UFC 99 weigh-in results LIVE for 'Franklin vs Silva' from Germany

DAMN Cro Cop looks huge; doesn’t look as cut though, but he’s all smiles and looks like he’s ready to go

Wow Wandi looks like he’s in great shape; completely different attitudes from both Wandi and Cro Cop; I really do not know what to expect here, I’m hoping we’re about to see two old school vets come back and WOW everybody. Everyone looks solid for this event; I can’t wait for these fights guys!

WAR WANDERLEI!
WAR CRO COP!

I guess Rich is such a nice guy that even Wand can’t mean mug him, lol

WOW Odamn, I like it, that was the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time! (the my little pony comment!
1. Fedor
2. Anderson silva
3. Miguel Torres
4. GSP
5 BJ penn/ Nick Diaz
.
John, I won’t agree it’s Dana’s doing if big John doesn’t referee Machida/Shogun in LA, but I will say it’s either him or Big John! I thought I read somewhere that Big John doesn’t make himself available fir UFC events!

Machida is in the 5. list too!

that’s my top P4P list someone asked me for yesterday!

:)

Kevin, that was me when you posted the link with the Miguel Torres interview saying he was #7. Thanks.

However have to disagree greatly with the Nick Diaz at #5. Yes he does jump weight classes but I dont think a victory over an aging Frank Shamrock and a 1 dimensional Scott Smith gets you in the top 5 (or even top 15 IMO).

Big John has said that he hasn’t gotten his license in reinstated in Nevada because he dosen’t want to cause friction.

Big John has basically said he has no problems with the UFC, but at one point while he was “retired” from reffing he made some suggestions about rules and weight classes that pissed Dana White off pretty good. I think Dana’s words were something to the affect of “Big John is the enemy” of the UFC. Or some such

Big John has stated on the record that he has no problem with UFC, and would like a chance to bury the hatchet.

I agree WB it doesnt, but with the exception of Fedor, I’d put Nick against anyone in that list and give him a chance at victory!

Here we go…

Franklin
Kongo
Saunders
Mirko
Davis
Fisher

Fight of the Night: Saunders/Swick or Taylor/Sobotta
Knockout: Mirko or Etim
Submission: Sobotta

In good conscience, I just can’t bet against Wand out-right. The best I can do is give him a split…

60/40 in Franklin’s favor.

My PICKS (These are some of the toughest EVER to pick):

Rich Franklin
Cain Velasquez
Mike Swick
Dan Hardy
Spencer Fisher
Mirko Filipovic

i freakin miss big john..i would love to see him ref the ufc again..but i won’t hold my breath..let’s get it on..come on!!!
so stoked for the fights, hope they are all battles.

jtc2112 it’d be nice if you provided a link on that story. Its very unusual that Dana White would talk trash about big John. He’s the best ref hands down that MMA has had. I remember some of the rules he suggested and they were not that bad to where I thought they would provoke Dana White or the UFC.

Wanderlei has always kind of reminded me of Tong Po, the bad guy from Kickboxer (starring Jean-Claude Van Crackhead). Just thought I’d share that.

Official JJ™ UFC 99 main card picks:

Wanderlei
Cain
Swick
Hardy
Fisher
Cro-Cop

Take that shit to da bank, bitches. :-)

Damn JJ, for once we finally on the same page; I’m with you on ever one of those picks.

:)

Looks like you’ve finally come to your senses and joined the Dark Side, OD. Welcome aboard!

stream it in the afternoon, the european fans will have it up on justin.tv

I’m the biggest mma fan, and when guys I like (none on your list) fight, I get pumped too. I don’t know if it’s nerves or excitement!

when my fav fighters are fighting..i won’t bet on them so as to not curse them..i was picking fights so well for a few years..then after a while it just seemed if i wanted my fighters to win and i bet on em, they would lose..so i just won’t do it..and yeah i get all nervous and excited for the fights too..my man thinks i’m such a geek for looking at this site all the time..i had to get HIM into mma..ahahaha

Your man let’s you bet??? Women base their bets purely on emotion. Just kidding. My wife doesn’t let me bet. She put her foot down on that one. So, I watch for the love of the sport.

SARAH, what I often times do when one of my favs is fighting is put a very small bet (often times minimum) in against him when the opp in a significant underdog. That way, either my favorite wins, or I can wipe my tears with some cash.

