But hey what about Wang - will he hear "beautiful wang" again? Will he listen to his corner and take Cole down? I think he will of learnt his lesson and realise he looked like an idiot, he wont wanna cry really weirdly in front of a massive crowd this time so i see him fighting a much better fight, may still pick Miller but think Wang is worth a small wager TBH
He asked if wang was the sleeper and I said no. Then I told him who was. That is not off topic. Wang is going to get stomped.

But actually dude im gonna disagree with you all on who the sleeper is - ITS FLOYD SWORD - the guy has more experience with better fighters than Leites, and has fought mostly at 205 so must be big, his only losses are to Eastman and Southworth, and given how easily a small Kampman handled Thales in the standup i see this guy maybe doing similar, best odds at most likeliness IMHO

Nice pick and analysis. sword was fighting at 205 for a while and has never lost at 185. This might be his first fight at 185. He hasen't beat anyone worth mentioning, but he hasn't lost to anyone that hasen't fought in a major org and they were both fights in a higher weight class. Should be a good match up.

Yeah dude, though it should also be noted than 8/11 of those fights were in '99-2001, he had 1 win in 2003 against a debuting fighter, then 2 wins last year one of them against another debuting fighter but the other against a fairly tough Pardoe via triangle choke so the guy obviously has good BJJ so should be able to nullify Leites sub attempts and i guess that Sword will have the edge in the striking as he is bigger and Thales got pwned by Kampman who could fight at 170
I have gone off Wang (yes snigger snigger) and think i may have Geraghty as my 2nd underdog wager, hope one of them comes in good! I was annoyed at that fight being main card at first but now i will be really excited about it and totally rooting for Sword (just listened to him on the SDS and he sounds good and ready)

I dont see Wang pulling off an upset.
I am going with Cole on that one.
But I dont think Wiman is what he is cracked up to be either..
Picking Geraghty in that fight..
yeah i had wilman untill i actually thought about it and i picked geraghty and bet on him, so GO GERAGHTY

GERAGHTY is forsure and you can make more off him forsure sure. i didn't see anything in wangs fight to think h has a chance with miller. att all the way miller has killers to train with every day and i herd jon fitch talk high of him so i think cole has this one geraghty show alot of hart in his fight

When the odds opened up on Bodog geraghty was a +425 and a lot of money on him has move the odds to +350. A lot of people agree that geraghty is a good pick. It makes me feel smart. Hopfully it come through and I hope they show it on TV.

Odds can (and often do) change with all bookmakers as fights draw near because that it when most of the action takes place. If people are betting on one fighter in particular over the other, the line will move accordingly.

The fight odds on mmaplayground change based on the picks for a fight. That might not be the only reason they change, but it is having an effect. As more people pick manny, the odds are moving. I don't believe that the odds are set based on who is the favorite, they are set be a formula.
NME, however, is right when it comes to real betting site.
