was really looking forward to that one, stupid exhibition grappling match, I don't see how he got hurt. I feel there may be more to the story, don't know what but there's more

[The HOFF]

The only thing more surprising than DREAM's recent announcement that Kazushi Sakuraba will compete at Tuesday's DREAM.11 event was today's follow-up announcement: Sakuraba (24-12-1) will take on boxer and "The Contender 3" cast member Rubin Williams (0-0) at the event.

Williams, 33, makes his pro MMA debut after an eight-year boxing career that includes a 29-8-1 record (16 knockouts) and a 0-6 mark since early 2008.

[naokothewarrior]

Wow... really?! 0 MMA fights and he has lost his last 6 boxing matches?! I like Sakuraba but I kind of feel bad for this other guy now...

Ooopss....sorry Hoff, i didn't see this thread before I started my own.

I think the BOb Sapp and Soko fight might be a good one to wager on.

I think if you are betting it, you are on the right side. The only way to bet that is Sapp. I would NEVER lay -500 on Sokoudjou.

Minowaman at +145! Just have to wait until it hits one of my books.

Do you have an account here at sportsbook.com?

I opened one before I found out about all of the nightmare stories regarding withdrawal, bounced checks etc.

However....in my experience they have been pretty good to me....

one check...delivered in under 10 days...didn't bounce...

not so bad.

Yeahh...its too bad Hong Man Choi can't take advantage of his freakish size.

[brooks85]

the air-time starts at 7amET so its not live. Event starts at 5am, they are editing

Guess Ill get a couple extra hours of sleep.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

any odds out for Aoki to win by sub?

[RobbReport]

taking Hansen.

[Boddhissatva]

Brooks, the only two fights I'm thinking about wagering on, is Minowa "the Giant Killer" over Hong Choi...

and I'm thinking about making a small wager on Bob Sapp...only because he's +300 and Soko hasn't looked great in his last couple fights.

[illmatick]

played Hansen +175

[RobbReport]

time does it start EST?

[brooks85]

Sapp, looking in great shape atleast...





minowa by ankle lock 2:38 round 1

[Eccocide]

Brooks, you cant be serious lmao. He looked the same when he fought Lashley and went fetal at the first sign of a punch! I'm not saying don't bet on him as Sokojdou is beyond overrated but don't take Sapp's physique into question for anything . Did you see his 'training' video for this fight? He threw a leg kick and almost died of a heart attack

[brooks85]

sapp could easily weigh over 400 pounds like his other fights until he started training, he only weighs 340, he is in great shape. not saying he is going to win but he is in shape.

[Eccocide]

He was in much better 'shape' against Lashley, weighin in at 322lb....his shape has no effect on the fight is all I am saying

[Eccocide]

Not really in love with anything on this card, but I like my chances with DJ Taiki. I was looking at laying it down on him already since hes looked good in his past couple outings, but seeing how drained Miyata looked at the weigh-ins sealed the deal. Guy looked like he was gunna croak right there due to dehydration. Got Hata at -105 at 5dimes for a unit.

[Eccocide]

Here's a pic anyway.

[illmatick]

what time is the broadcast?

[brooks85]

im not even 100% sure but this seems to be right.

Event starts at 5Am EST, broadcast starts at 7am EST- two hour tape delay. It is listed on HDnet schedule as a premiere broadcast, not a live broadcast but HDnet confirmed they were playing it "live," whatever that means. So hopefully no editing and they just play the event beginning to end starting at 7am. Im going to wake up at 5 anyways.

[illmatick]

, making my pot of coffee now

[Eccocide]

Ill, you got like 5 hours. Take a nap then make the coffee...Coffee 5 hours too early = buzzkill and passout

[Eccocide]

To help keep ppl "alert"

[RobbReport]
