I'm not going back through 30 pages but whats everyone thoughts on Florian-Maynard?

Really Liking Florini via UD. I think he will be able to keep the fight standing and pick Maynard apart for 3 rounds.

Florian wins via superior striking, threatening submissions, and improved takedown defense.

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

My possible bets so far:

Salter, Maynard, Gabe Reudiger, Mario Miranda, Marcus Davis,

I think Maynard will outwrestle Florian and I dont think Florian will submit him off his back.

Gabe R is a BB in BJJ with a similar record compared to J LO and he is a big Udog. He might be able to out grapple J LO. As I type this I just read that Gabe R is taking this fight on 3 weeks notice. Now I am not sure.

M Miranda, everyone knows why..I wish I got him at +280 though. I think he has a very good chance of winning.

M Davis. I think he will outbox N diaz and he is no slouch on the ground himself. Can N D get take him down? I don't know. Anyone's thoughts?

Maynard outboxed Diaz. Thats not too bad. I think Florian will have better standup but keep in mind he won't be able to use his kicks the same way. Maynard is pretty quick too..He took down F edgar many times. He won every single round and took him down every single round. Nobody has beaten him. This is a tough call.

I think this is a step up in comp for Maynard. Yes, he beat Edgar, but I think if they fought today it may very well be a different story. Besides, in that fight the size difference was obvious as Edgar was one of the smallest fighters in the division. (He still is, but has put some weight on.)

Maynard struggled with Huerta, while Florian schooled him. Maynard's striking is not nearly as sophisticated. His ONLY chance to win this is via top control UD, in my opinion. Can he do that? Sure, he CAN. But will he? I'd have to get a better price on him to take that chance because I doubt it.

I thinking the samething .

I think Nate Diaz somehow gets credit for his striking that really belongs to his brother. It's like people think they're brothers so they both strike just as well as the other. Really, Nick is a step behind his brother in all areas and always has been. Diaz is 2-3 in his last 5. There's a reason for that.

Anyone considering a bet on Toney? 100 bucks to win 550.

I've considered it. If the line goes higher by fight time I'll probably drop .25u on him, but I hope Randy chokes the shit out of him. Literally. I hope after the fight Toney got choked so hard that there are little bits of Toney shit on the Octagon floor.

In case you guys forgot, Kenny Florian finishes fights.

He really does.

Do you realize that in 18 fights he's only been to a decision 3 times?

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

I'll say one thing about J-Lo, and that's that he better bring some more skills than be brought against Stout if he wants to justify that -325 line.

He has by far the most RNCs ever in the UFC, with 7. Real talk.
