140.00 carmont
100.00 weidman

**lucKO** · 07-11-12, 06:31 PM

25.00 on Beltran

Don't tail on any of these... though it must be said, te huna is garbage & is plagued with injuries

**Vaughany** · 07-11-12, 06:34 PM

Te-Huna has actually said this is first fight in long time where he isnt going in to it with an injury!

**lucKO** · 07-14-12, 03:44 PM

120 duarte
30 moore
100 larkin

**bjpenn85** · 07-14-12, 03:53 PM

How do you see this fight go down?

**fosho14** · 07-14-12, 06:34 PM

Why so much hate on te huna? He may not be a world beater but he can probably beat up any light heavy outside of the top 10. Cashed with him the last 3 times, and if he's matched up against another ho hum mid-tier opponent than I'm gonna be riding big again!

**lucKO** · 07-14-12, 09:07 PM

$25 Tim Kennedy @ 3.65
Added another $50 on Larkin @ 1.77

haha, there's a long list of reasons why I fade te huna... though he has shown a TON of improvement in his last 2 fights. I will answer that more in detail next time he fights

**lucKO** · 07-14-12, 09:55 PM

110 on marquardt @ 1.87

**lucKO** · 07-19-12, 06:38 PM

Reasonably confident in this play. Still presents good value @ 1.59, unlike Jimmo vs Perosh- which I was going to play, small until it got pounded while I was doing research.

$200.60 Anton Kuivanen > Mitch Clarke @ 1.59

**lucKO** · 07-19-12, 06:39 PM

Also got $ on Jordan and Lombard down early, but I will likely be buying out of both.

**lucKO** · 07-20-12, 12:32 AM

$55.00 Emanuel Newton > Attila Vegh @ 1.83

Tiny bit of value on this play- vegh has a very unorthodox, but effective striking style. He has an awesome left straight and very cool greco takedowns. Despite this, Newton is my pick based entirely on the fact that he keeps a high pace/pressure in all of his fights. Conversely, Vegh uses his power and speed in short bursts (in ALL of his fights). This is a very close fight and I expect an absolute brawl. Newton via UD.

Man, I'm ending up on an abnormally high amount of split dec. losses... Thought I had that, it went almost exactly as I thought it would

**lucKO** · 07-21-12, 07:03 PM

Added another $20 for a total of $55.30 on Faber @ 2.50

**lucKO** · 08-01-12, 11:11 PM

$45.00 Varner > Lauzon @ Even. Very close fight with a lot of unknowns. Varner has shown the ability to plant his feet and come back with power when he gets pressed- and I expect nothing less from Lauzon. Then again, Varner also can also get sucked into fighting his opponents fight. Not a fight worth playing heavy.

Initial heavy leans on Omigawa @ 2.40 and Oli @ 2.8... Really hope my book gets their shit together. & **** Oli and De Fries are cans.

**lucKO** · 08-03-12, 08:47 PM

$135.00 Oli Thompson > Phil De Fries @ 2.65

Wish my book released this earlier when it was at 3.00 but what can you do. Still a very live dog @ 2.65- I think this fight is close to a 50/50 giving De Fries only the slightest edge. Thompson by rnd 1 uppercut KO.

**lucKO** · 08-04-12, 07:13 PM

Adding 85.00 on Varner 1.95
Adding 35.00 on Bader @ 3.65

Not popular plays but Machida did look very drawn out at the weigh-ins. I bet Bader after Quinton's bad cut as well.
