A. Simpson/Bowles/Guillard/Master Bader

I probably have more than I should riding on guillard.
He completes a whole bunch of 2 teamers (overeem, stout, kongo, griffin) and a few 3 teamers as well. I even have him straight for a large play too. I haven't been this confident in someone for the past few months. Let's hope we're good!

Oh man...kos you know I'm a supporter, I just do NOT like having parlays that rely on Guillard (homerun hitter that strikes out ALOT) and I can't trust Bowles YET (how much of him have we REALLY seen? besides his willingness to give up on a fight when he's hurt [not that I wouldn't have done the same thing; I wouldn't throw myself in a parlay either])

I like it. Are you guys really that confident in Simpson taking Tavares down and working him though? That's the only iffy part to me. Bowles/Guillard/Bader are solid.

guillard scares me. he's had a history of getting subbed, and imo should have lost the decisions against torres and tibau (and according to many, stephens)

Aaron simpsons a bad bet. Dude is a whopping 13 year elder to Tavares. Tavares has been looking great recently as well. I do see tavares getting taken down but the odds dont favor simpson at -200.

i did like tavares on the show, but he almost got KO'ed by baroni :\

As far as I know, Tavares doesnt have a wrestling background and he hasnt looked good to me in his UFC fights. Simpson should handle him

Guillard beating Dunham was his best performance yet. Roller is a lesser version of Dunham. The takedown wont come easy

I think it's best to consider who you think Simpson could not take down at that weight and compare his talents to Tavares. I think Simpson has a pretty clear victory unless he gets rocked early or gasses.

Nice 4 fight parlay that I think is pretty safe.

RDA or Njokuani can be added for value.

I like it, I would definitely throw in RDA as an upset hedge. I think he could upset Gsot.

I haven't done parlays for a while, but if I were to make one, I would do Cruz/Bader/Atrain/Siver, or switch Atrain out with Bowles. Atrain is hot or cold, I've lost big on him before.

Simpson's loss to Leben is a terrible black mark on his career. Still can't believe he lost that. I think Simpson didnt have a full camp for that fight. I know something regarding his training team changed around the time. He seemed gassed.

He was also in hospital prior to that fight with myriad health problems. I think it'll be an aberrant loss in his career.

I think Simpson or Guillard will lose or both.

particularly guillotines(which seems to be one of roller`s subs of choice)...guillard`s been guillotined 3 times...and roller has 3 scalps on his belt...

little scary...as good as guillard can look,he`s inconsistent...

big night so far

spargament · 07-02-11, 07:55 PM

good job so far kos, I had a couple small small parlays I lost with G-sot/Roller...I still don't regret my Roller pick (guillard always picks it up and goes on streaks, only to drop fights he shouldn't), but I saw a huge disparity in the Dos Anjos lines prefight that should have tipped me off somewhat, though Dos anjos having his flash ko moment isn't something I would assume most people expected.

Still banking on Condit.

bogbat · 07-02-11, 08:00 PM

I like Condit but the judges may get that one wrong if he has to fight off his back a lot.
