Like Christ says the likelihood is that this main event goes the distance, and I doubt Good is going to be able to take rounds through take-downs or anything so going with a +200 or better dog makes sense I guess

**Jesus Christ** · 09-28-12, 09:01 PM

Right now he's just not fighting at a range he can win at.

**Jesus Christ** · 09-28-12, 09:11 PM

Well that was something...Wallhead basically fought that fight as if he was terrified of Good I guess I can't blame him...I don't remember when I saw Wallhead fight so passive.

YTD 57-54-2 +$8,879.60
Shit night...hope I do a lot better on this UFC...let's roll.

My first play will be on Robert Peralta...both Peralta and Young are good kickboxers but I believe Peralta to pack more of a punch..I expect this to be fought completley on the feet with Peralta landing the harder more signifigant shots..my only fear is the ole hometown dec...I'll say Robert Peralta wins via Split Decision (29-28, 27-30, 29-28)

My second play is on Kyle Kingsbury..This is a close close fight and I disagree a lot with how the books have it...Manuwa is good but not the kind of prospect that should be a 2-1 favorite over Kyle...I like Kyle to use his size and tire out Manuwa en route to a decision that leaves the crowd booing...I'll say Kyle Kingsbury wins via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 30-27)

My third play will be on John Maguire..I'm not a big believer in Hathaway and I really like what Maguire brings to the table in terms of trip takedowns and guard play...Hathaway is no killer on the feet and while he does have good wrestling I see a lot of Pyle style takedowns in Maguire's game which as we know gave Hathaway fits..I think that Maguire is quick enough on the feet to eventually set up some trips and get this to the mat whether it be on on bottom or top...big dog here but I'll say John Maguire wins via Submission (kimura) Round 2

My 4th play is on Sass and there really isn't a lot that needs to be said here...do I think Sass can get this to the mat...yes, yes I do. Paul Sass wins via Submission (Triangle-Choke) Round 1

My last play is on Struve..call me crazy but I really love this bet..I think Struve is finally starting to put it all together..he is going to have an edge if Stipe decides he wants to take him down since Struve's long limbs and BJJ knowledge make his guard a nightmare..on the feet I actually give the edge to Struve..I think he is going beat up on Miocic on the feet and force a takedown where he will then lock up something in the transition..I'm prolly crazy but I think this fight is gonna be all Struve..I'll say Stefan Struve wins via Submission (Triangle-Choke) Round 1

Good Luck Everyone

**gabe** · 09-28-12, 11:56 PM

Wow, that's a huge bet on Struve...

**Sykes** · 09-28-12, 11:57 PM

GL with the bets Jesus, will follow on some, like Sass and Struve think Maguire is gona get murdered though.

**Mercersux** · 09-29-12, 12:51 AM

Have to agree with Sykes, Mcguire should get murdered in that fight. Personally, i hope I'm wrong because I have no play on that fight. I do love the aggressive play on Struve. He just isn't given the credit he deserves for as good as he is. I fully expect it to be a tough fight but i can see Struve weathering the storm and getting the W. Haven't been too many wins where Struve hasn't had to take a beating. GL J.

**gabe** · 09-29-12, 01:01 AM

Struve's biggest wins are Dave Herman, Pat Barry, and Lavar Johnson. He outed Dave Herman as a joke, and took advantage of Barry and Lavar's weakness... Problem with Stipe is- he has no weakness! He is a dominant striker and wrestler, and should hold his own against Struve's sub attempts. If Struve wins, it will probably be in rounds 4 or 5, but I think Miocic ends this within 2 rounds. He isn't getting subbed unless he's too tired to defend. He's got a lot of heart, so I don't think he will give in at any point. Stefan Struve is not the guy to end Stipe Miocic's undefeated streak. My opinion, anyway.

**TheCalculator** · 09-29-12, 01:08 AM

I'm with you with Sass, Peralta and Maguire.

