BlindSite posted:I managed to hedge bets on okami Silva through a couple of private wagers. Really like his chances after spending so much time with chael. Then again he's traditionally a slow starter which might not bode well against Silva If there's one thing you can take away from Silva/Maia and Silva/Leites, it's that a grappler that fights cautiously on the feet is not at all guaranteed to get blown out early against Silva.

I agree with your point but I thought thales pursued takedowns aggressively for the first two rounds. I might be misremembering, but I don't think he started doing his buttflop thing until round 3, and I think he actually won two rounds on some scorecards well if this play by play is right at all I don't remember correctly http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/4/18/843563/ufc-97-anderson-silva-vs-thales quote:Official Scorecards: 49-46, 48-47, 50-46 thales came closer to beating Anderson than anyone but chael Bundt Cake fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Aug 15, 2011 |

...which I don't understand as Thales had so little offense that Anderson nearly hit a step-behind foot sweep on him. Rounds 4 and 5 should have been 10-8 for the number of times he fell on his rear end to avoid getting hit.

re: griffin/shogun chat in the other thread +180 is pretty good value for forrest right now. I'm also about 70% sure that the line will move even more in his favor come the night of the fight.

ForbiddenWonder posted:re: griffin/shogun chat in the other thread Forrest is gonna wrestlefuck Shogun, I got him in a parley with Schaub and Silva. e: haha holy poo poo Forrest is +225, glad I waited before placing my single wager on him Honestly I don't like a lot of the single lines on this card. Forrest's is the only line that stands out to me as being particularly great to jump on. Gonna stick with several parleys based around those above, along with Paulo, Tavares, Palhares, Barboza, and Cane. Queering Wheel fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Aug 25, 2011 |

I haven't posted here in a while because I'm still healing from going 11/12 on a multi event parlay and having it broken by Tito Ortiz winning. My confidence has been pretty shot since then

If Hughes goes out looking to wrestle he's going to take Diego down and feed him elbows; Diego has pretty much never done poo poo from the bottom to anyone other than a concussed Guida and I doubt he'll do much to Hughes. There is the strong possibility that he'll go out looking to "show off his improved boxing" though, in which case since Diego does have a pretty iron chin his chances of winning another Leonard Garcia special are decent.

J-Mac's definitely the best bet. Belcher is the better fighter, but his eye was poked out and he's coming off a year and a half layoff so he could be really lovely. At +240 he's really tempting. Cody Mckenzie at +140 also seems like a decent bet, since all we've seen of Vagner Rocha is the ability to get kicked in the leg over and over again and the only reason he's in the UFC is because he was a late replacement last June.
