I don't know if you saw the Countdown show or not, but rather hilarious. You know how they have to subtitle the Brazilian guys so you know what they are saying... Well they had to subtitle James Toney so you would know what he was saying.

I think this is actually a horrible card betting wise. I usually have a few bets I really like, but there is nothing that stands out for me on this card. I have some leans but nothing that I am confident in right now. Here are some I'm looking at but again I haven't played anything yet.

Nick Osipczak -175 (big line movement but maybe some value left)
Kenny Florian -150 (could very well lose a boring decision where he gets taken down all fight though)
Marcus Davis +170 (Has edge in boxing and power but just not confident in this one)
Mario Miranda +205 (live dog depending on his game plan)

That would be surprising as fok. Couture has to have a big advantage in reach. And mobility. And lack of disgusting amounts of fat.
