is fedor emilianenko still a safe bet to take

**brooks85** · 02-12-11, 02:39 PM

not SU at that number, either parlay it or take the props

**FlashinLeather** · 02-12-11, 02:46 PM

watch big foots last fight... He almost got KO'ed from a LHW

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-12-11, 02:48 PM

Not safe at all. If anything Silva looks to have value

Very true, and Fedor was swept by Grim. Both held on to win though

That is a good point, I kind of forgot about the first part of that fight. If anything I like the will not complete 2 rounds prop, I don't see these two banging it out for more than that with out one of them getting a KO/TKO or Fedor sinking a armbar

**k13** · 02-12-11, 02:57 PM

-500???? I see -350

The longer I look at it, the less safe it looks.....

-525 on bodog, I would JUMP ON -350, where are you getting that from?

**King Mayan** · 02-12-11, 03:03 PM

Hell yeah its a safe bet....

I'm not speaking poorly about Fedor, I'm just saying that if you pick and choose moments out of the fight you can make anybody look bad. Another example would be Mark Hunt of all people getting Fedor into deep trouble on the ground.

You can look at it from different angles too, Fedor after all is a light heavyweight in Heavyweight's clothing, and more importantly is that Bigfoot was able to maintain composure and come back and finish in brutal fashion. This could be used to prove that Silva can stay together even if the worst case scenario happens in the Fedor fight.

Fedor also came back and won all of the fights I mentioned, he isn't an invincible monster, he just maintains composure and finds a way to win. Which frankly is ******* impressive! True sign of a champion

this guy's a moron...don't listen to anything he says...I mean he has a 5 year old shirtless redneck white trash kid in his avatar

**eonizuka** · 02-12-11, 03:06 PM

, yeah i would wait till it drops a bit or go to bodog to put down a small 3 teamer par, nothing big just hoping to build a bank for tomorrow night

**k13** · 02-12-11, 03:48 PM

BP has -360

**playa420** · 02-12-11, 05:53 PM

its a little risky, silva a big tough dude, and fedor has lost alot of his mystique

**Cap dat 4ss** · 02-12-11, 06:42 PM

Fedor should win this fight hands down but there is no value in either line. Just watch the fight and enjoy it.

no not safe don't do it!!!

**Tree Rollins** · 02-13-11, 12:15 AM

The odds were ridiculous. I put silva in a couple parlays and bet him straight up just b/c the number was too good. Won some points and some cash on it. Didn't bet a lot though b/c i still wasn't ready to go heavy against fedor even though he's seemed like he wasn't even into it all week.

**kylehen_son** · 02-13-11, 12:17 AM

yikes, as soon as I saw how small fedor looked tonight I instantly regretted betting

Good thing you don't bet with money

**rem sleep** · 02-13-11, 12:18 AM

Big money came in on Silva right before the fight. Same thing happened last time against Werdum. MMA line movement is crazy. Fedor just doesnt seem hungry anymore. And that dude he was fighting was WAY bigger than he was. Hes still a ATG and the best HW MMA fighter ever.

**NYSportsGuy210** · 02-13-11, 12:22 AM

Actually that title of best ever belongs to Anderson "The Spider" Silva.

In his prime...Chuck Lidell could have beaten Federenko.

**Powderguy** · 02-13-11, 12:23 AM

What a swollen eye

**chemicalbrother** · 02-13-11, 12:35 AM

i kinda feel bad for fedor...

I agree fedor has been protected his whole career he comes over to the states and fights in the b leagues and can't even earn a title shot i can't imagine he would have had much success in the UFC

no.

though fedor tends to try to beat opponents at their own game, if the fight even comes NEAR the ground, it's over.

prime fedor and prime chuck throwing at each other sounds like something i could watch forever. that said, that's even. literally EVERYTHING else is +fedor.

The last few weeks Fedor has acted like he really doesn't give a shit anymore.

**antifoil** · 02-13-11, 01:58 AM

how old is he? is he physcially just on the down turn.

**sportsfun** · 02-13-11, 02:09 AM

another big upset in mma. seems to happen a lot in mma it seems.

Tough to say, he has a lot of rust, only was in the ring for 69 seconds last year.

It's not age. Bigfoot had a 55 pound advantage over him (they said he was around 285 by fight time) and was very hungry and underestimated by most (myself included). Bigfoot's a very dangerous and well-rounded fighter. Fedor fought like a champion. I was amazed he made it through that second round. He's going to retire, but in my eyes he remains the greatest. The end of an era.

**nyed1010** · 02-13-11, 02:27 AM

don't get me wrong, Fedor is a GREAT fighter, but he's been way overrated. Look at his opponent list. He's fought nobodies his entire career. When fat **** tim sylvia is one of the better fighters on that list, something is wrong. Now he's getting destroyed by second rate fighters in a second rate organization.
