i think i gotta take chuck on this one. Id like to see randy win but i dont think he can take chuck at this point in their careers.

btw, which book do you use to bet on mma? i was using sportsinteraction, but now im looking for a good place to bet on mma fights that has low minimums for bets and withdrawls.

My friend went to a UFC event a few years ago. I remember him telling me he would of rathered watched it on tv. That it wasnt that great in person. Not sure if his seats werent that great or what.

I hope you have a good time clonecat, and let us know how it was. If you would go see another live or just opt for PPV.

i'm a huge mma fan

randy has the better skills to win but the age factor is scaring me away from this

randy will be 43 in the middle of this year

he looked pretty good vs van arsdale though

i'd prolly take couture only cause he is the dog but i can't give a stamp of approval on this pick

I'm glad we have alot of mma fans. I didn't think this thread would get much reponse.

Have fun clonecat, someday I'll make it to Vegas to watch a UFC main event.

The odds on the other matches were posted today on Pinnacle. A lot of heavy favorites. Although I have tickets, really don't have any good insight on any of the fights. I am planning on waiting until close to the end and probably just bet all of the dogs. Win two or three out of the eight fights and should be even or a little ahead. Haven't been to Vegas forever and am looking forward to it. Need to find out where my seats are at.

the more i think about lidell/couture, i lose confidence in my pick of liddell. Im not leaning towards randy as much as i completely see this as a toss up. as for the rest of them, i can bet safely on

Mir
Sobral
vera
buentello
jardine
sakara
diaz
