Nice Crocket, I picked Kampmann, but this should be a great battle if it stays on the feet, there will be leather fly’n. and Drew has the power.

Good luck

I placed a $500 bet on Drew McFedries meaning if I’m right I’ll get $1,400. I would love to bet $500 on Chris Lytle but for now I’ll just play safe.

Man, my comment last night looked like Liddell typed it for me. Too much cough syrup I guess

Couple of notes…If Gilliam’s line hits 300 again I will put a bet on him.

If you like Hughes at -500, get it from BetUS soon. All the ohter books have prices of -650 on up, that’s a big bargin.

220 is just not high enough for me to bet on couture, he’s not going to win, all the favorites are gonna win on the main card, the only favorite i would bet against is franklin, but he’s still probably gonna win, its just hard to pass up 400 on a guy as good as mcdonald, i agree with that

I would easily lay -$280 on Sylvia. After a few unsucessful take-down attempts, Randy is going to start looking old, and tired, and without a plan.

Hughes at -$500 is money in the bank. Bet 5K and take home a grand.

MacDonald at $400 is a good insurance policy in the event Sylvia or Hughes is upset. What’s an extra $100?

I really liked the questins this guy was asking. It wasent the typical interview asking what the sport was about, it had questions we all wanted to hear. I think its good that dana is cocky, in order for this sport to rise someone has to be the cocky prez and do whatveer it takes to make it rise.

This Syvias is his chance to prove himself, but his only impressive fights since 2002 was his KO of AA and Ricco.

He’s last 3 were decisions (AA, Monson, Silva), He knocked out a 1-4 Tra Tillagman(Kick)and knocked around two terible fighters in Cabbage and Gan McGee.

He’s the favorite for a reason but, the odds are too good to pass up with Couture bringing in a realistic strategy for a win.

Either way I’m pysched to see how rolls out.
