My bets for tonight:
$50 on Story at +150
$50 on Forte at -130
$100 on Condit at -190
$200 on shields at +180

depending on how the first few fights go I might throw 50 on Sanchez just because I hope he wins

Lawler seems like a live underdog as well. With his power wouldn't be a bad idea to throw some coin on him.

Thought Story won the last two rounds against Kelvin, really close and great fight though.

Night was ruined by Condit's knee, further ruined by Hendricks. I wonder if him and Dana are going to apologize for all the whining they did about "look at GSP's face and look at Johny's" because if you apply the same criteria here Lawler won.

To be clear, Hendricks won 1,2,5 and it wasn't really that close, 1 was probably the closest round.

good lord what a fight, Robbie Lawler looked more impressive to me, his head movement and parrying were incredible. He landed the harder and cleaner shots but I understand the 48-47 score.

I thought round 1 and 2 were pretty close, Johnny's leg kicks and activity may have got him those rounds. Felt like Robbie was baiting him all night and that he wins a rematch.

good final fight, but I feel the night was kind of boring. Also think if Lawler wasn't such a cocky bitch he could/should have won.

What do you mean, how was he cocky? Thought the card overall was very good from the first prelims on.

I scored the fight 48-48 for a draw. Last round was a 10-10 for me. I value TD defense as much as a TD itself.

Yeah, I don't like Hendricks for the fact that all he did leading up to and after the GSP fight was whine.

I wonder if he pulled a muscle in his leg or something in camp, I would have liked to have seen a headkick or two thrown in while Hendricks was rocked.

He really didn't kick at all which was strange, maybe he didn't wanna be taken down off of it.

Lawyer started taking over the fight in the 3rd round when he actually did throw some kicks. If he threw a few simple leg kicks the whole fight I think he wins. I'm guessing he didn't throw the kicks because he was scared of being taken down

So many good matchups to make at WW.

Woodley/Hendricks - I don't think Woodley has really earned it, but he could certainly win it.
Diaz/Lawler/Stun Gun - Pretty much any combo of those guys fighting would be good.
Rory/Lombard - winner get a title shot.
Condit/Shields - depending on how long Condit is out.

You also have to throw Matt brown in there somewhere especially if he wins again

I think Woodley would get smashed by Hendricks, he is a very inactive fighter. Throws one big right hand then nothing, gets a huge takedown then nothing. Doesn't blend his skills at all. Huge gas tank issues as well.

Yeah, I left him off because he is booked with Sliva right now.
