I'm a big fan of Nate Diaz. His striking is unreal. His fight agaisnt Cerrone perfect. I've never seen such accurate strikes in a match. He has termendous reach/length. With that said how will his fight go with Benson Henderson. I don't see Benson throwing punches with Nate. I believe Benson will try and make this a wresting match. Will Nate be able to keep the fight standing? I don't know?

I'm leaning on taking Nate +135.

Does B.J. have any chance against Rory Macdonald. These 2 were supposed fight months ago but due to a facial laceration of Macdonalds the fight was rescheduled. Before the original fight Macdonald called Bj fat and out of shape. BJ admitted to having like 40% body fat but says Macdonald's remarks motivated him to train harder and BJ says he has gotten in great shape. His body fat is down to 10%. What do we make of this? I'd like to take BJ but I have a feeling Rory is just to good.

Matt Brown vs Mike Swick is a good matchup. I made money betting on Matt Brown his last few fights. I think I'll stick with him at +110. I don't know much about Swick.

Gustasffon is a by favorite over Rua. I'd like to take Rua because I love betting underdogs in MMA fights. I'll have to do some reasearch because right now I not that familar with either fighter.

P.S. I've learned watching the weigh-ins is very valuable before making decisions on the fights. Weigh-in video has help me a lot in the past.

Good luck to all.

McDonald should absolutely destroy BJ. Diaz is great value as I actually think he is better in every category but maybe flashy leg kicks. He is stronger so he could win a a wrestling match, but Nates jitz is better. We shall see. Should be a great fight.

Fight night is almost here. I'm liking Diaz more and more. I hope the dogs bark once again tomorrow night.

Nate Diaz +135 He gets better and better each and every fight.

BJ Penn +240 Looks like he wants to prove a point. Definite value at +240

Matt Brown +140 glad I waited will go higher, everybody loves Swick.

Marquez +240

Rua +190 for a flyer action bet.

Unfortunately, I like Diaz more as well. Rather see him get his shit kicked in, but can't pass up the value.

ive liked McDonald since he hit the scene. He may be young, but I think he's up for the challenge. Prob layoff though because don't wanna lay 2 to 1 really, in case BJ has "something to prove", and he may. He will hafta get inside and play dirty and go ground if so.

will prob play Matt Brown as well because one thing with him is he will always come to fight and never quits, so he gives us a good chance as a dog.

Rory Mcdonald will probably win. I now remember how easily he beat Nate Diaz. Rory is the real deal.

Just watch the weigh-ins and Nate is .6 pound over. For it to be a championship fight they don't have a 1 lb allowance. He'll have to cut .6.

Anyway this is a great card from top to bottom.

No way I would ever go against Rory at the moment, I fully believe he is the next superstar in the UFC. Only way I would think he loses is if he just isn't focused and takes Penn too lightly, but coming out of that Tristar camp, and after getting booed by everyone at the weigh-ins yesterday (lol wtf???) I don't think focus will be a problem for him. Besides MacDonald's all around skill and Tristar camp, one other advantage that people may overlook is the size advantage. Rory is a really big welterweight, and could easily move up to fight at middleweight, while on the other hand Penn is more of a natural lightweight for the latter part of his career, moving up to fight at welterweight. I think if Rory wins this fight he'll get a rematch soon with Condit, which was his one UFC loss back in his 2nd fight at age 20. Rory had that fight won through 2 1/2 rounds but gassed out late and the ref called the fight with 7 seconds left. We will definitely see a better BJ Penn tonight from his last few fights, but I really don't think it will be enough, should be a fun card!

I totally agree. Pretty good card top to bottom. Once again the freebie card may outshine the PPV card as we should have some exciting fights tonight.
