UFC 203 - Stipe vs Overeem - Cleveland

[Joseph Budden]

CM GOAT refusing to shake hands at the press conference, what a fucking badass

Good luck.

It would be a huge blow to the thread if you left, who else is sharing $50 parlays that win 3k? Can't let some ego obsessed kids distract you, try to ignore those posts. Everyone is tired of it and feels the same way.

Any particular props you are keeping an eye out for btw?

Thanks. As far as value goes there isn't any wild props that I'm on but so far I've played:

Spoiler

Jimmie SU (I'm weary of his decision). His boxing in the pocket and combinations to head and body gets him the W. I think Faber needs to finish to win this fight via choke in the scramble. I think Jimmie can do what Mike Brown did to him years ago, albeit Faber isn't as wild today as he was back then.

Lentz ITD (+192) but I think it'll get back up a lil higher than its current +160. Other guy is a finisher as well and he's on short notice against a notorious grinder who's better at wrestling than he is. I think it could be the case of the Hammer and Nail.

Brad Tavares dec (+213) I think the current +165 could/will get better. Caio has an overhand and decent jits but If Brad keeps it sharp and technical he gets more strikes in. Who wins the clinch is important.

Medeiros/Spencer o2.5 (-120) I'm a bit weary of Medeiros' penchant to kill or be killed but for close to evens I think the value is enough to make a play.

Lastly I haven't played it yet, but I might be on Overeem. I think he's got more weapons and Stipe has just his hands. I don't think Stipe's jabs are gonna be as effective against Overeem who is skilled at switching stances and parrying. JDS one of the best jabbers in the HW division couldn't find his range to even follow up with a 1-2. Stipe also likes to fake the TD, tie up, and strike on the break away, but honestly I see Overeem throwing his death knees if Stipe doesn't fully commit with some conviction in his actions. Stipe has his best chance putting Overeem with his back against the cage and he's actually pretty good at that. Overeem knows he has a shaky chin and once he's against the cage, he accepts and let's guys tee off on him and he just covers up. That's where stipe can catch him and finish. The late Del Rosario was thudding Stipe with some good body kicks and Stipe was having a hard time with him. Stipe isn't a very complicated guy but he's fundamentally sound. If Overeem stays patient he wins. The reason why I haven't played it yet is cuz his odds are increasing and Cleveland is rooting against him, and the HW factor of the 1 punch, I don't need to be ante'ing up on a fight like this. I'm also on Werdum but I'll wait to play him with Overeem once Jimmie cashes me.

It's no one in particular dude. I got no issues with any personalities in here. I just think you guys are over analyzing some parts of these cards that it becomes obsessive and detrimental to yourselves. Especially when it comes to CM punk or these chick fights where there's not much to it, they're women and they can't wrestle/box for shit and that's that. Nothing against women fighters but this is it's current state.

You guys spent your entire week discussing pages on these chickenhead fights and WWF wrestlers it's unhealthy. Soon I won't have any business here on these threads (smh).

Anyways I'm flyin out to Vegas to hopefully get a good price on Jimmie among others.

Good Luck. I'm heading to Westgate tomorrow

Whoops, my bad, forgot it was in the UK. You won't miss any, I think it ends before UFC starts

Which prelims will I be missing to watch GGG vs Brook? Anyone know?

Maybe none since GGG vs Brook starts at 5:30 pm EDT on HBO in the U.S. or 90 minutes before the Fight Pass prelims start at 7 PM EDT.

Hey good luck. I'll be there at the Westgate too on Saturday to drop my bets. Where you watching the PPV at? I have 2 bars in mind and I'm gonna bring my laptop to watch the Fight Pass bouts.

Considering he said this isn't one and done I'm not sure about that

maybe but now that he's gotta go through cutting weight and facing the notion of fighting for real and possibly getting embarrassed on ppv in front of thousands of people, he might rethink that statement.

If you had millions of dollars and loved fighting, would you stop doing what you love just cause you caught a loss? Especially when future fights will still bring big paydays? Idk, easier to assume Punk will be back imo

Maybe the first prelim fight but not much more.

Training and fighting are two different things. He might love to train, love the sport, that doesn't mean he'll love fighting. I'm not saying he's gonna quit if he loses I'm just saying he might if this doesn't end so well. Plus having millions of dollars means he doesn't need to fight for a living so there's less motivation there if anything imo. Personally I hope he does well b/c he seems like he cares and is trying his best but I have no idea how good/bad he's gonna look in there or where his head will be at after.

Yancy by guillotine where's my God damned sub prop?!?

Sweet. Saturday will be good.
