Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Fabricio Werdum
Jess Liaudin vs. Marcus Davis
Wilson Gouveia vs. Jason Lambert
Jorge Rivera vs. Kendall Grove

wildout callin the upset on Liaudin v. Davis. Get that bet down, Davis is +275 currently at sportsbook.com hahahaha. Could make yourself a pretty penny if thatupset plays out.

I like Lambert at +125 personally. Gouveia is definitely no walk through and gonna be a tough tough match but to even get slight odds on Lambert is gonna betough to pass up.

i'd honestly put some loot down on liaudin if i knew how all that betting *#%@ worked.

regardless tho, i think this fight is gonna be just as exciting as davis vs taylor. both guys are fun to watch.

I will more than likely be going up to a sports bar to sit with dopes who don't have a clue about MMA because I do not want to spend 40 on this. For somereason, the cards that don't have the biggest names seem to have some of the better fights. The Daddy/BJ fight should be a good one. I really want to seeBJ win but for some reason Daddy always seems to pull out a W. BJ better have trained his butt off because he is in for a war. I think BJ ends it in the 4th.Kendall also needs a win bad or else he is going to be looking like a flop. Jorge might drop him because he has some heavy hands. Kendall needs to bring it tothe ground. I got Werdum winning just because.

Mir was the UFC champ a couple of years ago and very good fighter. However, he destroyed his leg in a motorcycle accident and hasn't been the same.He has struggled his past couple of fights. He is great off of his back and I am anticipating Brock to take it to the ground. Mir did snap Tim Sylvias arm withan armbar to win the title. It seems like they might want Lesnar to beat a name that once was big to try and boost him, but I think Mir will beat Brock.

Thumbs up.

 

[his diabolical majesty]

Yeah, I feel like Mir is too smart of a fighter and can overcome Brock's strength.

 

[presequel]

next UFC seems boring. Penn as headliner?

pass

 

[mojodmonky1]

not to jump too hard on the penn wartrain but he's fun to watch if you enjoy watching a smooth ground game. I have no doubt that someone with zeroexperience like myself would be submitted in 10 seconds from full guard.

If Mir ever shows up as the Frank Mir of old then he should be able to get through Brock. Problem is he's looked like a bum the last few times in the cage.

It seems like no one is picking Werdum except Newbs24 (another bold pick in my opinion). I think that had it not been for that nasty cut that Gabe Gonzaga gotin his fight against Couture, he very well could be holding the HW strap right now. Gonzaga is just a big tough kid who hits hard (not to mention his BJJskills).

 

[presequel]

I sat next to Mir's wife at the Pride event where Henderson won the title.

She has decent funbags.

Penn is a future MMA HOF'er and a top 10 all-around fighter. You seem to have some MMA knowledge, I wouldn't expect an opinion like that fromyou

.

 

[wildout4]

damn 82 is looking horrible asides from silva/henderson.

and 83 got cancelled. whatever that means.

 

[newbs24]

Solid weigh in. You can watch it on ufc.com. BJ looked focused. I hope he is. He is going to get a tough SOB in the cage with him. Jason Lambert make TimSylvia look like Randy Couture. Dude must have weighed 400 lbs with all that loose skin. Props to him for being a decent fighter though.

I think they just change the location.

Michael Bisping vs. Charles McCarthy
Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin
Goran Reljic vs. TBA
Neil Wain vs. TBA

--- oh boy

and +1 for Werdum here since everyone's rooting for Gonzaga. It's the match I wanna see more than BJ and Joe.

 

[4wrestling]

Christ, I get home from the gym at 4, and I already missed three fights.

Oh well, I get to see the two I really care about. Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia sounded good, but the other two matches weren't much of anything

 

[4wrestling]

WOW

Gonzaga lost.

He was looking good in the first round with really stiff leg kicks, but Werdum came back strong in the 2nd round with knees and then he got him on the groundagainst the cage and pounded him out.
