well i like edgar and evans should destroy bisping....... the other two fights hmmmmmmm tough to go against houston and chonan plus 255??? lets go guys its not that far off

[yukoncornelius]

Between Strikeforce friday night, and UFC saturday... I have a pretty big amount of plays lol...

5 parlays, 3 straight up bets so far.

Alistair Overeem EV 3 units He looks gooood at HW, and is a more "dangerous" striker than Paul... hopefully he brings at LEAST a half tank of gas.
Billy Evangelista +185 3 units Nam Phan being the size favorite he is...is stupid, Billy looked good last strikeforce, sheer value play.
Chris Lytle +160 2 unit Lytle is very well rounded, could grind out a victory here against Alves. Value play

Chonan at +255 is kinda nutty, thats worth a bet too.

The 5 parlays range from pretty crazy.. to really crazy LoL, play at your own risk.


Parlay 1 - rashad, houston, karo over 1.5, frankie, jlau, aurelio, evangelista
Parlay 2 - rashad, jlau, aurelio, southworth, cung le, sean salmon
Parlay 3 (the long shot big daddy aka my live dogs mixed with good faves) - Rashad, Chonan, Lauzon, Aurelio, Lytle, Evangelista, Overeem
parlay 4 - rashad, houston, karo, jlau, aurelio, gono, southworth, cung le, salmon
parlay 5 - rashad, frankie, jlau, marcus


As you can see, I will be pissed if Rashad, marcus aurelio or joe lauzon lose.

I have 15 total units at risk.

Yukon is all over those dogs! I havent really decided yet but you know I have to look into those. Damn, those would be some nice payouts huh? Good luck buddy, ill be back with pics. But yea, this is the best MMA weekend since September, should be good guys!

[EddieP]

guys is strike force on the tube tonight??? really want to see cung le that dude is so fuckin bad ass,, i cant see him losing to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yukoncornelius]

I believe its only on ppv... Strikeforce is gonna be pretty sick, especially with the 4 man tournament they got going on tonight.

My .02c on the card tonight...
(odds from Pinnacle)

LightHeavyweights
Rashad Evans vs Michael Bisping
201. Rashad Evans -268
1 unit. Bisping shouldn't have won his last fight and won't win this one.

LightHeavyweights
Houston Alexander vs Thiago Silva
203. Houston Alexander -155
1 unit. Alexander should continue his roll with another knockout.

Lightweights
Joe Lauzon vs Jason Reinhardt
214. Jason Reinhardt +444
1/3 unit. Just a small play with over 4 to 1 odds. Lauzon's been submitted twice in the past 2 years...

Welterweights
Karo Parisyan vs Ryo Chonan
207. Karo Parisyan -299
2 units. Karo is looking to shine in a crowded Welterweight division. Still prolly a decision, though.

Welterweights
Thiago Alves vs Chris Lytle
211. Thiago Alves -190
1 unit. Just don't think Lytle is much of a fighter.

Welterweights
Akihiro Gono vs Tamdan McCrory
218. Tamdan McCrory +184
1 unit. Seems like the best choice for a real upset on the card.

Going to a bar to watch it, so should be a fun night.
Not the biggest names on paper, but there could be a couple of entertaining fights tonight.

So I guess after the Main Event Ortiz will come down and challenge the winner?
Here's hoping for a Jenna Jameson sighting?

Take care,

valen

well he is not cocky anymore, i wonder if he figured out where he is at yet:) i liked houston from the start, but after watching an older video of him quitting in a fight i changed my mind.... silva is a bad ass for sure
