UFC 142: Aldo vs Mendes

[Educ8d Degener8]

If I knew for sure Gonzaga would go for a takedown I'd say -400.

One would hope that with this being his ticket back to the big leagues, he would try to take it to the mat.

But then again, he didn't exactly show a high fight IQ against Schaub.

[Beelzebubzy]

Gonzaga doesn't have a credible win since 2007

[FightFightFight]

I hope Victor loses. I have technical and statistical reasons why Johnson will win.

Are you factoring in lbs pressure per punch?

No, and that's not the only time. But he did try against schaub once. Maybe he felt he couldn't. Shouldn't be the case with this guy.

Edinaldo doesn't have any.

[Jesus Christ]

Edinaldo doesn't have any.

[NunyaBidness]

Edinaldo doesn't have any.

Be fair, he beat Geronimo Dos Santos on account that Dos Santos' big muscles got sleepy.

Maybe it was lactic acidosis

[NunyaBidness]

You mean like this statistic?

[proposition joe]

Lol.

[GunShard]

Have only been able to watch Ednaldo vs Mondragon, but in that fight EO's striking looked sloppy as all f*ck. If I knew Gonzaga's head was on straight, I'd pound that line... check that, if recent footage of Ednaldo showed the same sloppy striking, and I knew Gonzaga's head was on straight, I'd pound that line.

Need more vid of EO. I'll check all those resources from that other Gayb thread and search for some.

Cos from that Mondragon bout, I'm not buying the whole undefeated prospect sh*t hype on EO. Hot prospects come over all the time and get whooped on... Remember Amilcar Alves? ;p

Or Vinicius "Spartan" Queiroz!
Yeah leaves his chin out for fun and get's taken down pretty easily (one positive I'd say he has is he's pretty persistent and seems to have reasonable cardio...

Edinaldo vs Geronimo (28-13)...

Befort EV at 5dimes

THink Rumble might get more action after the weigh-ins so will wait till tomorrow before arbing out of my Rumble play. Hope to get Belfort at +105 or +110 if lucky on pinnacle!

The hype on Anthony Johnson for this event has reached Donald Cerrone-like levels...

Too many unknowns for me, personally.

I'm ready to square up on Aldo, Tavares, and Gonzaga; and wager some doggy biscuits on Prater, and maybe even Massenzio... yikes.

While Etim is the sexy dog on the card, I'll be staying away there as well. A win over Faaaalaoalaoalaloto isn't enough to convince me, and I have a gut feel that this is the card where Barboza lives up to his billing.

[Crippledjitsu]

Considering Gonzaga is the only person Ive ever seen knock carwin giddy from a punch, and yes I know dos santos tenderised his face, but didnt ever floor him. He has dynamite in those hands, and unless he is an absolute tool and decides to bullrush, Im pretty confident he will pull away a KO victory, got money on it anyway.

I couldnt agree more, too many variables, cardio, speed, is his wrestling overrated etc etc.
Etim I feel wont be able to stand the pace of barboza's stand up.
Aldo Gonzaga Barboza and belfort are the only ones ill be betting on, maybe a hail mary involving omigawa, but tbh I cant see it.

[Vaughany]

Weigh-ins should start shortly...

[Educ8d Degener8]

On now... my god AJ has a fawking fat face. (not live, but in his pre-recorded sh*t)

Apparently he isnt going to make weight

[ghost kid]

Belfort/Johnson fight on IF Johnson weighs less than 205 tomorrow; Belfort will get 20% of his purse, Dana calls AJ "total unprofessional"

[Educ8d Degener8]

LOL effing L...

[Vaughany]

Absolutely ridiculous! AJ should be docked more than 20%!

[Vaughany]

Wanna see Rumble's awkward face when he comes out and stands next to Dana!

[ghost kid]

Apparently he was 218 last week on the conference call. Embarrassing.

[Vaughany]

Hominick in the building!
