[akatdrake]

TUF Nations Finale, April 16th, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
Fight Card
------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Bisping vs. Tim Kennedy
Patrick Cote vs. Kyle Noke
Elias Theodorou vs. Sheldon Westcott
Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Chad Laprise
Akira Corassani vs. Dustin Poirier
K.J. Noons vs. Sam Stout
Sarah Kaufman vs. Leslie Smith
Ryan Jimmo vs. Sean O'Connell
Dustin Kimura vs. George Roop
Mark Bocek vs. Mike De La Torre
Vik Grujic vs. Nordine Taleb
Chris Indich vs. Richard Walsh
Mitch Gagnon vs. Tim Gorman

Sorry everyone, getting into the card a little late. Was high on Walsh and Taleb but missed the boat. Check my tapology page for the picks. Heck of a fight between the ladies with Kaufman's boxing on prime display.

Looking to see Stout pick up a win with Noons struggling since his EliteXC days. Think Poirier is just too much for Akira, but he's been impressive since joining the organization at 3-0. Love Olivier over Chad, Elias's wrestling, and Cote's striking.

Singles:

Sam Stout -110 over KJ Noons
Tim Kennedy +180 over Michael Bisping
Patrick Cote +155 over Kyle Noke
One unit each

Parlays:
Elias Theodorou over Sheldon Westcott
Olivier Aubin-Mercier over Chad Laprise
+158 for two units

Good luck!!

Definitely didn't anticipate Stout's chin to go - cannot rely on his chin anymore. Nice pick up on Kennedy and Cote. Elias smashed his way through Sheldon. Big oopsie of the night was banking on Olivier. Just a bit too raw, not diverse enough on his feet to keep an accomplished striker on his heels. 2-2 night plus a little bit.
