What is your twitter Vaughany?

[MMAbetMASTA]

Not really, I think Pierce has a decent chance - especially if Koscheck is overlooking him which he seems to be doing, and I like tht Pierce's strategy is to push forward and put Koscheck on his heels. Kos isnt the great striker that he seems to think he is, and we've never seen him display any counter-striking skills as he's never been on the back foot (except when GSP jabbed him to death). Just think tht Koscheck does have more ways to win and if it goes distance Koscheck is likely to get the nod just because he'll be the one with top position more often than not if it goes to the ground. If Pierce does push forward then Koscheck probably will revert back to looking for take-downs as he'll be out of his comfort zone - he likes to push forward sticking out the left hand and throwing the big overhand right...not easy to do tht when u are backing up

Agree...

I'm leaning on pierce as of right now, especially with odds value in mind. However I think kos is a rightful fav and that on paper I'd pick him to win.

However, considering pierce hasn't really been taken down and kept there for a long period of time by the great wrestlers he's faced (although I know the much larger coy and munoz kind of had thier way in teh wrestling with him earlier in his career), I have a hard time seeing kos being successful with tds followed by dominant ground control. I actually give pierce the better jitz too. Kos has better offensive wrestling, but I think pierce has some of the best defensive wrestling in the game and I think kos might have a hard time dealing with that.

However, as you said and as Scottie said on Kamikaze Overdrive said, I think people are incorrect by saying kos has better stand up.

I think pierce hs much better technique and a more diverse striking arsenal. He's also got a great chin, somthing that might be questionable for kos. If pierce can keep it off the mat and not let kos smother him, I could see him winning a dirty boxing match. I think it would be damn close and probably another split for pierce, but definitely possible, or at least its something I can envision.

Don't think it will happen, but I have a small gut feeling pierce could tko and stop kos - drop him via overhand or close quarters hook and pound him out.

I put 75 on him at -195, might double that as I research more. Either way a close fight and kos is rightfully faved, but I think pierce is a VERY live dog.

GL this weekend bruddah!

Adding:


10 units on Thompson (-250), & Ellenberger (-250) to win 9.6 units.

[Beelzebubzy]

+1 on Wonderboy - I think this is a complete mismatch skill wise. As long as Stiggen doesnt lay and pray, I do not think he will be able to survive all three rounds
I am playing Ellenberger small. Diegos Leonard Garcia-esque air punching and chin always makes me worry about betting against him, but I think Jake is going to be too big and strong. Plus, Guida was able to take Sanchez down so I believe Jakes double leg will do the same.

Adding:


4.9 units on Cope by Decision at +650 to win 31.85 units;

hedged with:

15 units on Matt Brown at -300 to win 5 units.

[Vitooch]

GL V, I'm on Brown but I like the hedge.

No chance Cope finishes Brown!

[Mr.Kitty]

Hey V, do you intend to let all you plays including Condit ride?

I am beginning to like Condit more and more but looking at Diaz by decision at +290 hedged with Condit straight up at +180.

[Vitooch]

If you don't mind me chiming in, I think Condit by TKO is better value than Condit SU. Condit is not submitting Diaz and if this fight goes to the later rounds Diaz has the cardio advantage.

[Mr.Kitty]

If you don't mind me chiming in, I think Condit by TKO is better value than Condit SU. Condit is not submitting Diaz and if this fight goes to the later rounds Diaz has the cardio advantage.

Oh no not at all. I just think Condit could win a decision a small portion of the time so I feel more comfortable to bet him str8 up then soly rely on him getting the (T)KO. Both guys are super resilient which makes me hesitant to play Condit by (T)KO. I see you point tho, Diaz cardio is no joke! We know that Condit has a more diverse skillset standing with kicks, knees and elbows but the question is how effective he will be if hes constantly forced to move backwards. More unlikely things has happened then Condit winning a decision in this situation. Evangelista found success with legkicks against Diaz and we saw Cerrone have success against Nate when he did throw kicks. Condit has fought better competition and Diaz won´t have the reach advantage either (74 " against Condits 76").

