Well that doesnt make me very confident about the 20 dollars I just threw down on him the other day. Damn, there goes my lunch for the week.

Tanner is a wildcard and a drunk….but if he comes in in good shape focused and ready to go…damn it will be a good fight, but I will have to see that to believe it

LOL… I luv Tanner, but he’s going to get annihilated!

Holy Shit!

‘WILL FERRELL’ is fighting Anderson Silva!!

you bet your week of lunches on Tanner of all people? hope you got odds

i personally think your odds are better to pick Danny Tanner to win this fight better than Evan Tanner. i have also been known as an idiot though.

Rachelle Leah looks so amazingly hot in those pics, if i ever meet her in person i will ask her to marry me on the spot

Who is Frances?

Its quite possible that not one fan in the US will be rooting for okami, not to mention Tanner is the underdog.

If tanner can pull off the victory, the packed house in OH will go crazy and it will set the tone for the rest of the card leading right into the main event where once again, The crowd will be in favor of Dan for sure.

hope tanner isnt drunk…and by the way i jus got done watchin silva and chuck from ufc 79 and im not sure chuck won the 2nd round chuck for sure lost and the 1st was a toss up…i hate that goldberg and rogan were up chucks ass the whole fight,,,that fight was set up for chuck…i cant wait till he dies

arianny looks hot in those pics!!

war tanner!

leznar with an armba round one

yeah its kind of nice seeing arianny with some clothes on for once lol… she looks hottt

lmao

i think evan will win

tanner is a brave man, but okami is really at the top of the division, tanner on the other hand has had a lot of defeats even when he was in his prime

I don’t see him pull this off.

not to mention that okami almost beat franklin a*s and rich annihilated tanner twice when he hadn’t had two years off

Hey Mania.

On ufc.com they are saying that Dana White is making a “special announcement” at UFC 82…

Have you heard anything on what it is about???

THIS IS TOTALY OFF TOPIC!!!!!!!Dana is having a special announcement at ufc 82 does anyone have any inside about this announcement?

UFC 85 May b e televised for free by SPIKE TV. Spike will make a decision soon, but I do here that it was offered to them by the UFC.

EliteXc, who we all know signed a deal with CBS is talking about having Kimbo Slice headline the 1st ever mma Braocast!….. What a shame!

This fight is a total wild card, that has me very hesitant to bet on. Evan Tanner has not fought in two years and we all know what his life has been like during those two years. During those same two years, Yushin Okami has been tearing up the UFC MW division with the exception of Rich Franklin (Rich has Evans number). If Evan Tanner didn’t leave the sport after his fight with Jusin Levens and have his life turn into a turmoil, then I would like Tanner in this fight. A Tanner in his prime would beat Okami right now. But I have no idea what Evan Tanner is going to show up on Saturday.

But if I were to bet, I would bet on Okami, but the odds are currenlty to high at -200. (I did bet some play money on MMAplayground on him though, LOL)

I agree…no one knows what kind of condition Tanner will be in physically or mentally for this fight after all he has been through over the past 2 years. I’m really eager to see the weigh-ins tomorrow to see what kind of shape he comes in. I think Okami will be too strong for Tanner and that will make the difference in this fight. Okami will dictate the pace as he usually does which won’t be terribly exciting but I’d like to see Okami go up against Silva if he retains the belt.

I am not messing with this fight. I just dont bet on guys with damaged livers who havent fought in years! You cant bet on Okami, because then you would have to root for his boring-ass. Watching an Okami fight that you bet on is like pulling teeth…..Trust me, I had him over Swick and even though I won $, it was not fun at all

that’s a nice beard.

I don’t know what’s worse, you making a Full House reference on here or me getting it. At least most of the chicks from that show turned out hot. As far as the fight goes, I wouldn’t trust a guy who’s been playing pirate for two years. If the odds on Okami were better I met throw a few bucks down on him, but my site right now has him at -230.

I really wish i understood these betting figures… then I’d NOT place a bet on this fight!

The site I use (not the one recommended by Mania) has Tanner at plus-185 and Okami at minus-230. This means Okami is the favorite and Tanner the underdog. A $100 bet on Tanner at plus-185 would pay out $185 if he were to win. Conversely, you would have to put up $230 on Okami in order to win $100.

Wow man….look at the colors…..

For those considering wagering money on this fight… CONSIDER THIS:
Okami is going to put Tanner on his back and be able to keep him there, thats for certain. Tanner has an excellent Triangle choke off his back, Okami (like most Japanease fighters) has great submission defense. That is what will determine the fight. Can Okami G n P Tanner for 15 minutes while avoiding getting caught in a triangle choke? Answer that question before laying money on either fighter.

okami wont GnP tanner.he willl try to lay n pray

noway tanner can get okami in a triangle..
okami’s ju-jitsu appears to be top notch.

Do you realize the significance of Evan Tanner out doing David Terrel in there fight concerning the ground game? David Terrel is a crazy good grappler, beat marcelo garcia in a grappling tourny, (maybe abudabi but not sure).

Let me ask you this John, do you not see Tanner and Rich as similar skill level fighters, with similar strenght? Cuz Okami did NOT put Rich on this back, and as far as top position goes, would you not say Tanner is better than Rich? At Least I know Tanner would not get caught in that kimura Rich almost did!

Tanner will win, he will prove to us all he is back. I hope he fights visciously and holds nothing back.

My money is on Tanner! Hopefully with this fight he will prove he is back and show us what he can really do when training full time. In the past he would only train for a month and a half when he knew he had a fight. War Tanner!
