fischy this is not tonight.

Why do they keep putting Scotty Jorgenson on the undercard? Exciting, winning fighter. Weird.

Fischy I'm in such a rut with mma it's ridiculous. I don't think saying 15% would be a reach last 8 events.

 

[Fu Manchu]

i know its not tonight

 

[Bread]

sorry fischy. The other night I saw you win a golf bet and have no clue. I was just trying to help.

 

[Fu Manchu]

i knew that kaymer was still in i just wanted johnson to win so it wouldnt go to a playoff. i figured i would lose the playoff.

nice job, both line have already moved 50 cents in your favor, I'm on lamas as well, my only concern is the possibility that Jansen's wrestling is probably a little better

 

[The HOFF]

my only concern is the possibility that Jansen's wrestling is probably a little better

I had that concern too. But I just think Jansen poses so little threat on the feet that Lamas can concern himself with TD defense and then work his stand up.
