Lets get the discussion started tell me what you think of my plays.

Really liking Penn, I just dont see how Florian could beat him, Penn's bjj is better and so is his stand-up.  I think Penn will win this in the 2nd round.

Could you give some reasoning behind the Almeida pick? Gonna have to look into that one a little because initially I had a lean towards Grove in that one but now am not sure about that one.

I like Penn also. Although I'm not sure either guy is going to finish the fight. I'm thinking Penn by decision. I like Hendricks and love Riley. I can't tell you how pissed I was at how much I lost when Riley got absolutely screwed last time they fought. Not sure about Almeida, I was leaning Grove.

I got a few reasons.  1.I try not to bet against the Gracie camp (or the Jackson Camp) 2.  I think Kendall being long and Lanky should play right into Almeida's game plan.  If Almeida gets it to the ground he shouldnt have a hard time subbing him.  Almeida also beat the better competition.

Yeah i also was pissed about that Riley fight i lost some $$$ on it to but this time there will be revenge.

Grove almost got bounced by the ufc not too long ago, when he was on a losing streak.

the stand-up between BJ and FLorian may be the factor here.  BJ refuses to take fights to the ground becasue he knows that his toughness and chin cannot be tested in this division.  he will willingly put himself in the pocket to get hit.  this allows him to just throw hard straight boxing punches.  he also knows that he can beat all on the ground so it further reinforces his stand-up.

 

however,  florian's stand-up is not stevenson's or sherk's.  florian has a great stand-up that moves.  his style will not allow BJ to sit in the pocket and just box.  florian mixes it up similar to GSP(and i'm not saying he is GSP here)  florian will be able to equally throw his game knowing should i go down he is good enough to hang.  he has a great active guard and his top game is tight.

 

personally i feel florian really disturbs penn but if penn comes in as slim and fast as the news are reporting he can catch florian sooner or later and with the huge power advantage can hurt him.

 

i like florian alot,  believe greatly in his skill set and training.  he is very intelligent and works really hard,  not sure penn will roll over him,  i would be surprised if he does.  penn should win here,  jsut think florina is a great opponent for penn and it will be close.

 

just my thought

goodluck guys

I agree Florian is a great opponent however i think Penn's boxing is superior to Florians.  And at best Florians ground games is close to Penns.  I think Penn will sink in a RNC either in the second or third round.

I think i might play Penn wins in the 2nd or 3rd round bets, they are each something like +550, I really think Penn will sink in the RNC in either the 2nd or 3rd round

great picks sir,  and goodluck with them.

 

i bet the following:

-pellegrino +190 small(great value here, neer should be favoured but not that much)
-riddle -170 small(same type of fighters but i think riddle has a big wrestling advan)
-mccroy -180 med(great young fighter with huge size and toughness, opponent a one trick wrestling pony)
-riley -150 med(re match here and lets hope riley's all around game and experience can overwhelm nelson's BJJ, wrestling will be key here)
-villefort -180 small(great fighter with agrressive submissions and tactical stand-up that should give power thrower lennox fits. villefort will weather the storm early and win UD
-sotiropolous & silva parlay large to win med(roop has no chance after a minute, if george gets thur with out being KOed than we will win easily, silva i think just wins with more tools)

lots of fav's this card so wish me luck
