This is the real fashion of Fedor

Fedor looks out of place in anything but short shorts and chesthair.

He also doesn’t know what to do with his hands (like Ricky Bobby) unless he’s fighting/wrestling a man/bear.

I think Oliviera might be worth a 20-25 dollar flier, too. Those odds are huge.

Is anyone surprised that Mousasi is the favorite to win against Babalu? Mousasi is good for sure, but Babalu is no pushover.

I know Fedor is, well…Fedor. But +360 on Barnett??? That is very tempting.

I was thinking a bit of the same, as a flier, before I saw Oliviera’s line.

Santiago, Babalu, Vazquez are decent dogs.

A guy making his debut at a new weight class versus a legit top 10 opponent? I don’t see why Mousasi is the favourite either
by StevenGiles on Jul 16, 2009 10:31 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Babalu doesn’t cut much/any weight, so fighting at 205 isn’t really going to hurt Gegard at all here.

Plus this fight is two weightclasses below Mousasi’s previous fight and he did just fine.

A 12 fight win streak, a Grand Prix victory, and a Dream Title?
And an easy win against a former top 10 HW albeit an aging one

Plus starching a former K-1 Champ in a K-1 match.

He was until all the early money came in on Gegard. I also think that’s the smart money.

Ordering the stream online from a Russian website will likely cost you more than 7 bucks.

What about Chase Gormle as a value dog? what do you think?

In this day and age...
You have failed as a matchmaker if there is a wider favorite on your card than Fedor Emelianenko.
The ULTIMATE ultimate proving ground.

Mousasi
Please, keep putting money on Babalu and drive that line even!!
Mousasi, in my opinion, is in the same class as Fedor and GSP in terms of domination at 185. Granted, this is at 205 against a very dangerous opponent but Mousasi already (in my opinion) as dominating a fighter this sport has. Go back and look at who he had to fight for his middleweight run through the Dream tournament. He faced tougher fights than anyone else in that tourney.
I really do see Mousasi in the same light as Fedor (in many ways both good and bad.) Would love to see him in the UFC at some point but again, he shares management with Fedor so that may never happen.
Anwyays, if I’m going to pick a dog I may jump Paul Daley or Raffaelo Oliveira

Yeah, he really dominated Jacare, I mean Jacare was never in that fight…oh wait.

The lines should be a lot closer...
Babalu, Santiago, Buentello, and Lauzon have my money.
by HonorableJudgeIto on Jul 16, 2009 11:12 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Cha-ching?
Daley, Lauzon, Javier, and Santiabo are all great underdogs, if you ask me.
by Jaydoggydog on Jul 16, 2009 11:53 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hieron is a terrible matchup for Daley.
by George Lucas on Jul 16, 2009 5:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lauzon’s a good bet to me. Santiago, not so much.

I think a lot of you pumping Babalu should really reconsider. Jumping on the opposite side of HEAVY movement (Gegard opened at +160) isn’t typically the best way to make money in sports betting.

Moosassy only opened at +160 on one site. Every other site opened him as a small favorite, in the -140 range.

by Beer Monster on Jul 16, 2009 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because all the other sites opened the line after the Bookmaker line had moved.

Particularly since Babalu hasn’t looked very good in his last few fights.
by George Lucas on Jul 16, 2009 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m thinking Babalu takes this one.

This is a damn good lineup. Actually, I don’t really think Barnett has anything for Fedor, but some of the other matches are more interesting.

Buentello v. Yvel
Somebody is going to get knocked the hell out.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.

Vitor and Gegard should be pretty safe.
