Alonzo

-was not expecting another shot at dana show, was expecting to go to lfa again
-last fight wanted to implement his other skill set mma game (sub r1 win)
-matches up well to boat, hes strong, kicks a lot
-at fortress gym, training wrestling, ji jitsu and S&C so is improved, some MT and boxing guys trained with.

fasting more but has energy well.
-works at a night club, deals with drunk guys and checking I.D tags
-has more MT experience and boxing, but could go anywhere but not sure what boat going to bring
this fight but will have his hand raised
 
Will Santiago opened at +350, I got on him at +305. He'll likely be much shorter- wish we got weigh-ins for these- but a pretty good and well rounded fighter.

I got .5u on now at an average of +500, lots of wide lines..
 
5d has had that up too.
Are you saying that 5dimes switched the opponent from Seyer to Lane. I placed a bet on Hardy when the line first came out. IAt the time I swear the opponent was not Lane. Then about 4 days later I noticed he was fighting Lane. I don't remember Lane being the opponent when I placed the bet. I thought I was going crazy or my memory was in error.
 
Some russian bookmakers already have Hardy as -300 favorite. It is difficult to make choice based on their skills. But Hardy is hyped and Lane is on short notice. So Hardy is probably overpriced.
In an interview Lane said he was already training for a fight in June.
 
So i know this bout is going to come down to whoever lands first, more than likely, but I threw a small .3u bet on Lane at +160. Would've played either small past +150 and happened to get the guy who may be slightly more skilled.

5d had it as Seyer until recently. I don't know exactly when they switched it, but they had Seyer listed still WAY after the change in opponent had been announced.
 
5Dimes just opened up a line for Greg Hardy vs Austen Lane. Hardy opened at +135, I tried to hit +120 and settled for +105. I don't know much about his opponent, but I'll take a shot on the hype at + money, controversy aside.
Who was the opponent vs Hardy before Lane? When I bet it opened at -275. I placed a bet on Hardy about 4 or 5 days ago at -275. It was NOT vs Lane though.

Seyer. Does your ticket show you have Hardy -275 vs Lane?

If Hardy doesn't get Lane out of there in the first 5 minutes Lane will win through enduring.
 
Seyer. Does your ticket show you have Hardy -275 vs Lane?
I just checked. My bet was cancelled. And yes. It was vs Brandon Seyer. I originally bet Hardy vs Seyer at -275.
 
Santiago is now +570, what the hell is going on here?!
 
Rico

-got the call from manager, did not care which opponent just wanted the shot on dana show
-was at ufc pi with buddy charles rosa training
-training 7 days a week, being smart while training also
-does not focus on individuals fully, just the basics then focuses on himself. Use to adapting to fights
rather then b/d them down fully.
-trained with some decent south paw guys so is more familiar with montels style
-coaches made sure he does not over due the camp, peaks at right time and moment
-will be an awesome fight, expects a fotn, both aggressive strikers, can take it anywhere will try
to finish while standing up or anywhere. Suggest first fighter to make a big mistake will lose.
-cornered previous ufc fighters so knows the drill well
-27th fight with amateur/pro so is comfortable in all areas by now, is all about making the right moves and decisions for himself.



Montel

-got involved when he got dropped from wrestling to mma
-his friend told him to enter ji jitsu tourneys due to his wrestling background. So got
involved in rolling in ji jitsu. Took down all his opponents in tourney, subbed 3 out of 4 guys...
-small amateur career before moving to pro
-was hard to get noticed in mma, fighters don't want to lose or take on undefeated guys.
-works during nights, trains during days
-knows nothing about his opponent rico, does not even know his full name more concerned.
-worked with zak, d2 all american guy, simmons, tim harley and guys due on dana show.
-will mix in punches in bunches and will hurt him all bad intentions


Kevin Holland

-discusses his last fight, says if guys take him down its his ji jitsu time (submission win last fight)
-suggest fans like to see the ko aspect, not always interesting in the grappling/ji jitsu aspect
-its a giant fighting a midget (opponent), says his opponent is 5.8, he is 6.2" so match makers want to see a trophy ko here.
-santiago opponent will be his easiest opponent he ever gets
-made move to 185, since 170 weight cuts were too difficult. Walks around 205 pounds, does
weight lifting and running to improve cardio a lot.
-training at greg jacksons, so striking and ji jitsu on point but training lots of places around the world even ufc pi.
-maybe upper cut finish but will see



Chris curtis

-@ team quest, drilling mma classes
-fighting for over 10 years
-fought for CES promotion
-says lally not cleanest technique but big puncher, is a strong and tough guide but he has
better boxing, power and ji jitsu.
-suggest lally never been in deep waters before
-has been fighting elite competition so not an issue here, lally not fought anyone close
-sam alvey, sean strickland and lots of bodies to train with
-been around 192, should be cutting about 12 pounds of water so should be fine
-says lally has not sacrificed like he has, but he has every day for 10 years so if he stand up he
goes to sleep if he goes to the ground still goes to sleep


Lally

-sunday one rest day of the week, has trained full time for this camp with 4 sessions per day
-teach group classes and personal training does 4-6hrs, does security at night club but not doing
it this camp was lucky to get sponser's in so he could train full time for this fight.
-started karate and taekwondo when young but at 16 found an mma gym and started training
had first fight 17 and pro @ 18. Joined military though after but 6 years after back to mma.
-is a finisher prefers to ko or submit guys and that is why he is on dana show
-worked with some boxers (pro 21-0) got a ji jitsu coach and greg rabello, tom eagaan @ his school.
-sees a technical fight, comfortable where ever the fight plays out but expects a striking war more
but has a game plan but anything can happen.
 
I’m blindly playing Santiago and Boatwright 0.5U each. Those odds are so juicy.
If Santiago wins it will be via 1st round stoppage. If Boatwright wins it will be via dec.
 
If Hardy doesn't get Lane out of there in the first 5 minutes Lane will win through enduring.

I wish we had face-offs along with the single weigh-in photos I saw on MMA Junkie. Santiago will be much shorter and smaller overall than Holland. Will that matter is another story, but the price is way off now for sure.
 
Holy cow, expected Holland to favored, but not a minus 1 billion favorite like he is now. Lmao.