For example, Hendo happens to be one of my favs. When the odds first came out, I bet $5 that Bisbing will beat Hendo and if he does, I’ll be pissed, but my account will be up $17.50. If he loses, I just paid $5 to watch Hendo beat him down!!!!!! Which is much more than worth it.

But I don’t always do it, Diaz is another one of my favs, but I did not see it worth putting even $5 on Smith, but at -400, I only had Nick in a parlay.

Hey, since none of the other degenerate gamblers seem to be on today, nor have there been new threads, who are you betting on this weekend. Are you finding this card VERY difficult to bet on? I sure am.

I really like Paul Kelly and Terry Etim to both win thier fights, so I’ll be parlaying them.

I’m going to root for Saunders, but at those odds, I am going to bet on Swick.

I am rooting for Cain and he has really been growing on me since he stormed into the UFC back in April last year. Super impressed each time I see him, and his workouts are legendary – already. But is Kongo to big of a step up in competition? NO, Cain is the favorite. Everybody KNEW that Cain and Carwin were the next big things in the HW division. Carwin was a dog against Gabe and he won. Cain is now the FAVORITE against a Top 12 HW. I am a believer in the Brown Pride, but am astonished at him being -200 favorite against Kongo.

I may take Stefan Stuve over Denis Stojnic and also John Hathaway also, but his odds haven’t been on BetUs, only BoDog, and all my BoDog money is tied up on NBA finals props and UFC 100 and 101

And I’ll probably throw a few buck on Wanderlei cuz I am going to be rooting for him like noneother.

As for the other fights, too tough to call, so I would go with all the underdogs on the fights I didn’t mention and would more than likely end up up in the end as far as those fights go, cuz I see at least 2 upsets happeing.

You know I wasn’t even gonna touch this card cause I lost $250.00 off 98 when it was all said and done, and my WEC picks didn’t fare much better either; but F*ck it; $150 on Wanderlei straight money; I still got faith in the Axe Murderer.

ahhhh betting against is something i never thought to do..reverse the curse..
i just can’t pick a winner between franklin and silva (call it my emotions ahaha)
Cain
Saunders
Hardy- just so plastic paddy sticks to davis
Uno
Crocop- cuz i wanna see him in his old form

My wife thinks Wanderlei is going to murder Rich. She only watches a few PPV’s a year but always hears about whats going on because I tell her, LOL.

Her favorites are:
Hughes
Tito
Nick Diaz
Hendo

I know, I only agree with Diaz and Hendo as well. I am still a fan of Hughes since I’ve always been, but he hasn’t been a favorite of mine for years now.

ugh i have no love for her picks..i like diaz when he is not talking..i can’t stand tito..hughes is a bible thumping d*ck (yes a champion that did a lot for the sport) hendo is ok with me..i agree with your take on hughes..you can respect his past that’s about it..
no offense to the wife. i have missed only one ppv in just over 5 years.. they got me, hook line and sinker

yeah that is pretty pathetic

By Canvas I mean the big white floor under Franklins chin painted with advertisements and a pint of his blood. ;)

Did you guys ever stop to think that maybe Jace is in prison and giving up his sex life wouldn’t be such a bad thing?

You’re assuming Jace has a choice if thats the case. :P

I was thinking that if he’s the unwilling recipient then he would gladly lose a few bets if it means that his ass is no longer public domain.

I agree! I like everyone else you got though stink!
You in the Bay today?

u want the 4k??

humm…..

maybe when i lose~ i will mail u a check or something?

Lol; then you’d be losing 8k; I’m not gonna argue with you though, your terms are acceptable. ;P

;)

get real odhgc~

and by “better cause” i know u mean u would just spend it on pizza, chicken wings and weed.

and kevin would spend it all on cocain, whisky and cheap hookers.. and i mean cheap as in he would only have about 40 bucks change from the booze and drugs..

:lol: ~ lol! just kidding guys!

not in the bay today~

It’s not my fault that your mom and sister are cheap and the coke is not bro.
just kidding!

Can I trade the pizza and the chicken wings for the Cheap hookers and the whiskey???

ooooooooooo

Vehemently LOL’ing at all the above.

And no OD, Anderson didn’t put up the dough, but that really doesn’t say anything. Why risk 50 Gs on a guy you know doesn’t enjoy knees to the nose.

eh? Who the hell enjoys that?

Doesn’t look like Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry thats for damn sure
