Furd Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I know that you shouldn't count the old man out, but Gonzaga is a bad man. I see him handling Couture pretty convincingly. Koscheck is a douchebag. He is far lessed skilled than St. Pierre, but St. Pierre is a china doll. I think that its a bad matchup for St. Pierre, and the douchebag prevails in a close fight. As for the rest of the fights, Mir is fighting for the first time in a long time (I think), and the guy that I once thoght had a good chance of beating Liddell - Renato Sobral - is back after losing to a tomato can. Not a bad card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad card. Sorry Furd, didnt' see your post before I started one of my own.......actually, I didn't even look Why are you calling Koscheck a douchebag ? He is what he is......a good wrestler, with amazing quickness. He is hard to hit. His fights sometimes aren't the most exciting, but, he does what he has to. I'm also a bit biased, as I followed this kid as a high school wrestler in PA. As for Gonzaga, everything in me tells me he will win, but, I've doubted Coutore too many times. This should be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 My wagers for tonight: $25 on Patrick Cote to win $53.75 (Grove will likely win, but, he is a heavy favorite, and Cote is dangerous) $28 on Joe Stevenson to win $10.18 (Can't bet against Stevenson, even though he is a big favorite...I like rooting for him) $10 on Alberto Crane to win $27.50 (Hureta will likely win, but, Crane was biggest underdog, so I took a cheap shot) $28 on Josh Koscheck to win $50.49 (Koscheck's athleticism give him a chance against ANYONE, I like his odds) $27 on Randy Coutore to win $25.71 (Can't bet against Coutore again. Another guy I like to root for) Last time, I lost all of my bets, so, likely you will do good to bet exactly the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His nose was broken pretty early on. Edited August 26, 2007 by budlitebrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I picked every fight... always win all the bets with my buds... but I lost $40 on couture/gonzaga... I was rooting for couture, but I didn't think he would win. I HATE koscheck, HATE HIM, I knew st.pierre would own him, I figured he would finish him sooner though. Huerta is a monster, he is gonna win the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryTheRock Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Couture dominated that fight. Crazy stuff. Does he hang it up soon or go out with a loss? I tell ya, I'm not going to bet against him until he and I lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Awesome fight- Randy kicked his azz, and controlled him from start to finish. GSP easily handled Kroshchek, dude looked completely overmatched vs. GSP. Huerta is sick, that dude totally inpressed me. Thre some dough on Randy and GSP, so not a bad night at all.

Jumpin Johnies Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 $10 on Alberto Crane to win $27.50 (Hureta will likely win, but, Crane was biggest underdog, so I took a cheap shot) Crane is the worst fighter that I've ever seen fight in the UFC.

Grits and Shins Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 St. Pierre and Couture were both impressive. Both dominated their fights. I had anticipated that youth would prevail over experience but after the fight started I was surprised that Courture didn't finish Gonzaga in the 2nd. I'd like to see Couture and Gonzaga go again. It might have been a different fight had Gonzaga not gotten his nose broken on that take down. Once his nose was broken he was done ... he couldn't breathe.
