Cruickshank also sounds like he has camp issues... via facebook

I want to thank Derrick Mandell Munib Alsalmani Roy Ramos jubran nasser for the great sparring rounds. I also like to know where the hell is the rest of my team. I have the toughest fight in my career and I am always there for you.

From the UG:
I know him personally and he is a super loyal teammate and instructor. He is the ONLY UFC lever fighter that trains there. He needs to go to Jacksons or AKA or somewhere like that .
I can't imagine how good he would be with high level training.
He shouldn't have to deal with the amateur shit that he does.
He's a super cool down to Earth guy and I wish him the best of luck. He has a tough fight ahead of him.
 
Why is Pettis -300? If Alvarez can takedown a roided up Melendez 3 times, he can takedown Pettis.
To be fair, Melendez looked horrible in that fighter, roided or not. Looked like he gassed instantly.
 
i genuinely think the O4.5 is better than TJ straight as the lines presently sit, they're close in price

That does sound better, not seen the prop lines yet :)

Oh... That doesn't sound good.
 
I was absolutely obliterated last night in the wallet! Like I told a friend, that idiot judge Chris Lee owes my kids a college education

I was literally on the wrong end of every break last night

Brandao cost me 3 units when he was clearly up to rounds
Noke decision 5 units
Carlos Condit split decision 14 units


But I just dropped by to say that was a hell of a fight and congrats on any of you who made out good! I saw EZ did! Last night was one of those events for me but everything goes wrong… I know that everyone has had one of those where it feels like the world is conspiring against you LOL

Im on the same page as you. Damn you Brandao.

Agree on everything except the overs. I like Pettis as parlay fodder. I think Pettis can finish Eddie here, he is so dangerous. Finished Benson, Cerrone and Lauzon in round 1.

I did consider the ITD considering pettis finishes, but eddie is pretty tough and durable he took some big punches from chandler in there 5 round epic battle and was still there and was still standing against cowboy. His only ko loss was 8 years ago, and he has a sub loss 5 years back in r4 against chandler so I think the short tank like build of eddie may survive a 3 round pettis, maybe he has to be careful of a sub but you could be right on a finish still.

Yeah i hear ya, im not confident in over or the under. I agree about Eddie being tough and durable but at the same time Pettis is so much more dangerous than the guys that he has fought lately.

Wow that is one way to say it !

Felder stock value maybe dropped a little due to those last 2 losses but here is hoping felder has a playable line, he would make good parlay fodder. Its not an easy fight for felder still, 1 more loss and he could easily get cut and daron is an creative fighter.
 
Latifi looks in shape.
Ilir-Latifi-2-583x700.jpg

I will hit BIG on Latifi if he is somewhat better than -250. Guy is a monster.

I dont believe in locks but from time to time I go BIG on a guy that I dont see losing and this is the case.
Last time was Hunt-BF II, and prior to that Edgar-Faber.


Also think Pettis handles Alvarez pretty easily.
Despite being only 31 I think Eddie is over the hill. Too many battles and 30 professional fights in a 13 years career.
He looked bad against Cowboy and even worse against Melendez. In fact Giblert fight ended in a close contest split decision. And that was the worst Giblert Ive ever seen.
Not altitude this time around but I think Pettis is by far the best fighter. I dont see how Eddie wins this one. He sould fight the perfect fight and we all know that Anthony will be looking to make an statemente here.

I dont think Im touching Pettis at -300 because you knoe... MMA.


I like Felder too. I think he is better and being on a 2 fight losing streak he will go guns blazing. I would play him around -150 or something.

Completly lost on TJ vs Cruz. TJ looked like a world beater at times and then he looked subpar against Soto of all the people.
Cruz was never THAT good but him being a smart guy and an analyst I think he could have been improving leap and bounds during the last 4 years.
 
NFL-wildcard

Bengals are +2.5 at home?! This line doesn't make sense to me. The Steelers probably won't even have DWilliams. Good luck covering on the road with no running game. Pittsburgh is being too overvalued here. I'm def on the Bengals, but im gonna save some BR in case it hits +3
 
Why is Pettis -300? If Alvarez can takedown a roided up Melendez 3 times, he can takedown Pettis.

bingo. and he can hang on the feet, too.

i'm not sure if he can TRULY replicate RDA gameplan, but it's there for him

he's been lost for a few fights now, man. missing weight, some shit performances... guy needs to get his act together
 
I'm capping this fight as Pearson as a slight favorite, but have a feeling that he might open in the -180 range, at which point I'll be playing Trinaldo. Thoughts?

i agree that is a likely opening range.. -150 to -200 etc (again, opener)

i'll prolly play trinaldo, too.. a few fights ago he looked like he was gonna start a decline, but he's finding ways to win.. a couple really nice w's lately..

3 of his 4 wins were in brazil, for the record, though. (but he did beat laprise in canada last fight)
