General Fighting thread

[scotty2hatty]

Had Leben at 11/4 last weekend and since Akiyama likes to bang we could get a bit of value about him again.

[stupidrubbish]

hey, just noticed this thread, i've been a fan of MMA since 2002 (when UFC first came to England), it's my favourite sport.

Anyway, i don't bet much money myself, but i've had a good run on picking winners, here's my picks for UFC 116 - hopefully/maybe someone can make a few bob on it:

Lesnar V Carwin: Lesnar  - 1.71
Leben V Akiyama: Leben - 2.54
Lytle V Brown: Brown - 2.24
Soszynski V Bonnar: Bonnar - 2.74
Sotiropoulos V Pellegrino: Pellegrino - 2.22
Schaub V Tuchscherer: Schaub - 1.3
Petruzelli V Romero: Petruzelli - No Market Depth
Grove V Relljc: Reljic - 1.55
Harris V Branch: Harris - No Market Depth
Roberts V Petz: Roberts - No Market Depth
Madsen V Vemola: Vemola - No Market Depth

I haven't checked any odds, I don't supposed i've picked all the favourites.

I hope you can make some use of this

You've gone for 4 out of 5 outsiders in the main fight card, see the prices ive posted in your quote box

wow, interesting, now i'm doubting myself!

my theory on Leben was him pulling out an upset (as an underdog), but i don't personally have him as an underdog.

Lytle is really the favourite? he hasn't won 3 in a row since 2004, fighting 17 times since then. Lytle has beaten Brown before, but Brown is so vastly improved since then, whereas Lytle never really shows any improvement fight by fight.

Bonnar/Soszynski is a toss up. Just went with my gut (and maybe the fighter i prefer to watch)

Pellegrino is showing such great improvement lately, he's on a hot streak and i can't see that Sotiripolous will be able to execute his ground game against him.

EDIT: As i've found over the last couple of years, betting on main events is rarely worth it. Either because its a toss up, or because the favourite is so huge there's no value in winning. This fight is the former, a toss up. Lesnar is always the underdog in MMA (according to fans/critics) so i'm backing him this time.

guess we'll see

I like the bets on Bonnar and Leben too.

Sigh.

[stupidrubbish]

isnt lesnar a wrestler?

yes, he was an amateur DIV 1 champion wrestler (which i believe is the highest accolade in American Wrestling). Then he did some pro wrestling (WWE), now he's using his amateur wrestling background and translating it into MMA.

love him or hate him, you can't deny the size of the man, nor the fact that he seems to be one of those people who excel at everything he tries. (although he did fail to get into a NFL team after he left WWE, but set the club record for fastest 0-60mtr sprint in the process)

ha ha ha how sick is that, ref bottles it to stop it in the first round when Carwin threw about 50 unanswered punches, yet the ref just stood there waiting for the bell.

Oh well, double landed, £41 back ain't too bad. Better than yesterday's world cup bets!

3 out of the 5 main card fights

if you bet even stakes and with a 2.54 and 2.74, you'd be very happy mate.

Nice punting.


If I were you tho I wouldn't have bet every fight, just stick to the one's you thing you have an edge in. I took 3 that I felt I had Value in, and scooped a 100% profit, a better ref it would have been nearly 1000%, but hey go with what you feel mate.

that was redic lesner was getting pwned
he got hit so many times , at times not even reacting

2nd round they dance alot then lesner gets him in a hold game over
