[EzFlyer]

my god, i take one night off of the thread & i come back to 20 pm's and robbie talk. do some of you have nothing better to do? keep the thread(s) clean of this stuff, sheesh.

this isn't a hypocritical post in that i'm contributing to this derailment, it's a Public Service Announcement. stop. clogging. the. thread. with. nonsense.

If he's on the weed then I expect him to have a really dumb gameplan, lazy camp, slow reflexes, come in heavy, etc.

Damn O I knew you were old but didn't know you were born in the propagandist 1930s. Wouldn't be surprised if Cain put on his best performance thanks to the power of the world's greatest plant

Is this a dictatorship or a discussion forum? Robbie was one of the most active posters for the last 6 months, kind of normal to discuss his departure esp when some werent aware of it

i wasn't just talking about robbie.

I think the big concern is he has to stop using the mary jane this week. We'll see if he does an open workout and all that jazz, but this is def a concern imo

MMAFighting has corrected me. Surprisingly, he can use cbd oil up til 6 hours before weigh in

EZ - now you know why I didn't accept the mod position.

I see that I was too subtle.

Tristar is always trying to get me to learn, I'm training smarter, recovering more, it's tough for my son that I'm away, it's really tough being away from my wife, kids, 5 years in a row I haven't' spent Christmas with them, someone has to pay for it, 5-6 months of training will be worth it

The UK books are a bit slow to respond but to get Rousey at plus money would be crazy. She was eating these kind of fighters for breakfast before the Holm loss. Yes the loss was devastating but she just had a bad night, everyone has them. I think she subs Nunes in swift fashion.

ronda was an accident waiting to happen. none of the fighters before holm were smart enough to disallow ronda from bullrushing into the clinch. nunes has a good chance of winning early but i think livebetting ronda after round 1 could be very lucrative here.

I'm with ya homie. Any Smolka backers/devils advocates care to step forward?? After lots of looking I found my golden hen and am going BIG on this fight!

Smolka is extremely overrated on this forum and ive been waiting to fade him for AWHILE. Ben fought with absolutely zero fight iq and lost me money in that fight but I am so excited to win it back with Borg. I agree with basically all your points and am really struggling to find a path to victory for Smolka. I've been loving betting on fights where the opposite side has close to zero finishing opportunities and this is one of them.

I have a couple other thoughts but will wait to see if anyone does not agree.

smolka has ridiculously good cardio. borg can slow down in fights. borg seems undisciplined in general.. missing weight, etc. borg more one-dimensional -- he's just a grappler. and if he can't outwrestle you, he will just be on bottom doing not much at all (i.e. scoggins fight). smolka gets stronger the longer the fight goes. he underestimated moreno and it cost him. i think he takes over in rd 2/3 after borg has a good first, personally. great top game.

I agree. Vettori impressed me with the submission over Uda, who is a legit BJJ black belt. Vettori has now submitted two BJJ black belts in a row and is training striking at one of the very top gyms. Werdum and Gastelum are his main sparring partners and they both say he is a future middleweight champion.

to me, nothing about uda is legit.. he looked downright awful in the ufc

Can confirm ganja gives superpowers. Would never be able to down 6k calories/hour without it.

I'd be surprised if he's even alive come fight time if he keeps injecting the marijuanas like this.

I'm in the industry I've seen it all (don't tell the FEDs). Shit cures everything. I got some CBD spray for my shoulder from snowboarding last week it's been helping with the aches.

To be honest I thought Cain looked like he's added some new wrinkles to his game last time out against Browne but I just can't back him here. Especially if you add in principles of the HW factor and he's also a 2:1 favorite. However Werdum looked like shit and in IMO could've lost to Browne.

Im on Cody ko and Cruz dec. Like a ot this.

 

[LEMONZEST]

^^checks out. This is exactly what someone "in the industry" would say.... lol (re rebel lion)

I have 10u on Werdum right now at +189. I plan to play the movement and end up with maybe 4 units comes fight time. There is no way Werdum's line holds at +189.

 

[Card]

Can't Oliveira just grind Means out with takedowns?

 

[Oblivian]

The only fight that I haven't played yet is Magny/Hendricks. No idea what the hell to do on that one.
