For some reason

I see Dunham clowning Griffin en route to a decision, am I high or do I have a good bet here?

If I’m high can I still say yes?

by Bob Boblaw on Jun 7, 2010 4:23 PM EDT up reply actions

that I can’t possibly know and I’ll say its yes

I don't know Dunham is still kinda of a grinder, and Griffin I think is gonna light him up on the feet.

I have Griffin by UD because his stand up is better and Dunham isn’t gonna control him on the ground. But I’m high so what do I know

I don't think Griffin has the power

nor enough technique to overcome a huge reach disadvantage. Dunham can and will go to his ground game at least… Griffin is too happy puting on those FOTN style performances of striking only (not that he really deserved some of them). I think he gets beat here.

Griffin looked really sharp in the Franca fight, his technique has greatly improved.

And he knocked him the fuck out. I actually like Griffin in this fight, he’s proven, his striking looks better than Dunhams and his wrestling is strong. Also the fact that he doesn’t have a neck and is made completely out of muscle helps him a great deal. Once again I’m not to worried about Dunhams reach because Franca’s wasn’t an issue.

Damn i’m surprised about the Kampmann fight. I thought that would be a lot closer

by av1o3 on Jun 7, 2010 4:21 PM EDT reply actions

Kampmann like to block too many punches with his face and that's how Thiago is gonna beat him.

Ride the Tiger!

by doonerthesooner on Jun 7, 2010 5:18 PM EDT up reply actions

Yes we all know that

But Kampmann is still a beast though. This fight can still go either way.

by Jigger on Jun 7, 2010 5:44 PM EDT up reply actions

But if he can take Thiago down repeatedly, he’ll win, IMO

by Hardcharger on Jun 7, 2010 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions

I don’t think his BJJ is good enough to avoid getting subbed, and I think Thiago has better striking too. Should be an exciting fight though, looking forward to it

"Ten more seconds is all I ever ask. That's the good thing I learned about being KO'd twice. You don't see it coming -it's like death- you don't plan for it so don't wait for it. So many people are afraid of getting Ko'd that their hands stay home, but not me. I got to go out there and shoot the lights out and fall down" Jens Pulver

So is all of mmaplayground starting a new season with UFC 115 or just BE?

by frosnt1 on Jun 7, 2010 5:44 PM EDT reply actions

All mmaplayground.

by Nick Thomas on Jun 7, 2010 5:48 PM EDT up reply actions

I asked for an invitation to BE but didn’t get a response?

by frosnt1 on Jun 8, 2010 10:51 AM EDT up reply actions

How can Rich and Barry be such favourites?

That’s ridiculous.

Cro Cop is gonna destroy this man.
And Chuck, even though he’s washed up, he will probably win too (or at least make it close).

by KOQ24 on Jun 7, 2010 6:21 PM EDT reply actions

New joinee here too.. I’ve never done betting on MMA before, this seems like a good place to start though! Might as well, considering how much time I already spend on MMA themed websites, why not give it a shot. I’ll take a more careful look at the card tomorrow and make my decisions. I’m definitely picking CroCop over Barry though.
