finish Daley with strikes imo.

I wouldn't be so confident; stranger things have happened. Did you expect Nick Diaz to knock out Robbie Lawler? Lawler hadn't been stopped with strikes prior to that (nor has he been stopped with strikes since).

Same for Tibau unless we count a corner stoppage.

[MMAdisciple]

Daley made weight.

This is a good point. Un-orthodox strikers are dangerous. Plus, Diaz's style of wearing an opponent down, then knocking him out due to so many accumulated punches, is even a bigger factor here due to 5 rds. I wouldn't go near that prop. Especially at -585. What's the point of this bet?

Exactly. Plus, it's hard to gauge how well Daley's gas tank will hold up in the championship rounds. I suspect he might gas given the kind of frenetic pace Diaz sets.

[Chairib]

Some really really bad observations here.

Care to elaborate sir?

Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

[clarkd32]

i don't think diaz will be able to take daley down until maybe the last 2 rounds. his takedowns are not good at all.

[robotralph]

Is it me or does Keith jardine actually look like the dean of mean during weigh ins? Gotta take greg jacksons fighter over a standup fighter at that value.
Also like kawajiri and diaz.

epic daley staredown

[Educ8d Degener8]

Judging by Aoki's staredown (or lack thereof), it looks like his butterflies must be flying in formation...

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Tatsuya Kawajiri looks in good shape, nervous about my Melendez bet
