      This card has really slipped through the cracks with all the GSP, Penn, Diaz news and the upcoming UFC on Fox. Not a whole lot stands out right now.

          What is your opinion of the main event? Do you think Leben is worth a play? I'm having a hard time breaking this one down. I see Munoz ground and pounding , but Munoz's wrestling hasn't always been as crisp as advertised.

            I think there will be better value on this card. In general, there's way more value in new guys, and the smaller the cards are -- the better value there is.

            The flip side is -- more time and research is needed to prepare. However -- well worth the upside.

                ha May well do tht...actually have a brother called Lee Vaughan!

                I've also rolled in same class as Vaughan Lee a couple times before, albeit not directly with him as he'd have made me tap like a bitch! Dude has serious BJJ game

                        I like Munoz a lot in this one. I already have Munoz as the last leg of 4 parlays for big payout, so I'll be hedging with Leben KO of the Night at +500 or better or Leben by TKO (Njokuani or somebody else could get a more devastating/impressive KO as well (gonna be a lot of stand-up battles on this card).

                          It kills me to say this but I really don't know most of the fighters on this card.

                              I'm fading Chris Cope until the day I die. Just hated that guy on TUF.

                                WOOOOOOO! But Yeah I'll be on Mills if he's dog which he surely will be - still think tht season of TUF ended up being the weakest group of fighters after Myles Jury got injured. Ferguson for me is the only real legit UFC level fighter to come out of it, and I guess we'll see tomorrow if Ramsey is good enough. Baszynski exposed Harvison and Im liking Mills to follow tht up by taking out Cope

                                  Michihiro Omigawa vs. Jason Young should be a nice explosive match. Young feels like a sleeper, looked quite good against Poirier IMO, solid striking and if he can keep it standing he can win. Standing, Omigawa needs to cover some distance to connect with his punches, and that might not work as good against a faster opponent with better striking then Elkins. Omigawa says he wants to get a KO or TKO this time, so hopefully the fight will remain standing.

                                    If Omigawa does just look for the KO it's gonna work against him I think. Young is quicker and will throw more volume kicks and punches scoring more points.

                                      Gabriel Agbonlahor is a VERY average "soccer" play for y'all across the pond!...

                                                In a 3 rounder I take Munoz by decision, but in a 5 rounder I may take Leben at the right price. Got to see where the line settles closer to fight time. Either way though this will be a small play for me. Very interested to see what lines we get for the rest of the card though.

                                                  I guess the extra 2 rounds in theory will give Leben more time to get the KO, but I believe if he hasn't knocked Munoz out by the third round he'll start to gas out and his chances of getting the finish will diminish considerably round by round. Unlike Simpson, Munoz isn't going to gas out in the second round.

                                                          Good thing this is a free one, I don't even think I would make the two block walk to Wild Wings for this.

                                                            It doesn't look like we'll get the prelims on Facebook here. Anyone know anything to the contrary?

                                                                      With a questionable chin at that. Etim for KO of the Night makes more sense to me.

                                                                      I'm getting the impression that many people are going to be on Young for an underdog play and I plan on taking advantage of this and hopefully getting a decent line on Omigawa. I like Young and definately see the argument, but I can't help but think that if Poirier can get takedowns then Omigawa can do that as well. I'm liking the square play here.

                                                                      The only dog (as far as my expectations) that I'm liking is Paul Taylor. He's seemingly much harder to finish than Njokuani and will hopefully avoid a technical battle.

                                                                      Both plays will be dependant upon the lines, of course, and relatively small.
