Biggest Dog Pick for UFC 89

[sleung]

Take Jardine and bet heavy on this fight

at +255 this is a steal

When it comes to fighters with a lot of promise that didn't quite deliver, there's only one solution: Make them fight each other. Is Brandon “the Truth” Vera (9-2) as good as he and the UFC thinks he is? To be honest the jury is still out but he seems to be more hype than hope these days. As a UFC bettor I have no idea

i see Jardine at +155, what book did you find it at +255 or is that a typo?

[sleung]

sorry was a typo but still a good line to lay on

[I.R.B]

+155 i would pass on that...

Jardine will have to get extremly lucky to pull off a Win agianst Vera...

Vera is bigger, stronger, Better hands, Kicks, Knees... The list goes on... Can't see him winning this... Maybe a Split D but that would be a long shot...

[I.R.B]

Maybe if the line was at +250 i would lay somthing on him... Dont get me wrong Jardin is a good fighter.. But i just cant see him beating Vera...

no way Vera is bigger or stronger, both 6 foot 2 inch, both have come down from heaveyweight to lightheavyweight, but jardine looks to have more muscle and probably strength. Vera i would give a advantage in striking

Vera may not be bigger and stronger than Jardine but he's not at such a disadvantage the he will get muscled around like he was against Sylvia. I'm with you Rich, Jardine is going to have to get extremely lucky and then some to pull out this victory.

not luck when u well coached and have a good game plan

should have read my UFC handicapping prediction

and i quote

But he trains with the best MMA fight team and club at Jackson's Submission Fighting with Greg Jackson. Look at the game plan when he cornered and trained Rashad Evans for his fight with Chuck Liddell at UFC 88: Breakthrough. Jackson will come up with a good place to fight Vera as well.

Jardine and Hardy saved what would've been a disastrous night for me.

Just saw this sleung or I would've responded earlier. I did read your article but you're right as much as you are wrong so it didn't do much for me. Alas, you picked the winner and props for that, but I stand by my (extremely wrong) choice.
