There was a period for a while there where GSP couldn't do his flip, and honestly, some people thought he never would again.

i dont disagree but remember that he suffered another ACL tear (on his other knee) shortly after retiring

drat i'd forgotten about that. still if he was 80% after his first surgery, and 60% now, then yeah bisping could conceivably beat that gsp.

Is GSP today a better wrestler than roided up chael? Is GSP as powerful a striker as Dan Henderson or Anderson Silva?

I don't know that the answer to either of those is yes, and in fact, I'd say it's really no to both. GSP was never huge at 170 anyways and he is going to be a lot smaller than Bisping. I can't think of a single area that GSP clearly outclasses any of Bisping's toughest opponents. Bisping is going to clown him.

He's better at blending his wrestling with his striking better than any of those dudes. If GSP is going to win it'll be with his timing takedowns off of his and/or Bisping's strikes. There's probably nobody as good at that aspect than maybe Mighty Mouse.

GSP won't gas like Chael and also has a much more explosive and dynamic shot than Chael.

i don't know why you expect striking power to play a role in the contest between gsp and michael bisping but you may want to reconsider that.

yeah.

he hit a takedown on hendricks in the first round of their fight that was pretty as gently caress. and that's a 'depleted' gsp. his timing is so good that seeing gsp actually fail a takedown is something to note. when he commits, it's usually finished. in a straight up freestyle wrestling match with chael, chael. in mma though, it's gsp by a significant distance.

So does anyone think the line will move in GSP's favor? I want to bet 5k on Bisping at+115 but if that line moves I might miss out on some good underdog betting. Think I should bet it now or wait? I shut down a 5/10 home game last night after i rivered a straight flush on Omaha and busted 4 people so now I have money burning a hole in my pocket.

i'd be surprised if the lines moved at all from where they are because in my eyes it's spot on, and i'm not sure how big a gambling country canada is but i'd honestly be surprised if the line did move and it didn't favor gsp.

i'm sure i don't need to tell you that you absolutely should not listen to me on this subject, but if i were you i'd bet now and if his odds get significantly better put another bet on him closer to the fight.

I don't think the line is gonna move too much. You might see 10 cents but it's not gonna go to +150.

Last I checked, with odds, Bisping is the most profitable person to bet on in the past ten years in MMA.

Followed by Conor and GSP.

I think ole' Anderson is still ten.

I got $100 on a Bisping/Joanna parley at +165. I would have thought Joanna would have been in the order of Mighty Mouse against Ray Bort (MM is a -1250 favourite) but she's only -400. Weird to me because I think Thug Rose has even less for Joanna than Kowalkiewicz had at 205, and that was around the odds they gave for her then.

Here is what I have for tonight so far I might add more based on college football Saturday. I have been killing it with the O/U's in the baseball playoffs so I am gonna bet more than usual. Update that spreadsheet weird dude.

5k on Derrick Lewis @ +190

2k on DJ to win by KO, TKO or DQ @ +220

2k on Tony Ferguson to win by submission @ +290

10k on Tony ferguson @ -270

1k parlay on Lewis, DJ and Ferguson that pays like 3k.

yeah werdum's defense is nowhere near as good as his offense and i can see lewis sleeping him.

dariush, mm, lewis and cucuy parlay for 50 is the only thing i'm on with maybe some spot bets throughout the night.

moraga is way too big of an underdog though he should lose i'll probably get on that. i think bobby green could give vannata some interesting looks. duquesnoy is going to lose soon though i don't know if tonight's the night.

this card is really sick.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

The heavyweight fight shuffle erased like all of my bets after the early prelims (I had bets on Lewis and Harris in their original fights by TKO/KO/DQ), but I'm still in on Mighty Mouse finishing Borg in the third round at +600.

He had a back problem or something that made him pull out right before the early prelims.

Yeah a few hours before the event he pulled out, his old back injury was aggravated.

don't know who the guy fighting face shoe on the undercard is but he's a massive underdog and face shoe isn't that good.

i'll be spacing out my money on maia, machida, and miller. all are underdogs and i think there's value there.

I agree that Maia and Machida look interesting. Covington may try to wrestle Maia and get subbed and Brunson looked like poo poo against the ghost of Silva.

Also, Brazilian judges.

I have some money on Maia as well. I just don't see Covington doing anything other than being a wrestler and that seems like suicide vs Maia.

trinaldo has looked pretty good in his last few fights and miller is getting old but he's still tough as gently caress and worth it at 3 to 1 imo, but he'll probably lose.
