I like Kos as well, but am no where close to being as confident in the play as you are.  There is no way I would risk 44 units on this fight.  I think you are wrong on your assessment on this line.  I was actually expecting it to be more around -200 than the -350 that you were expecting.  Pierce is a really good, well rounded fighter that matches up well with Kos.  I think Kos does everything a bit better than Pierce, which is why I am on him.  However, strange things can happen, especially if this goes to the judges.

I really hope Kos comes through for you tonight...

He showed tremendous improvement in his overall game in his last fight against Escovedo.  He will also have a significant height, reach and speed advantage over Figuero.  Figuero is not a UFC calibre fighter IMO...

Could not agree with you more!

I am hoping that I won't be thinking the same when the event is over...

i agree with the value on condit. diaz is there to be hit and was almost out against daley. i dont think this fight goes to the ground as diaz likes to strike against strikers(noons,daley,lawler,marius) even though he is superior on the ground so that also improves condits chances.

i had werdum against reem strikeforce at +400. if he would have stood and traded instead of pulling all that bullshit(flopping, feigning injury) he probably would have won the fight. he was winning the exchanges all night and reem was gassed at the end.

he beats big country tonight.

A very strange night of fights.  I really think Herb Dean and two of those judges completely hosed Alex Caceres tonight.  I have never seen or heard of a ref taking 2 points away from a fighter for an accidental low blow, even if it was the second one of the fight.  I also do not know how two judges could have given Figueroa the first round of the fight.  He landed a big head kick.  Big f*cking deal.  Caceres rebounded from that blow very quickly and then took Figueroa's back.  Caceres was dominating him in the striking department before he was knocked down...Absolute B.S. IMO.

I do feel a bit fortunate on the Riddle and Koscheck decisions, as I thought both Martinez and Pierce won the first and second rounds in both of those fights.  That kind of takes the sting off of the Caceres B.S.

Despite all that nonesense, I had a slight winning night, as the plays went 4-5 for +1.85 units.
