that was most impressive. wish i would've followed through on that MIR bet with a bit more $$$ 
I'm going to stay away from that one. The staf infection really hurt Nog, but Mir has improved since then too. If one is a decent underdog I'll probably go that way.I'm salivating at the opportunity to make back what I lost on Nog the first time he fought Mir if they were ever to have a rematch.Mir won that fight fight on his feet. Great punch. Really impressive. I still want to see him fight Cain, Carwin or a Staff-less Nog before he thinks about a title. I ended up doing very well with this:Glad I kept it small on the underdog parlay. It is easy to talk yourself into increasing those.
We'll see if it even happens, and then we can definitely break it down further but I don't think Mir has done anything to prove he's on Nog's level in any aspect of the game. I can see this one being a -150/+120 type of line with Nog opening as the favorite, in which case I would likely hammer the crap out of (assuming Nog's smart enough to not fight this time around if he gets sick/injured while training.)I'm going to stay away from that one.

good call. i thought so too, but i was pissed at this line. i thought it would be more value, but the line setters weren't swayed by Lindland's name. i do think back to Lindland being somewhat game with Fedor (at least for a few minutes), and Mayhem looked to have the advantage over Jacare' for the limited time that fight lasted. But i think this is also over-thinking it, and Jacare wins this 90% of the time.
The Mayhem rematch was only about 2 minutes of a stalemate and I think Jacare cut Miller's forehead during that. The only way I see Jacare' losing is if he either caught by something fluky, like the Mousassi upkick, or Lindland wins an incredibly boring 3 round decision. Especially with no elbows to the head on the ground in Strikeforce, Jacare' should dominate if the fight gets the floor. Both guys have poor standup, and Lindland's best chance is to keep the fight standing. Jacare' is a good wrestler but not quite as good as Lindland, so I can see him pulling guard to get the fight on the ground. The ground game in this fight would be similar to Big Nog vs Couture. Lindland's ground is similar to Couture but Jacare's BJJ is on another level compared to Nog.
my bigger bets of the night are Jacare and Benevidez. Also grabbed Whitehead and Scott Smith for light plays because their lines are crazy off (got Whitehead +500 and Smith +300), and will load more on to "The Punk" (Josh Thompson) if these work out pretty well (i.e. i don't go 0-4)
Whitehead blows, maybe King Mo at -800 was correct
at least Jacare' looks in full control of this one
Yeah it was. That guy will always have a career and should have almost all of his fights on TV. I still like the Pete Sell-Scott Smith fight more, but that was an amazing comeback. as for UFC 102 this weekend, i have some picks in:
K-1 Dynamite, mixed show. Some K-1, some MMA. These cards are usually pretty damn good.
Minowa at +250 over Sokoudjou doesn't seem like a terrible idea to me. I didn't see a line on Mousassi / Goodridge. Anyone?Voice Of Reason said:
LOL. I was thinking that up to 500 or 600 he may be worth it. GG doesn't have a prayer.
That is on @ midnight tonight right?ETA - PST
How can you do that? It's only broadcast on HDNet that I know of?
Correct you are!! Time to start deleting stuff!
The sad thing is that there is still value with Gegard there.
Gaygaurd demolishes Goodridge, as expected. and dear lord, I thought I hated Aoki before last night. Now he may have just bumped Dirty Diego for my most hated. What a POS. 
Last nights spectacle after he cries and takes timeouts for phantom eye pokes and nutshots. I wish he'd grow a pair and let BJP kick the #### out of him at 155 over here.
WOW, never seen so much fluff/dead time between fights before!! And what the hell was the guy and posse in wigs???yeah, the bad side of that is making room for 8 hours of HD on your DVR -- it's like 25% of the disk space. You almost have to DVR them....these cards live are terrible with time management. Typically ~ 20-30 mins between each fight.
didn't even stop to watch -- I've learned my lesson with previous Dream / Sengoku cards.... Just FFwd from ending bell to opening bell of next fightWOW, never seen so much fluff/dead time between fights before!!

Would love to see that, but it will never happen.his corner, and his organization.zander_s said:The Aoki guy busted the guys arm then flipped him off??>?

I heard the fans too. I missed DVR'ing it, but heard all about it. I had some money on Manhoef, so that was nice. Pissed though because i went to put a little on Kanahera and Minowa (good call AhrnCity) and i missed them because of the stupid time differences again. One of these days i will figure out what time the japanese events start here in the USand i think tonight's UFC 108 will be a good card. One of those surprises that people think will suck, but will have mostly all good fights. I have a variety of picks out there, but mostly:EvansKampmannYveland less on Ellenberger Ludwigand am contemplating a little on Stout)his corner, and his organization.zander_s said:The Aoki guy busted the guys arm then flipped him off??>?

It should be a good card. The only potential snoozer i think (and i am not even sure this is on the main card) is Miller-Ludwig, because i could see Miller try and keep Ludwig pinned to the ground for most of the fight. and the only one i see a little different then you is the J-Lau-Stout fight. all things considered, J-Lau would dominate this fight, but i am pretty sure he hasn't fought in over a year. Stout has some solid stand-up, but now that i think about it, it is more crisp then power, so J-Lau should survive it. i have convinced myself to order the card because it should be an exciting one, so we will see.EDIT: and i read a funny one about thecurse with this card. Apparently the injury bug has gotten so bad, that even Joe Silva got injured. He messed up his MCL i believe and will be hobbling all around tonight.
-365 why bother
Should have added more to Stout and kicked Ludwig out of the equation. Fell bad for Joe, i thought the ring rust would make a difference, but man not that bad. I hope Sam Stout continues to grow from this one, i always liked him.
Was supposed to be settled already, so I'll reserve my
for now.
Pretty sure that will be the icing on the cake if they do not reach an agreement by then. Vs. seems to have some ground to stand on with the UFC saying they will hold a few cards a year on Vs. Funny, because the UFC can go to any cable channel they want, and will improve the ratings thereWas supposed to be settled already, so I'll reserve my
Well that sure would be nice!!
man, that fight is just going to be a blur of action.
i think we will begin to see the effects of the previous cards being hurt by injuries. 112 looks pretty sick, same with 111. Lot of good cards coming up.
Sherk injured and out. Shannon Gugerty in.http://www.sbnation.com/2010/1/15/1253507/...y-replaces-sean
Man, GL with that. I'm thinking RL goes to sleep quickly tonight.
