[PaperTrail07]

Leites too slow IMO....Bis wins via hit n run...-Pearson>Dunham Decent Card Here

[JIBBBY]

Next card up after tomorrow night.. As the events just keep coming...


Bisping/Lietes is a tough fight to call.. Kinda leaning towards Bisping in a decision win like Paper suggests... Lietes while sporting a solid record really hasn't fought and beat anyone great.. Lietes never WOW's ya in fights either. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Thales-Leites-8593

Although Lietes did beat Tom Watson as his style is kinda like Bispings. Bisping is still a little more active and fluent with his striking then Tom Watson IMO.....

[PaperTrail07]

As Much as I hate to admit it---Bisping has skills--guy is smooth and should get the W here...hes not some big guy that Leites will track and corner...

_{it's a 5 rounder, bisping will get Ko'd or sub'd, he's lost 4 of the last 4, cardio won't be the same after over a year layoff and his eye jacked up, leites looked better than ever last fight, he should be -270/-330 favorite, massive value, I'll also have him inside the distance. But he can win this fight any way he chooses. Best play on the card, easy cash!!!! Bisping homefield advantage and name value are the reasons your getting amazing value for leites, with bisping as the favorite, casual bettors will all be on bisping.}

I also like Dunham at plus odds, see him out wrestling Pearson.

[CaptChaos145]

Put the house on Jimmie Rivera. You may remember him from the amazing fight he had with Bermudez to get into the TUF house. Brimmage has lost 3 of his last 4.

I called Jimmie's last 3 fights and he looks super sharp. He's been overlooked by the UFC along with his teammate Lyman Good. Both are coming in with a chip on their shoulder.

Watch Rivera work the body.

[CaptChaos145]

You'll never see Rivera with better odds again.

i agree, Rivera can hang with him on the feet and I he can take brimage down, I'll have a play on him.

[CaptChaos145]

JK I work a regional show where some of these guys come from. Rivera has looked uber impressive. Rivera KO's Brimage.

[Killer_Demo]

Anybody leaning paddy?

You know any place I can see the Beebe fight?

[CaptChaos145]

That fight was on CBS SPORTSNET. I work for CFFC. We used to be local on Comcast in the Philly/Jersey area but recently we switched to CBS Sports.

That was a quick fight. Rivera knocked him down with a good shot, let Beene up, and then finished him with a sweet combo. Beene is a solid fighter but Rivera was on point that night.

To answer your question... No I don't know where you can watch it.

[JIBBBY]

So this event is next up after Bellator.. Keep em coming I say!!!!!

Lightly capping this event and seeing what sticks... Hello Sherdog fighter record stats and quick fighter highlight vid watching, that is if I don't know the fighters.. That's it. Turning a blind eye to other forums, twitter, UFC shows and main stream media hype..

I will read Bleacher report and Combat Press though for the basics -

Main card - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...nd-predictions

Prelims - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...rd-predictions

CP - http://combatpress.com/2015/07/toe-t...d-predictions/

Back to keeping it simple and remembering it's just a fight.. Over think a fight outcome and you lose...

Gonna step up the gambling and try the live betting as well.. I saw a few fight out comes during the fights last night that I could have jumped on and won after the first round.. I've never live bet ever to date.... Shame on me....

[Thrilla]

I remember Bispings last fight didn't like it he won in decision and because Dolloway sucked. Don't know much about Leites , the numbers say he is submission expert what I do like. Going to download and watch previous fights of both to make any confident bets.
Leites excited to fight in Scotland, in the land of his heroe Braveheart.

[Unwritten Law]

Looking at El Terror Rivera making his UFC debut, seems like a solid play there Capt.

Pawlak is also another interesting dog on this card getting +299 against Leon Edwards. Coming off a strong performance against Westcott I look for him to improve in this fight.

And is this the same Vaughan Lee that supposedly beat up Tito Ortiz a few years back?

[nanderson1134]

Card looking good, is Thales the real deal?

