odd...it won't let me put "WEC" in the title....it converts it to "Wec"

Sad attempt at an "official" thread... :lol

Lots of good looking underdog bets IMO…

Fav’s
Garcia (-150) – Garcia’s debut at 145 lbs after leaving the UFC LW division
Hawkins (-115) – pick em fight but Hawkins should take it

UD’s
Prater (+325) – I really don’t understand this line at all…should be much closer. Prater beat Condit a couple years ago.
Varner (+110) – I think Varner will expose Razor Rob
Maeda (+130) - Valencia is a stud, but Maeda’s lack of exposure in the US is driving this line
Grispi (+235) – tough debut for the 19 yr old, but I think he’ll get Hominick down and win it there
Farrar (+155) – I like Micah Miller, but I’d put money on Farrar because of the line
Torres (+160) – the mexican-mullet will submit Beebe with a guillotine
Banuelos (+230) – Chuck Liddell’s roommate / personal assistant…he’s good, but probably not good enough. There are some questions about Tapia after a long injury layoff, but if he’s "back" he should win. Still inviting at +230

Not bad on my underdog picks...because I had no money on them of course... :lol

Razor Rob was over-rated...

I love watching Torres...

How can you make a math mistake on a decision when you have 2 to 3 min's during commercial to figure it out?? That's what it had to be because there was no 10-8 round or pt deduction in that fight. I think they got the winner right in the end though.

Wheeler won by FLYING ARMBAR :fro

[Evan]

I kinda thought it was boring…

According to what I have been reading I am one of the few.
