UFC on Fox 2
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
I am huge on Rashad at -145 and will arb out given the opportunity.
Davis had trouble taking Lil Nog down, Rashad should do a little bit better. Plus, Davis does not have the striking to set up his takedowns. However, Rashad has always had questionable cardio IMO.
Chael cuts more than emo girls so I would not be suprised if we see Bisping throw alot of elbows from the bottom.
Im shocked the bookies have Maia as a UD. Are they thinking this is another Kimbo/Rick Story fight where a last min replacement will prevail? Maia hasn't slowed down at all and his only losses are to Silva, Munoz, and Nate. Nate caught him and Munoz and Silva were decisions.

Same, soon as I heard the line I rushed to stick some cash on him. Weidman is no slouch but this is a big step up for him, his strengths are in grappling as well and that's not a game you want to play with Maia.

Rashad at anything better than -200 is gold. he's just purely better than Davis and Davis will have been on the shelf for 11 months.

This i cant believe the line. I think that this is a total mismatch IMO. Phil has barely outwrestled lil Nog and Gustafsan and neither have the credintials of Rashad. Rashads striking and speed is leaps in bounds above Phils. The only thing that i think Phil has on Rashad is strength but i dont think this will be a factor in this fight at all. For how much wrestling experience Phil has his TDs are less than impressive, he doesnt have good MMA wrestling. I dont think that he is ready and i dont think that he thinks that he is ready. I may eat crow on this but i see Rashad outclassing him all the way to the KO.
8u Rashad -180

There are alot of lines on Rashad at -170 or better!
^^Goodulck dude, parlays can pay out very nicely when everthing goes to plan. That being said I NEVER play them unless its a 2 fighter parlay because MMA almost never plays out how it "should." That is, unless you parlay favorites in Strikeforce, (generally those pay out).

Very true. I play them occasionally but usually just put a small stake down. They add a little extra spice to watching an event but usually end with you out of pocket.

Putting 1u down on Jon Olav at +130

That's tempting.

If the card were anywhere BUT Chicago I would put more down.
Russow fighting in his hometown is obviously a boost for him, I know he's been training his *** off for this fight too.
I just think that Olav had first timer jitters his last time out and I think he's a much more skilled fighter than he showed in his debut. He also knows his back is against the wall here. A loss will likely mean he's going to be cut.
Hate getting the worst of the lines but I am close to that on a few this time around.
2u - Evans @ -200
1u - Bisping @ +350
Haven't had the time lately to review past fights. Thought Dacis would have a bigger size advantage.
Too late seeing them walk out but I do not like the skinnier Beltran. We'll see in a minute.
Damn it, I would have liked some free money there.
Added..
1u - Roller @ -260
&
1u - Maia @ +120
I always think Maia is underrated, his standup has improved drastically. Really like Weidman but this may be too much, too soon on short notice.
Also, I hate betting on Roller but this is just as much a bet on him as it is a bet against Johnson.