[JIBBBY]

Simple facts -

Michael Bisping has only been sub'd out once in 34 fights to the stud Luke Rockhold.. Thales is not Rockhold.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Michael-Bisping-10196

Thales Lietes - 14 sub wins and only 4 ko's.. 2 Ko's did come in 2 of his last 3 fights.. Carmont and Trever Smith.. He's quietly on an 8 fight win streak.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Thales-Leites-8593

I don't see Thales getting the submission win against the veteran Bisping, I also don't think Thales has the wrestling to get the TD's on Bisping either.. So this probably becomes a stand up fight where Bisping probaby holds the edge.. If Bisping can avoid the early KO he probably wins on points..

Conclusion - In on cross eyed Bisping... Figure if Bisping can out strike CB Dollaway in his last fight and deal with his wrestling he can handle and get the better of Thales Lietes as well on his home turf....

[JIBBBY]

So some of you guys on the forum are high on Vaughan Lee and Evan Dunham as dog plays.. Hmmmm?

Vaughan Lee could get it.. Lee has fought and lost to better comp but has been hit and miss in recent fights.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Vaughan-Lee-6946 His counter part Holohan has a solid record, went 2-3 in the UFC so far.. He's not a bum and this fight should be close..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Patrick-Holohan-63616 Either could win it IMO...

Not sure about Evan Dunham getting the better of Ross either, he's tough but Ross is tougher and hits harder.. Evan Dunham is a grinder, bit slow of foot but is very durable... Doesn't pack alot of punching power so I don't think Ross gets put away... I'm kinda liking the over 2.5 at -130....

No, not same Lee that got into it with Tito... I believe he is still in prison for that massive heist him an his buddies pulled off.. The biggest heist in the U.K.

This was Lee Murray, he only ever had one fight in UFC. He made Jorge Riviera tap out after about a minute. He then jumped onto the top of cage and called Tito Ortiz out, one of UFC biggest stars at the time. Rumour has it him and Tito had an actual street fight a few weeks prior to this in which Murray got the best of Tito. But ye he's rotting in jail in now after one of the biggest heists in history.

[richie360]

His life should be made into a film.

[TPowell]

guys Brimage will have a 9 inch reach advantage in this fight. If Brimage is a UFC caliber fighter, he'll be able to keep Rivera at bay. Are you guys really that impressed with a guy that has fought mostly nobodies in regional events? I don't know if I'll bet Brimage, but I don't get all the love for Rivera. From what I can tell he is Frankie Edgar like style wise. I think Brimage keeps this one standing

[JIBBBY]

I'm liking Brimage myself as he's fought the best like Conor McGregor and other studs in the UFC.. Rivera first fight in the UFC and hasn't fought nearly the same level of competition.. Black power.. I guess Brimage could get knocked out but Rivera only has 3 ko's on his record.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Marcus-Brimage-21618

Maybe a no play for me or I'm gonna roll with Brimage for small... Don't think this dog barks but I could be wrong..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jimmie-Rivera-40954

Good luck Rivera bettors as I hope I'm wrong and you guys win..

[TPowell]

At a little over 2 to 1, Latifi is a really good bet IMO. At better odds, Whiteford looks like a complete mismatch for Redmond. I think Thales Leites could easily pull off a win in the main event. Bisping has been had by solid wrestlers before and Leites has really showcased his striking lately, granted against lesser competition. My main question is who has Bisping beaten outside of maybe CB that makes everyone think he is so great.

Other places showing just a 6 inch reach disadvantage. I have Brimage at 74 and Rivera at 65. Apparently one of those aren't correct

[PolishSensation]

Leans:
Omielanczuk (-150)
Pawlak (+300)
Dunham (+210)

Probably go 0-3.

You hit Koreshkov with Bellator tonight at +150.. Keep it positive buddy as you might just land all 3 tomorrow morning...

[Killer_Demo]

Cant wait to see bisping's retna fly into 3rd row

[KingHawkins]

Taking a little shot with Garcia to start the morning out. Maybe will chase if he can't get me the $$$.
