since I'm on the other side I just wanted to hear your opinion on why you're on Mighty Mouse.
It has been years since "Kid" has fought and beaten a quality opponent and seems to be on the decline. He is also way to over-confident going into this fight. I think he is taking Johnson too lightly!
I think Johnson is a solid prospect on the rise and will use his wrestling to wear down Kid and control the fight.
There is a reason why Kid is only a marginal favourite in this fight...

Well I do admit I was worried about why the line was so low but I don't see Johnson outwrestling him. I believe Kid's a better wrestler/ has the better base. The overconfidence thing is anyone's guess as we can't actually look into Kid's mind.
Thanks for the response. I'm always trying to see the fight in other angles but I respectfully disagree. Good Luck on your plays.

The Joe Warren fight could have went either way. Joe Warren would ragdoll the 25 lbs. lighter (at least) Johnson. Coming off a huge layoff due to injury and Olympic aspirations and then losing a split decision you could have given him does not show a decline imho.

Best of luck. Right now I only have money on the Mendes/Omigawa and Ellenberger/Rocha fight. I want to bet on Griffin in a bad way but I have been burned by fighters coming off injury so many times.
I have to agree with Pulla about Kid.

The line on the Demetrious Johnson - Kid Yamamoto fight is now -115 both ways at my book...
Unmuted6, Pulla, -- Just to make it clear, my bet on Johnson is not necessarily a fade of Yamamoto. I am a big fan of Johnson's and I don't think people, including Kid are giving him the credit he deserves. I still think Kid can be a factor in the UFC, just not tonight in this spot...

I think Griffin is worth a small play at this price. Conditioning has always been one of Griffin's stong points...
BOL on your plays!!!

I don't think I am either then. When I watched tape on Johnson I saw a fast, athletic, but very basic fighter. His wrestling is average, his ground game is average, and his stand up was average. That's just my opinion though, from what I took from watching his fights. God bless

Remember my friends, "Kid" is fighting at 5:30pm on Facebook, so you gotta take that into consideration. Trying to introduce him to a potential millions of people for free

Good luck MR219, I'm with ya on Bader, and like you, I missed out on the better line. I thought for sure that would be going up with the Jones-Love out there, but that wasn't the case. Anyway, enjoy the fights

mr219, you are easliy one of the more respected guys on this site when it comes to mma. and everyone knows this.
how do you suppose that sharpstick's thread has over 1,500 views in less than 24 hours and yours doesn't have 300 even though it was posted way before his?
Thanks for the kind words, as always!!!
I have a lot of respect for Sharpstick!!! He is a very good capper as well and has a very good following in the NBA forum and NCAA basketball forums because of his successes!!!
A lot of those views are people who follow him in those forums. I think this is a good thing, as it has brough more exposure to the MMA forum.

I did not think the line on Bader was going to drop either, but Bader is a solid fighter, and at these odds, people are willing to pull the trigger...

I played Bader too.. I am feeling a decision here...
I think you are right. However, we have not really seen anyone test Jones' chin before. It will be interesting to see if Bader can close the distance and land one of those right bombs!
