Jardine to beat Vera on Saturday - 6/4

not sure it will be that easy tho

Jardine, blows hot and cold at times (Houston Alexander / Chuck Liddell)

Vera just stepped down a weight class, and looks much leaner, faster and sharper

I think its a 50/50 fight, so ill be backing the value at 6/4

Vera was very unimpressive in his first fight at LHW, so definate value in Jardine here.

Apparently Vera is walking around at fighting weight and wont need to cut so he will be stronger going into the fight.  I hear he has been preparing slightly better than Jardine too, has been in the UK for over a eek, Jardine flew in last minute.

went with the value as i said, and lumped on Jardine, @ 2.58, with betfair

I was really struggling to call it, even as the fighter stood awaiting the duges score card, i wouldn't have complained with Vera won it TBH

.....But the Dean of Mean did me a turn in the end and i scooped the Money!

was a tough call..i thought Vera had nicked it but it was certainly close.

thought Bisping approached his fight with a predetermined game plan and executed it well....a very very good win.

Spot on Booder....

I was at UFC 85 in London with my cousin, and witnessed first hand the way he usually fights in England with the crowd etc. He was just a total manaic, with little game plan except destroy as quick and possble!

However this time, he stayed away from Leben as much as possible, and picked his spots, i wondered how Leben would react to this as all the hype suggested he's changed, he's a lot calmer and suggests this wouldn't frustrate him....however i think by the end of the 2nd round it was plain to see Leben was losing his nerve and patience. Kust looking at the two fighters at the end it was plain to see who the victor was.


.......Still think Bisping is in the UFC at the right time tho, he clearly had his ass kicked my Matt Hammell, and the judges threw the decision in favour of the Token British Golden Boy. The UFC is already massive in the States, needing little further promotion other than what is already in place, however, its plain to see that Dana and the Fertitta Brothers are desperate to push the UFC oversea's. This is even more evident in the up coming Ultimate Fighter series, where they are deviding the teams into 'Team USA v Team UK'

The wheels would defo have come flying of the UK Promotional Wagon, if the Golden Boy Bisping had lost before he had even started his rise up the rankings, Hence the Matt hamell Decision!




........I do like the guy tho, Very Likeable and Funny dude (Watch the Bravo documentary on Bisping, from when he won T.U.F.)

As for UFC90:
Cant really find value in any of the bouts (Not looked at the pre bouts, as i like to watch my bets)

1/ Silva v Cote: Silva should easy destroy Cote, and priced @ 1.16 is a fair refection, although not good enough for my level of stakes

2/ Alves v Koscheck: Alves should just edge this on with Koscheck, but will be a tough test for him, odds of 1.78 are slightly too short for me, id be looking for 1.9-2.0 for him, might bet him, if he creeps up to around 1.85

3/ Clementi v Maynard: We haven't seen much of Maynard, but what we did see is he was one of the strongest in the house to win the contract, and is still as yet, undefeated. Clementi has a tonne of experience, however has lost 12 fights in his career and is older than Maynard.......ill take Maynard with Age on his side, however @ 1.37, is not good enough!

4/ Fabricio Werdum Vs. Junior Dos Santos: Don't know anything about os Santos, but do know Werdum, is a good solid Heavywieght with good experience, and some good victories over top fighters...... fancy Werdum in this one but @ 1.15, is shocking price, considering i know nothing about Dos Santos

5/ Sean Sherk Vs. Tyson Griffin: Just as the Main event, this is a no context for me. Sean Sherk will rip Griffin apart! Priced at 1.5, this is probably the best valued fight on the card, won't be putting my Money on it tho



Wont be backing anything in this card TBH, i think you need to be willing to place £100+ to see a half decent return for your money

totally agree but that decision compensates for the loss he suffered against Evans when he clearly won

True mate, could be that was Bisping tasting the other edge of the UFC Promotional sword, with regards Evens rise to title shot?

As Dana always says, 'Never leave it to the judges Dana and the Fretitta Bothers'

You Decide ??
