Looks like a good card. Even if the entire card sucks up until the main I will not care. Didn't notice until watching the weigh ins that this will be Tito's last fight.

Having friends over tonight to get together and watch this.
Never ordered a UFC/MMA card before. I want a sweat, who has a good bet for this one?
Betting 100 on Cody Mckenzie at +475, I don't like him to win but I like getting that price from someone with such a polished, fight finishing specialty. Betting 100 on Chael Sonnen at +230 because I am a fan of his and hope he wins and want the sweat.
I could probably shop for better lines but ACR is the only place I have money online and their sports book seems ok
I agree that the price on Cody McKenzie is tempting. The guy has one of the best guillotine chokes in MMA. Chad Mendes is a beast but when going for a double or single-leg take down he will enter Cody's bailiwick.Originally Posted by Jasep
However, Nam Phan knocked Cody out with a body punch.
Here's a breakdown of the 'McKenzietine':
Also, it's helpful for bettors to realize that Cody McKenzie is very hungry for success. I don't know if he's moved recently but just a while ago this is how he was living:
That video was uploaded before he even won the TV show. Since then, he's trained all over California, completely changed his diet, and as far as I've seen over the last few months, he hasn't trained in Spokane at all for this fight. I'm not saying he's not as motivated as he once was, I'm sure he's just as "hungry," I'm just saying 2 years is a lifetime in mma and that video doesn't tell you anything about tonight's fight or its fighter.
anyone have a good quality stream?
I'm really looking forward to the Easton/Menjivar fight. I think Easyon could be the next big thing at 135. At the weigh ins Cody Mckenzie looked like Charles Manson and Mick Foley had a love child and that love child then got aids.
You're wrong. Did you watch the entire video?That video was uploaded before he even won the TV show. Since then, he's trained all over California, completely changed his diet, and as far as I've seen over the last few months, he hasn't trained in Spokane at all for this fight. I'm not saying he's not as motivated as he once was, I'm sure he's just as "hungry," I'm just saying 2 years is a lifetime in mma and that video doesn't tell you anything about tonight's fight or its fighter.
If you watched the video, you would have noticed that Cody's buddy mentioned viewers might know McKenzie from his appearance on TUF.
The video was filmed after Cody's stint on TUF. Plus, Cody did not win the TUF TV show. I believe Jonathan Brookins won that show.
Also, near the end of the video, Cody tells the viewers that he trained at several gyms, including Urijah Faber's in CA. He admits that he slept in his pick up truck while training at those various gyms.
My point in showing the video was to reveal how tough it is to make it as a MMA fighter. I know Cody is a huge underdog tonight vs. Chad Mendes. I'm not predicting a win for McKenzie; I'm just saying one might want to factor in this guy's hunger to make some money should one consider taking the price on him.
It's important information. One can never have too much information when betting.
Update: Back to sleeping in the pick up.

I'm almost off the grid with a really poor internet connection. No chance of being able to see this card. Just logging in here took 30 minutes. If you know of anyone who tweets during the fights about the fight please post a twitter account for me to follow. Thanks.
