Blasphemy o malley

**omalley21** · 02-22-12, 07:12 PM

I thought it might've been Gina. But damn I never knew she posed in anything like that. Thats the best pic of her I've ever seen.

**Vitooch** · 02-22-12, 09:35 PM

I was shocked when I saw this picture. I was looking at her pictures on google to asset her hotness and I was blown away. I'll take Brittany Palmer over any of them though.

**PunisherIND** · 02-22-12, 09:50 PM

edit: i think you have to look closer my dudes. her name is jaime koeppe.

**Beelzebubzy** · 02-22-12, 10:42 PM

Embarrassing for me

Looks like you are right
She is hot though

**Vitooch** · 02-22-12, 10:51 PM

That picture showed up on Google images for Gina. Sorry guys.

**Vaughany** · 02-23-12, 03:48 AM

Cant we still pretend?

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 12:13 PM

Are fighters allowed to wear contact lens in the octagon?
I would think not because of the potential damage to the eye..

Does that mean a fighter like Kongo is at a disadvantage because he usually needs to wear glasses?

Naw, it's offset by his opponents' disadvantage of having to wear an extra cup.

**Vaughany** · 02-23-12, 12:29 PM

hahahha

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 12:32 PM

wearing two cups is probably like wearing two condoms...
seems like a good idea but the extra bulk and friction would sustain more damage

I remember seeing a fight in junior high where one of the kids was wearing contacts. That image still haunts me.

Bendo's vision used to be terrible, not sure if he ended up getting Lasik or not, it was commented on in all of his WEC fights. Menjivar wears glasses as well, seems to do fine.

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 12:35 PM

they have those soft contacts that feel almost like a gel, right..?
i wonder if those are ok

**NunyaBidness** · 02-23-12, 12:36 PM

The first time you get hit they move away from where they're supposed to be anyway. I can't imagine they're allowed.

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 12:39 PM

good point..

so what happened to that kid's eye?

made a big play on tamura @+240 so much value here. Tamura should be the fav imo. He is a solid wrestler, and as someone mentioned, he avoided being subbed by gustavo who has an excellent guard. Even in his loss to Guy he had some good moments on the feet and was able to get on top. Zhang has nothing here except his guillotine. I see issei winning anywhere this fight goes. He can out box zhang on the feet and control him on the ground. tamura definitely has the cardio advantage over zhang. He looked comparatively fresh in the 3rd round against Guy, and was still effective with his wrestling. I thought Guy was the noticeably bigger man too.

I think you're overrating Tamura's striking just a bit. Still like the play though.

I'm hoping to get a good live price on him going into round 2.

Good thinking. I already played tamura. I had no idea they did live betting on undercard. 5d or BM?

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 03:32 PM

If it makes it to round 2 then tamura will already have survived the guillotine and have controlled half the round from on top. Unlikely for you to get a good price there.

**Hannibal** · 02-23-12, 07:14 PM

took hunt by ko/tko +450 for a little insurance

been hearing rumors about Rampage living it up in Japan. 2:02 mark he;s asked about his weight, is it time to fade Rampage?

**Beelzebubzy** · 02-24-12, 11:35 AM

Did Fukuda gas against ring?

I might throw a primordial play on Cantwell (always been a fan)

**Educ8d Degener8** · 02-24-12, 11:52 AM

From that presser, and seeing the size difference, I'm thinking Bendo's gonna get some steam after the official weigh-ins later...

**Vaughany** · 02-24-12, 11:53 AM

yeah size difference is pretty clear!

**Oblivian** · 02-24-12, 12:42 PM

I'm very curious to see the weigh ins. It always appears the Bendo barely makes weight. It should be interesting without the lbs allowance coupled with the fact that it's in Japan.

Seeing them sitting at the press conference, Frankie Edgar actually looks like he's got a bigger upper body than Bendo. Had a much wider built.

**Rubber Guard** · 02-24-12, 01:03 PM

A lot of Bendo's weight is in his legs. He has some massive running back legs.

**gabe** · 02-24-12, 01:12 PM

Yeah, huge legs and thighs. "He's got a badonkadonk!" -Rogan
