MMA/COTG Betting Fantasy League

[Knapik]

Jason Miller was some easy money last night!

[LWPD]

Looks like Neilybob and Knapik are neck and neck in the battle for third. Harmon will be tough to pass.

[LWPD]

Some late December underdogs to consider for next week:

Matt Hughes +200

Sokoudjou +110

Hong Man Choi +600

[hofclemens]

placed my bets.. Like Liddell and went with Hughes in the upset.

For nostalgia sake I'll be cheering Hughes on...but other than a very conservative fight (with little initiation) that sees a GSP mental lapse setting up a few late round takedowns...leading to a grind out decision...I just can't see him beating GSP. The way GSP's takedown defense has evolved is downright frightening. If Koscheck was out-wrestled by GSP...how is Hughes going to fare?

Regardless I'm really pumped for this one.

[JamieOD]

Choi's moved up to +700. Any takers?

[harmon]

Took Hughes over GSP and Wandi over Chuck....tough picks this time.

[hofclemens]

liddell paid off but Hughes let me down.. worth the shot at that price though

[LWPD]

Full lines are now up for UFC 80. Joe Stevenson at +225

This is a no brainer. It's time to step up, go heavy and get paid. BJ Penn all the way...I'm all in!

I don't like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I'm paid in full

Neily, you said a few days ago that you were bored with the league, did the bug bite you again ?

[LWPD]

Just a quick heads up. Since this card is taking place in the UK...'live time' will be around 3 PM EST. Just something to be aware of for those planning to watch the re-aring at 10 PM EST and wanting to remain 'spoiler free'.

put some bank on Rivera in the league should have done it with real money too

[LWPD]

Never say the League Champion doesn't put it on the line. All in on The Prodigy. I also had $500 on him in RL. Every MMA Fan should watch this fight as it's a chance to see something very special. Stevenson is a young man with a lot of promise and showed great heart...he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time against one of the best P4P fighters MMA has ever seen.
