[Cliff is appearing on Jeopardy]
Alex Trebek: Let’s go to Cliff and get his Final Jeopardy answer. “Who are people who have never been in my kitchen?” I’m sorry, that is wrong.
Cliff: Wait a minute, Alex. I can offer conclusive proof that those three people have never been in my kitchen.

Paulo doesn’t stand much of a chance against an improved Koscheck, I wouldn’t bet on him even if you truly believe he can win, it’s a tough bet to take.

There isn’t one bet that I would feel comfortable with on this card.

Parlay on Bodog
I put 10 down on a Marquart,Maia,Koscheck parlay. Win’s 13.88.
And if you add Kelly Pavlik and Miguel Cotto to the parlay it wins 17.56
Lately the lines have been really tight in the UFC. To make money you either need to
A) Load up on someone closer to an even bet (Rampage over Silva, St. Pierre over Penn, Lesnar over Randy were my last 3 examples)
or
B) Hit some parlays with the prohibitive favorites.

I think I’m liking Stevenson at the current odds…with my fake money, of course.

Grove...
is technically awful. But he does hit hard and is a LOT bigger than Ciesnolevicz. He’ll gas if it goes to the second, but I am probably going to make a small play on Grove here. Ciesnolevicz is the better fighter here from a technical standpoint…but I figured Grove would be a bit of a bigger favorite here and his size and power give him a good chance of finishing in the first round.

by "technically awful"
I mean his technique. That was not a judgment on him as a fighter overall…then again..maybe it was ;)

I think that .gif of Grove shot-putting a punch demonstrates your point nicely. Got the knockout, but geeeeez, I’m stunned he didn’t break his own wrist.

Yeah...
he’s very dangerous in the first few minutes of the fight…then his tank runs empty and it’s “guy in a bar haymakers” the rest of the way.
