UFC 140: Jones vs Machida

[Vitooch]

Haven't really seen Lentz fight before. Isn't he the fighter considered to have a very boring fighting style by many MMA fans?

[jacktheknife]

The splotch of blood on the back of his skull might be a clue. And never mind that he was owning dude until then.

[DarkfallOnline]

Yeah right on the temple. What I don't get is why a 12-6 elbow is illegal, but striking down with the point of the elbow is legal from all other angles. It's the same strike.

I watched a vid interviewing big John explaining back when they were trying to sanction MMA etc doctors viewed footage of fights to decide what should be legal. Apparently a clip was shown of a fighter taking his opponents back and raining 12-6 elbows down on the back of his neck or something like that.

[Kaladarus]

Looked legal to me. All strikes were by the temple, not back of the head. Betting on Attonito as a heavy favorite isn't the smartest idea IMO.

Easy to say that after a fight. Especially after a fight he was dominating the whole time until he accepted the elbows. He wasn't really a heavy favorite when he opened either, only like -170.

Rubbing things in with 20/20 hindsight isn't the coolest thing IMO.

Thank you very much for your opinion after the fight already ended. It was really, really helpful.

[Vitooch]

Haha sorry guys.

If Attonito at -215 is deemed a "heavy favourite" then what is Hominick at -400 to -500 range!?

[Vitooch]

I just think there is more value in other fights. Hominick, Mir, Bones, and Sos seem like surer picks. But yea, my bad.

A super mega favorite

More value but you dont mention the odds? Do you think there is as much value in Hominick at -500 as there is in him at -280 then?

[Vaughany]

Lentz loves a guillotine!

[Vaughany]

Bocek's cardio could be an issue here, depends on Lentz's I guess

[Vitooch]

There is alot more value in Hominick at -280 than at -500, of course. You and I both know that lol. I thought the average odds for that fighter in that fight as it corresponds to the value in that pick was implied.

Bocek

[NunyaBidness]

Bocek over Lentz by being Lentz'd.

[spurginobili]

LOL @ Lentz, you lost you goofy-looking fukker.

[The HOFF]

I hate it when fighters get a win without doing anything. Although I suppose Lentz has been given a few of those.

[The HOFF]

Bocek over Lentz by being Lentz'd.

Haha.

[proposition joe]

That fight went exactly opposite of how I thought it would. Bocek LNP while Lentz goes for subs. Wow.

[hels]

At least the Toronto judges have a clue how to score a fight this time around.

[Vitooch]

Bocek could have taken more risks and tried to pass guard with more ferocity, but he displayed solid GnP and great submission defense.

[Vitooch]

That was admittedly arrogant on my part. Not really trying to rub it in although it seems that way.

[hels]

Anyone think Lyoto has a chance?

[Vitooch]

I don't think so. Jones will be able to take Machida down pretty easily and GnP. Can't really find a guy that can match Jones's skillset just yet.

[Vitooch]

Anyone know if rest of prelims will be available to stream on firstrowsports

You're right, if Lyoto lets Jones have control of the fight it's over before it starts.

[iQon]

Where are the prelims airing? Not seeing it on facebook or spike.

I'll let you know after it's over. Seem fair?

[NunyaBidness]

Until we see Jones take a solid punch, I'll take any solid hitter by KO at +800 or better against him.

[Vitooch]

Haha well played. Just realized that streams for all UFC fights are available via a certain social networking account. PM if interested.

[Vitooch]

Watson appears the more composed fighter.

[Vaughany]

Jabouin takes first round
