Gotta admit that from a fan standpoint I'm not too stoked for this card. I'm sure the UFC is figuring CM Punk circus is going to bring in some ppv numbers, because otherwise this should be a free card. Anyway, no need to complain.  Leans...I encourage disagreement

Fabricio Werdum -210. Remember what he did to Cain? That was only about a year ago. The way he lost his title was all over confidence.  Not saying there was no other way he should've lost, but not that way. Gets back in the groove vs Browne. This time I'm thinking a finish, only betting FTW tho.

Ian McCall -125.  He's not too old yet.  Still top 5 @125.  Creepy.

Mickey Gall -475. I'm not betting this because I really don't think Gall has earned his chance in Octagon. Punk hasn't either, but like I said he'll bring the PPV numbers with a contingent of people that give wrasslers far too much credit. I loathe this fight. Maybe I'll parlay it with some for sure college FB wins, like ND vs Nevada.

Uriah Faber +105. Uriah is 10 years older then Rivera, which is why he's the dog, but he's a guy who's always in shape, has a great team he built around himself, doubt he's much of a partier, and even tho I believe he's got plenty of gas left in the tank he might want to hang them up soon. I'd like to see him hang em up after a dominant win here.

Other leans, but doubt I'll bet.
Medeiros, Barroso, Dober, Eye, McBride, Magalhaes, Calderwood, Stipe.

So, just thinking about CFB Parlays to go with Gall.  

Louisville -650,    Iowa -700,   Oregon -3500,    

Gall -475 Starting to look good in comparison.

$10 on Gall alone nets $4.75,       Parlayed $6.42    Why not.

'Uncle Creepy' McCall won't be fighting for 2nd consecutive time due to opponent pullup. Too bad he's always an entertaining fighter in an underrated weightclass. Wish I had fs1 so I could keep up on TUF this season, as the format is interesting. I wonder how the talent/experience compares to the season Matt the Terror won.

I grabbed Gall at -280 on 5dimes before the line changed. Also took Gall wins in round 1 -140. The majority of Punk's training footage is him grappling and going for take downs. Many people have mentioned that Punk isn't necessarily training to be a fighter in all aspects but to train for THIS fight. Even if he gets it to the ground... Gall has a big advantage in submission. I'm predicted Gall with an early sub.

CM (Cash Money) Punk is much more tempting, knowing Dana wants him to win.

Dont waste to much money on Gall.

Im all over the +350

Great catch at -280. Something I think a lot of us wish we had pulled the trigger on. Also, like that Gall by sub and rd1. 
Uriah is now at +150. That's a lot of movement within the last week. Still like Uriah, glad I haven't bet him yet.

Dropping 300 on punk it's a toss up lol both have little fight experience, cm obviously having none, but he's gotta be more conditioned and stronger than gall, plus all those stunts in the wwe as Uriah Faber said he's built for war but is mickey gall



I'm about 20 percent serious in this post, actually putting 350 tho cause it'll be real enteraining

I got gall at -280 also early I don t agree at all that this is a toss up. While gall does not have experience he is 13 years younger and does everything better than punk how can punk win this?? In my opinion he has to land a lucky haymaker because he has no mma skills. I think gall takes his back and rear naked chokes him in the first.

Meh not impressed with galls wins fought nobody's, I think punk at least has been with a better training camp for 2 years than gall, plus gall look defeated at the AM weigh ins thinking punk was going to miss weight, it's a fight tho either of them can walk out and get their nose broken in the first 10 seconds than the odds go out the window

Gonna need some home cooking to get this Eye win. She looked way too emotional at start of the fight and just now on the stool between 2-3. Looks like they're different weight classes as well. Probably shouldn't have parlayed so much, but only betting a few bucks.

Eye looked to be 15-20 pounds lighter than the PitBull

Fought good considering
I am not sure why they still do the weigh ins the day before instead of at the fight
Kind of silly to me as you have these big fighters who are just really good at cutting and putting on weight

Well my years of betting experience on mma told me cm punk may just get taken down and beat up but I thought he'd have some sort of heart lol that's embarrassing 2 years and all that chirping for that

Easiest bet I've made in years.

Nice picks by Warcameagle56 and Dr2i4ve. Drive hit nail on head in Punk beating and Warcameagle56 a nice parlay. I'd what the rest were thinking with Punk. Unfortunately I haven't learned from my mistakes; parlay in too much...especially with adding women fighters to parlay. 10 bucks down 13 tops, but still should've done better. I think next main event with Poitier vs Johnson will be great and Brunson vs Hall a real stylistic match up of wrestler vs striker.

Gall and the football games came through. $1.95 profit. Not sure if I'll invest or buy myself something nice. Either way looking at this next card and the lines, Lots of close lines so far and justifiably so. Another event I'm unlikely to dump much money on, but it'll be much more fun to watch then this last one.

I understand the reason for weighins, but it would be interesting to see the addition of a no consequence digital scale right before fight as ref is checking them out. Then have Buffer announce the actual weight as he introduces them.  Brock Lesnar coming in at 320 lbs!!!I Most people don't know bantam from Batman, the real weight would have more impact for the fans and degenerate gamblers.
