Rory Singer +150
Jason MacDonald -180


Clay Guida +140
Tyson Griffin -170

Marcus Davis -370


Colin Robinson +160

Scott Smith +140
Ed Herman -170


Stevie Lynch +190
Dustin Hazelett -240



Interesting lines in my opinion. The favorites should be bigger in a couple of cases. That said, if you can parlay the entire card, I REALLY think you got a legit shot at cashing in. :sm:

Here are my picks ...

Franklin (although Okami is a serious opponent, make 2 parlays with both winning)
Forrest Griffin
Jason Macdonald
Tyson Griffin
Marcus Davis
Eddie Sanchez
Scott Smith
Dustin Hazelett


Thoughts - I DO NOT see forrest or jason losing. Tyson is facing clay guida which is definitely a game opponent, but man griffin is a man beast for his size. Marcus Davis is fighting in front of his heritage... should come away with a win no prob. Eddie Sanchez fighting a guy with decent record but primarily has fought poor competition. Scott Smith is the pup pick.. Ed Herman overhypes himself and hasn't been impressive lately, he seems to move quite slow too. Scott Smith on the otherhand throws HEAVY hands, and is a good enoguh wrestler to stay out of danger. However, Ed could pull out a sub, so you never know. Dustin Hazelett should get the win as well due to his bjj.



As far as straight up picks...

Forrest -250
Tyson -170
Jason MacDonald -180
Smith +140 (value pick)
Okami +150 (value pick)


Good luck to anyone that gets in the action, unfortunately its somewhat of a downer event, but oh well.

thanks mike,, sometimes your the windshield sometimes your the bug,,,,,, this weekend im the bug for sure..........gez i hope 73 treats me better..........:blackeye:

[No1mikefan]

Yea, I was SCREAMING at the t.v. B.J. had several opportunities for that choke and he was letting him go? But its like Jens said, "He didnt want to submitt me, he wanted to beat the hell out of me". It did seem like B.J. was having his way with him and was trying to drag out the whoopin! Did you see when Jens tapped, B.J. held that choke, I didnt think he was going to let go.....LOL!! Its all good! Glad you got something retuning EddieP!!

[EddieP]

well managed to hit one small parlay,,still lost money,,just not as bad.......penn should have had him in the first round.........a little to close for comfort but bj gets the win:beerbang:

[No1mikefan]

Dont worry guys, I dont see B.J. gassing in this one. He looks like he is in Great shape! He has a new strength and conditioning coach. He looks ready to go and I think he gets the job done!! Anyting can happen but I just think B.J. wants this more, he is right, Jens has been living off his win and its time for that crap to end. Lets go BJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 more minutes, yea buddy, Im pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beerbang:

Good luck guys!!!

[EddieP]

castillo looked like ****..........i had him on a few my self,,but they were already dead...i did have hatton on one or two as well......another ******* disaster it looks like:bang: one parlay alive,,i need penn to win.........wouldnt surprise me if pulver wins in some insane manner.......****

[yukoncornelius]

****in Castillo killed my parlay :(

Can't believe Hatton took him out with that body shot.

[EddieP]

hope bj gets it done....... his only trouble is he tends to gas,other than that he is one of the best in his class........ two no contest bouts,,gez that last one was weird for sure.......

[yukoncornelius]

will the no contest kill the entire bet???

Nope, that just gets dropped from the parlay, you're still good!

Penn will beat Pulver.

[Leafs3113]

itll probobly be a push like in other sports and just lower the total

[EddieP]

will the no contest kill the entire bet???

[EddieP]

and this one

lost

[EddieP]

have this one still alive

won removed for jinx purposes

[Leafs3113]

dogs gonna have to take one sometime. Picked Diaz and am leaning towards Pulver also.

Yukon who u like Penn or Pulver

[yukoncornelius]

SUre you can win money on parlaying favorites... its just not like having dogs. But in this case, favorites were by far the safe bet. Better to win a little than win nothing.


Diaz and Manny is a toss up. I want Nate to win, he needs to control the fight on the feet with his better technical striking and big reach advtanage. If it goes to the ground, he can't be content to stay in Manny's guard becuase he'll eat alot of damage (manny is stronger physically).


If you were talking about the next fighting meaning Thales Leites vs Floyd Sword, look for Thales to really bring it.
