Hermes Franca is the best dog on that card, in my opinion.

mix and match:beerbang: 20 parlays so far and counting:beerbang: all i need is one big one to hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! throw some combos at me yukon:glass:

[yukoncornelius]

Yeah, its crazy how so many fighters are getting busted, apparently in California. The ironic thing is most that test positive, are losing haha...

I'd also like to note - I'd stay away from picking Florian in a parlay where you got alot of money. I don't know if I just don't like Kenny or what, but after hearing the interview with his opponent, Alvin Robinson, alvin seems veryyy confident. Looks like a physically stronger guy as well. Alvin is 8-1 with almost all his wins coming from submission in the 1st round. He probably takes people down, uses his strength to get good position and gets the tap out. The thing about this matchup with Kenny is that when 2 bjj guys go at it, normally the stronger one will win a decision. That said, Alvin appears to be a decent bet in a parlay with dogs.

Bocek and Edgar both sounded confident in their interview, that fight is gonna be so badass, I hope they show it.

Marquardt and Hermes both need to come out very aggressive and push the pace. Marquardt is a hard bet in that sometimes it just seems like he doesn't execute. He definitely has the skills to beat Anderson, but he better not be an idiot and try to stand. I don't care how heavy he thinks his hands are, Anderson will kill him lure him in and KNEE him the **** out lol. Greg Jackon better get on Nate's ass about the right game plan.

Yukon-
Did you see that crap about Baroni testing positive for two different steroids? He's out for a year, WTF?? You know Shamrock will be talking all kinds of SH&T now...:bang: :bang:

[yukoncornelius]

Gurgel is the cornerman for Rich Franklin, and Rich learns bjj from Jorge.

Bocek is a black belt in bjj, and got it from one of the best schools around. If theres one thing to counter Frank's strong wrestling, its bjj.

I wouldn't say Lytle looked like crap... hes well rounded and is a tough guy. He'll win NO DOUBT about it. *that fight is a lock

[EddieP]

yukon i agree with most of your picks,,the first 6 look solid!!!!!!! who is this bocek??? edgar went toe to toe with tyson and how he didnt tap in the third round is beyond me,, the dude s leg was just about broken.........lyttle might be good,,he looked like crap against hughes thats what people remember.who the hell is gargoyle?? i mean gurgel??? need to depo again and hope i can hit something big!!!!!!!!!:beerbang:

[No1mikefan]

Yea, you really cant beat TRUE BJJ! Its incredible! Like I said, this one is too hard for me to pick, if your money is on Hermes, Ill be rooting for you! Its going to be one hell of a fight, one hell of a card! I cant wait for the weigh-ins!

[yukoncornelius]

All very good points no1mikefan...

I always live by the fact that good technique can and should always beat athleticism. Sean is very strong, and hes very hard to armbar, but Hermes is going to be looking for everything - arm and leg triangles, omaplatas, rear naked choke, etc. Looping punches are the type that will catch sherk because you really don't see them coming. I still think the value is with Hermes at +200. Jiu Jitsu for life :)

I really just can't wait to watch this event, it is gonna be ****in awesome.

Yukon-
Ive been thinking about that hermes/Sherk fight? I agree that hermes best bet is to try a submission, the thing is, if he gets Sean in a arm bar for example, I have to think that Sherk is just too damn strong? Im not sure hermes can land any of those crazy looping punches... Sherk is good at keeping himself compact, hands up, chin down. If hermes pulls that fight from his back crap he should get pounded out. This fight is getting harder to figure, and like you said after seeing the Sherk special last night, how do you go against him? The guys is a training freak! Does he even have a neck that hermes could put a guillotine on?? A triangle or such would be his best bet IMO. It just seems like Sherk is a little ball of dynamite that would explode if you tried to submitt him? This fight is all yours guys, I cant call it.....:nuts:

WAR TITO!!! Lol, had to throw that in!

[yukoncornelius]

This is a hard card to parlay, but potential for a huge parlay payout.

Heres the money maker parlay for you...

Marquardt
Franca
Rashad
Nog (altho herring at +500 is insane)
Florian
Bonnar
Gurgel
Bocek (based on value)
Lytle


I don't know much about Florian's opponent but hes good on the ground. Gurgel's opponent is also very good at bjj... so thats gonna be a grappling battle. Bocek is sick at bjj, but Frank Edgar has shown to be a beast, I think Frankie will win, but bocek's bjj skills at +200 is worth it in a big parlay.

I've been swaying with Nate Marquardt... I have a feeling hes going to want to stand and bang with Silva, in which case he will get KTFO. Hopefully Nate sticks to a game plan, takes Anderson down, and does GNP from the top. Anderson does NOT look good from the bottom.

War Rashad.

I truly think Hermes is gonna pull off some sick BJJ. How do you counter a crazy wrestler with GnP? The answer is slick jiu jitsu. Hermes has it, its just a matter of executing. Sherk is veryyy game though, so he can definitely win. I'd maek another parlay with this flipflopped.

Nog/Herring THey fought twice in Pride, Nog winning both, and one ending in badass anaconda choke. That said, Herring could throw some of those crazy punches and catch Nog, although his chin is like iron so I doubt that happens. Go with Big Nog.... as the trilogy of Pride HW's begins to take over UFC (fedor, crocop, big nog, game over).

[EddieP]

on a side note some of these matchups are different........also this is the earliest ive ever seen a full ufc card posted.......wont put any bets in just yet, put your thinking cap on yukon:beerbang:
