****, was typing alot and didn't say "earlier". Crane's standup is pathetic, his only asset is bjj... Huerta should've stomped a hole in him. Crane was so gassed from what I remember, I could not believe that Roger didn't annihilate him earlier in the fight. Garcia likes to mix it up, but again Huerta shouldve beat him int he first or second round, instead it went to a decision and both looked sloppy as ****. Cole Miller, who was an ultimate fighter contestant put a f'ing clinic on Garcia... and thats AFTER garcia had been training with Greg Jackson. Alot of people liked that fight, those people shoudl go to a bar and watch a brawl...
My point is, the competition Huerta has not even beat decisively, I have this gut feeling that Guida would've clearly gotten the job done. Like I said Guida's level of competition has been insane compared to Huerta (the spoon fed UFC poster boy) and it started with Josh Thomson, where he was able to completely outwork him for 5 rounds and capture the strikeforce belt.

huerta did stop crane if my memory is right.... that was the fight in which crane had his back and roger used the monitor to throw wicked elbows to cranes head.. that didnt go to the score cards roger stopped him in the third round.... its a tosss up for me as i like both clay and roger,, both are classy guys............ and garcia is no pushover either, dudes face looked like hamburger when roger got done with him......... clay and roger should be a great fight.......Leave a comment:

Ultimate Fight Night 12/8
Clay Guida -135 (haven't put it down yet cause I'm hoping for this line to further drop)
10 units
I'm very confident in Clay Guida, this is gonna be a close fight but I don't see Guida losing. As soon as this fight was announced, I immediately was leaning towards Guida. Standing, Guida's striking has improved, and huerta's is nothing to cheer about, in fact its very sloppy. Huerta's game in general is pretty loose, but he has a goood gas tank. Guida is tough as nails and will push the pace tremendously. Huerta thinks his wrestling is just as good, I don't think so, I think Guida will be able to handle him on the ground. BJJ really won't be a factor. Huerta has not fought the same competition... this is his first fight where the UFC has not handed him an opponent. Huerta's past fights are situations where he definitely should've finished his opponent. How in the hell he didn't sotp alberto crane, is beyond me. He was also in slopfest of the year with leonard garcia, that shouldn't have gone to the judges. Guida has only lost in the ufc against people which are either better at striking than him (din thomas), or slick as hell on the ground (tyson griffin). Huerta is neither. Both fighters have trained very hard, but I feel Guida is hungrier, and more confident... and he should be.
parlay #1 - 2 units to win 8
Goulet (should ko paul, but goulet is very susceptible to subs, hoping he doesnt get caught here)
Danzig (this one I'm somewhat worried about after placing the bet because of the size advantage Tommy will have. That said, Danzig has superior technique both standing and on the ground. I think Mac will sub him).
Saunders (rematch of a fight on the show, Saunders is much taller, and trains with a great team, ATT).
George (should not lose here).
Arroyo (John is tough but Matt is much more well rounded and should be able to sub him if it goes to the ground).
Yukon is nuts parlay #2 - 1.5 units to win 31
Guida
Jon Koppenhaver (bigger and stronger than j-roc, if he fights intelligently he will win, and at EV odds, hes a very good value)
Danzig
Saunders
George
Hightower (more well rounded than Troy who didn't show me much while on the show. Richie is also a stronger puncher).
Arroyo
Best of luck to all, Saturday is gonna be awesome. Guida and Huerta should be an awesome fight! I'm looking forward to Hatton/Mayweahter most though :beerbang:
