UFC Betting Summary and trash talking.

Looks like Diego is a HUGE favorite, but I can't see him losing this fight, so I'll go with him.

Riggs has a huge experience advantage, put some money on him with even odds.

I just don't see Hughes losing this fight, so even with not great betting odds, I've gotta go with him.

Gracie has taken down much bigger opponents than Hughes. I think Gracie can neutralize the bull rush which means advantage Gracie.

I'll take the odds.

I will be out of town and unable to order/watch the fight. :sadbanana:

I'll be out of town, I'm hoping I can order/DVR it and a few buddies (all of witch will be gone this weekend) will get together in 2 weeks for a guys night that'll include it.

Did you see Gracie against Sakuraba? Looked like he got beaten down pretty good.

I'm wondering if this wasn't a big mistake by UFC to hold this big of a fight and card on Memorial Day weekend. Their buy rate would likely be 10-20% higher on a non holiday weekend.

I'm going to put my money on Gracie. Hughes makes several mistakes in every match he fights. Gracie will not miss on a submission when Hughes makes those mistakes.

Take the popular fight with Carlos Newton for instance. Newton wasn't strong enough to snap Hughes' arm with the arm bar and paid for not sinking it in harder. Hughes won't be able to power out of those submissions the same way. Gracie will snap his arm, ankle, throat or whatever if he needs to and quickly. That's the trick. I thhink Gracie was probably worried at first but once he watched the tapes he clearly saw that Hughes is overconfident that he can get away with mistakes. All my money on Gracie even with the age. 2 to 1 odds is a total gift here guys.

That's what I was thinking.
