UFC 191: Johnson vs. Dodson 2 - Page 4

MMA Gods please bless us with the throwing of PVZ to JJ already and let us enjoy that moment. PVZ is a warrior so maybe she'd make it past 2:30 of the first. Hell, maybe JJ just plays with her food for a round.

No matter what, it would be a glorious day.

And I bet JJ would only be like a 7:1 favorite or something absurd like that. Would throw the house down. If I owned one, I might literally throw it down.

Regarding Alex Chambers, now I just noticed her submission line opened at +1850 and is currently +1600, while her current ML is +950.

You might as well sprinkle a couple bucks on her submission line since it's the only* way she can win.

No way on earth they give PVZ to JJ any time soon. Unless matchmakers suddenly got really high. Or PVZ starts looking like shit and they feel like they need to cash her out. Which I don't think will happen (actually am relatively high on PVZ for what she is) but I just don't see her skillset ever improving enough for her to challenge JJ with any seriousness. Not only is JJ a monster...seems like a bad style matchup for PVZ

I completely agree with everyone you said.

I just want it.

They just announced JJ vs Letuernau at 193 so JJ can get that Rousey shade and squash the shit out of Letuernau (I'm happy for JJ, it's a big deal for her career because I think a lot of girls, not even close to most... but a lot, will end up liking her as much as Rousey)

(all my bets are embedded in first page spoiler)

Weigh-in bets:
Jimi Manuwa > Anthony Johnson 437 $25.00 to win 109.25 (bad bet, just want Manuwa to win)

Andre Arlovski > Frank Mir -150 $97.50 to win 65 (Already big on Arlovski or Mir rd 1 KO, now I'm even more sure, Mir was fat and 'Dre looked great)

Joe Riggs vs Ron Stallings = Under 2.5 rds +105 $75.00 to win 78.75 (Riggs looked fat and terrible and probably gonna go for it in rd 1)

Felder wins in Rd 2 400 $20.00 to win 80 (just saw odds and liked em :D)

----------

- Frank Mir is the heaviest he has ever been. He weighed 262 for his last fight, irrc. He mentioned after his last fight that he weighed in heavy on purpose, that he feels good weighing more.

- Jimi Manuwa looked softer than his last appearance, so I checked his last weigh-in and I was right; today he was 204, and he was 206 in April 2015. Manuwa said he had a torn ACL and MCL after his last fight and would need surgery. Nobody knows what his exact knee issue was at the time, but he did have some type of knee issue. Also, if he had either an ACL or MCL tear, he 100% wouldn't be healed by now. If he does have a lingering knee injury, it makes more sense that he weighs 2 pounds less for tomorrow's fight.

- Raquel Pennington looked the best she ever has, which includes her Invicta and UFC weigh-in appearances.

- Joe Riggs moved up from 170 for this fight because he hated the way he looked, and probably didn't feel that great either. He last fight (a loss to Patrick Cote) was a grapple-fest, and aside from that fight, Cote has looked relatively good in his return to the UFC. During today's weigh-in, Riggs didn't look amazing, and he was overweight by 1.5 pounds. Right after he missed weight, a bunch of bookies pulled the line on Riggs.

- Joaquim Silva has fought at 170 before, and is a natural 155`er, while Malegarie is coming up in weight for this fight. Malegarie is usually a 135-145`er, and it showed in his physique when he hit the scale. Silva was much more ripped and will be the heavier/stronger man tomorrow, while Malegarie will look relatively the same tomorrow in the octagon.

I totally agree on Pennington, and I also thought Andrade looked a little fatter than usual which makes sense, shortish notice

Interesting Frank Mir says that about being fat... and I believe it too because it's not a bad strategy for HW, but the fact is, you are basically just playing for the early KO/SUB at that point. This version Mir is gonna be fucked if the fight gets out of the first. Which I guess was always Mir, so he's just playing to his strengths.

Also I was worried about Arlovski being a juice risk, and he probably is on the sauce, but he didn't stop and that's what matters - he looked magnificent.

@Sholler_UFC: Joe Riggs made weight at 185.5 pounds.

@FrontRowBrian: Backstage-- Joe Riggs collapsed. Rough shape. Receiving medical attention.

Fucking FRBrian.... going to make them scrap it.

In all seriousness, if he's not well, the man shouldn't fight.

Manuwa is at +530 at some places right now. I think it is worth it for a small bet. Rumble will most likely dismantle him fast, but no way He should be that big of a favorite in this match up.

I also like Rivera on this card. His line is good and I am betting that as well.

Here's my bets for this event:

+ Show Spoiler +

$50 free roll: http://www.kountermove.com/join/46884...sy-mma-johnson-vs-dodson-2-95-T-free/

laying some money on Jan Blachowitz at -110. Great odds that. Corey Anderson sucks.

Great job by Raquel Pennington in staying calm and then getting a submission win.

Manuwa looks huge in that weigh in, was he wearing shoes or what?

Yes.

Skip to 24:30 of the video.

Pennington was such a nice bet at +215, a real steal