It will be a very interesting fight no matter the outcome, love watching both guys fight.

[Vaughany]

GL V, I'm on Brown but I like the hedge.

No chance Cope finishes Brown!

I've got Brown in a couple of parlays and Brown inside in a parlay so this is just a back-up

[Vaughany]

Hey V, do you intend to let all you plays including Condit ride?

I am beginning to like Condit more and more but looking at Diaz by decision at +290 hedged with Condit straight up at +180.

Im semi-letting it ride! At the moment I'm not gonna arb out with Diaz straight up. I'm gonna have Fight starts Round 2 and starts Round 3 in a few parlays as back up so as long as Diaz doesn't win round 1 I'll be okay. If none of those parlays are still alive going in to the fight then I will have to consider arbing with Diaz straight up.

[Vaughany]

Last Primetime...amazing episode... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x2IhB9xaMs

Great moment when woman asks Diaz for his Superbowl pick and he's like "No"! "Who playin"!

[Vaughany]

Added:


11.5 units on Figueroa at -115 to win 10 units.


Still not fully sold on Bruce Leroy. He looked a lot better against Escovedo, considerably more composed, however I think Cole's horrible performance contributed to this. Cole had no idea how to throw a combination or time a punch and was hopeless with the couple half-hearted take-down attempts he had. Like Figueroa up to -125 in this one. Caceres will probably have slight size and cardio advantage, and will definitely be quicker and could take a decision just by landing more kicks and throwing flashy stuff tht wows the judges. Figueroa was very slow and wild in the McDonald fight but you have to take into account the very short notice tht he came in on for tht one. Against Reinhardt he looked in a lot better shape and was more controlled and methodological with his striking. Although Bruce Leroy is quick and bounces around a lot, I still have reservations about his defence - he doesn't have any head-movement, leaves his chin out there, and there are opportunities to exploit his flashy striking. I think Figueroa has the aggressiveness and power to exploit these deficiencies and either finish Leroy in the second half of the fight or at least do enough to get the decision. Depending on whether Sportbet offer more props I may add fight goes distance in a parlay or Caceres by decision as back up.

Hedging with:


3.326 units on Caceres by Decision at +310 to win 10.311 units;

0.374 units on Caceres by Decision at +350 to win 1.309 units.


Will make 6.3 units if Figueroa wins, 0.12 units if Caceres wins by decision, or will lose 15.2 units if Caceres wins inside the distance.

hahaha "to the lost"... love it. great show

[PunisherIND]

V, did you end up making a play on Condit/Diaz FOTN?? just curious what numbers you have seen. even though i wasnt thrilled with the line, i made a small play at +105. i see its at -160 on 5D now.

[Mr.Kitty]

Alright, living on the edge, I like it! Best of luck tonight and lets hope Condit pulls the upset!

I got it at +175, which I think was the 5d opener. I think bookmaker opened at +150. At -160, I think I would have to play the other side though.

damn, you had to act quick to get that line.

[omalley21]

I got +175, +140 on Diaz FOTN at 5dimes, was hoping for higher.. Saw it at +175 briefly on bookmaker too.

I have but at the moment it's risk free as I got Not FOTN on Sportbet at +120 and +105 and got FOTN at +125, and a small amount (due to limits) on it at +187.5 and +150. So at moment I'll make 7.429 units profit if it is FOTN or money back if not. Been debating all day whether to go bigger although that was before I found tht skybet have now limited these type of props as well, otherwise I'd of probably put at least 20 units on it straight up at +150 without hedging. There are a lot of other fights tht should be entertaining, but just find it hard to imagine this not being at least a 3 to 5 round war and it getting the nod. May add another 10 units or whatever Im allowed to if one of the other Euro books offers it

[Vaughany]

Highest I've seen it was +190 on Sportingbet which I foolishly didnt take as I thought other sites would release soon after and perhaps have it at +200

[PunisherIND]

i was hoping for +200 also. best i saw was +125 on 5D and while i was hesitating it moved to +115, then +105. so i grabbed it.

