    Ufc 68

    any thoughts guys? the majority of times fighters are favorites in MMA for a reason. Rarely do you see the Huge underdog pull it off. With that being said you could of made a mint last weekend taking dogs in the Pride 33 event in vegas. Dan Henderson, Nick Diaz, Frank Trigg and some others all cashed as big dogs. many of them +200 or more? Will that trend countinue with the UFC 68 PPV sat night? Well, if you like dogs and are looking for that payout, you cant do much better than pulling for Randy Couture to get the upset. I have seen some books having him at +266! You cant beat that money if you think he can do it. Personally I will be pulling for him but Im just not sure if he can. Tim sylvia is soooo damn big. Yes his fights have been boring lately and his style is far from exciting but I think he does enough to get the win in this one. I think he will keep Randy off him with the jab and should be hard to take down. Plus you add in that Randys last two loses were by K.O. (Chuck lidell) combined with a year and a half layoff, it doesnt look good for his chin against Tims punches. Like him or not, Tim sylvia hits harder than Chuck Lidell based on sheer size alone. Good luck if you feel like rolling the dice on randy. I will not be suprised if he wins, just cant put my money on it. I look for matt Hughes, Rich Franklin, babalu, and Matt Hammil to roll but they are large favorites and hard to make good money. The Rich Franklin fight should be a great one, really looking to see how he rebounds from getting his face rearranged not too long ago, hope he can "mentaly" handle the comeback? we will see, should be a great card and a must see for any MMA fan!
    Good luck guys! Great to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

      NICE!!! Gotta love that Nick Diaz win! He talks a lot of crap but he gets in that cage/ring looking to back every bit of it up!! lots of heart, love it.

        ufc

        iam not sold on franklin,and i think he has a chance to be beaten again... no telling how he will react with a few good shots on that nose.....lets face it silva just about killed him.........the canadian jason is no can,he wont be a pushover.... in the main card i think he has the best chance as a dog....i agree tim should beat randy with ease,i dont see how randy could beat him,,even if he does get a takedown what does he plan on doing once he gets tim down,,the snowman is much stronger than randy and he couldnt do anything against tim on the ground........hughes i think is a no brainer,i dont see him losing two in a row,,same goes for babalu.............but with all that said anything can happen,,i think the best thing you can do would be to mix and match a few small parlays.........most of the favs should win,but like you said they wont pay much....nog was -2400 last week,,he got ko ed in 30 seconds,nothing is 100 percent,,i will be playing both sides of the fence again on some of these fights...last week for pride i played 11 parlays for 5 bucks each,,, i came close on atleast 5 and i hit the one.... the name of the game is mix and match,,its nice to get to the main event and have parlays alive with both guys.............the undercards i have no clue.........

          mike the fact is i loved gomi to win that fight,,i didnt think diaz had much of a chance....really besides lawler he didnt beat anyone good till now.... gomi had him dead to rights in round one,and couldnt finish him........i think gomi had to much vegas,,i have never seen him gas like that,i thought he was joking or playing at first,,but he had nothing left,,at that point i think i could have knocked him out,,in fact i think my wife could have knocked him out,,she hits hard for a lady:) iam not taking nothing away from diaz he is one tough sob,,for sure he needed plastic surgery,,his face was a mess!!! the point iam trying to make is i didnt think diaz had a chance,,but i still bet him on a few parlays,,i wish i had that nogera fight the dog was plus 1600:)

            I like your style EddieP! I agree, that is why I said I want to see if Franklin can handle the comback "Mentaly" we know he will be in great shape! But like you said, he damn near got killed in the cage. I just think if he is ready, his stand up will get him past the canadian. I have to admitt I am a little biased being a team quest fan and watching Macdonald dismantle them. IMO leben was doing great at stand up but when they got to the ground, Macdonalds submissions are sick. I just dont think he brings much else besides great
            subs. You just have to think that rich wants to make a HUGE impression with a dominant victory. I do worry about the fact that some guys just cant come back after an ass whooping like he got. and what if he wins....another title shot for him??? OUCH!! I just dont see it going any other way than the 1st one? but that is why we cant wait to watch and why we will be betting on it. I agree on the small parlays, makes it more fun and helps you not lose your ass. I dont know about you but I am getting pumped. did you see the showtime card a couple of weeks back? gotta love that charles "Krazyhorse" bennet guy, fricken nuts!!!

              the only fights i was one sided on for pride was hansen and mach,,and hansen made me sweat for a such a big fav......never thought henderson would win either,,also thought overeem would have fought better as i had him on a few parlays...........anyways nogera fight was about to start,,my wife looks at me and says the underdog is going to win...i said no possible way nogera looses this fight he is -2400.........strange **** happens...even the showtime mma card a few weeks back,,,no one gave crazy horse ,gracie or joey v that much of a chance,,all three dogs won.........

                  i loved the horse in that fight but was afraid to bet him,,,the line had me messed up,,i said how could he be a 280 - 300 dollar dog,this guy he is fighting has only 3 fights???? just didnt make sense,,,but if you had joey v ,gracie and bennett in a parlay the payout was sweet..........for ufc i will have an all fav parlay,,but i will have some mix and matchers too,,its kinda fun to have both guys bet,,you dont get so pissed off when one or the other loses,,,i enjoy the fights alot better like that!!! look at wandy silva,,,he fought nothing like his old self,,he was not one bit agressive like he normally fights(reason) i think the beating cro cop gave him,,changed him he wont ever be the same ever...franklin might be the same way,,he should be able to walk right though jason,,but what should happen and what will happen might not be the same thing..........gonna bet them both,,and i will have an all doggie or two parlay as well,,,you just never know,,hopefully i can put a winning ticket together............lots of great boxing coming up on sat too...........

                    As long as you can win enough to cover the PPV and the refreshments, its all good! yea, I pussed out on taking Krazyhorse too. I was rooting for him and damn near had a heart attack when he landed that shot!!! I just thought k.J. Noons would submitt him, that is Krazyhorses weekness, ground game, He is a banger and he sure as hell showed it, I love watching that guy. they have some great highlight clips of him on youtube. check em out if you havent seen them!

                          What the hell Eddie? Ha, you should have told me you moved.

                          I am going to be on here from now on. Nothing against UC, but time really only allows me to post on one Capping forum and it seems like all the true people from UC are now here.

                          What's up No1mikefan.

                            Oh, and on topic this card doesn't interest me too much.
                            I hope Hamill gets the win and gets out of the prelims. MacDonald is the only live dog I see. The Hughes over 1.5 looks good as well.

                            The 4 fights total on Showtime and HBO ****s all over UFC 68. Boxing for me this weekend...
