i always scoff at mma lines being greater than +300, but if you're going to put someone at -600 it might as well be hendo or gomi. im suprised to see mark weir as such a dog vs. denis kang (who, while being the local favorite for me he hasn't really impressed me in any of his pride matches). other than that doesn't seem like much of an edge anywhere.

on second thought
filho seems a good bet. shall bet on him and weir

I don't think Ninja is as good as people think. He gets too much respect because of the success his brother brought to the name and because he fights for Chute. Filho's odds opened at +208 and as you posted it is dropping to +178, so the sharp money is coming in on Filho. Just my observations.

Anyone have any thoughts on Phil Baroni. From what I have seen the guy has some serious standup. Of course he doesn't look great on the ground and seems to have a reputation of not having great conditioning. But he has a cool nickname and acts like a toal jig. I have no idea who the guy he's fighting is, and I'm pretty dense when it comes to MMA, but I enjoy watching it a ton, and wouldn't mind making some small bets just for fun. And since I love Baroni's fights, I wonder what do you guys think about his moneyline?

i have 100$ on kondo because simply put, he is the super fighter by light years.

however, there is no reason to believe that pride judging wont [censored] him square in the ass, just like they did with him v nakamura.

baroni's standup is extremely strong for about 90-120 seconds, largely because hes absolutely torn up on roids. if kondo lasts past 2 minutes with baroni, this fight goes to the ground, and kondo subs phil with style and grace.

LMFAO! guess i'll stay away from that one. Did you see his fight with Dave Menne? that was gross! gotta love him though just for being a total jig.
thanks for the insight