GL hope we all cash.

[CTM]

FOTN was +175 on 5dimes?? God dammit. I was glued to that site for the opener, best I saw was +130. With bookmaker opening at +150 or whatever and being quickly bet down to +115, why would 5d go for 175?

Ah well, I grabbed +130 and +115. Also betting condit straight up, gotta think the only way this doesn't win fotn is an early condit win.

[DigBick86]

nice and much appriciated work as usual will tail you on Pierce for 2X will probably put the same or more on condit at least one is gonna upset

Although I'm not on Pierce!? I think he has a decent chance but I expect Koscheck to take a decision

Last thoughts on Diaz vs Condit:


Overall I think the value is definitely with Condit at current odds of +160 to +185.


Key reasons why you might favour Condit:

- Diaz doesnt have the reach advantage that he's enjoyed in past fights which is clearly quite integral to his style of fighting;

- Condit's resilience. I'm quite surprised that so many expect Diaz to finish Condit inside the distance. It's definitely possible, but I don't think the chances of it happening warrant the +120 to +175 range odds that I've seen Diaz Inside Distance at on 5dimes/Sportbet. The fact that it's gone from +120 to +175 during the week shows that majority have taken Diaz by decision as this has fallen from +250 range to current +185. Condit has one of the best chins in the business, his ability to recover and remain composed after being dropped is second to none (see Ellenberger fight). Obviously you can only rely on ur chin for so long and the fact tht fighters have shown tht they have a great chin isnt necesarily a good thing as it means they are getting hit! Nonetheless, Diaz's style is to wear down his opponents with cumulative damage rather than one-punch KO damage, and relies on his opponents quitting or getting exhausted from the barrage of punches to the face and body and overall pace tht Nick sets. Unlike the likes of Cyborg, BJ and Semtex, Condit wont quit or gas out early;

- Condit learning from Cerrone/Nate? Condit has the advantage of having seen what NOT to do against a Diaz by having witnessed the Cerrone fight only recently against Nate. A Condit backer would like to think that he and Jackson have sat down and recognised that you can't get caught up in a brawl with the Diaz's - there were many references to this in the Primetime and Countdown show so I personally am very confident tht Condit is not going to make similar mistakes to Cerrone. The one thing Cerrone did right for intermittent periods of the fight was use leg kicks. As many have referred to, Condit has a wide variety of strikes, and can certainly take advantage of Diaz's lack of footwork by attacking Diaz's lead leg and working angles. Another thing that Condit will hopefully learn from Cerrone's poor judgement is that you can't be scared of getting in to Diaz's guard. I do believe tht part of the reason Cerrone didnt follow Nate to the ground after he fell from the leg-kicks in the second round was due to him getting caught up in the brawling mentality. As already mentioned, I dont think Condit will make tht mental mistake of getting caught up in a "face-punching" competition so will happily go to the ground if necessary. I also think he wont be scared of going to the ground either and will be confident enough in his abilities to hang with Diaz. Getting the odd trip takedown and having some top control could make a massive difference as a) it could be looked on favourably by the judges; and b) would be the best opportunity to cut Diaz open with elbows...which again would have advantages in both in that the judges will see it as damage, could lead to a stoppage, and can effect Diaz's sight. Taking advantage of Diaz's easily cuttable skin is something tht Condit may well look to exploit with elbows;

One possible variable that might effect Condit is the fact that he could well be overtrained for this fight. Condit has been in camps for several fights tht have changed over past 6 months or so. This could effect his ability to peak at the right time and thus adversely effect his usually impeccable cardio and power. Werdum has said that he was over-trained going in to the Overeem fight due to fights getting cancelled and not getting a break from training. Also, Carlos hasn't been past round one since June 2010.

I'm looking forward to the fights tonight. Good luck with your picks. My only play for tonight is going big on Werdum. Werdum is my biggest play of 2012 so far.

GL tonight. I personally think Condit/Diaz should be around EV.

I think 2-3 dogs hit in the main card tonight.
