I was originally going to put in Lesnar in my parlay
Now I have second thoughts.
Instead it will be Sotiropoulos, Schaub, and Harris.

It's as big as Rogan's head too.
Perspective plays a big role in that picture.
I'm a lover not a fighter
I will side with Carwin
Lesnar is a beast but the “what if” factor for Carwin is so high that I have to side with him. Cause if he lands those cinderblock hands on your face, its over johnny. We saw Brock get semi-dazed with a knee from Mir, so image what his fists can do.
Based on personality I definitely want Carwin to win
But ring rust or not this is still BROCKLESNAR and he’s such a menacing guy.

With Sexyama out
This card is real, real thin outside of the main event. Still, Lesnar-Carwin is too big to miss.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Wand that is
I blame jet lag

Even with Wand in it was not that great of a card top to bottom.
I mean Lytle vs. Brown on the main card? lol
Is Akyama not fighting?

Your crazy this card is stacked with good fights.

To each his own. I’ve seen enough Bonnar fights to last me forever, Sexyama v. tired Leben seems like a mismatch, and I don’t know what Lytle v. Brown is supposed to settle (though I agree it should be a fun fight).
Of all the fights outside of the main event, Pellegrino v. Sotiropoulos is the only one that I find really compelling based on matchup and divisional relevance.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Yeah I feel ya, I'm a big Bonnar fan myself and I was pissed how the last fight ended.
I wouldn’t coun’t Leben out either, If Akiyama want’s a fight like he gave Belcher he will get knocked out. And I don’t know if he has the ability to control Leben for three rounds.

Honestly, it's totally academic...
cause I’m sure as hell not going to miss Lesnar-Carwin.

What's really crazy is if Leben wins do you think UFC will be talking title shot?

So that Silva could violently knock him out again? No way.

if leben wins he should fight wandy when he comes back
also would like to see leben/nate. I think Leben would get torn up but that would be a nice step-up after 3 consecutive wins. I mean…this is of course assuming he beats akiyama, which will be quite hard to do

Maybe my memory is foggy and this happened on TUF
But I’ve wanted to see Quarry vs. Leben for at least 3 years now.

I'm taking it easy on this card no parlays
And no big bets on underdogs. I don’t like Schaub as a pick either, I don’t think he’s gonna walk through Chris. I put a small bet on Branch but that’s about as crazy as i’m gonna get on this card.
Ride the Tiger!
by doonerthesooner on Jun 29, 2010 5:10 PM EDT reply actions
I think so too.. I’m still picking Schaub for the win, I think he’ll manage to keep it standing up long enough to score a KO/TKO, but the betting odds seem a bit off. As you said Tuchscherer does have wrestling..

I'm going with the bet against strategy
Petruzelli and Petz should lose to most UFC level fighters.
" Tell me something Steve, How does a guy from Puerto Rico loose a ball in the Sun? "
Yeah, I'm on the fence on Pellegrino.
I know it’s not always the best way yo look at it but I really doubt that Kurt could manhandle Joe Daddy like Soterwhatshisface.

oh wow thats cool... i wonder how it effects them
Its tough to hear a training partner loses, then try to fight
Anyone else got Madsen?
Solid bet I think, part of my parlay by a grinder
I apologize for my never-ending assault on the English Language. I feel like Qui the promoter from Jade Empire...
I’m also thinking Vemola has this one. Could be wrong, but Madsen is far from a solid bet.

Awhile ago someone had posted a link to a really nice pdf UFC pool sheet.
Anyone know where to get a hold of those? I would love to pass them out at the house this saturday.
Im going for a Lesnar/Akiyama/Reljic parlay.
Kendall is going to get his shit handed to him.

I think you are stepping on your dick picking against Leben

" stepping on your dick"
Awesome, and I agree Leben could very well knock Akiyama out. Also the fact that he’s paying almost 2 to 1 doesn’t hurt.

He's paying 2 to 1 in real life I mean.

If I lived a life where I even had the slightest concern about ever possibly stepping on my dick, I would never be frequenting this place and hanging out with you guys.

At those odds for Leben
You definitely arent getting value. Even if you think he’s going to win, theres reasons why hes close to +200 elsewhere.
Look at that picture..
Shane Carwins hands are twice as big as Brock’s and Brock’s are twice as big as your average heavyweight. My $$ is on Sharwin.
Depth perception
Carwin is closer to the camera, so thats why his hands seem so much bigger. If you took a picture with Bj Penn and Anderson Silva, but had Bj closer to the camera than anderson… they’d look to be the same size.
With news of George’s weight cut, and seeing him at weigh-ins looking like an extra from the set of dawn of the dead…I put a heavy play on Kurt, who was at +250. Also incorporated him into my parlay…hopefully this is the event I can make some bank on and start mattering. lol
From all reports she (Cyborg) pretty much only spars men, and has been known to put some out during training. - Rudinho479

My thoughts exactly. I’m going to have like 200 dollars left to play with now.
