What do people see in Seth? Ricco is obviously not as good as his record indicates, but what has Seth shown that makes people think he has a chance? He's lost to every b+ fighter he's ever come across. He looked good in rd 1 against Romero, but still managed to get himself caught up. He's a sloppy grappler and Ricco is slick. Thought this line would open -350 or -400, pounded the opener.

Agree. It makes me scared tho that some of you guys like seth, because I have a pricey unit on ricco.

But Nunya is absolutely right imo. Seth has lost to every B level or better guy he's faced. I'd barely put ricco at 'B' level per se, but antoher thing to point out is that the majority of seth's losses were against grapplers. So ricco might barely be 'B' level but he's smooth on the ground and has decent tds, competent stand up bigger than seth, good chin, and I think he has more heart. Also, outside of dan severen, ALL of seth's wins are by tko within the first few minutes of the 1st - ricco hasn't been (t)ko'd since timmeh years ago - don't see seth finishing and especially don't see him getting a decision because its happened only once (but it's mma so anything can happen, not ruling it out just highly unlikely imo). I'll be hating myself if I'm wrong and it will be 3 event losses in a row for me, but I'm paying the juice and got ricco for hopefully a winning night.

How long has bellator been broadcasting weigh-ins?

**GunShard** · 08-19-11, 04:23 PM

I think Curran can win his fight.

**NunyaBidness** · 08-19-11, 04:24 PM

How did they manage to find worse music than the UFC weigh-ins?

**bjpenn85** · 08-19-11, 04:36 PM

ha ha ha

**scofflaw** · 08-20-11, 03:16 PM

I'm on Curran inside the distance (+500) 5u for 25 units and Curran straight 6.55u for 7.5. That's it for tonight so lets go Curran

I'm 50/50 on the Curran/Sandro fight so I'm rolling with Pat at +135 also. He's a huge FW and his striking has looked very good lately. The only thing I'm worried about is that he patiently picks his shots and sometimes that doesn't look like he's active to the judges. But he does pack some power and can take it to the ground if he wants. If this fight stays on the feet, then Sandro could surely walk away with it on points. But hell, I've been rolling w/ Curran as a dog in most of his fights and he's done me well... so 2u on Pat.

Spot on chadwick. I'm taking Curran as well.

What is up seth

**Squareguy** · 08-20-11, 08:57 PM

Congrats on those who took Seth...

That's what happens when you have 50+ fights and your last two victories were a combined 11-21.

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 09:00 PM

I think Ricco went to his after party before the fight

**Squareguy** · 08-20-11, 09:02 PM

I hope Buentello gets that one in a million KO at the start of the fight...

I understand that Cole does what he needs to win...but at the end of the day, this sport survives and expands because it is entertainment.

**apeterlives** · 08-20-11, 09:03 PM

man this curran fight is hard to choose.. taking curran but hope sandro doesn't come with some flashy surprise ko should be a fun fight

**Squareguy** · 08-20-11, 09:14 PM

Paul acting like a practice dummy.

**sirchadwick1** · 08-20-11, 09:28 PM

Cole via Dec cashed! Boring fight though

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 09:39 PM

i cant wait for this fight

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 09:40 PM

i have a feeling curran is going to get the business from the judges

**sirchadwick1** · 08-20-11, 09:44 PM

Curran closes as the fav. Feeling good picking him up at +135. I believe he can win on cards here in usual fashion.

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 09:45 PM

i hope he doesnt lose on output

**apeterlives** · 08-20-11, 09:56 PM

good first round but curran needs to land some more hopefully he catches sandro when he gets wild

**spurginobili** · 08-20-11, 10:00 PM

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Goodnight!

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 10:00 PM

i was just about to write that it doesnt look good and BANG

**apeterlives** · 08-20-11, 10:01 PM

Holy **** ju<mped the shit out of him wow brutal jump

how great by curran

**sirchadwick1** · 08-20-11, 10:02 PM

Thank you for a perfect night Pat. Awesome ko!

**cheeese** · 08-20-11, 10:02 PM

how great indeed

**Nick The Greek** · 08-20-11, 10:10 PM

Had a nice small parlay win on the final 3 fights. I regret not putting a couple units on Petruzelli straight up.

**v1y** · 08-20-11, 10:24 PM

pissed i didn't put more on petruzelli.

**rocky mattioli** · 08-20-11, 11:02 PM

was worried early....was resembling lytle/hardy.....the wilder striker was just plain busier........

i didn`t think that curran would find the opening....but what he did was a thing of beauty...

if anybody dvr`ed it,watch it again.....curran threw about 2 or 3 jabs....on the 3rd,he had sandro dipping to curran`s right to get away from the jab and curran unloaded the kick as sandro leaned into it....

man that was sweet...the old boxing adage"everything happens off the jab" couldn`t have been truer than what happened here....but curran`s economical striking might come back and bite him on the ass at some point...

whoa........

lol sick to my stomach... three event losses in a row, first losses in general since penn/fitch event. That was a stupid ass bet, I"m ashamed. Good call to V and those taking seth, hopefullly you all laid some coin down on that mofo and weren't deterred. Not to disrespect, but ricco looked shameful, I'm so pissed and disgusted - expected too much I guess yet that's my fault. fuckkkkkk this shit streak

that curran ko got me, i just needed the fight to start the 3 round and curran hits it with only a minute to go

It looked like smooth sailing for sandro too.

**illmatick** · 08-21-11, 04:48 PM

Finished with a small profit on the night thanks to Seth. Lost a bit on Sandro but the fight played out exactly how i pictured it. Before the head-kick that is.

You could already see Curran starting to shell up just like he did under the pressure of Imada and Alverez. Can't take anything away from the way he timed that kick though. Perfection.
