UFC 90: 10/25/08 -- Allstate Arena, Chicago

[nj]

Bucs, I saw your early picks in the thread, are you laying money on Silva and Alves? How about Burkman, Leites, Franca?

You don't like Santos at +550?

Do you feel strongly about this card? Im getting cold feet on Alves, and considering adding Franca.

 

[nj]

I'd say good luck....but screw you:142smilie

Right back ya Slick

Ghost im knee deep in this myself. Silva looks like a lock to me, not sure about any of the other plays. I can tell you that some smart guys I've consulted are on Sherk, little or no action on Clementi and Sell. This is indeed a tough card.

 

[1837]

Adding Cote +551 (10 units!!!!):scared
C'mon baby let's shock the world!!!!!:firing: :bigun: :jump:

(I know you will call me crazy but now that i have the odds i wanted... i have a hunch Silva is in for a surprise...) :00x11 :mj09:

 

[kickserv]

Cote...........let's do it baby......worth a shot at the big odds...:firing: :firing: :firing: :firing: :firing:

Pete Sell def. Josh Burkman by Unanimous Decision (29-28) on all judges cards

:00hour

good start

 

[1837]

Indeed a good start!!!!:00hour

 

[gardenweasel]

i had burkman in a small par....they said he fatigued after a solid first round....

the f-cking weight...

no biggie...we`re coming back...

 

[gardenweasel]

franca up 2 rounds to zip according mma weekly...

c`mon franca...i don`t want to start this shindig out 0-2...

 

[muhr]

aurelio is done, he never has come from behind wins.

1-1 for me

 

[gardenweasel]

Hermes Franca def. Marcus Aurelio by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)


two 29-28`s with a point deduction from aurelio?....

whoa...wtf was mma weekly watching?...

checking back,i see no mention of a point deduction.....????

i`m losing my mind...

 

[muhr]

sherdog indicates that video replay shows aurelio's knee was legal although it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. i doubt the ref's temporary stoppage changed the outcome.

 

[muhr]

franca sounds like a real turd. pushes aurelio before the fight and then after winning a decision attempts to shake aurelio's hand.

i read there was considerable bad blood between these guys...

aurelio hasn`t exactly been a ball`o fire since leaving pride....actually,quite a few pride guys have taken their lumps...

i used to love pride...always thought their top fighters were better on the whole than ufc...

maybe i was wrong...

 

[gardenweasel]

horwich giving miller a fit...

 

[muhr]

horwich giving miller a fit...

yeah, a little too close for me, but a win nonetheless.

 

[gardenweasel]

c`mon fisher.....nice 1st round...

 

[muhr]

Thales Leites def. Drew McFedries by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) in RD1, 1:18

:mj07:

if the ufc wants to keep drew around they need to match him up better.

 

[gardenweasel]

i`m considering doing something i never do.....

i may lay 4-1 and bet silva inside the distance....

no way this goes 5....

somebody talk me down from the ledge....

 

[muhr]

last second bet

sherk -226
