UFC on FX: Browne vs Bigfoot

**Vaughany** · 10-03-12, 03:51 PM

“He’s a good fighter,” said Roller. “I actually knew him when he was a college wrestler; he uses it well in his fights. He takes people down and controls them. He hasn’t had many finishes in the UFC, just gets on top and controls his opponents. I don’t think he’s really comfortable with the stand-up. I think it’s pretty obvious that his game-plan is to take people to the ground, and that’s usually my game-plan too, but I’m going to feel confident standing with him for sure.”
“I think my biggest advantage will be standing,” added Roller, who KO’d Thiago Tavares in his UFC debut last March. “I feel very comfortable on the ground; I’m always very comfortable no matter who I’m fighting…be it on top or on the mat looking for submissions from underneath. I’m not afraid to go anywhere for this fight.”

**BIGDAY** · 10-03-12, 03:57 PM

Maybe my thread title will be...

If I lose this wager.....

I write in Jacob Volkman in as my President vote lol

**BIGDAY** · 10-03-12, 04:00 PM

Don't get me wrong, if Volkman is able to secure TDs, than its a sure 30-27.

Too many wrestler vs wrestler fights end up standing more than you think. I just give the standup advt to Roller.

I also have Ellenberger in an open parlay that I did a whole back, so I hope he cashes as well.

**Vaughany** · 10-03-12, 04:05 PM

yep, fact is Volkmann hasn't faced a wrestler with the credentials that Roller has. Yes his credentials haven't transferred as well in to MMA, especially offensively, but still he may be able to keep this standing for long enough periods to where he has a chance to catch Volkmann with one of his bombs.

One of his big telegraphed over-hand rights! Could be enough to catch Volkman

Your dry sense of humor tickles me.

Thumbs up emoticon to you V

**Beelzebubzy** · 10-03-12, 09:06 PM

Antonio McKee's MMA grappling is much better than Roller's. Roller has better stand up but he also has awful cardio. If you bet Roller you might as well just take him inside the distance because if he doesn't KO Volkman early he will just fade and get dry humped in round 2 and 3. Volkman dry humped the dry hump master in McKee so he is proven.

I forgot about Castillo so that's 2 professional dry humpers that he beat at their own game.

**gabe** · 10-03-12, 09:56 PM

Jacob Volkmann is the easiest bet on the entire card. Can't believe people think Roller has a shot. Think he can keep it standing? LOL I'm disappointed in Big Day. He should know better.

I'm very confident in Volkmann. Then again, I was very confident in Lance Benoist.

**Imsmarterthanu** · 10-03-12, 10:19 PM

I'm on Dodson , Johnson and Stephens

**gabe** · 10-03-12, 10:28 PM

I'm avoiding Castillo vs Johnson - too unpredictable.

**Hannibal** · 10-03-12, 10:52 PM

anyone think browne by dec @ +600 is worth a shot?
if broughton can last to a decision...i think there is a good chance that silva can as well. His chin is not as bad as the past two fights have indicted. Cormier and Velasquez are both killers.
Silva's best chance is in a grappling situation where he ends up on top. It's likely that jackson has instructed browne with a plan to dance around so he can avoid the exchanges and tie ups.

**gabe** · 10-03-12, 10:57 PM

Browne is gonna be looking for an early finish, betcherass.

**Hannibal** · 10-03-12, 11:01 PM

You're right he'll look to test silvas chin early. but if he can't get it... browne slows down considerably after the first round. Even half way after the first round

worth a shot

**sideloaded** · 10-03-12, 11:01 PM

yeah i feel browne wins in round 1 if he wins, if that fight goes longer I only see Silva using his wrestling and jiu-jitsu.

**gabe** · 10-03-12, 11:29 PM

Browne's cardio should be a lot better than it was in the RB fight. He's changed up his diet and has paid attention to his cardio. On top of everything, he trains in altitude @ Albuquerque

-No-.

I think that's a terrible bet. I wouldn't touch it at anything less than +1800. Even then, I wouldn't touch it. The odds of it going to decision are ridiculously low. The odds of Browne winning a decision are even lower. It would require him to win the first three rounds convincingly, which in itself is a stretch, and then not get finished in the remaining two. At +600, I think you're burning money.

**getlucky2win** · 10-04-12, 01:10 AM

i got a sprinkle on browne itd -150. i also read somewhere that browne is in better shape than in the past. i too have a hard time seeing this goin the distance but greg jackson might try2 gameplan for a dec. so i got browne -200 also

Roller has had questionable cardio in some fights - but take a look at the Castillo and Johnson fights where he was the one finishing on top

**gabe** · 10-04-12, 03:40 AM

Roller has been using TRT lately

**Vaughany** · 10-04-12, 02:30 PM

Ellenberger looking like he's suffering on way to weigh-ins!

**Vaughany** · 10-04-12, 03:18 PM

Really surprised that Volkmann hasnt hit -200 at least across the board yet

**gabe** · 10-04-12, 03:43 PM

I'm surprised he hasn't hit -400 lol

**PunisherIND** · 10-04-12, 03:55 PM

Ellenberger wins by TKO/KO* +180

and a sprinkle on Hieron wins in round 3* +2950

**Vaughany** · 10-04-12, 04:04 PM

Weigh-ins live shortly...
