Ufc 83

*sigh* It seems you'll all be in Montreal this weekend enjoying the fights and I'll be here wondering if I can get a bigger TV (and better sound) in my place so I can pretend I'm with you.

Anyway figured I'd start this early as I am sure you'll all be off partying in Montreal by Friday night and I won't know who you pick.
What are your thoughts on the undercard?
It seems to me a few of them are pretty evenly matched... not sure I'd be putting money on a few of those fights.
 
Already pulled the plug on these:
Danzig
Lutter
Bisping
Starnes
GSP

I hate laying all the Juice on GSP, Bisping, and Danzig.

If you do place a wager on any of the fights make sure you do some line shopping - you should do this for any wagers you make. There are some pretty big discrepancies within the lines at various sportsbooks. Most bettors don't realize how much money they can make line shopping. For example, look the the different lines from the 3 sportsbooks I use.

Danzig -475 BetCris/-480 The Greek/-441 Pinnacle
Travis Lutter +285 BetCris/+300 The Greek/+306 Pinnacle
Bisping -350 BetCirs/-335 The Greek/-316 Pinnacle
Kalib Starnes +230 BetCris/+220 The Greek /+261 Pinnacle
GSP -500 BetCris/-500 The Greek/-471 Pinnacle
 
My brother and I are going to the fight. Taking VIA Saturday morning and staying overnight back by Sunday sfternoon. It should be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe this will cheer you up, somewhat, for missing the fight:

Ohhhhhh... that's almost as good as porn! LOL!

I never put money on the fights, I just bet my friends. I don't know enough about the betting system to even attempt that. But I've got dinner at JK riding on the GSP fight. I know you all know who I picked for that one!

I'm going with Franklin against Lutter, I think Lutter has a much better ground game but that's only if he gets him there. Franklin when on his game has some great knockout power and a great clinch; his submission defence is decent too. I'm waffling on it though because I'm not sure Franklin is the same fighter he was before Silva.
 
I am going, driving on Friday. My friend is going independently, flying down with her girlfriends. My friend does not have a ticket, she is just going down to party with the locals in a sports bar.
 
I'm thinkin Matt ko's GSP again...
Something tells me GSP has no chin and all the pressure will be on him:o

Lutter beats Rich on the ground.
 
Just heard that goof host from Fear Factor won't be doing the colour commentary.

How come? I'll bet he couldn't get across the border...

You've lost your marbles for sure.:p
GSP over Serra, TKO or submission. No question.
Serra is a punk. Pure and simple.

Anyone else catch Serra's interview saying he was Rocky and GSP was Drago from Rocky IV?????? That going to Montreal he feels like Rocky did going to Moscow????? Anyone wanna tell Matt that Rocky was a fictional character and that was a fictional story. What a knob!

At this moment t-minus 13 hours 38 min for the VIA train.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Its going to be great!!!!!!!

The rumour is that Rogan mentioned the Fedor/Sylvia fight publicly and that he didn't care who was behind the fight as long as the fight happened (he might have meant the Couture/Fedor fight that hopefully will happen this year)....

Anyways...Dana's a bitch and got pissed that Rogan praised an organization and its event that wasn't a UFC production.... he punished Rogan by banning him from tomorrow's UFC...

Also....Afflcition is sponsoring the Sylvia/Fedor fight....so supposedly White has banned Affliction from UFC events...meaning that fighters cannot wear Affliction shirts or hang banners with its logo....

it seems like Dana White's the new Don King, he wants to control everything.

I will be at Filthy mc chicken to watch this fight :cool:

I was going to go to a bar to watch it but wasn't sure if they play the audio - any info?
I'm ordering it at home but as all my pals are either not into the fights or gone to Montreal if they are into it I'm watching solo... never as fun as with a group of fans.
 
my brother's gone to the fight with his new date... she's a pornstar- i guess if you get vip's you get to meet quite a few pornstars at these events... must be common for these fighters to date them? i don't know... i hope to find out on monday..
 
guys, anyone have any link to a sopcast feed or atleast have some updates?
 
Serra didn't put up much of a fight, St.pierre had him on the defensive the whole time. took him down from the bell and worked 'em over.

its 1-1 now, I'm sure there'll be a 3rd fight.
