UFC The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale Picks

December 2nd, 2011admin

The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Venue: The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort
Broadcast: Spike TV (Sportsnet in Canada) and Facebook.com

MAIN CARD (Spike TV)

• Michael Bisping vs. Jason “Mayhem” Miller
• Dennis Bermudez vs. Diego Brandao (“TUF 14″ featherweight finale)
• John Dodson vs. T.J. Dillashaw (“TUF 14″ bantamweight finale)
• Yves Edwards vs. Tony Ferguson
• Johnny Bedford vs. Louis Gaudinot

PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)

• Marcus Brimage vs. Stephan Bass
• John Albert vs. Dustin Pague
• Roland Delorme vs. Josh Ferguson
• Josh Clopton vs. Steven Siler
• Bryan Caraway vs. Dustin Neace

After what was undeniably one of the best seasons of the ultimate fighter, the bantamweights and featherweights, along with their coaches will duel it out to be crowned the TUF season 14 champion(s).

Jason Mayhem Miller talks a lot of trash and dwells on the fact that Bisping got KTFO by Dan Henderson many fights ago.  I don’t know what Jason is yapping about, when is the last time he knocked anybody out?   Other than beating has-beens and cans, there hasn’t been too much to brag about.  Annoying as Bisping is, it does look like he will shut his opponent up.

John Dodson is damn quick, and T.J. Dillashaw is pretty damn quick himself.  These guys are very evenly matched, and definitely the top 2 of this weight class.  TJ has the size though, and his well rounded game appears more solid than Dodson.  Though he ducked Dodson during the series, it looks like it will pay off in the end.

Diego Brandao is simply wow.  Though Dennis can take a shot, many shots actually, Diego bangs harder than any other fighter on the show.  No contest in this one unless Dennis manages the take down Brandao and humps him for 3 rounds.

Why is Yves Edwards still fighting?  So that we can watch Tony Ferguson knock him out.

Looks like Bodog will be the place to bet on TUF 14, they are the only sportsbook so far with lines for all 4 main event fights.

The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale Picks and Odds

The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale

Location: Las Vegas, Nev.
Venue: Palms Casino Resort
Broadcast: Spike TV

TUF12 odds are brought to you by Sportsbook.com

• Stephan Bonnar -220 vs. Igor Pokrajac +180
• Finalist No. 1 vs. Finalist No. 2
• Kendall Grove +285 vs. Demian Maia -365
• Rick Story +180 vs. Johny Hendricks -220
• Ian Loveland vs. Tyler Toner
• Will Campuzano vs. Nick Pace
• Pablo Garza vs. Fredson Paixao
• Rich Attonito vs. Dave Branch

Countering Strikeforce Henderson vs Babalu, Dana White has decided to have TUF12 Finale the same night, Dec 04.  It is still undecided who the finalists will be, but the 2hour season finale will show the semi final fights between Team GSP fighters Kyle Watson vs Jonathan Brookins and Team GSP’s Michael Johnson vs Team Koscheck’s Nam Phan.

After taking care of business in the rematch vs Krzysztof Soszynski, Stephan Bonner appears to be given an easier fight in the form of Igor Pokrajac.  Pokrajac’s only win has come against James Irwin, and anybody can beat him.  There should be no reason when Stephan can’t get himself back to back wins, something he hasn’t done since 2007.

Kendell Grove has been a win one lose one type of fighter.  Since he won his last fight vs Goran Reljic, he will probably lose the upcoming fight to Demian Maia.  But I guess that is not the only reason why he will lose to Maia, Maia is tough with his only losses coming against Anderson Silva and Nate Marquardt.  Now Kendall’s biggest downfall is taking a punch and has not lost in a long time to a submission.  Demian can’t punch.  I would take a chance at an upset here and take Kendall Grove over Demian Maia.  At +285 very much worth a shot.

Rick Story is on an impressive 4 fight win streak and Johny Hendricks is on an impressive 4 fight win streak (6 if you include WEC).  Its time for somebody’s win streak to fall and this will be a battle against two similar fighters.  Usually when two fighters are similar I would take the underdog as it adds more value to your pick.  In this case it would be Story.  But in this case I think that Hendricks is the better fighter, and his skills in each factor are a little bit better.

Will post the Ultimate Fighter 2 finalists odds when it has been determined.

Ultimate Fighter 10 Odds

September 18th, 2009admin

The Ultimate Fighter 10 show just started the other day, but its not too late to bet on it.  Just don’t pick Abe Wagner.  Unless you think he’ll come back and actually want to fight.

Here were the odds before that fight

Rashad was very high on James McSweeny, maybe thats a good pick at +2000. Or you can go with Kimbo Slice!
