UFC IN MARCH
ON MARCH 3'RD we have Team USA with Rich Franklin taking on Team Canada..there are 3 great fights on the card..headlined by a title defense from Rich Franklin against David Loaiza. The fight I'm most curious and anxious to see is BJ Penn and George "Rush" ST. Pierre. It could be the fight of the year in the UFC>
Vegas...early leans are on
St. Pierre over Franklin
Franklin over Loaiza
can't wait. Will post when they have the lines.

I haven't seen em yet B...I'll tell ya what though..under 190 and it's hard NOT to take Franklin. Dude has beaten better in my opnion. And as for BJ Penn..man that dude is unreal. If he's in top shape..I'm gonna ride him possibly.but he hasn't fought in ages.
You know what..they do a UFC card every year on Super Bowl weekend. Let's make it happen next year. I got a hook on tix..face value, but after last UFC, that's a great deal.
Glad there's another UFC fanatic in here. I'm tellin ya bro, we are in the fore front. This sport is gonna explode in the next 5 years and I think we got a huge edge following the pay per views to mainstream that this sport is attracting.
I'm gonna go get the entire card and the post from UFC site. Then I'll post odds when I see em.
Nice call on Riggs..you can ask Billz....I"M STILL BITTER!!! But like you, I bet with my heart. I'm a huge fan of Diaz and I still think he's a world class stiker and muy tai fighter.
ANd man..I can't wait..did you hear we're gonna see the original legend Hoyce Gracey vs. Matt Hughes in UFC 59 in June. I can't wait for that mofo.
Take care..gonna go get the card and preview right now.

...jesus..I'm starting to back away from Pierre. BJ Penn is training like a mad man for his return to the UFC. If you saw when he moved up in weight to beat Hughes, you know that kid can fight. He took Hughes's belt by submission in the first with a rear naked choke.
Anyways..the nightmare is fighting too on the undercard..and Mike Quick Swick, one of my favorites as well.....

...I love Franklin..but so does the oddsmaker. In the pay per view hype, they say St. Pierre/Penn might be the fight of the year and I agree with them. I think I'm gonna roll with BJ Penn and then possibly fade Mike Quick Swick...first fight back in almost a year and if we can get out of the 1'st..I don't know if his conditioning is there. Let's remember this dude lost on the Ultimate fighter and only has the high juice because he's knocked out his first two fighters in the first. I'm gonna research his opponent and see if there is any value..but at first glance from your odds I'm only gonna bet the BJ/St. Pierre fight and possibly play 2 or 3 high doggies and try to hit one.
Did you see that Matt Holmes is fighting Hoyce Gracey in May and Tito Ortiz is fighting Forrest Griffin in UFC 60? I hate Tito, hope that mofo gets rocked by Forrest. Anyways...one week to go. At first I was stoked about this card but this pay per view will not be one of the best. UFC 60 will be one of the best ever though.
Take care...can't wait for next Saturday.

Mr. V...one day to go but I put these in now...
Rich "ace" Franklin -255 for 3 units. over Loazia.
BJ "the prodigy" Penn +125 for 3 units. over St. Pierre.
Steve Vignault +475 1 unit over Mike Quick Swick.
Rob MacDonald +270 over Jason Lambert for 1 unit.
As you can see, I'm hoping to hit at least Vignault or MacDonald for a profit. I will also ride your underdog pick. Can't believe the public has no faith in ACE. He's gonna dominate again.
Good luck bro..will look for you on messenger on Saturday night.

No Diego Sanchez fight and no Kenny Florian....
No big whoop on Florian but I was looking forward to watching the Nightmare's progression.
Man I can't wait for Matt Hughes to kick Royce's ass. You think there is any way Royce can keep up with the relentless Hughes and his ground and pound? I know Royce was the king of submissions..but the UFC is NOT Japan and Hughes is gonna look to cement his immortality in the Octagon on this one. Only thing that scares me is when they say Royce and the Gracies invented the sport, I don't disagree. And our next pay per view has Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest...fightin in the Badass's backyard. I hope Forrest opens at +400..I'll jump that mofo immediately. Have a good one bro....
TEAM USA TO THE HIZZLE!
