    Thanks, debating on the Mike Brown vs Deigo Nunes play. I'm close to taking Nunes...but just cant quite pull the trigger.

    Thanks, decided to stay away from the Mike Brown fight. Now I'm going a little parlay crazy, but its hard to bet straight up on people that are -300

    These main card fights are tough. I want to think Leben, Thiago Silva, and Guida would all win, but man are these odds close.

    Agreed, the main event odds are really tight. I like a few of the prop bets though, think that is the way to go.

    He didn't look that horrible, he was tough and looked to submit multiple times, Dustin just looked really good.

    Yeah he just has poor stand up defence, no footwork or head movement.

    Ended up going 5-4, thanks to Grispi and Leben. Poor Leben, I wanted him to fight Vanderlei Silva next.

    Great night, I'm glad I ended up staying away from Dunham. Did anybody get the Guillard by TKO +800 prop? I was considering it right before the fight started....

    Good job Mr Baragona! And yes check out Lask's thread, he made a small fortune off of Melvin's exploits!

    Awesome night for ya, Nick! Yeah I had 3u on Guillard in rd 1 +775 and another 1u on Guillard by TKO +524... when the hell was there Guillard by TKO +800?! That was just before the fight started? If that was on 5dimes I'm pissed that I missed it, although to be honest I don't think I would have added much more because I had more than enough on Guillard by that point.

    My mistake, Guillard to win TKO/KO of the night was +800.

    Pat Barry to win by decision was too good to pass up, glad I got on that one.

    I honestly don't see a whole lot on this card that I like. Herschel Walker's age scares me, but the opponent they gave him is horrible. Diaz to win inside the distance deserves a play as well. As others have stated, it is without a doubt the best play on the card.

    Carson himself is 40, and no where near the physical condition of Walker.

    I think Fedor may win, providing he doesn't have a problem with Silva's size.
