Nice. Wish I Could have seen that. I got Faber in a parlay with Diaz, Cerrone, Aldo to win 6 something for 300. Won Last night on Sheilds, Riggs and diaz for about 180. So I hedge today for a 89$ bet on Aldo and brown to win 110. So either way, I'm pretty happy bout this weekend. Been rough lately.
Wanderlei Silva vs Quinton Jackson
My pick is Quinton Jackson to win
Odds : + 116
Where : pinnaclesports
10 units to win 11.6 units
If only it wasn't for that legal trouble of Rampage I would be very confident with this bet , hopefully his head is where it should be because he can beat Wanderlei here after 2 losses in PRIDE .
Wanderlei got destroyed by Chuck in stand up war who himself isn't at his best anymore and bum rushed Keith Jardine who didn't know what hit him when Wanderlei put him in a rape choke with one hand and pounded him out with another .
Rampage knocked out Chuck and lost a decision to Forrest which could go either way . Forrest hurt Page's leg early and that was IMO the deciding factor in their fight but there will be different problems for Rampage that can make him go 0-3 against Wanderlei , that muy thai clinch I am talking about where Rampage always looks lost . Hopefully he does the right thing and takes Wanderlei down early , pounds him and wears him down . In stand up I also give the edge to Quinton Jackson as long as he can avoid this clinch that Wanderlei should be looking for . Wanderlei going to swing wildly but Rampage should not go there with him and pick his spots like Chuck did most of the time early in the fight before they started brawling . Odds way too good for me to pass as I think Wanderlei has been in too many wars and ended up on the bad end in most of his last fights like against Hendo , Mirko or Chuck .
Already made 1160 betting against Wanderlei ^^^ and plan to pick up even more this weekend when Rich Franklin defeats him .
This fight is = Chuck vs Shogun but that time bookies got the line right and don't plan to give out xmas presents like + 170 on Shogun to beat Chuck .

BFC Welterweight Championship
Omar de la Cruz vs Lyman Good
My pick is Lyman Good to win
Odds : - 290
Where : bookmaker
5.8 units to win 2 units
Just watched most of their fights and I think this is another mismatch in the Bellator finals like Joe Soto vs Yahir Reyes last event . By no means is Omar a bad fighter but I just don't see many outs for him in this one . Have not seen him strike a lot , heard he does/did taekwando but he relies on BJJ from what I've seen , he is not a black belt tho , lacks power in his stand up and might have a lot of trouble getting Lyman Good down as he doesn't seem to have a lot of love for wrestling .
Lyman Good is tough to take down , as you can see in the first picture this guy is built like a tank . He is aggressive fighter who will is willing to dirty box , work in the clinch and overall his stand up is pretty crisp and powerful.
Lyman should have no trouble to dictate where this fight takes place with his solid takedown defense and his opponent lacking wrestling skills to get him down . In stand up I give a very solid edge to Lyman Good , especially with his power . On the ground as far as points go Lyman should be able to get takedowns if he needs to and score points from top with GNP .
Omar has OK BJJ but still lacks the skills to finish some submissions I believe , he will most likely have to work from his back in this one . Against Victor Meza he was sitting on Meza's back like 10 minutes combined trying to sink a RNC , Meza had 2 points taken away from illegal knees but almost managed to win the fight dropping Omar in the third round but couldn't finish him off .

Brainiac shoots....he scores !!!!!!!!!!
:toast:
:toast:
Round 1: Good puts Omar on his back just seconds in, working from closed guard. De La Cruz keeping active from the bottom as Lyman attempts to posture up and pound on him. Good landing some solid left hands, now some hard rights. De La Cruz isn't defending, eating more and more clean shots with his guard open, and Yves Lavigne stops it!
Lyman Good (10-0) def. Omar De La Cruz (5-2) via TKO (Punches) at 1:23 of Round 1
Lyman Good is your inaugural Bellator Welterweight Champion.
Nice to wake up and see your guy won easily , like I've said Lyman should be just too strong and he was .

Dan Hardy vs Marcus Davis
UFC 99 - Davis vs Hardy: To go the distance
Will the fight be decided by the judges?
My pick is NO
Odds : 1.70
Where : unibet https://www.unibet.com
4.3 units to win 3.01 units
You can see few threads on top started by Dan Hardy on a MMA forum with photoshops of Davis and claiming he is fake irish .
Also look what Davis thinks about it and how pissed he is
<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1nXtXuyCmnQ&hl=de&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1nXtXuyCmnQ&hl=de&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
This can end in many ways but decision is the last way I would think of after all the things that have been said and done .
Hardy has been subbed 3 times in his career , when he was young but I am still suspect about his submission defense . Davis is no D.Maia but he has 8 submission wins , funny thing is his last 2 submission wins have been against 2 english strikers Paul Kelly and Paul Taylor .
Dan Hardy has solid power and can KO Davis or win on a cut because Davis is known for his skin issues .
Most obvious pick at this point would be of course Davis by KO , he has very solid boxing coming from this background , power is there and the most important he is very pissed off at Dan Hardy which can either lead to him smashing Dan Hardy like he claims he will or getting caught .
There are many outcomes without going to a decision , especially with this trash talk they both have to deliver and I think they will which leads to one of them getting their butt kicked in less than 15 minutes .

VERY SOLID PLAY

Ben Saunders vs Mike Swick
My pick is Mike Swick to win
Odds : - 200
Where : paddypower http://www.paddypower.com and sportsbook
12 units to win 6 units
Fair line should be around - 300 if not higher if you ask me . Seriously ... this is what beating a punching bag does these days ... Brandon Wolff ... I feel sorry for this guy , he is not even CLOSE to UFC standarts and he knows it , UFC knows it , Ben Saunders knew it , people found out after watching him get smashed in the first round twice in his UFC ''fights'' , combined 253 seconds .
Mike Swick is a legit guy and a massive step up for Saunders who hasn't looked all that hot in TUF and then got 2 cake opponents in his 2 UFC fights . I have seen some of Saunders's fights and don't see anything special in this guy other than he knows how to beat up a guy with knees in the clinch who has never heard about this move .
Swick on the other hand has some good wins on his record : Riggs , Loiseau , Burkman , Markus Davis and 33 seconds KO over Goulet . He has lost a decision to Okami but there is no shame here , Okami is as legit as they come and would probably smash Saunders easily , in fact Okami should be the next getting a title shot . Swick is pretty well rounded fighter these days , very quick on his feet and with his fists - they don't call him Mike QUICK Swick for no reason .
Saunders is a big guy for this division but I just don't see anything Swick should really fear with this guy other than forgetting how to get out of the clinch in case Saunders can reach his hands around Swick's neck before he is dropped with light speed punches of Mike .

Kind of a sucker play , I was waiting to see if Mirko can get closer to - 300 to take him from - 400 , public has reacted after not seeing him ripped but I think this still should be enough to T/KO his opponent in the first , no disrespect but I wasn't impressed with Mustapha against Congo , neither did Mirko do anything amazing lately BUT he still should have great takedown defense he used to show in PRIDE and Al-Turk isn't really a threat on his feet . Mirko might be washed up but Al-Turk is no Overeem and there should be enough power left in Mirko to knock out M A-T ... if not this might be it for Mirko's career .
