Guys, this really has some great money making potential. If you bet the same way I do, you will usually come out ahead. I've had one ofer where I went 0-4 and lost 10 units. EVERY OTHER PAY PER VIEW I HAVE COME OUT AHEAD (Edited..I take that back I had a -4.7 UFC night as well) including a +18 unit night on the Sylvia +485 payday.
Anyways, currently the headliner is almost a push with St. Pierre getting back +130 and Hughes giving up -150.
What interests me is the line on the Snowm and Sylvia. Sylvia is -290..R U Fricken Kidden me? One fight with a torn MCL arlosvki and you have the belt back? The Snowman's no joke. Sylvia should be able to tee up on him, but if you get the UFC downloads watch the Snowman. he is world class at takedowns and if he can get on Sylvia...anyways..fight's comin up. Messy, Hughes isn't as easy as you think.
I'm out players..enjoy the octagon.
PC's top 3 Welterweights:
1.) Matt hughes
2.) BJ Penn
3.) George St. Pierre
PC's top 3 Middleweights:
1.) Anderson Silva
2.) Rich Franklin
3.) Mike Swick
PC's top 3 Light Heavyweights
1.) Chuck Lidell
2.) Tito Ortiz
3.) Renato Baba Lou Sobrell
PC's top 3 Heavyweights
1.) Tim Sylvia
2.) Chuckie Kyango
3.) Frank Mir or Andre Arlosvki
If I were throwing PRIDE in here they would hold the #1 slot at heavyweight and 3 slot at light heavyweight.
I'm out playas.

Alright Chris, Here it is....2 Plays and both will be on the title fights!!!
I am going with MATT HUGHES...I think Hughes is at the top of his game and he will not be beaten. GSP is good but I think this is the wrong time to be fighting Hughes....
MATT HUGHES -140
2nd Title fight I will be sticking with the MAINE-IAC Tim Sylvia...I've struggled with this fight but I will go with the huge height and reach advantage that Sylvis has....The fight plan is simple, Monson wants the ground and Sylvia wants to go toe to toe...I am a little worried that if Monson is able to get Sylvia down, he will be in trouble...his limbs are simply to long and that will make for easy submissions by Monson. However, can Monson get to Sylvia to take him down???? He will try but Sylvia will rain elbows and fists onto Monson and just fire away with his kness.... I see a Sylvia KO here.
TIM SYLVIA -275
Should be two great title bouts...can't wait to watch them...Let me know what you think!!

I'm still studying for Hughes/St. Pierre...depends for me on which man has gotten "rattled" by the other. The best take I've seen to support a GSP victory is the fact that Penn couldn't get Hughes down and GSP did. Also, even with a cracked rib Hughes couldn't finish Penn from the stand up. As for the snowman, I'm still weighing the value of taking Monson. I don't know if Sylvia can stop Monson's takedown but that 1 foot reach advantage is huge and you have a legitimate point. My best bet is on two undercard fights. Take care and I'll post once the lines get defined later in the week.

All right, I'm locked into 5 fights. I doubt I will lose money on this card, here's how I'm playing it:
Play #1: Roll with me on the Cerebral Assassin Frank Mir. His last octagen appearance was a joke. Mir, when in shape, is one of the best Heavyweights of his era. He broke Sylvia's arm and dominated him on the ground. Vera is the real deal as well, but I will take the value in the line and say MIR IS BACK$$$$
Roll with me on Frank Mir +300 for 1 unit
Play #2: Roll with me on Joe Stevenson -290. This cat didn't make a believer out of me until he carved up his last opponent. I lost money on that fight and saw a new fighter in "daddy."
BEST BET: Roll with me on Joe Stevenson -290 for 2 units.
Play #3: Welterweight Title:
Sorry Messy, I'm rollin GSP in this fight. The pre game hype and rapid line drop makes me roll on the Canadien. Hughes almost lost to BJ in an epic battle and had a huge comeback. GSP gets through the first round, and it's his fight. There's been a lot of trash talk including Matt Hughes throwing the whole country of Canada under the bus (saying they have no warriors, they never fight in any battles). I think GSP takes it on Saturday night
ROLL WITH ME ON GSP George St. Pierre +110 for 2 units.
2 other plays for 1 unit apiece:
Jeff Monson +240 for 1 unit
Sherman Pendergast +290 for 1 unit
As you can see, other than "daddy" I like most of the dogs. My boy Nick Diaz is back, but I can't back a -600 line.
Take care and good luck whatever you roll.

Won 2 fights on Best Bet Stevenson (+2 units) and the headliner on GSP (+2.3 units)
Lost 3 fights at 1 unit apiece (Mir, Pendergrast, Snowman).
Total result: +1.3 units.
Congrats GSP...nice domination. We'll see the re match soon. Starting to think the UFC is orchestrating their fights like WWF does their wrasslin. Franklin's no show and now this? Hughes doesn't even try to take GSP down, just stands with the more athletic man. Something's up..but at least I'm on the right side cash wise. Weird fight, don't ya think Messy?

Good Job PC...I am pissed I missed the fights...I missed everything OSU/MICH...I was outta commission for a few days!!
I hear the Slyvia fight sucked but hey..it cashed! I wish I saw Hughes/GSP...I read HUghes was dominated....makes you wonder about the rubber match!!
I certainly agree with the WWF comparison...It looked that way when they brought GSP in the ring to cahllenge Hughes...I hope it doesn't continue down that road...they have a good thing going with some great athletes and superb fighters...hopefully they keep it real!!!
