UFC 188: Cain-Werdum, a great warm-up for Kimbo-Shamrock next week

At a moderately sickening altitude of ~7200 ft, the UFC serves up some Brown Pride for the first time in over 600 days, or something.



If you like dogs, there are plenty to be found here. Would be over the moon if Werdum pulled this one off. Melendez-Alvarez been a long time coming. Bottom fight on the card already pulled because the late replacement fighter hit the deck while cutting weight. IV in, fighter out.

Weigh-ins in a little while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH0p9OehA-M

Once we get this little event over with, we can really get the Kimbo-Ken Shamrock hype train started. Gonna be the most-watched MMA event of the year, fo sho.

can we talk about how the bookies are pretending kimbo v shamrock doesnt even exist? and how incredible that is?



also i put light action on nate. he starts hard out the gate and has that crafty vettor thing going. worth a gamble imo.

lol yet another thread where tine has to be the first one to chime in


log off already and get some fresh air ffs

Throwing thousands on Werdum . This is what happens when you are in Vegas and bored:

(some picks for the day). The AUS/Nigeria pick already a fail

i know some sharps who are going in on werdum. im holding off because i think werdum starts slow and cain doesnt, and cain has a super conservative top game.

+400 for him is just way too much of a steal imo. There are too many question marks surrounding Cain. lol at this whole Mexican/brown pride BS surrounding Cain. He was born in fucking Los Angeles.

ok fuck it im a believer. ill hollar at +375.

Any one have any good dogs they like besides Werdum? I got 2k on him at +400. He probably gets destroyed but I just think +400 is too good to pass up.

I know it is a month away but does anyone else think Aldo is a steal at -110?

the fact an athletic commission OK'd the Kimbo/Shamrock fight is amazing.

I'd be pretty careful with that. Altitude also diminishes finishing power. If guys aren't getting KO'd quick, there could be a lot of 3rd round finishes or decisions.

Chico "The King" Camus
+650


+650?!? Camus was one of the most influential writers in the history of mankind, +650 is outrageous.

I was into mma before the plague of doping scandals brought about the fall.

My plays today:

Benitez +210

Alvarez/Melendez Under Rounds 2.5 +180

Marqurdt +400

Torres -300

Verdum +400 (I think Cain is a fav but not THAT big)

holy shit... werdum line now at +325.


thats a lot of fucking action on werdum.

I know jack shit about MMA...seeing +365 on werdum...seems like you guys think that that is good enough of a price for a gamble, correct?

If I were guessing the line before seeing it, I would of said +325. I got it at +400 which is good value no matter who you think will win.

Cain is coming off an injury and Werdum has better jiujitsu and is used to the altitude from fighting the last fight versus Hunt. He is a very live dog.

That being said, Cain has unbelievable cardio, fighting "at home" in Mexico, and is a better boxer/striker, even with Werdum's improvements in that area which he showed vs Browne and Hunt. Should be a fun fight.

werdum by weird choke in the third.

Too bad you didn't take Columbia vs France for Women's World Cup...big upset

(or so I hear, who gives a shit).
