UFC on Versus 4

[akatdrake]

Prelims start in ten minutes, haven't had any time to cap - but wow on Dana pushing Marquardt outta the league. Must have went the Josh Barnett way of cutting? :laughing:

Already have Pat Barry locked in a couple of weeks ago at +160, both he and Kongo aren't very smart fighters, so it's pretty even and I'll once again take the dog.

Will be playing as I see fit. :)

First up - Michael Johnson vs Edward Faaloloto - Johnson is a HUGE fave -600, staying away.

[akatdrake]

Holy moly! Good work Johnson! His striking has really improved, as he was able to land a couple of elbows, knees, and countered a few in the first round victory. Excellent work.

[akatdrake]

Next up: Matt Grice vs Ricardo Lamas - taking Grice here at +140, as a great wrestler off four straight wins. Lamas makes his UFC debut and also boasts a great wrestling style. Should be a fun fight to watch.

[akatdrake]

Oops! 0-1, as Grice takes a switch-kick to the head, is badly hurt and eats a few others before the ref stops it late in the first.

[akatdrake]

Next up is Nik Lentz vs Charles Olivera - taking Lentz at +140 - Lentz boasts a very impressive 12-0-2 in his last 14 fights dating back to 2007, while Olivera is coming off his first loss to Jim Miller back in December.

[akatdrake]

Plus, Lentz is from Minnesota!!!!!

[akatdrake]

Holy **** that might have been one of the best rounds I've ever seen. Lentz walks into the clench and eats knees, elbows, almost gets tapped by a one-armed guillotine... then reverses it against Oliveira and almost chokes him out! Lentz looks very gassed though.

[akatdrake]

And boy Oliveira's guard is so active, reminds me of Anthony Pettis. You're never safe there, and he strikes very well. Very frustrating as an opponent I'm sure.

[akatdrake]

Lentz eats a VERY ILLEGAL knee that was not called by the referee that leads to a tap by a rear-naked.

[akatdrake]

Rogan says the commission will review the fight ... wonder if my LOSS will be graded as a PUSH if that happens?? :p

[akatdrake]

Next up: Daniel Roberts vs Rich Attonito - got Ninja at -115 earlier this week. Like Roberts here, but the way it's going eek!

[akatdrake]

0-3 today with Barry pending. No more bets for me :P Got ass kicked in MLB this weekend (thanks Twins :)) and here today.

[akatdrake]

Holy moly! Barry looks like he's knocked out Kongo twice in the first round but referee doesn't stop it... goes in wild, eats a right hook and then get KTFO by a right upper cut. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????

0-4, eek but wow what a fight!!!

Never seen anything like that.

Pat Barry is Pat Barry's toughest opponent. He should of beaten both Cro-Cop, and Kongo pretty easily. He certainly had the talent to. Now he will spend the next year fighting a couple of cans to rebuild his name. God forbid he loses one of them, because then it's the pink slip.

On a side note, man am I curious to hear what the hell is up with Nate.
