Njokuani
- Pichel is relentless
- That's why I'm trying my best to build up my cardio
- So I can stand up with him for a very long time
- We're mirror images of each other, his ground is not that great, my ground is not that great
- My standup is better, I have the advantage in that area
- Training at Sergio Penha's, black belts, wrestlers, everyone is awesome

 
I've made a lot of $ on caceres.

...That said, hes in over his head here. Think urijah stops him, choke being most likely

Yea EZ, I love BLR, but this is a masive jump uo in comp for him here, before Urijah I thought a more proper step up for BLR would have been Erik Perez or even Mike Easton; but to jump from Roland Delorme to Sergio Pettis to "TCK" is just a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge leap in comop. I mean, this is essentially a title eliminator for BLR; if he were to beat Urijah he is 100% getting a title shot. But what's crazy is that BLR isn't even ranked in the top 10 and he's facing the #1 contender. I just think Faber wipes him off the map, and anything better than -500 is free money. Sadly, think we'll see Cody vs. Mendes numbers. :icon_sad:

i also hit that tito-shlemenko O1.5 line pretty hard.. but i did twice as much on shamwow-guerreiro O1.5. i can't believe it's still sitting around -145. i think it goes O1.5 at least 75% of the time

Yea, I fuckin' love this line.

I put Tito in a parlay but I've already accepted that the money I laid down is going into another persons bank account for good.

I hope Tito is lays on him for 15 minutes and weighs Schlemenko down with his enormous head.

I know he's made a lot of money but he's addicted to very high maintenance broads, if he's desperate for money he'll shamelessly lay, smother and avoid fighting just to get the win.

He's done it many times before, he was one of the worst of fighters to do that crap. Seems a lot of people forget how bad he would lay and pray because everyone focuses on his ridiculous persona.

Why would you put Tito in a parlay YI? I mean, his line is so high a parlay is not necessary.

However, I do think that you are on the right track when you talk about Tito laying on Alex to get the win -- this is my line of thinking as well. That is, thinking that the bigger Ortiz can get Alex to the mat at least once in the first two rounds and control him long enough to win both rounds thus placing the Russian in the position of having to finish Ortiz in the third and final frame.

Of course my thoughts are that Alex absolutely smokes Ortiz taking advantage of his speed and bewildering the flat footed Frankenstein -esque Ortiz to a dizzying UD as Tito just looks three steps slow out there. Indeed, Ortiz was slow 5 years ago and today he is absolutely like a sloth out there. I am only giving him a chance here based on the enormous size advantage Tito will have and b/c of the fact that Alex has never faced a LHW in his career.

The best bet IMO is o1.5 as I think Tito can withstand whatever Alex throws at him early possibly even getting the takedown early. If Alex finishes Tito I think it will be late r2 earl r3 as Tito has no gas left.

shit i completely forgot this was 3 rounds, definitely going to hedge a bit on tito now.
Thinking about it wasn't tito a similar price when he was scheduled to fight rampage?

Yep, it is only 3 rounds which gives Tito a far better chance to get the win.

BTW: Tito I think (IIRC) was actually favored early on vs. Rampage, or just a slight dog.
 
"Urijah prepared for some things that didn’t happen. Barao is an offensive fighter. I have to get him going backwards. I have to be aggressive while being safe.”

 
Chiesa
- Trinaldo is tough, has BJJ, kickboxing background, southpaw, fought at 185
- He's a tough opponent, he's in shape, can go 3 rounds
- It will be toughest opponent I've fought in the UFC
- I split my camp between Vegas and Spokane
- I believe this will be his first fight in the US
- I'm excited for the challenge
- He has a huge left hand, body kicks, you have to respect his power
- When I cornered Sam in Brazil, I met Trinaldo at a club, he's a very nice guy, we shook each others hand
- I'm not a big gameplan fighter
- I haven't fought a soutpaw in a long time, so we're going over footwork
- He's good everywhere, submitted Rio
- I can match him in any skillset, I don't have a gameplan, just win, kill or be killed
- I'm a performer, I'm bonus worthy,
- My beard is a disadvantage, gives him a bigger target

Holdsworth
- Camus is a bigger name than Kyung Ho Kang (got injured)
- We both come to brawl, it's a better match up for the fans
- I train alot with Dillashaw, it's been great, going to be a great night for Team Alpha Male
- I would do TUF again
- I'm here to prove I'm the real deal

 
Not only is Dillashaw saying he can't stop thinking about Barao, he's getting married a couple weeks later. That's madness.

