[yukoncornelius]

Yushin Okami +150
Rich Franklin -180


Hector Ramirez +200
Forrest Griffin -250


Rory Singer +150
Jason MacDonald -180


Clay Guida +140
Tyson Griffin -170


Jason Tan +300
Marcus Davis -370


Colin Robinson +160
Eddie Sanchez -200


Scott Smith +140
Ed Herman -170


Stevie Lynch +190
Dustin Hazelett -240



Interesting lines in my opinion. The favorites should be bigger in a couple of cases. That said, if you can parlay the entire card, I REALLY think you got a legit shot at cashing in. :sm:

Here are my picks ...

Franklin (although Okami is a serious opponent, make 2 parlays with both winning)
Forrest Griffin
Jason Macdonald
Tyson Griffin
Marcus Davis
Eddie Sanchez
Scott Smith
Dustin Hazelett


Thoughts - I DO NOT see forrest or jason losing. Tyson is facing clay guida which is definitely a game opponent, but man griffin is a man beast for his size. Marcus Davis is fighting in front of his heritage... should come away with a win no prob. Eddie Sanchez fighting a guy with decent record but primarily has fought poor competition. Scott Smith is the pup pick.. Ed Herman overhypes himself and hasn't been impressive lately, he seems to move quite slow too. Scott Smith on the otherhand throws HEAVY hands, and is a good enoguh wrestler to stay out of danger. However, Ed could pull out a sub, so you never know. Dustin Hazelett should get the win as well due to his bjj.



As far as straight up picks...

Forrest -250
Tyson -170
Jason MacDonald -180
Smith +140 (value pick)
Okami +150 (value pick)


Good luck to anyone that gets in the action, unfortunately its somewhat of a downer event, but oh well.

yukon i had tyson his last time out,, cost me an 8 fight parlay:bang: i think he rebounds here......... how he didnt brake edgars leg in that fight i have no idea.........the payout on that parlay i cant remember but it was a biggie...okami i can see giving franklin trouble for sure,, he is very strong,, really dominated swick his last fight.......will throw a few small parlays in for fun...........good luck,, btw forrest is in need of a win badly,, two straight losses would not be good for him right now.........i like forrest and tyson,,,,,,,, franklin fight might be the ole coin flip:beerbang: good luck hope we both hit something............:glass:

[yukoncornelius]

Agreed, even though Rich is a BEAST... Okami is very good at taking control of a fight, and has been impressive in both the UFC and ROTR.

Lines have already shifted on bookmaker... the individuals I picked have, people are smart :sm:

HEY YUKON??? I hate to change the subject but when I was checking the lines for this weekend, I saw something interesting. After I stopped laughing, I had to come and get the forums opinons on this. WTF???? Whats up with Ray Mercer fighting KIMBO slice on the 23rd?? If anyone doesnt know who Kimbo is, YOU HAVE to go to youtube and check him out. Straight comedy...the guy is like the mike tyson of backyard bare knuckel banging!! unbelievable. Is this fight on PPV? Man, I have to see this, I think this fight alone will be more entertaining than this weekends UFC? It does nothing for the legitimacy of mma or any kind of fighting for that matter, but it is a must see for a fight junkie like myself. Just wondering if anyone else knew anything about this? Forget Ray mercer, I want to see Kimbo fight Tommy morrison, that would be good.... Ill be back with UFC pics later, just had to get this out there.
see ya guys!!

[yukoncornelius]

lol Mike, can't believe you didn't know about the kimbo mercer fight. Kimbo is underground legend hahah, but its weird how hes never KO'd someone. Especially bareknuckles, you'd think he would KO someone, or he just has no power. One thing is for sure, mercer DOES have power and will KTFO out of Kimbo if he tries to stand with Ray. WAR RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EddieP]

merciless ray mercer:beerbang:

[EddieP]

dimes nor betus has anything but franklin vs okami at this point......... they have fights like rampage vs hendy which is months away,, but dont have the 72 card up........i dont get it,, they dont give us much time do they???

[No1mikefan]

to be honest Yukon, I chalked it up to mma forum rumour? Didnt think it would happen, I heard the same thing about Kimbo fighting Paul Buenetello? Im pumped to see that circus act. If Mercer is wanting to continue this type of fighting, Maybe Tommy the Duke could get that rematch, this time with 4oz. gloves, i would pay to see that. That will remain one of the most brutal boxing K.O.s I can remember. As a morrison fan, that crap hurt my feelings....LOL!! It just goes to show you how everyone is trying to get a piece of this mma money... Did you watch TUF tonight? good stuff, looking forward to the finale, lets go B.J!!!!!

[EddieP]

[No1mikefan]
