If he keeps that up, Roy should be able to make 205, he'd be a *beast* in that division.

Press conference at 4 ET. This kind of information would have been in the OP if I made the thread.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Huh, and BE said it wasn't going to be on youtube or ustream. Then they linked to MMAfighting and that's where the UFC's vid player is.

That's mma journalism for you.

 

[Plywood]

How the fuck does Roy grow beards that fast?

Then again the thread was made like a month ago so obviously he forgot.

Speak for yourself man, I love watching good MMA every weekend.

QFT, I am perfectly fine with having a free fight 2-3 weeks in a row followed by a PPV with a compelling main event...like 143.

On paper the main event has all the markings of a classic and IMO a much more interesting event than GSP/Diaz.
I like GSP, it's clear he's done a lot for the sport but he's forgotten how to fight exciting so I'm likely rooting for whoever wins this weekend to take GSP out. Personally I hope it's Diaz because he is that special sort of crazy that makes people want to watch, and he can fight like a mofo.
I was at 137 surrounded by Hawaiians and squealed like a little school girl every time Penn took another good shot (which was a lot). By the end of the main event my wife was sure we were going to get lynched (or whatever Hawaiians do to people... bbq?... poi?)

 

[Chamber]

Stop blaming the Gawd that nobody is on his level.

[TheNatural]

I thought Diaz ran out the back door again for a minute.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

NBK looks sharp in that suit.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Listening to Diaz talk is painful. Ugh.

 

[AiTM]

Carlos looks like hes about to go door to door selling Bibles right now

 

[TheNatural]

Ask big Roy some questions, damn.

 

[Chamber]

Youtube needs to give the option of turning off live comments.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL @ Koscheck not giving a fuck about his team.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Youtube needs to give the option of turning off live comments.

Seriously, I was about to ask here how to do that since I thought you could. Ugh.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL fan question shot down lamely.

 

[Balehead]

So glad Diaz keeps it short with these dumb questions.

And wtf was that.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

This guy sound like Eric Forman.

 

[Chamber]

Did that guy just get on the mic to tell Dana he had a good time at the last show?

 

[AiTM]

someone please ask roy why he wont go to 205 or even 185.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Awful.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL "thats pretty much what it means."

Don't even bother asking Nick shit.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

lol at Nick's short replies.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Huh, Nick actually shook his hand. I was expecting a "fuck you", middle-finger, then shoving.

 

[yacobod]

You're in danger of losing a decision to GSP and you're teeth to Condit.

LOL

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Yeah that comment was hilarious. That's why he shook Condit's hand, real recognize real. I wouldn't be too bummed if Condit beat Diaz because Condit is a fucking fighter like Nick.

 

[yacobod]

http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Pros-Pick-Diaz-vs-Condit-39773

15 pros picked Diaz versus only 3 for Conduit.

 

[Norml]

I wonder how many fighters can do that.

 

[TheKaeptain]

 

[Norml]

[

that such a badass pic lol. is the 2nd GSP?

 

[agrajag]

Condit, Werdum, Koscheck.

 

[JCtheMC]

What's with the GSP trolling in the OP? Is that necessary?

 

[TheKaeptain]

What's with the GSP trolling in the OP? Is that necessary?

See Yacobod has a crush on GSP and he fights the urges he gets when he sees him by trolling/talking shit about him.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I wonder how many fighters can do that.

Just looks so bad......... I have an idea though, it might get me a visit from the Diaz boys to put a stomping on me.

Bad paint is the best paint.

 

[Maklershed]

Hey good friends, could someone tell me the betting odds for the main card? I'd check myself but I'm at work and I'm blocked.

[Heel]

I feel like there's no underdog I'd trust my money with on this card. I say this knowing I pick main event underdogs wrong with 100% accuracy.

You guys see anything?

Alex Caceres. Ohterwise just parlay up and you'll be ok.

For example, the ChefRamsay Bet The Farm™ Certified Pick® With 100% Accuracy! would be Koscheck.

 

[MjFrancis]

I would put money down on Bruce Leeroy and a modest amount on Condit. Just in case.

 

[Heel]

For example, the ChefRamsay Bet The Farm™ Certified Pick® With 100% Accuracy! would be Koscheck.

I actually think this fight is going to be a grind that could go either way. I'd put money on Pierce before I did Koscheck. The odds aren't worth the risk, though.

I'd never put money on Bruce Leeroy, especially at +105, but that's just me.

 

[parrotbeak]

I got Roy Nelson winning this although that's hardly any odds.

 

[Chamber]

I got Roy Nelson winning this although that's hardly any odds.

Yeah, +120 isn't really doing anything for me. Condit is a decent pick though.

 

[parrotbeak]

Heel, are you picking Roy? If so I need to change my sherdog.

 

[op_ivy]

Matt Riddle (-475) vs. Henry Martinez (+325)

i have no idea who Henry Martinez is, but wow, he must be some kind of terrible!

 

[Heel]

Yeah, +120 isn't really doing anything for me. Condit is a decent pick though.

Warning: I'm picking Conduit

Heel, are you picking Roy? If so I need to change my sherdog.

Warning: I'm picking Werdum

 

[parrotbeak]

Warning: I'm picking Werdum

Perfect, thanks.

 

[Impeccable]

I think it's quite possible that Chris Cope wrestle-owns Matt Brown.

 

[oneHeero]

Cant wait to watch the fight, hoping Diaz pulls of the win but man is Condit a scary beast.

Can someone give me an example of the kind of returns you guys get on the betting? I've never done sports gambling before, in anyway (outside pot tickets lol). How do I read the lines? I assume (+105) means you'd win more for betting on him vs (-105)? Can someone give me an example of $20-$100 type bets, like the payouts? Genuinely curious.

+105 means you bet $100 to win $105. -$105, you bet $105 to win $100.
