No MMA action for 2 weeks after this, and then...a freakin explosion of action! We will be in heaven!!!
 
I went a little crazy and made my largest MMA wager ever.

Brian Bowles -255 (18.5u to win 7.255u)

Javier Vazquez -150 (7.5u to win 5u)
 
o shit. That's the spirit! I am proud of you. Now comes the hard part.

Man Benivedez has been one of my favorite fighters since he came around. I'd love to see him pull this one out, but there is virtually no chance for shorty against Torres.

It won't ruin my day to see Torres do well either. But you know what I'm sayin.
 
Torres actually doesn't have a huge height advantage over Benevidez like most other fighters do.
 
o fo reelz?
 
Well it looked that way from the weigh in. Although Torres is listed at 5'9" and Benevidez at 5'4". I think 5'9" is very generous for Torres, I'd say more like 5'7".
 
My plays tonight. I have a parlay on Jorgensen & Garcia for 3 units but I don't know what the spread was when Bread placed my bet. I also have bets on Mendes & Anthony Pettis for 1 unit each. I don't know what the spread was for them though and I think the undercards have already started because the odds were pulled from 5dimes.

Good luck, guys!

Yikes! Well, good luck to you, too.
 
got smoked. i think this whole forum community tthing is all a hoax for you and bread to feed me bad mma plays.

hey, it coul d happe.n
 
I actually think you are bad luck! When you follow Bread's plays, he stinks...and then you switch to me and completely bury me! I blame Bread for this for not being around to post his plays for you to follow.
 
Straight burrial for me, fischy, robyn and hoff. ouch.

I am not happy missing out on Benavidez at +300. I love that guy too. Crap.
