if betting in canada wasnt illegal id probably split about $500 between Rashad Evans, Matt Hamill, Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Rousimar Palhares for sure. I could definitly see some upsets at this UFC among those 4 fighters.

Palahares is only +160? That is a very fishy line. I thought he would hasve been at least a +200 dog. He is fighting Hendo and no one really knows who he is. Something doesnt seem right o me with this line so I am going with Palhares

thats a pretty tough fight to call though, both guys are solid, well rounded fighters with a good amount of experience… it could really go either way

i like matt hammill at +190 though for sure, ive said it before, franklin hasnt done much to impress lately, two loses to silva, lazy wins over a fat travis lutter and a tentative yushin okami, really jason macdonald was the only good fight hes had in a long time and that was back in UFC 68… only thing i worry about is hammils deafness, his corner cant help him out during rounds, and his lack of experience, but he looked great against botsch and bisping and he definitely will have strength/wrestling advantage over franklin…

I’m pretty sure his corner knows Sign language…

My worry with him is his tendency to drop his hands when he gets tired. He still did that against Tim Boetsch.

i said DURING the rounds, not in between them, what is hammill going to turn around and look for instructions from his corner while rich is throwing jabs at him?
by brendan on Aug 22, 2008 1:04 AM EDT up reply actions
No, he’s gonna do like he’s been doing. Fight.

I personally think Kapmann is the only 185er that can make it an actual fight with Anderson. I don’t see Marquardt causing too many problems for him. I don’t even bet, but if I did I would throw at least $100 on him.

Kampmann opened at +120 on BetUs. I checked one day, printed them out and was planning on placing my initial bets until the next day. I log on and he is Even. The line on him moved faster than Kj Noons running scared from Nick Diaz.
For that reason, I have held off on betting on this fight because I think the line will change some more. Although I like Kampman in this fight, Marquardt had shown that he deserves to be the slight favorite in this fight.
- Also, Chuck moved from -260 to -280

hammill seems like an absolute lock, his striking is underrated and his wrestling is unbelievable. franklin better drill td defense or else he’s gonna be in for a long night. I can see palhares beating hendo via sub or ud, but i could also see Hendo winning by ud. Kampmann vs. Marquardt is a toss-up in my eyes

When Hammil gets tired he has to keep his hands up. He drops his hands too much when tired for me to consider him a threat to Rich. Matt will take him down a few times but I see Rich holding on and getting back to his feet. Rich by decision.

Hamill is a good bet at +190. He has a very good shot at winning and he has favorable odds.
by DB on Aug 22, 2008 12:20 AM EDT reply actions
He will definitely be able to take Ace down. However, as Hammill tires (like some have pointed out) he has a bad habit of lowering his hands, which could be a very big mistake against such a good striker as Franklin.

i can’t believe all of the people here that actually think hammill has a chance against franklin. is everybody joking????Franklin is world class and still would be champion if it wasn’t for one of the best fighters ever. hammill’s striking is sloppy,even his strenth, takedowns, are not all that impressive. if, a big if, hammill gets franklin down, franklin could easily sub him.
its pretty simple……franklin is a top shelf fighter, who has the fights to prove it, and hammill is not. hammill is so far over his head, you gotta feel sorry fo him.

I love this card, cannot wait. I hope Karo loses again.

So far I have bet on:
Chuck
Hendo
Parlay on Rich and Chuck
Parlay on Rich, Chuck, and Hendo.
I am trying to imagine the odds for the prelim fights and even without odds, the fights are difficult to pick a winner. I am hoping to get Stun Gun at decent odds against Matt Brown.
I wish I had gotten my bet in on time to get Kampman at +120. I think that I would get more value out of a bet on Kampman if I bet a small amount on a parlay with Martin added to the 3 fight parlay above. He would add a LOT of value to that parlay.
by ViolentMike on Aug 22, 2008 9:57 AM EDT reply actions
FYI: The parlay on Rich/Chuck/Hendo pays out at +188. Adding Kampman to the mix, makes it +476.
I think that that is just SCREAMING for a small wager…
