UFC whatever, February 6...

I haven't been posting much lately here, just haven't seen a whole lot of value on the recent cards.  Here's what I got to kill time the night before the Superbowl....

Thiago +180 (risking 1 unit to win 1.8 units)....I've always liked Swick, but he's always been a bit overrated.  His record is sugar-coated because he spent a few years at 185 fighting bums.  I still can't believe Hardy earned a title shot for beating him.  I think Thiago will be able to take him down at will, and once on the ground, Thiago's BJJ advantage is incredible.  Even standing, Swick's advantage isn't enough to warrant him being a -200 fav. 

Serra -140 (risking 1.4 units to win 1 unit)....I'm a little scared to back Serra because he's been off for a while, but I think he just outclasses Trigg.  Serra should be able to name the way he wins.

 

Anyone see any value in Sonnen?  Tough to bet against Nate, but 3-to-1 is a nice comeback on a fighter with Chael's experience.

i think there is a very good reason that Marquardt is laying this price... he will not lose... he is the only guy on the planet who can legitimately step into the ring against Anderson Silva and have more than just a fluke chance... but that division is so loaded, he knows he can't afford to take a step back in climbing the ladder to get another chance against Silva...

Nate is a sharp fighter, with an incredible skill set... Sonnen is a good fighter, but he's walking into a buzzsaw Saturday night...

I'm gonna add:

Coleman/Couture UNDER 2.5 (+200)....I know this is pretty unlikely, but hell, these are two old SOB's, I'll take 2-to-1 that one of 'em can't last more than 12 minutes.

Also adding:

Sonnen +350

Final card:

Thiago +180 (1unit to win 1.8 units)

Serra -140 (1.4 units to win 1 unit)

Grumpy Old Men UNDER 2.5 +200 (1 unit to win 2 units)

Sonnen +350 (.5 unit to win 1.75 units)

 

Good luck ya'll !!!

Loving Serra and Thiago!  Still trying to convince myself that Sonnen is worth a look, but I just don't see him pulling it out.

BOL!
