    Anyone sweet on anything in ufc tomorrow nite?

    Personally,
    I can't see past
    Okami 3/10
    bader 1/4
    machida 2/9
    I think velasquez should also be too
    good for rothwell so ill add him also at 1/3
    and lastly imo johnson 3/10 should take care
    of yoshida
    i think the lot pays around 11/4 with pp
    anyone disagree with any of that lot?

    wouldnt blame you
    bit short at 2/9 tho
    some fancy rua given his dominant displays in pride
    but even back to that form i see only one winner
    id be doubling with bader or velasq myself
    okami wins narrowly too often or rather unanimous decisions to be
    lumping on tho in fairness he does looks a cert too

    Rua is not the man he used to be. I was in the second row at UFC 93 and it was like watching Coleman fight a turd.

    I think he's mentally weak, whereas Machida is a complete pro.

    I know in MMA everyone has a chance, but Machida is so clinical I can't see anything other than a clean win.

    Can't wait for the fight. :)

    Btw, any non-MMA fans reading this, if you've never watched UFC before, I strongly recommend you check it out this weekend! It really is unbelievable entertainment. For example, check this out, it's from UFC 101:

    I was about 7/8 rows behind you then
    i spent most of my time looking up at the big screen however
    which kinda defeated the purpose of paying 256 (cant remember exact price)
    for a near ringside seat
    another great fight but you may have to register to watch..not sure tho
    couture v nogeira

    Betting on these, main card only

    *Lyoto Machida Vs. Mauricio Rua* (The Dragon obv)


    *Cain Velasquez Vs. Ben Rothwell* (Rothwell will gas, Velasquez will repeated take him down)


    *Gleison Tibau Vs. Josh Neer* (close but Tibau by split decision)


    *Joe Stevenson Vs. Spencer Fisher* (Joe Daddy for me, has had 3 recent losses, but each were against the current top 3 LW guys)


    *Anthony Johnson Vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida* (Johnson lost recently due to an illegal blow, at least I think i remember that, eye poke, came back to KTFO, will out strike the undersized jap, TKO rd 2)

    :D

    a much improved performance by sonnen
    i was worried after the first round
    its a terrible loss for okami and he'd be
    as well off fighting for someone else now after that
    sonnen beat him easier than franklin

    Anyone that lumped on Machida got damn lucky! (Me included :D)
    I guess the judges had lumped on him too, because there's noway he won that the fight 3 rounds to 2
