Sando, wait as u might be able to grab +220 around fight night.

The Bet Master · 07-04-12, 01:03 AM

Who exactly has Cung Le beat lately? Last fight was no mistake, the guys 40 now.

40 yes but Cote is on the wrong side of 30 as well and beside Randy was still ******* guys up at 48! Anyway age isn't Le's problem, it was fitness and dedication and he appears to have those locked down for this fight...?

Wow you think they will continue to crunch Cote? He is already way too short.

Cote at these odds is the worst bet ever. A far safer bet would be loading up on Griffen at similar odds to own Tito...

Vitooch · 07-04-12, 01:28 AM

Cung Le lost to Scott Smith.

CWD · 07-04-12, 01:31 AM

Cote can take some damage and Le will surely gas sooner rather than later...no play for me but I wish you luck.

The Bet Master · 07-04-12, 01:33 AM

I think you Mine as well go Cung Le inside distance. Really can't see him lasting 3 rounds with Cote.

ShogunRua · 07-04-12, 02:06 AM

this isn't a good bet.

Cote by TKO or decision.

sando · 07-04-12, 02:09 AM

No worries lads, thanks for the advice. We'll see what happens...

Vaughany · 07-04-12, 02:49 AM

"Fade me"....hmmmm

Balco10 · 07-04-12, 03:01 AM

Forrest over Tito large!

ZetaPsi808 · 07-04-12, 03:28 AM

sando be careful there are no free gifts in gambling

Vitooch · 07-04-12, 03:35 AM

Not sure how anyone could take this poster seriously.

getlucky2win · 07-04-12, 03:57 AM

im faded

sharlataans · 07-04-12, 06:36 AM

It's pretty accurate IMO. Cote takes this quite easy.

Are you ******* kidding men +188 on Le? Bookmakers ****** up bad on this one. Who exactly has journeyman Cote ever beaten? Cung Le has dominated every single MMA fight he has been involved in due to his freakish kicks and highly un-orthodox style. The Wanderlei fight is not an accurate guide of Le's ability as he was in Hollywood mode at the time making movies and clearly came in a bit chubby, although he dominated the fight until he started gassing and Wandy to his credit turned back the clock to the axe murderer days, and even then if Le had a bit more experience in the UFC he would have known to put his hand on the ground and prevent those brutal knees Wandy was dishing out. Le is no longer in Hollywood mode, he has trained hard for this fight...

UFC 148: ‘Healthy’ Cung Le trained smarter, not harder, for Patrick Cote fight on July 7

MMA and UFC news, results, rumors, fights and MMA rankings from the fan perspective.

Anyone who is un-familiar with what Cung Le brings to the table as a martial artist should go watch some of his Sanshou videos on YouTube. The man is a freak. Yes he has a weak chin and does not like to get hit, but come on - Patrick Cote is not fit to carry Le's water bottles.

For me personally 10 units (1K) - biggest fight bet I will have placed since I dumped $1200 on Cotto/Pacquiao

Just wondering obviously u have seen the movie Karate Kid. Do u think Ralph Macchio could dominate in the UFC if he had the chance?

CWD thanks for the video, wanderlei is a great guy, now the guy is gonna turn his gym nonprofit for those kids. This guy has a heart. He inspires people.

probettor1 · 07-04-12, 01:14 PM

I would be worry here with the Jiu Jitsu, Cote is training Jiu Jitsu in the same team as GSP, you might also expect that GSP will be the head behind Cote for this fight as they are friends. GSP is a probably one of the smartest strategist in the game. It would be very stupid to stand there to eat kicks, if Cote does that he might be in trouble vs a kick boxer champ. I havent seen any fight of Cung Le on the ground, but he has no wins by submission so maybe Jiu Jitsu is not his best game. Cote also has a great chin. These are the reasons why he is the underdog. Apparently Cote started to train in the military so Cung has many years of experience in his advantage as he started as a kid. He has a record of 16-0 in San Shou and 17-0 in kick boxing. He is a three time world champion in kickboxing as well. This is the kind of fighter I would never underestimate so wouldn't be vs him. But to all of you out there thinking to bet a lot of money on Cung Le make sure he has a good Jiu Jitsu deffense. MMA is not about kicking, any hole in your game will be exploited.

