Anybody interested in wagering on this event? I am thinking of placing separate wagers on Mousasi and Manhoef. After Fedor lost and ruined my parlay, I decided never to fall into that trap again. Both fighters are coming off of losses and are due for a win! Thoughts?
Mousasi and Manhoef require too much juice for me to bet on them. Sure they're probably guaranteed to win 75% of the time... but that's not good enough for me. I've been hearing about a lot of parlays on both of them (if allowed at your book) to make it easier on ya - but then again I usually stay away from parlays.
I really like Amoussou in this one against Nakamura. I think he's too young, too hungry, too fast, too strong - well you get the picture. The only thing he lacks is experience overall - but he's on the way up while Nakamura's battles are catching up w/ him. At -130 I feel he's the best bet on the card and I'm confident w/ my 3u bet. Expecting a 1st rd TKO.
And for my "for fun" bet I put $25 on Young Sam Jung at +1250 to win $312.50. Ah, why not... even if he's terribly outmatched that line is nuts.

Looks like we made the wrong plays on this one lol. Glad I only bet on these 2 fights b/c I called a lot of them wrong.

Yup, not exactly how i thought the night was going to go either. Luckily i play the japanese shows usually a little lighter than the rest because strange things always occur over there. Kikuno was a shame he couldn't pull it through, and Aoki might be one of those guys you can add to the thread about guys that are hard to trust. He should lose a lot of fights, but he always has a chance to pull out a sub.
We'll get it back, August is packed with MMA shows, which is definately a good thing. Trying to sit through NFL pre-season waiting for the regular season to begin is agonizing so a lot of MMA will help it out a lot
Yeah, lots of good opportunities coming up. I also made some WC plays... and luckily picked Spain at the beginning of the tourney to win it all. After sitting through 3 hours trying to keep my eyes open, Spain finally pulled it off in extra time.... I was stoked! That really helped bring me back to life.
MMA outside of the UFC is killing me though - I'm down 11u there.
