I wanted to take Ferguson vs Khabib possibly, but now I think that Barboza is just going to kick him like a horse, and hes so skinny he will collapse break a rib or something. Is there a good strategy Ferguson can use to beat Barboza? Ferguson stands a much better chance vs Barboza infact I think hes gonna pick him apart. Hes got much more fluid footwork and looser hands, and he can change directions and rhythm in a special, unique kind of way that I haven't seen in MMA yet. Barboza's spinning shit could work, but it probably won't, and I think Ferguson is quick enough to dart in and out of conventional range without eating most of Barboza's heavy shit while landing some cool shit of hiw own. Most likely, Ferguson is just a step ahead and tunes him up and possibly finishes him. Lets not forget that Barboza can be chinny and Ferguson is a nasty finisher. I will say Barboza has improved his wrestling and striking defense and trains with a great camp so who knows.

That makes sense. I haven't seen enough very similar fights to understand how it will work out.

- Beneil Dariush vs. Mairbek Taisumov slated for UFC Fight Night 81.

Bisping vs mousasi for the london card, seems like a really fun main event actually.

Though I feel like Bisping should be drawing dead.?

Close to it probably, but stylistically its not as bad a matchup for Bisping as Whittaker was IMO. Atleast he'll probably make it competitive.

In other news, if anybody is looking for an incredibly weird line, Tecia Torres just opened as an only -265 favorite to a 2-week short notice pretty bad but tough chick named Jocelyn Jones Lyneberger who's 30.

This line makes no sense. I think its laughably bad line setting, maybe they are just trying to entice parlay action or something.

10 units on Torres.

-227 on pinnacle o_O Sadly don't have access to pinnacle in korea.

That's a typical response.

Making the thread is easy once you know what to do.