Thor4140 · 07-04-12, 02:29 PM

i remember the first fight i ever saw with Cung Lee. It was against that killer Tony Fryklund. The reason i watched it was because of this tremendous build up Cung was getting. I thought they dug up Bruce Lee from the dead. He fought this below average fighter and it was basically even most of the fight with a slight edge to Cung. Mauro Ranallo the biggest hyping piece of shit announcer in the history of MMA, who should be in the WWE with his hyping nonsense, was trying to bullshit people how great Lee was. This is when u separate bullshiters from common sense. Ranallo does this shit all the time and i believe he is the reason Fedor started getting a bad rap. People who can tell a con job when it is right in their face knows this asshole Mauro is either more blind than Jim Lampley or full of shit. He made Fedor sound like he could beat king kong. You get tired of hearing about this shit especially when u are watching something completely different. It reminds me of WWE announcers who try to tell ya that "this pay per view was the best event ever" Every single pay per view according to these bullshitters trumps the next. This is okay for WWE but not MMA which happens to be a real sport. Cung Lee might win cause Cote isn't Bones Jones but this is so far from a lock it is a joke. If Cote gets past the first two minutes dodging those nasty kicks, Cung will eventually gas like he always does, and that granite chin of Cote's is gonna bring a whole lot of trouble. All a sudden those kicks come slower and less effective. I don't know how many of u have gotten in a fight with a guy u could hit with a crowbar to the jaw and he smiles at ya. It is kinda demoralizing and u better have a plan B or be a pretty fast runner.

JohnGalt2341 · 07-04-12, 03:00 PM

I do think there is some value on Cung Le but I wouldn't call it a Bookmaker error. The most amazing thing about this "error" is Pinnacle(and all the other books for that matter) have actually made Cung a BIGGER underdog than he was just 12 hours ago. He's now at +214 at Pinny. This might be the first time in history that a Book actually "corrected" their "error" by moving it MORE in your favor.

dj_destroyer · 07-04-12, 03:37 PM

Not gonna bet this fight but Patty Cote has been putting in serious work... I think he comes out rather unscathed.

probettor1 · 07-04-12, 04:11 PM

cung Le gass out easily, is chubby, might not have a good jiu jitsu game, this is not an overeem, a world champ in kick boxing, ripped, big and with an great submission game. overeem vs lesnar was a bet of the year. This is just another bet. In MMA the bet of the year has to be a well rounded fighter. Wanderlei didnt even need to go to the ground, he beat him on his feets. The history of all kickers in MMA has been limited. Cro cop, Machida and Cung le are living proof. Many people thought that Machida would be the new generation. The truth is that kicking a fighter with a very good defense is hard, except you are talking about leg kicks.

A 40 year old, weak jawed movie star who is playing the role of a striker in MMA who has awful cardio, vs a young guy who has big power and an iron chin. Don't see how Le is a good bet at all here.

Le has to KO Cote in one round or he's done. Good luck doing what power punchers like Anderson SIlva and Chris Leben couldn't. Cung could;t even KO Wanderlei who has a weak chin now, how is he gonna KO the iron jawed Cote?

Patrick Cote by mid-to-late (T)KO. I'll be betting on it.

Didn't Cung Le lose to Frankie in Bloodsport?

Inovated · 07-04-12, 05:26 PM

Gonna have to take Cote on this one hes back in the UFC after being cut and he seems hungry at least enough to beat Cung Le

iifold · 07-04-12, 05:30 PM

Just tailed you Sando...

Got +205...

If you bury me I'm gonna send Archie after you once his hand heals up...

Yes and he should've been disqualified for throwing powder in the eyes. How did the ref miss that?

Yep, in order to finish Cote I feel his own shot is to land a perfectly timed body shot with a spinning back kick or something...but whats the chances of tht happening against an experienced guy like Cote?!

Only other way is if Cote fights like a complete retard and jus goes for the one punch KO whole time and gets picked apart for three rounds and somehow loses a decision. Again, dont think tht is likely with Cung's cardio issues and dont think Cote is dumb enough to just get picked apart
