I’ll have money on Sonnen, Alves, Dos Anjos, and possibly Almeida. I’m really, really stoked for this card.

Dennis Hallman gonna wreck ben saunders. Lock of the night i cant believe hes an underdog that is an absolute steal.
Goldberg on Leben: One thing's for sure--he really did break that door on the Ultimate Fighter.
Rogan: uh...yeah.
No he's not. Ben is going to knee him into oblivion.
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.

Then Hallman will accuse him of doing steroids.
My avatar has Bas Rutten and Terry Funk in it...therefore it's the manliest avatar on SB Nation.
Looks like Stefan Struve is fighting Tyson Griffin’s big brother

Odds are a little off
Here’s a link to the UFC 117 odds on Bet US. Fitch is actually (-110), and Guida/dos Anjos is much tighter, at (-120)/(-110).

And if you can get Alves as a +105 dog, that’s a steal.
█♣█

I bet Fitch
But this fight is a toss-up. So if you can get +105 odds on either guy, take it.

Damn, thats some diabolical shit right there!
There's no depth to my shallowness.

Brenneman
is going to win me big money.
What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.

Not a chance.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Wallace probably would've been the favorite against Stanislav
And now Phil Davis will be in my parlay.
Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
Brazil parlay ftw

I wonder if these are must win fights for Strueve and Saunders.
Lesnar Carwin II: Carwin is going to pull that horseshoe out of Lesnar's ass and beat him over the head with it.

Saunders is here to stay for a few more fights
Struve on the other hand pretty much has to win.

This seems like the most appropriate place in these articles to post this off-subject question… But I’ve been to mmaplayground.com numerous times over the last couple months, but today Google Chrome warns me it has malware twice before letting me go. Anyone else notice this, or have any idea why?
I hate Fedor fans. Then again, I hate most people. But especially Fedor fans.
I just tried going there myself, I’m using newest version of Firefox. The front page opens, but when I try to go to the forums or the mailbox (which is part of the forum system, apparently) I get the same warning and it recommends me to not proceed. My layman interpretation is that the rest of the site is OK, it does not warn me when going to “My fantasy picks” or such. If someone more in the know has something to add, please feel free to do so. If you want to play it safe all together I guess you’d stay away from the site until the issue is resolved though.
Here is the explanation from Google on mmaplayground.com, and here is the one for mmaplayground.com/forums (just so you can see the slight difference there)

I’m definitely doing a Hughes and Roy parlay. I guess I can throw Spider in with it too, since I believe the chances of Chael beating him are less than asteroids colliding with Earth in the year 2012 and creating the apocalypse.
I hate Fedor fans. Then again, I hate most people. But especially Fedor fans.
Too bad I don’t bet because i’d love to throw some money down on Sonnen if any betters are smart they’ll be making alot of money at UFC 117.

Fitch ftw
So pumped I got Fitch at +105 at the Bellagio a week or two ago. Way better odds than the current one.
