Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine

[gabe]

Ah, Lawler's cup hit him in the back of the head

[Vaughany]

A lot of things were suspect about the Cain defeat, but it wasn't clearly as obvious as this one.

Cain lacked confidence in the press conferences and interviews leading up to the fight. He didn't seem hungry. When he spoke, I'm no expert, but it sounded his tone was often 'scared.' After he went down, he seemed completely fine at first, and then he started acting hurt. He allowed the punches to come on. Now, I'm not certain that was the case. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mexicans got a hold of him and made him throw the fight. That would explain why he seemed scared and didn't seem like he was gonna win in everything you see him in leading up to the fight. I say it's like a 55% chance that's the case. But with this fight, it's more like 95%. No knee touched him, first of all. Second, only one of the punches actually landed, but he started acting hurt before the one that landed. That dude could take hits, he wouldn't go down easy. And he knows not to knee in the head while the opponent is down.

Killin me Gabe! Should use this in your stand-up!

Saffiedine fought two rounds with a broken arm

So is this the first KO by dong strikes then? Should be held in some books or MMA hall of fame or something.

[dww123]

Wow, congrats on the win but you probably won't win long term with bets like that. How would you have felt if you had of lost?

LOL....like shit of course. I have yet to lose a 10k+ bet but i know its just a matter of time. Gambing's a hard way to make an easy living.

I guess, it excuses him pussing out with the takedowns.

No, it happened before to Mark Hunt vs Melvin Manhoef.

Thankfully, I bet the house on Rockhold when he was walking into the cage, so I finished up a few bucks on this event

[FindTheLock]

WTF?! How the hell can you think that Cain threw that fight? Have you ever been punched in the head? I doubt that you have if you think that was fixed.

As for Amagov, I'll have to wait to see the replay/gif to make a judgment. It did look odd but it was the shots after the knee that put him away,

especially when you're getting hit by a guy like JDS!

Exactly, it goes to show how resilient Cain really is.

[Vaughany]

"After last night's Strikeforce card, someone very close to Luke Rockhold (younger brother, cousin...etc) stood outside the arena at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and repeatedly yelled 'Keith Jardine sucks!' Within seconds, an older lady approached the guy from behind and started pummeling him in the back of his head. Security guards rushed to break up the unexpected altercation. Bewildered, the guy asked who started attacking him for no apparent reason. A security guard simply responds with 'That was Keith Jardine's mom.'"

She's probably more technical than her son.

She's probably more technical than her son.

Probably has a better chin too.

Keeping it small tonight...

69 on amagov (+145) to win 100

50 on mein (+260) to win 130

Really wanted to pay the juice on saff, but again, its just not worth it as those odds.

Might play some over / unders if my damn site gets the lines up in time.
GL everyone, should be a solid night of fights - I think they are all interesting and exciting match ups

damn, none of my dogs hit

Also I foolishly put a last minute play on larkin because I was on tilt from mein's loss, lost 50 more on larkin for an 0/3 night totaling -$170.

Even in retrospect I'm still glad I didn't play saff, I think that fight could have been scored either way and wouldn't argue a 29-28 for stinson.

It is what it is, could have been worse.

Hope everyone else had a good night - this was a no play card and I should have stuck with my gut feelings and just stayed out!

[MMAbetMASTA]

I don't have the guts to bet against Lawler in a standup fight after the horseshoe he pulled out of his asshole in that Melvin Manhoef fight.

I am going to stick with this logic from now on before betting against lawler I lost that fight too, I played the line on manhoef and thought I was on my way to cashing before - BOOM!

[MMAbetMASTA]

woodley is a piece of shit fighter how can anyone be his fan? He doesn't fight.

one of the judges agreed with you

We needed winslow's gangly sheman ass in there as a ref... she would have stood that up a dozen times.

I couldn't believe the ref let that fly for 15 minutes. And the one time he did stand it up it looked like mein was going for a kimura lol...

[MMAbetMASTA]

Almost looked like Amagov took a dive there. But I guess the flying knee grazed him enough to put him in lala land.

my friends and I were wondering the same thing... We replayed it over and over. From the side angle you can see amagov's head bounce when lawler throws it, but from the other angles it doesn't look like he gets hit at all.

The only reason I do believe he did get hit with the knee is because the way amogov's knees buckled, they looked like a typical buckle from a strike, not because they were buckling from lawlers weight coming down on him.

But it does make you wonder and does look fishy...

are you serious? Perhaps I'm gullable but did you read this somewhere and this is true?

0-3 and only -$170? Damn. If being -$170 is a bad night for you, then not bad. I lost 5 times that on Amagov alone.

I had pretty much all my winning plays throughout the week parlayed wit Arkansas St tonight and they lost. I am down huge this week.

Matt Hughes said: The knee that @Ruthless_RL knocked him down with definitely hit. Rob felt it and we saw it(replay).

Nothing worse than last leg of parlays screwing up...bad luck

Really? Every post-fight replay I saw showed that the knee did not connect. Even if it did, there is no way he would be put out. That guy is not taking a loss as long as he's got fight in him. If he's hurt, he'll fight through it. The cup thing is what Bas Rutten was saying. To me it just stinks of it being a thrown fight.

If Lawler hit him with his hardest knee 5 times in a row, Amagov would still be in the fight. There's no way ONE knee that that didn't really touch him put him out. SOMETHING IS UP.

gabe were you the one pushing down the lawler line all night?

Special thanks to him then.
I liked Robbie to bounce back in this fight but told myself not to play unless it fell below -150. Hit it at -130 and -120. And trust me, I was nervus as hell, as usualy when I hit a line that falls this much I'm not on the right end.

Guess I was only person silly enough to take him at -170.

It's nice to see Gabe admit a losing week for a change. How much did you lose Gabe? Will you be dumpster diving for food out the back of the Comedy Store this week?

Tough to dumpster dive with the broken kneecaps his bookie is gonna give him.

[sideloaded]

i dont think gabe admitted to losing overall on the event he said he still came out ahead.
