Looks real solid to me. For some reason they like to stack the gsp cards

**Vaughany** · 07-16-11, 02:46 AM

Stout vs Siver should be on this as well I believe

**GunShard** · 07-16-11, 04:43 AM

Good fight card.

**ncat12** · 07-16-11, 08:16 PM

announcers were a lil brutal to 'big country' last time uh?

**Varker** · 07-16-11, 10:39 PM

wow this card is ridiculously good.

**GunShard** · 07-16-11, 11:06 PM

If Diaz were to win. Then it would be good underdog value to bet on him.

Vera ought to put a thumping on Marshall

Bart Palaszewski and Tyson Griffin have agreed to meet in October at UFC 137.

As part of the expected booking, Palaszewski is dropping a weight class to fight the fellow ex-lightweight at featherweight.

**The HOFF** · 07-20-11, 07:16 PM

A bout between "The Ultimate Fighter" alumni Tim Credeur and Brad Tavares has been added to the UFC 137 lineup.

UFC officials today announced that verbal agreements are in place for the middleweight bout.

**Beelzebubzy** · 07-20-11, 08:09 PM

Ill be on Mitrione, Tavares, and Big Country

**Vaughany** · 07-21-11, 02:24 AM

Yeah Tavares should run through Crazy Tim

**The HOFF** · 07-27-11, 02:06 PM

Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com that Jeff Curran is set to meet onetime WEC title challenger and current UFC fighter Scott Jorgensen at UFC 137.

MMAFighting.com first reported the possibility of the matchup, which is scheduled for the bantamweight class.

Diaz/GSP over 4.5 rounds? With how St. Pierre has been defending his title as of late he just seems to be dominating/controlling but not finishing. I think there could be good value in this.

**Vaughany** · 08-30-11, 11:46 AM

Cerrone steps in for Stout against Siver. Really looking forward to this card the most, awesome fights and great money making opportunities. Aside from BJ Penn, gonna be big on Cerrone straight up and Siver by decision. Don't see Siver finishing Cerrone

Agreed. Will be on Vera better than -300.

**Vaughany** · 08-30-11, 12:03 PM

Yeah seems like they feel bad for the beating Thiago Silva gave him and have given him the easiest guy on the roster in LHW division, who they have to give another fight to because he came in on short notice against Cane!

I agree. However, Diaz has good standup, I think this fight will be developed with GSP on top, working gnp. It will depend of the Diaz' cardio to know how far this fight goes.

Diaz has amazing cardio, I doubt tht will be the issue, I think length of fight may depend more on whether GSP can cut Diaz open enough with elbows and get a late stoppage.

**Hannibal** · 09-01-11, 10:23 AM

I think value of diaz's boxing will be neutralized by gsp's strategy. He'll be outside with his jab and kicks, and throw few combinations....most being single shots. When he does get close it will be to clinch or shoot. Which is a shame cause I'd love to see diaz work his boxing against a game opponent but it won't happen here.

Yeah, dont see cardio being an issue for diaz. Dude runs triathlons in his spare time.

**Vaughany** · 09-06-11, 03:44 PM

haha Diaz didnt turn up to the Press Conference today!!

**The Bet Master** · 09-07-11, 03:20 PM

Diaz OUT. Condit in.

**Vaughany** · 09-07-11, 03:33 PM

They gonna try and do Fitch Penn rematch then

**Vaughany** · 09-07-11, 03:36 PM

Not too dissimilar skillset to Diaz, plus GSP's trained with Condit so might feel more comfortably knowing what to expect and his weaknesses. Wonder what Jackson will do

**Grabaka** · 09-07-11, 03:37 PM

This is so sad. Crazy things happening in this press conference.

Anyway 1st post hello everyone. Been betting on mma for year and a half but discussed in another forum.

**bjpenn85** · 09-07-11, 03:39 PM

woaw, that sucks. But i would cry of happiness if carlos win. Every title fight would look like a brawl. Would be awesome.
