    He put other a string of wins against lost fighters but lost against anybody with any credibility in the ufc. He since put together a nice run on smaller promotions, but the standard could be anything. I haven't personally seen them all.
    Importantly, he was brought in as a late replacement. Prob be ausr he is from Boston. We don't know how ready he is for this.

    Losing to Weidman doesnt look to bad now,his rep is through the roof thanks to that sick ko in TUF but he'll win handily tonight imo.

    Maybe this is why he's so short

    I don't rate either highly and both haven't beaten any names and
    how he's the price he is after his last fight is beyond me
    I dont know any of the opponents uriah has beaten and I'd be
    thinking that wilson,mc crory, hallman and brenneman would be
    of a higher standard and howard has beaten them

    That kind of performance won't get him a win tonite imo
    just cant for the life of me see one being 1/5 v 7/2

    The bookies are rarely wrong mind you so I'll probably
    be losing money

    Solid performance from Johnson.
    That's 2 up on my accumulator now.
    No doubt the rest will lose.

    Yeh he probably has 1 loss left in himbefore he'll get cut.
    Nice guy, very tough.
    Has a comp sci degree so he'll be aight

    lauzon just killed a couple of mine
    great performance by mj

    Not feeling so confident of my bets now
    might be relying on uncle chael to salvage some of
    my losses if howard doesnt do something here

    He'll get at least another 2 I reckon, maybe even 3... always puts on great fights, cool guy, means the UFC like him.

    You'd do yourself a lot of favours by watching fights instead of forming opinions on a whim while glancing at Wikipedia. Howard is a very good fighter.

    Did you really back Johnson? I know you are justified as he won but I thought he looked awful in previous fights, just a one dimensional wrestler who gases. He's clearly worked on his boxing though so fair play. He looked a different fighter tonight.

    I'd love to see Hall deliver one of those cemetery knockouts that he became known for on TUF.
