Yea Reem should destroy BigFoot. Lines will probably be shitty though so I probably won't bet. Whenever he fights JDS or Cain I'll bet on him though, I think.

Bet on the 3 of them, Reem should still be a bet at -400, the only way Silva could beat overeem is if he lucksacked and got the fight to the ground and submits him, but Silva wont be able to take him down, he is too freaking tall and Overeem is too strong and has decent TD now it seems.
Overeem is used to strike against tall long fighters like Bonjaski, Hari, Schilt etc. Honestly i dont see Silva going past the 1st round.

^ Yeah, he's been on the shelf for awhile, waiting for a fight. His fights keep getting canceled, so he was saying in a recent interview how he hopes someone gets injured so he can take the fight. It's been almost 13 months since his last fight, which was that crappy fight vs. Kongo, who fought like he didn't want any of Mitrione in the pocket.
From his Wiki:
1. Mitrione was expected to face Rob Broughton on August 4, 2012 at UFC on FOX 4.[11] However, the bout was scrapped after Broughton pulled out for an undisclosed personal matter.[12]
2. Mitrione/Broughton was briefly linked to UFC on FX 5[13] but was eventually scrapped altogether.
3. Mitrione was expected to face Philip De Fries on December 29, 2012 at UFC 155.[14] But Mitrione was pulled out of the bout to step in for injured Shane Carwin against Roy Nelson at The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson Finale on December 15, 2012.
Before those failed attempts to get a fight, he wasn't able to get anyone else before that cuz they were already booked or injured.

Betting the house on Nelson and Overeem
Side note: Dan's knee is doing great and he's fucking hungry.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

Had to post this one here since it makes me smile. (I'm a Thiago Silva hater)
Basically, he was caught in the post-fight drug test that showed he had weed in his system.
His win against Stanislov Nedkov will be overturned, and made into a "no decision."
Thiago Silva's record in his past 5 fights: 1 win, 2 losses, 2 No Contests.
His performance vs. Nedkov was also terrible, he got the round 3 submission after Nedkov gassed.
This guy should be cut already.
I thought he looked decent in that fight.
Smart gameplan to play it cool and wait for Nedkov to gas out. Nedkov was really big, so he would prob get tired fast and was very dangerous on full gas.
I think Nedkov made that fight ugly always pushing Silva into the cage.
I liked the knees and the sub from Silva.
Yeah the marijuana sux though lol

IMO that's lame considering weed is less harmful than alcohol. How marijuana is considered a sports aid is beyond me.

The commissions don't only ban PEDs but any illegal drugs as well. Its dumb. Possibly helps with insurance idk.

And legality and logic and ability to legalize more sports and in more states.
Really wouldn't make sense for the governing body of drug testing athletes in a sport to ignore finding illegal drugs.

the governing body's goal is to protect the fighters' health and ensure fair competition. reporting that they found marijuana does absolutely nothing to further this goal. so it makes 100% perfect sense to ignore finding marijuana.

I don't have a problem with weed.
I do think that if you're a professional athlete, you should follow all of the rules. If you're not allowed to smoke weed for the time being, then you shouldn't.

Abel Trujillo: $12,000 (includes $6,000 win bonus)
def. Marcus LeVesseur: $8,000
Dennis Siver: $62,000 (includes $31,000 win bonus)
def. Nam Phan: $10,000
Scott Jorgensen: $41,000 (includes $20,500 win bonus)
def. John Albert: $10,000
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $65,000 UFC on FOX 5 bonuses to Edwards ("KO of the Night"), Jorgensen ("Fight of the Night" and "Submission of the Night" for $130,000 total) and Albert ("Fight of the Night").
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
