Also is it just me or does almost every fight on the next FOX card set off your "absolutely do not bet on this" alarm? I can't even postulate a single totally sick parlay to narrowly lose right now.

I'd be pretty confident on Evans over Davis and Roller over Johnson

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I'm betting on Maia for sure. no "cred mining" either or whatever, I just think Maia is a cool dude with cool hair. Mayhem had the ugliest striking I've ever seen and he still wasn't that threatened by Bisping. Also Bisping hasn't had a real break from training/MMA since TUF started last fall but I have no idea if that will matter or not.

If I had to parlay I would do Rashad/Sonnen/Maia but I will probably straight bet Rashad, Munoz and Maia.

as far as the prelims go I will likely take George Roop over Cub Swanson and Evan Dunham over Nik Lentz.

after last night i am now only 60p from where i started, if kamal shalorus were not so profoundly terrible i would have the princely sum of £2.90 as my career profit. having made -60p in a one month span, i can conclusively say that "don't bet on mma" is a terrible maxim as this is clearly a wise investment.

Serra knocking out GSP at about +1100 back when MMA bookies didn't know what the gently caress got me loving paid in a big way.

In non-plastic belt betting news, Michael Johnson is +190 despite the very real fact that Shane Roller's striking is putrid and his MMA wrestling isn't developed yet. Do the smart thing and bet all your money on Johnson.

Yeah. I was thinking the same.

The guys I'm running with tomorrow:

Demian Maia +120
George Roop +100 (homer bet)
Michael "the Count" Johnson +190

and then a few parlays with Chael Sonnen and Rashad Evans + other dudes because if either Chael or Rashad lose I will enjoy the fallout, especially if Bisping somehow earns a title shot. That is worth losing a few dollars.

Me too, but the line has been moving to where Roop is finally the favorite (-115 to -110). Roop is by no means a lock, but like Duncan said he's quietly become a pretty decent fighter.

Maia hosed up my parlay. I picked him because I expected Weidman to look like poo poo in the late rounds after cutting 32lbs in 11 days. Serves me right to root for a Brazilian.

The most valuable line I see right now is in Meisha Tate @ +240 vs Rhonda Rousey @ -300. Rousey has had about 5 minutes total in the cage and Tate is a pretty good overall fighter with more MMA experience. What are your guys' thoughts?

But Rousey knows JUDO!

That actually seems like a pretty good underdog bet.

Yeah Ronda does Judo, Meisha is a wrestler. When has that ever worked out for the Judoka? Yeah, never (probably a couple times yeah okay but no)

I don't know much, but if this Axe Murderer guy gets to use his axe in the octagon then I don't see how he's an underdog.

Both fighters are full of holes, and neither has faced really tough competition. Those aren't terrible odds on what should be a pick 'em fight.

Anyone else like Big Country at +120 against Werdum? Seems like a wash on the ground and Werdum's reckless striking could get him in trouble against the more powerful puncher.

Nelson only really has the edge in KO power. Werdum is better at everything else imo. Even if Nelson does land something, Werdum is hard as poo poo to finish. I think he will take the decision.

theyre both pretty fearless and Nelson's standup isn't good enough to make Werdum shoot endlessly. it might be a sloppy fight but it probably won't be boring

Wedding will offer side control and Roy will knock him out with a belly flop.

I am trying to avoid any bets until Edgar but Roy as a slight dog is tempting.
