UFC 162: Silva vs Weidman - Page 6

sarcasm-o-meter blew up

Silva can loose and its only if he gets wrestlefucked, but there is no fucking way that somebody is going to exploit his rolling by throwing combinations with the same arm ffs.

Actually if you see Okami he throws many jab-jab combos and Silva rolls left/right but still dodges it effortelessly even when he is rolling on the opposite side he should.

The guy says that Silva easily exploited Belfort's pumping style striking well, Belfort is probably the 2nd best striker in middle weight and if he is easily exploited by Silva who in the fuck is going to exploit silva in the standup, a professional boxer only.

I plan to be betting $2 across the board on all of my 27 MMA picks and MMA parlays. 5dimes has all the current lines up to date. weidman is dead money, anderson silva is GOAT

God damnit just when i thought Silva was going to win Khan roots for him, he is doomed now

Still think Silva may lose here, can't wait to see this fight

Lol the Weidman hype train is even bigger than the Dan Hardy hypetrain before the GSP fight.
Back then a lot of people thought Hardy has a legit chance.
I was like no fucking way Hardy doesnt even belong in this fight and has zero outs !

Now even at my Gym half the MMA fighters suddenly think Weidman will win >-<
I say Silva by KO

But i hope for Weidman
Just dont see it happening

Dude, there is a world of difference between the skill levels of Hardy and Weidman.

Hardy had a somewhat decent standup and nothing else really, Weidmans bjj and wrestling are legit as fuck, his standup is not bad either, he probably couldnt hang with Silva standing for a long period of time, but he has a decent chance of taking him down and subbing him.

Baalim, with correct odds I would be willing to bet against you. Maybe someone neutral gives us a vig free line that seems fair and we can agree on it ? Throwing in some money might juice it up for me, but with current odds I am not interested in betting big on Weidman anymore.

Lol

Ofc Weidman is much better than Dan Hardy...
That wasnt my point.

My Point is that Anderson Silva is still much better than Weidman
And should be a hughe favourite.
But the Hypetrain for Weidman has gotten out of control .... he is like +200 currently
And every 2nd Person i know thinks Weidman has a solid chance to win.

Silva comes of 4 spectacular KO wins and has looked better than ever he is undefeated for years and probably the best mixed martial artist P4P
Silva is just unreal good.

Weidman has only fought 2 good guys so far

Weidman has a great chance to win. MMA is all about styles, and this is about as bad of a match-up for Anderson as Chael was. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised at a Weidman by decision result. If he can get a takedown in 3 of the 5 rounds he'll basically win those rounds caz Anderson has never shown any chance of getting up off his back once he is down there. All he does is try to stall and hope the ref stands them up. We'll know if Weidman is a -300 favorite or a +1000 dog after the first round imo, If Anderson can stuff enough takedowns and keep it on the feet, like the second round of his second fight w Chael, then Weidman is fucked. The most over-hyped part of this fight is people thinking Weidman will have a prayer of a chance at standing with Anderson.

I think Weidman will be able to land atleast 3 takedowns in this 5 round fight. And that's why Weidman has won my bet.

lol what people do you discuss MMA with? It was pretty much universal agreement that Dan Hardy was drawing nearly dead in that fight save a super lucky punch.

Pretty surprised Lyoto gave no prediction. Wonder if he's butthurt that Anderson pretty much picked Jones to beat him.

well its pretty simple, we just meet halfway pinnacle odds, to make it simple i wanna bet enough to book $100 if Silva wins, let me know if you agree or somebody else wants to.

If a brazilian didnt blindly root for his countryman theres gotta be something else going on for sure.

Only Andrew Craig opened with a good line, everything else seemed kind of one sided. I missed the Craig opening line though.

By the way, the odds/line chart above automatically updates. I know some people have said, "I thought I saw Leben at -150 earlier..."

FYI halfway isnt really halfway.

example. suppose an outrageous scenario where one fighter is +100 and the other is -900. the "midpoint" of these is +/- 500. however, fighter A is 50% to win based on the line and fighter A is 10% to win based on the other line, thus. the midpoint of these % is 30%, which corresponds to +/- 233. to find vig free line you have to do it in this method, not just by cutting the difference in half

No one thought Dan Hardy had a chance. Vegas had him as a huge dog to GSP.

I knew it wasnt exact, but thanks for clarifying it

chris leben is my favorite fighter to watch
