UFC & Affliction Lines for Prelim Fights

by Mike Fagan on Jul 17, 2008 2:03 PM EDT

Bookmaker just released lines for the prelim fights on Saturday's card. I won't be doing writeups for these, but I thought people would like to know about them.

Justin Levens -240 vs. Ray Lazama +190
Mark Hominick -165 vs. Savant Young +135
Andrei Arlovski -275 vs. Ben Rothwell +215
Terry Martin +265 vs. Vitor Belfort -325
J.J. Ambrose +245 vs. Mike Pyle -305
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira -600 vs. Edwin Dewees +450

Brad Blackburn -160 vs. James Giboo +130
Dale Hartt +135 vs. Shannon Gugerty -165
C.B. Dollaway -170 vs. Jesse Taylor +140
Johnny Rees -115 vs. Nate Loughran -115
Cale Yarbrough +300 vs. Tim Credeur -370

I'm maxed out on Bookmaker at the moment, so I won't personally be partaking in any of these. Two lines kind of jumped out at me though. Terry Martin at +265 and Minotoro at -600. I don't see any way Dewees wins this fight being a middleweight and taking this fight on short notice. No reason to be afraid of Sokoudjou II here.

Martin...

...is a bit of a no brainer.

Savant Young.

To a lesser extent, Jesse Taylor.

Just wanted to note that Nogueira has already been bet down to -725 on Bookmaker and apparently has been bet down to -800 (from -425, wtf!) on 5dimes.

Anyone betting on DeWees for the fun of it?

I might throw a buck on Dewees, that’s $1, not $100. Other than that, I like Taylor and Savant Young at the listed odds.

Trump and Affliction...

I think this is off topic but I’m new here so don’t call me an idiot just tell me what I need to do next time.

Just wondering if anyone caught Trump’s comments about the Affliction show on Howard Stern. I saw this quote and wondered if someone could verify he actually said this crazy stuff.

Trump stated that Tim Sylvia is 100 lbs. bigger than Fedor , who according to the billionaire is, “inflicting death on people.” He also said he likes MMA because of the fights’ gruesome potential: “I just get tired of boxing. This way somebody dies. It’s terrible. It’s like the gladiators. It’s not like how are the judges voting? Somebody just succumbs.”

That is supposedly some of what Trump said on Howard Stern can someone tell me if he really said that?

I know on ESPN he said the show sold out quickly and I believe there is a couple thousand tickets left at least.
