Didnt have much free time today, but I have been keeping an eye out for new lines on Bodog and BetUs. BetUs now has odds for the Strikeforce event including Dennis Hallman.
I got a Friday Parlay Special on Eddie Alvarez/Dennis Hallman/Joey Villasenor. It pays out +110. I think I’m about to bet triple what I originally bet on this one, something to think about on the drive home!

Dana said his next fight will be against “one of the top guys at 205”. Cane doesn’t fit that criteria just yet. I expect to see him against Jardine after Jardine beats Thiago… or as Alpha and other posters have suggested, Forrest after he loses to Anderson.

Also I dont think Cain should be put against Carwin just yet. Before this fight he was working his way up the ladder and happened to get Kongo who had worked quite high up the ladder. This doesn’t necessarily mean he his ready for the top of the division with only 6 fights under his belt.
He should get Dos Santos. That would be a good test for each other as they are both fairly green and have good wins over successful opponents.

I expect Franklin to fight Forrest or the winner of Silva/Jardine.

McNeil had Franklin beating Silva in all three rounds… maybe I have to watch it again, but how do you not give the 2nd to Wand?

I think having both (Franklin and Davis) of them as guests on the phone right after might have something to do with that. Bit of ass kissing from the panel if you ask me.
Davis is one bitter MOFO. Get over it already. You f*ckin lost.
Also, as much as I wanted Wandy to win I just dont think his performance was enough to warrant it. He definately had Rich hurt to an extent but Rich controlled the stand up and looked in control for most of it and deserved the win. Albeit a close one.
If anyone has a right to complain its Uno…he was robbed for sure and they didn’t even mention it!

yeah, it was a travesty what happened with Caul uno. He totally neutralized Spencer who wasnt able to do ANYTHING. By the 3rd round it looked like Spencer didnt even want to be in there anymore. I thought that Caol had finally BROKE him.
There is no question in my mind that if there was 1 more ropund left in that fight…Uno would have put Spencer away.
THe other decisions were close ones, even if I dont agree with the Wandy decision, it was a close fight that could have been awarded to either fight…It was far from a ROBBERY!
Davis is a bitter old man, what do u expect. I dont think that fight was even close. Hardy came to fight. Marcus did NOTHING…Simple as that!

No way, this show is a lot better.
The HDnet show is so awkward.

you called it right on. inside mma is such an awkward show. they do a really i mean really shitty job on that show given the keys and tools they have to make that show amazing. i used to think if inside mma and mma live were to merge it would be a good show but really mma live is just that much better

Torres is a great fighter, but he sure does suck at this job.

I actually like Torres on this show. His inverted triangle display was nice. He adds something that Kenny doesn’t have and Kenny adds something Miguel doesn’t have. I just don’t like how Franklin always says, “I’m going to go with blah blah blah, HOWEVER…..”

How can you ask your co-commentators about a fight (i.e. Hardy vs Davis) and expect them to give an unprejudiced reaction to the fight when they are American and especially when they know Davis is waiting on the phone!!!!!! Then they blame Wolfs Lair for Kongo’s problems!!!! Actually Kongo was absolute pants before he went to Wolfs Lair his ground game has always been non existent but his standup is far better now since he has been at Wolfs Lair.
I am sorry but Davis never won that fight and from what I have read of the comments on this website alot of people think the same. You can’t have a situation where if someone takes you down they have automatically won that round, its ridiculous. This is MMA unless you are active on top you shouldn’t automatically get the round for just the takedown. I believe you should score points for defencework as well and lets be honest Hardy’s defence work was far better than Davis’s.
Just my opinion but then I am British!!!! and I think Bisping vs Rashad was a draw!!!!
by Nuts on Jun 19, 2009 4:25 AM EDT reply actions
Im American, and I would have said Rashad/Bisping was a DRaw if not a win for Bisping!
I honestly dont see how anyone would think that Davis won that fight. Hardy came to FIGHT! Davis came to WRESTLE!!! Simple as that!

I have just purchased a pack of trip2night from www.narcomundo.com. I paid around 30 dollars and the shipping was free. I emailed them to see how long it will take to get to me, but they have not emailed me back yet. The first week end night I get it I will try it and let you know if I like it or not. I will concentrate more on the things I do not like since the web sites selling it are promoting it enough and that is not my job. My job is to let the world know if there are any areas I do not like. I will get back to this after I try it.
