2) what are the betting odds for cm punk's fight and a point of reference? ie gall is as big as a favorite as rousey was in her prime. (i dont follow betting odds at all)

thanks

Looks like the line is about -300 for Gall to +275 for Punk. That means people are fairly confident Gall will win. To put into context -100 to +100 is still more or less a toss up. When Rousey fought her lines were usually something like -900 to +300 which means people expected a blow out in Rouseys favor. I'm always a little confused on this myself but what I think those odds mean is that you'd have to bet $300 on Gall to win $100. Meanwhile if you bet $100 on Punk you'd win $275.

Cerrone's on today's JRE. Dude's awesome.

GSP to announce his return on UFC Tonight tomorrow vs Conor for UFC 205 in MSG? That's the rumor.

I don't like his chances after seeing how easily Segal handled him.

I don't buy it, makes more sense for GSP to headline UFC 206 in Toronto

Have a New York guy headline MSG

 

[RBelong2Us]

no way it happens. McGregor will only have thoughts of 170 again if he demolishes Eddie.

I just hate that Alvarez is gonna potentially get this huge money fight while ducking dudes.

We are in a state of some whack champs. Eddie found his way to a title shot after two AWFUL fights then catches RDA. Now this no ratings grabbing bitch thinks he can demand things.

Same for Woodley, my goodness this dude is whack. Nobody wants to see this clown that got literally demolished by Marquardt fight at all and he thinks he should be getting big fights.....NO FIGHT WITH YOU IN IT IS A BIG FIGHT BRUH! This bish was in Straight Outta Compton for 2 seconds of screen time and now thinks he's some legit star.

 

[Brerlappin]

Have to agree. Woodley and Alvarez are two of the lamest champs in recent memory. Even as someone who watches almost every PPV/Fox card per year, I was like "who the fuck is this guy again?" when Alvarez beat RDA.

Woodley is just yet another god bothering personality vacuum. How he got where he is now boggles my tiny mind

 

[zewone]

Cerrone and Rogan mentioned he's the possible MSG headliner.

He and his opponent already took some promotional photos.

Jake Shields outboxed Woodley for three rounds

Woodley is garbage

sounds more like GSP vs Woodley..blah.

if they were smart itd be Woodley vs Wonderboy and make that dude a star. Hes one of the most exciting fighters out there and is gonna take apart Woodley.

Best thing about Woodley is Woodley's mom.

I meant that Cowboy was the headliner.

I couldn't imagine who he would fight that would make the headline. Maybe Alvarez? GSP?

lol really? didnt he want a fight with robbie?

 

[iddqd]

If its GSP, then good luck.
Cerrone got demolished by RDA but his recent track record has been great.
I thought Story would be too strong for Cowboy but he put some Mortal Kombat on that guy.

I would have thought there HAS to be a belt on the line for NY. So maybe the 155one?
Would make sense because Cerrone talked about his next fight being at 155.

Larkin beat the crap out of Magny yet stays behind him in rankings.....makes sense

 

[RBelong2Us]

GSP on UFC Tonight said he wants Woodley, Maia, or Older Diaz in Toronto

Diaz is stupid....wonderboy vs Woodley should happen at MSG.

Maia should take it ..honestly its a bigger accomplishment beating GSP than getting these whack belts.

Apperantly UFC isnt really working with him much though in terms of getting things going.

 

[alr1ght]

All of those fights are boring. At least with Diaz the buildup will be fun.

Who started the GSP vs Conor rumor? I can't believe people believed it.....

GSP vs Maia could be good or Woodley, big meh to Nick Diaz

 

[zewone]

GSP vs. Lawler would be fun.

 

[eXtv]

GSP vs. Lawler would be fun.

GSP disagrees, which is why he waited for Lawler to lose the belt to make his return.

 

[brentech]

Decent fights on first episode of TUF. Second fight, dude got ate up. Looked scared and pretty hard to believe he was the champ of anything.

 

[RBelong2Us]

who you guys got this weekend? glad its in the am here, got crap to do.

I think pitbull finishes Barnett.

[juliushandle]

Mickey Gall grappling against Gordon Ryan who is BJJ's current golden boy. Wholly shit is CM Punk in trouble. Gall will submit Punk within one round. Gall actually did very well against Ryan. Gall is a much better grappler than I thought he'd be. He's a legit BJJ brown belt.

Not into any of this, holding up another division / getting rid of a great contender like Maia is lame.
We already saw the Diaz thing.

Who else is at 170? Or who is a 155er with weight issues?
Cerrone, Diaz (younger), Barboza, Anderson Silva at 180?

Meh, GSP go home and be a family man!

 

[Fox318]

It's a tough weight class to fight in.

Hell even somebody I know who is getting ready for his first amature fight is having issues finding an opponent.

Woodley must be praying to the lord every night that the powers that be grants him the GSP fight.

I wouldn't want to waste my 6'3-6'10 230-265 frame to get paid 20K/20K and get punched in the face by overweight dudes either. They could make far more money just being on the practice squad of a lot of sporting teams. It makes sense for guys who couldn't make it to that athletic level to move over to MMA like Mitrione and Shawn Jordan.

Did you watch the heavyweight season of Ultimate Fighter? Even with Kimbo, Roy Nelson, Brandon Schaub and Matt Mittrione it was an absolute disaster, almost every fight had one or both fighters completely gassed after the first round =/

Should have been Jon Jones after he beat Cormier. Most of those young kids have been grooming themselves for greener pastures and being poached as early as middle school. Not training themselves to get that Reebok pay.