Dillashaw
- Every reign comes to an end, this is his time
- I've been in so many camps with guys fighting for the title
- I've learn alot from those guys, I had to imitate Barao for Faber's 1st camp, Had to be in his head
- It's surreal that it's my turn
- My practices are harder than my fights
- Duane Ludwig has been coaching us for 1.5 years, we're going to miss him, he's OCD about MMA and waching tape
- I get married 1 month after my title fight
- Wife: the two biggest events in his life are just a few weeks apart, Dillashaw is an extremist
- This fight is on my mind 24/7, my other fights I was able to relax, I try to do the same with this, but a title fight is added pressure, Faber had to kick me out of the gym, grinding too much
- That's why I picked up golf, but it's hard so I got frustrated
- Barao is tough, always on his A game
- I don't want to put too much pressure on my self, over think the fight, I need to relax and enjoy why I'm there

 
He trains with Erik Paulson
Rivera says that fight with Takeya will be a great fight
- Takeya is on a win streak
- Expecting Takeya to fight intelligent
- Wants a fight of the night with Mizugaki
- Wants to take Takeya's ranking
- His father lives in Mexico and they haven't seen each other for 5-6 years so he wants a fight on the Mexico card.
- Isn't interested in fighting Erik Perez because they are both Mexicans
- Wants a stand up war with Mizugaki and doesn't want to be involved with the grappling and seems like he's expecting it to go the distance (just what I feel from everything he has said)

Pretty rough to listen to seeing as he speaks Spanish pretty poorly lol.
 
Anyone speak Spanish?

Parlay I love right now:

Volkov + Chandler/Brooks under 2.5 + Guerrero/Shamwow over 1.5

Pays out just under +500

Ivanov is unbeaten but I think Volkov can use his range and gas tank to stay out of trouble in this fight. I believe chandler smokes Brooks with his crisp, clean striking within the first two rounds. And Guerrero is a very rough, game fighter who is showing improvement. Given shamwows ring rust, I think this one makes it over 1.5 easily.

My favorite bet for the whole event right now is Chandler/Brooks under 2.5 rounds.
 
Bellator Fighting Championship 120

5 units Muhammed Lawal +210
 
NBA THURSDAY

as i stated last night, i want to play the clippers tonight. i didnt have an opinion on the pacers/washington game but i feel like taking the pacers are a must play at +4. with miami advancing yesterday, the pacers are prob a tad desperate to end this series and get ready for miami in the next round. i think the wizards can give a good effort and i wont be surprised at all if they win this game big. however, the wizards have shown that they are a better road team than they are home team. im not as confident in this bet as i was with yesterday's bet so i wouldnt suggest tailing unless you completely, 100% agree.

PACERS +4 + LAC ML at around +190 for 1u

good luck, everyone!
 
All of you guys use 5 dimes for betiing? What is funding methods is more simple and usable, i'm not from USA and its hard for me to handle with this weird things, too bad they do not use webmoney
 
Miocic is -650 now.
Call me crazy, but I think he's bettable at that price.

There's no way Maldanado wins this fight.

ninja roberts hasn't fought since 1/13, and that was a split loss to baesman, whom i don't rate very highly... but man, you'd think he'd beat jardine, right? sub or dec?

gilbert smith O1.5 vs foster? foster showed a lot of promise in the ufc before his health issues.. smith is mainly a blanket... i kinda like this over..
 
That's a pretty damn good card imo. Harris is going to wreck DJ. Starnes/herman? WTF?
 
yea starnes herman is weird.

herman's first fight post ufc. starnes looked really good on the feet in his last fight, which was at 205. but why the heck is he at HW? dude's 39 years old btw, too (starnes)

but man, herman gasses SO BADLY.. i know starnes kinda quits in fights, but he's got a really good chin, i think he's gonna beat herman after herman gasses...
 
how the heck are people betting linderman...