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 01:10 AM

Maybe not on paper. But people believed herman would run over struve as well. It was the other way around. Maybe herman has 0 cardio, that has to be taken into consideration. We dont know if miocic has the cardio to follow a mighty mouse gameplan. This fight is so close, that im not going to put any money on any fighter. I guy that so easy blastst herman got to give miocic a fight. BTW struve also took a lot of hermans shot without even blinking, i dont think its anything wrong with struves chin at all, i think he gots one of the best chin, but miocic chin isnt bad at all either. Fakking love this matchup!

Agreed with most of what ya said. You got to remember though, Struve is a really hard out. Guy can take serious punishment and just keeps truckin. I do agree that Miocic has the striking and one punch power to make Struve go the way of his other Losses, (Dos Santos, Browne, Nelson) I just feel that with how young this kid was when he started in the UFC, he had to take his lumps. He's gotten better because of them. I would say those three i named are near the highest caliber of the division so no real shame in those losses. I just don't put Miocic in that class yet. If Stipe can land a punch early and take Struve out the way of his other losses, this is his way to victory. Longer the fight goes, and especially if it gets out of the first round, it only falls more on the side of Struve. I'm also not terribly impressed with Miocic's ufc opponents to date either. Beltran - undersized for HW and susceptible to wrestlers, De Fries- Extremely Poor stand up, Del Rosario- Now this fight is interesting. Miocic was having a hard time with SDR the first round. It seemed he finally made some adjustments and was able to finish the fight. I was high on SDR going into the fight and Miocic proved me wrong. I just feel that Miocic won't be able to fall behind against Struve in this fight and be able to have the time to adjust and comeback. Just giving my two cents. GL regardless Gabe. I haven't made my play yet but depending on how the earlier fights shake down I'm sure I'll throw some down on the later fights.

**Sykes** · 09-29-12, 02:10 AM

Struve gona Kill!

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 06:00 AM

Agreed!

**PunisherIND** · 09-29-12, 08:35 AM

Jc no play on hardy?

**Giroux** · 09-29-12, 12:51 PM

It wasn't the other way around. Herman was beating Struve until he gassed 2 mins in lol

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 01:31 PM

Not enough to put him away. same story everytime, people beat struve until he ends up winning. Should worry you a lot if youre big on miocic.

**Giroux** · 09-29-12, 02:44 PM

How did Kinsbury survive that round? Cannot imagine he lasts much longer.

That sucked. Kingsbury won that 2nd round. Oh well. I guess by rule they had to stop it.

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 05:49 PM

Congrats Buddy! Nice hit with struve.

Nice..... Good job bud.

**Sykes** · 09-29-12, 06:18 PM

Nice win with Sturve Jesus. Was on him myself, not a baller $1000 like you nice enough though. Sass let me down on a parlay good night overall though. Roll on next week.

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 06:37 PM

Cant believe i didnt bought struve TKO @ 11. Well knowing that this fight was going to be a standup fight.

I'm pretty damn surprised it ended up a tko...I was almost certain it would end via sub after Struve hurt him on the feet.

**bjpenn85** · 09-29-12, 07:01 PM

ah penetrate. im just getting irritated just by thinking of it. I also thought sub, but at the same time we knew miocic wasnt nearly as dumb as pat or the projects lavar. We knew that. We knew miocic wouldnt go to the ground...yet i do not play..have to move on. if miocic won i would never even thought about it. 1700 dollar bet...you got some balls jesus.

**Catchn_Picks** · 09-29-12, 07:58 PM

Ballsy...gutsy and outstanding pick JC...you are the best around.

**gabe** · 09-29-12, 08:56 PM

the only reason i was worried about my miocic play was 'cos you were so confident in struve, and rightfully so.

can't believe you were on kingsbury, though. that broke my heart. i thought manuwa was a steal at -180.

Yup..Manuwa really impressed me he broke Kingsbury's face into pieces.

I really like Struve's form as of late..never gonna be a champion but he is starting to dispel the thoughts of him being a guy who can't work range and has a glass chin..top 10 heavy IMO

**Sykes** · 09-29-12, 09:09 PM

For sure, plenty of time to get better too, I wouldn't count him out as a future champ just yet. Kid is a stud.
