Hey guys, just had some time to drop in ....been real busy… Is there any particular fights that you're on the fence about or would like to be broken down?
BTW: if any of you are unfamiliar with newcomer Damien Brown and have Access to Hulu you can watch a lot of his fights under the Legendp FC banner which Hulu has a full comprehensive library of.
Mir looks mediocre. Not like in his fight against Arlovski but still pretty bad.
Putting some on Hunt, not even mad at paying the juice.

For all intents and purposes Damien Brown is a C- level fighter -- if you're grading him on a UFC scale -- in comparison to the other fighters on the roster. While he is solid everywhere, he isn't overly athletic and doesn't have nasty fight ending power that pumps fear into his opponents heart. A fundamentally sound striker, Brown stands in the orthodox position with hands up and chin tucked buttressed by a wide stance. With his almost sideways karate stance -- similar to that of a Makdessi, Wonderboy, and Machida -- he works behind a stiff jab and a plethora of kicks to all levels. The most disconcerting aspect of his striking game is that he does not possess raw power -- to end a fight with one shot -- and he is a low-volume striker. This combination explains how he has lost so many close decisions. For me, Browne's best punch is his extended straight right -- aesthetically similar to Connor McGregor's long left -- yet it doesn't have much steam behind it. Utilizing a decent takedown game Brown has been able to exploit the low level wrestling IQ that Aussie fighters possess. As such he has been able to work a pretty tight BJJ game with 8 of his 15 victories coming via submission. Brown is most effective in the scramble and doesn't adhere to the "position over submission" parable which often ends with him losing superior position. As his 15-8 record indicates, this has had mixed results as he has lived and died by the submission many times.
Brazilian lightweight Alan Patrick is back in the octagon this weekend where he looks to erase the memory of his brain scrambling HHK loss to Russian bomber Mairbeck Taisumov and his last outing. That defeat in June snapped what had been a 12 fight unbeaten dating back to 2008. Through his initial to UFC appearances, "Nuguette" kept his unbeaten streak alive as he polished off a middling Garrett Whiteley in his debut and then followed it up with a closely contested victory over John Makdessi. The 32-year-old Brazilian is a very solid kickboxer who has clean, crisp, effective strikes with both his hands and feet. At 5’11," he will have a just a one-inch height advantage over Browne, but make no mistake, Patrick is going to be the much bigger and physically imposing man in the cage. The most significant advantage that the Brazilian is going to have will be in the grappling department where he should be able to utilize his top-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu attack to stifle the Aussie or possibly get the tap out. With a black belt is BJJ, Patrick is quick on the mat and excellent in scrambles utilizing his elite athleticism. The biggest problem with Patrick is getting him to put everything together and flow seamlessly as he often appears apathetic and takes his foot off the gas pedal. This is unappealing to fans leading to the "boo birds" coming out and puts him in a position to potentially lose a close decision. This could be a concern fighting somewhere such as Australia where the fans will be cheering every Brown strikes.
Having said all that, this is more than just an uphill climb for Brown. Even if he had a full training camp I would pick Patrick to get the victory with relative ease -- if he fights to his maximum potential -- and taking the fight on short notice is not going to do him no favors. Unfortunately, Brown is facing fighter who is better than him in every single aspect of the game. Worse still, the Aussie does not possess the type of one punch knock out power to offset the gap in talent. Look for the stronger Patrick to enter the clinch and wear on Brown well picking him apart from the fringe with long straight potshots in route to a typical hum-drum outing for the Brazilian
Patrick wins a clear-cut unanimous decision.
I actually went with .1u on Patrick R3 at +1025, assuming Brown might gas due to short noticeI just added a .25u bet on Patrick wins in round 1. I think +325 is pretty good odds for that against a regional fighter in Brown stepping in on short notice.
