[QUOTE=Jerseychi;15062926]Well it is kinda the same here. His opponent changed and now he has to train a different style on short notice. If i took Story i would be betting him blindly just like i did against the Spanird. Never knew who Brenneman was. Just like i don't know anything about Keith Jardines brother.Comment -
Brenneman had had 3 fights in UFC already and won two of them...bit different to JardineComment -
gray trying to get in clay's head
http://mmajunkie.com/news/29217/afte...fc-on-fx-4.mma
Clay Guida's trademark locks won't be swinging as wildly next Friday when he meets Gray Maynard in Atlantic City.
In fact, Guida (29-12 MMA, 9-6 UFC) will braid back his shoulder-length curls for the fight – after Maynard (10-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) filed a complaint with the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board.
John Fosco, Guida's manager and president of VFD Sports, on Friday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Maynard filed the request with the commission roughly a month ago – and that his client has decided to comply, which the New Jersey commission confirmed with MMAjunkie.com.
"Clay chose to avoid any distractions and simply complied," Fosco told MMAjunkie.com. "Clay will be braiding his hair back. Clay is not focused on this and has one objective: winning. Nothing will distract him from his goal."
Under the Unified Rules of MMA, individual commissions are allowed to rule on "whether head or facial hair presents any hazard to the safety of the unarmed combatant or his opponent or will interfere with the supervision and conduct of the contest or exhibition."
And in such instances the ruling body believes there is a hazard, "the unarmed combatant may not compete in the contest or exhibition unless the circumstances creating the hazard or potential interference are corrected to the satisfaction of the Commission."
In the case of Maynard and Guida, Nick Lembo, counsel for the NJSACB, said a hearing was avoided when Guida agreed to Maynard's request.
"He doesn't want to do it, and I don't believe he's 100 percent happy about it, but he's being very understanding and very cooperative about it and he agreed to it," Lembo told MMAjunkie.com. "Otherwise, if he said, 'No, I'm not going to do that,' we'd have to have a hearing on it and let both sides present their case and have a commissioner's ruling on the issue."
Lembo said if the NJSACB believes a fighter's hair to be "absolutely out of control," it typically will ask his opponent's camp if he has any problems. But he said Maynard's side filed its complaint in writing before the commission had even gotten to that point.
Lembo said the nature of Maynard's complaint was that Guida's hair "could pose a distraction to their fighter … and that they thought it gave an unfair advantage to their opponent."Comment -

Who is this Joey Gambino and why should I think he has a chance?
Also, Pearson is just a better fighter who will win that fight.Comment -
5D just released some more prop lines for this event. took a flyer on stout by tko @ +360.Comment -
Guida/Maynard being 5 rounds changes my opinion on the fight, so much. 3 rounds, Gray is an easy pick. But 5? Yikes, much tougher call.Comment -
Not the lines I was hoping for, but there is some serious value in some dogs... You fuckerrs with a sportsbook account have some decent dog lines imo... Bookmaker gonna strengthen up some fav lines and lower some dog lines I'm guessing...
Anyone noticed Bookmaker usually comes out not long after sportsbook (I'm guess they'll have their lines up by end of today if not first thing tomorrow) and their favs are valued just a little higher and their dogs a little lower than sportsbook's lines??? For instance, llamas at +175 on sb will open on BM at +150, or maybe a fav like story being -350 will open -400?? All in all though, they do seem to open in the same range...
Hoped gambino was gonna be a bigger dog against Siler...
Same with llamas, was hoping he'd be above +200... Ramos also not so bad at +200 range (stye to give brown fits imo) and if jardine gets above +300 I'll def place a small sprinkle.. Keith also being overvalued at +280ish me thinks, so yea lots of dogs I'm liking here...
They opened Camozzii stronger than I thought - Camozzi is a verryyyy live dog here, people will be shaking their heads at me for saying that, but I'm telling you camozzi as a dog in this is great,... I have some inside info from both camps that camozzi is gonnna really surprise and catone still has some lingering issues, not just with injury but also how he chose to approach his training focus against chris - big mistake... DEFINITELY would not put my money on catone, if anything play camozzii or don't touch this match up at all you'll get burned this is upset special right hurrrr...Comment -
Wasnt cj keith supposed to make his debut earlier this year or last year? I remember watching a knockout of his on Youtube a while ago and I don't remember why...Comment -
One could make the argument that Nijem possesses the wrestling advantage, and that CJ does not possess the jitz of his back to sweep or submit a wrestler with the base of Nijem.Comment -
I'll take CJ KeithComment -
looks like Steven Siler line has flipped, opend a fav now -105 dog, he crushed me in that Miller fightComment -
whats up with the ken stone/dustin pague fight?? no line still.Comment -
Agree man, but then again you have access to the info I do from our boy...
Long story short fellas, Catone is still injured. He might claim he's 100%, but close sources say a couple injuries, while not as bad as they were, are still lingering, especially his ankle...
Furthermore, my boy (let's just call him 'babe') who rolls out there in between the jersey camps said catone got KO'd just the other week sparring (pretty bad too I guess) and there are talks that his chin is gone (that actually he got dropped a few other times in sparring during this camp for camozzi), and to make matters worse, babe said people are still sinking the guillotine on him when he's going for tds...
babe only does jits there and he's small, so he's not rolling with catone, but he said guys not with the greatest skill level have been tapping him in camp... Maybe that's why his camp is focusing on his stand up only, not so much the wrestling / jitz game - and that leads me to another scary point...
Why is he planning to stand and bang with camozzi instead of going for his strong point - wrestling?
Camozzi on the other hand has chosen his training to focus on the ground game - supposedly some reps from 10th planet are helping him utilize a better rubber guard that chris has taken a liking to. In the past he's been hampered by wrestlers, but he did put up a decent fight and because he's focused so much of his training on tdds and jitz, I expect him to possibly stuff some tds and if on his back either get a sub or use it to stand up...
Perhaps someone can help me out with the name of the new trainer, but chris also has brought in a fundamental boxing coach to help him get better boxing technique meshed in with his already solid kickboxing... Seeing how catone got tagged by munoz, who imo is one of the most overrated and wild guys on the feet, I think if camozzi can sprawl and brawl he might be in trouble... And camozzi has a few guillotines wins too and considering the rumors of catone having trouble with them in camp, perhaps nick might shoot right into a guillitone...
All in all I'm glad I waited on camozzi because his price is getting better..
If you're paying that juice on catone i'd be real scared... Play camozzi or else NO PLAY on this fight...Comment -
Thanks for posting this info. I saw you said something earlier but I figured you didn't want share all the details in the forum, I was going to pm you.
I was thinking about a bet on Catone but it was based purely on a fade of Camozzi. The price on Catone wasn't very enticing in the first place, even less so now, lol.
Also, wtf is wrong with these guys and their training. Prepping for a fight it should be #1 priority to not sustain cuts and get knocked out. Makes you wonder about his chin because it could have been an "accident" just from a normal punch during sparring.Comment -
Yea I here you on the auto fade for camozzi, and if catone was better and I didn't know I did then I would be def backing catone, but not at that price no way, the value is camozzi... Yea really scary about his chin too, not that camozzi has great KO power, but with the new boxing focus he might have harnessed better technique and therefore better KO ability, so who knows, especially if camozzi's supposedly improved tdd and rubber guard keep the fight upright...Comment -
Camozzi up to +185 now...Comment -
6U on Hatsu Hioki by Decision (+157)
