If this fight is made in the 30 minutes that I'm out walking the dog I'll bust a load all over the place.
 
guys I am torn on the Meerschaert / Santos fight.

I think Santos is a little chinny / poorer cardio / gives up the submission.

I want to play Meerschaert -- thoughts?
I just watched his 2 ufc fights and man his striking is bad
 
i'm all over camozzi at +500. yeah he's the worse technical fighter but size and reach will be somewhat of an equalizer.

i thought camozzi looked reasonably decent at range against randy brown who is a real welterweight.

this line is bonkers.
you think camozzi at +739 decision has value? or do you see a finish in this one?

Cons to meerschaert: Unathletic and no clear path to the takedown, shit striking, Santos says the gameplan is to sprawl and brawl

Pros: Never been KO'd over a 10 year career, Santos has ended up clinched and/or rocked in his past 3 fights, poor fight IQ on the ground, Meerschaert says he will try to exploit Santos on the ground, brown belt while Santos is a purple
 
I was thinking about skipping this fight, but you sold me on Reem. His line also improved :)

BOL to us.

Let's just hope that they still fight. There's I am mysterious illness going around. FFS

Any UK bookies do the +/- scorecard lines? I don't remember ever seeing them but they seem like such better ways to bet fights where I'm expecting a close decision or a guy to blow through his opponent but the SU isn't worth it.
 
I like Mein > Muhammad.

I think Mein is more prepared for this fight than his last fight. I read in an interview that he has been focusing more on his health/nutrition and just seems to be in a better place with regards to balancing family life/training.

Muhammad can grind and potentially hurt Mein with leg kicks, but I think Mein is the much more dynamic fighter of the two, as long as he's fresh.
 
For people speakin of Meers chin and how he hasnt been KOed, consider the best striker/puncher hes faced is Sam Alvey and after Alvey, you'd be hard pressed to find a guy close or a clear second. Maybe Meer is just good at not getting KOed by Alveys style. I say we cant say with certainty Meer has a good chin. We can say Meers striking is surprisingly terrible. Santos also could prob KO him with a body kick. I think Santos is going to KO him in RD1 so I may be a little biased.

Mj never got stopped until he fought a pressure fighter with power last night

yeah there's definitely value but you'll kick yourself for not hitting the ml if camozzi finishes. keep in mind camozzi has won itd in all of his victories.

laprise probably still wins, i wouldn't go heavier than 1u on camozzi.
 
There should be some kind of repercussions for nunes . You need to be a professional. I don't care if you had a tough cut. You were going to gas tonight and I was going to win a ton live betting schevy and betting her prop lines to win in rounds 3-5

Hopefully they run it back at 214
 
Nunes mystery illness sounds like a case of Karo Parysian syndrome.
 
idk man. has nunes ever pulled out before? sounds like she's sick, i don't care what dana says. if she's legit sick, she shouldn't f'ing fight, just rebook it

cool, yea I'm putting one unit. won't be disappointed if he loses, but value is too good not to take a shot. BOL!
 
Do you guys really believe Dana when he says "SHE WAS CLEARED BRO"?

I'm as disappointed as the next guy, but Amanda worked her ass off during camp so it must be pretty serious for her to pull out.

Fighters love to fight, Nunes would if she could.
 
What are the rules that say the JJ and VS fight can't happen? Anyone know?
 
cool, yea I'm putting one unit. won't be disappointed if he loses, but value is too good not to take a shot. BOL!

word, +500 suggests camozzi needs something inexplicable to happen in order to win (i.e. scoggins/sasaki) which i completely disagree with. i could easily see it being a close striking fight a bit like barbarena/laprise where someone gets a split.

It's from the weight cut. She doesn't have the flu or something. How many adults go to the hospital cause they're sick? I'm sure Dana has more info than we do
