im not seeing odds on the ellenberger fight on my site, but -150 is ridiculous

put all my money on bocek and a mousasi/gsp/aldo/machida parlay which has been working out just great

So is it a push or a loss if a parlay goes draw/win/win/win?

Hominick doesn't defend leg kicks too well.

This thread has been dead lately but today I saw what looks like a great line:

Cowboy Cerrone at even or +105. To me, Cowboy seems like a favorite in this fight. Good stand up and strong takedown defense against a BJJ wizard with energetic but not very good striking seems like a win for the Cowboy.

His wrestling used to suck, but then he had his rematch with Varner (I know...) and he completely dominated the wrestling aspect, something he had been destroyed in their first match. Varner sucks overall, but he has good wrestling credentials. Kelly's wrestling isn't bad for a Brit and he was briefly taken down once in that fight after stuffing several, and completely neutralized Rocha's takedowns. I'd have to imagine Oliveira's takedowns won't be much better than those recent opponents.

In the very least it is a dramatically improved wrestling game.

Oliveira took down Nik Lentz and Efrain Escuedero, both of whom were successful college wrestlers, and you think his takedowns "won't be much better" than an undersized Brazilian and an Englishman?

Oliveira is technically an undersized Brazilian. Efrain looked completely lost and terrible in that fight after blowing his weight cut, and I didn't see the Lentz fight. This is why I am posting this, I am not sure if I am overvaluing Cerrone here.

I don't think Rampage is going to win, but seeing sites offering >+400 on him is semi tempting. I don't think his odds are that long to win this fight. He's a big underdog, but he's still a hard to finish guy with lots of power.

My only great regret in life is I did not just send that 20 dollars to Mark Coleman in an envelope.

I remember mma daydreaming about telling my friends I just made 62 dollars on Mark Coleman beating randy couture.

I told my friends who were staying over that night that if Coleman won I was paying for dinner the next day. They suggested that if I really had faith in Coleman I would pay for dinner before the PPV, but luckily it was my birthday and they remembered they had already agreed to buy me dinner for that. Not that I would have bought them dinner ahead of time, but it was lucky I didn't have my faith in Coleman tested.

I got in on Brenneman at +180. I'm not convinced he's the real deal since Story was fighting weeks after his last fight, but he can probably outwrestle Rumble. I also put some money on Barry at -200. I was going to put some money on Mighty Mouse but then I remembered he was out wrestled by a British person and reconsidered.

I was going to run a Stun Gun/Phan/Gus/Fitch parlay and swapped Phan out for Volkmann realizing that might be a bad pick. I felt like such a genius when he lost and then all I had left was to wait for Jon Fitch to ride to victory.

The most valuable line I see right now is in Meisha Tate @ +240 vs Rhonda Rousey @ -300. Rousey has had about 5 minutes total in the cage and Tate is a pretty good overall fighter with more MMA experience. What are your guys' thoughts?

But Rousey knows JUDO!

That actually seems like a pretty good underdog bet.

Chael should be a much bigger favorite than he is. Looks like just about even odds, which is nuts.
I'm seeing Overeem at about -205, which is probably right. There's not really a way for him to lose this fight but I have faith that he can find one.
Alacantara shouldn't be such a dog against Faber, but I'm still not sure he has it
Brown's a slight favorite and he's probably going to lose
Brandao is about -250 vs Pineda and I'd call the odds on that one even if not slightly favoring Pineda

Bet on MMA, someone.

Chael has never been much at 205 and he has the same cardio problems Shogun has, so he doesn't have one of the key advantages others have.
