[The HOFF]

I just max bet Ellenberger at -225.

[Vitooch]

I really like Albert over Menjivar. "Prince" looked really great at the TUF Finale.

[Jordan23]

I just max bet Ellenberger at -225.

Are you trying to drive up his line! Damn now I have to max bet his ass too before it gets worse!

[Jordan23]

I'm wondering why UFC on Fuel is more stacked than UFC on Fx... Fx is a bigger network and you'd think they'd get the more stacked card... just a little thought. Either way can't complain about free cards.

[Beelzebubzy]

Only 7 fights?

[YouMama]

who the F watches Fuel TV?

[Jordan23]

who the F watches Fuel TV?

Nobody. I think it is a mistake putting events on Fuel TV. I think the UFC should only put events on Fox and FX and I think eventually that's how it's going to be.

[gabe]

I hope everybody max bets on Ellenberger.

[gabe]

Only 7 fights?

also:

• Bernardo Magalhaes vs. Yoislandy Izquierdo
• Buddy Roberts vs. Sean Loeffler

[Vaughany]

Damn...would be all over Herman at these odds if I had Bovada account..

[Beelzebubzy]

WHAT!!!! How is Herman not a huge favorite here?

[Vaughany]

Good question. Struve is a punching bag and Herman has power!

[Beelzebubzy]

Good question. Struve is a punching bag and Herman has power!

I agree I was expecting -250.
I was going to play that.
Herman has a good chin, I know he doesnt train BJJ but he trains UFC and that is good enough for me

[bjpenn85]

HA HA HA struve is getting KOed AGAIN. And look at them rampage odds

[Vitooch]

I may be in the minority here but i think Herman is overrated and way overvalued here. Olav Einemo is his best win, and Struve has fought much higher quality competition. Herman has power in his hands and Struve likes to stand with people he shouldnt but I really like Struve by submission here.

[Vaughany]

Dont get me wrong, Im not a big fan of Herman or his style...I was gonna go big on Russow before Herman got done for the wacky backy! But I also like to fade Struve a lot as well!

[Beelzebubzy]

Struve sub of the night would be the play vitooch

[5mike5]

i tell ya what blows is my commcast DOES NOT even carry fuel TV....and i got all the channels its just not offered here..

even though its on VOD, but not a channel...wierd...

guess ill just watch it like i do ppv online, oh well...

FX should be airing all fight night events and all UFC programming. I'm tired of having to watch a shitty stream of the prelims and sometimes the main card of a free UFC event when I could be watching it in high quality of Facebook or FX. When will the UFC understand that no one watches that shit channel that airs garbage such as Thrillbillies.

[5mike5]

no doubt..every1 has Fx, clearly not the case for fuel TV

[Vaughany]

Is Ellenberger vs Sanchez 3 or 5 rounds?

There was a prop on 5dimes that fight goes the 5 round distance for +110. I see it's been taken down and the moneyline says 3 rounds now. Can anyone confirm?

Ellenberger was going to be a heavy play of mine although the thought of a 3 round fight versus Diego makes his price a lot less appealing than 5.

3 round fight, my bet on fight going distance was voided

[GunShard]

Ellenberger will defeat Sanchez.

Ellenberger highlight video: He has heavy hands that could be too much for Sanchez.


My previous prediction of giving Dos Santos the slight edge to defeat Cain Velasquez:
Highlight videos of Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez.

I'm going to see how effective it is by using highlight videos to predict fights.

[BIGDAY]

I don't see where Sanchez has a single advantage. Maybe cardio...

I layed a LARGE sized wager on Ellenberger -265 yesterday. Didn't catch the oppener was actually hoping line would go back to where it opened, but all indications were going other way. His line could easily see -350 by fight. Ellenberger should walk through Sanchez imo.

[omalley21]

I agree on ellenberger, but I doubt he finishes sanchez in 3 rounds. Jake by decision for me.

[Beelzebubzy]

I grabbed Ellenberger at -265. I think Diego has a chance of Leonard Garcia-ing his way to a victory.

[brooks85]

hopefully the judges from the kampmann fight don't show up because diego would just have to be himself for a W

[bjpenn85]

Agreed and LOL. Planning on hedging, if yes, what?

[Beelzebubzy]

Agreed and LOL. Planning on hedging, if yes, what?

Diego by decision is the hedge I am assuming.

[Vaughany]

ha fortunately Ellenberger hits like a truck so he should do a lot more damage than Diego! And should look for takedowns as well unlike Martin

[Vaughany]

Anyone else think we get Ellenberger laying down the gauntlet and challenging Condit if he beats Diego? He could drum up the fact that their first fight was a split, and that NBK has nothing but time to kill while GSP is nursing his injury...

Yeah that was my "Ballinblades prediction of next fight" on my thread. Makes sense to me seeing as it was very close and Ellenberger stepped in on two or three weeks notice last time
