Correct me if I'm wrong, but technically Anderson didn't defend his belt because Lutter was overweight right?

Either way, I'm looking forward to 73

yeah, i think this is right. And wikipedia confirms. This is technically his first title defense coming up Saturday.

He didn't defend the belt, but he survived a tough round 1 to sub Lutter in the 2nd anyway.

Heres the sports betting discussion of it. Performify has his picks coming out on tuesday (today technically) and he is a pretty damn good sharp methinks. For the most part i hope we will agree on the main bouts, although i don't know what the line is for Big Nog. It'll be something redic. like -600 or more. I'll copy paste my comments about the betting in this thread as well.

Anderson Silva-160 Nate Marquardt+130

I think Marquardt could easily be considered the favorite. Anderson does not have the best takedown defense, and marquardt has great GnP. I don't think he's thaaaaat much better standing and he will be considerably outwrestled/grappled. I take marquardt all day on this one.

Sean Sherk-230 Hermes Franca+180

I'm not sure what's the play here, or even if there is a play on this one from a quick glance. Sean Sherk is a monster in this division, but Hermes is no chump. I think Sherk takes this a good majority of the time, but i'm not sure about betting him here.

Tito Ortiz-130 Rashad Evans+100

Screw Tito Ortiz. What has he done in the last four years i'm supposed to be impressed by? He lost his title to couture, then lost to liddell.

This was followed by a decision win against Patrick Cote, and split decision wins against belfort and griffin. And he probably lost that griffin fight, that's a WHOLE other conversation. He then beats a shell of a fighter in shamrock twice. None of this is awe-inspiring.

So he gets another title shot and liddell tools him again. Where does this leave him now? Screw Ortiz, he hasnt done anything impressive in four years. I bet Rashad because i think he's the favorite. I don't think Tito is a better wrestler, striker, or submission grappler. I just want to reiterate, F TITO.

[ruken]

Yeah. I can't stand Tito. I'm hoping Evans powerbombs him right through the cage floor.

[vqchuang]

bet on Hermes.

[Colm]

smart money on rashad for sure.
