I am pretty clueless about this one.

psh, with dream, the line up will probably change 10 times before may 29th

[SPX]

1. Isn't DREAM pretty much dead?

2. I assume Aoki will be a favorite over Varner, but how much is the question if his line is something reasonable like -130 or something then I would take him. Varner's striking will be much better than Aoki's but as long as Aoki can get him down Varner should get subbed. Also, I think Ishida probably wrestlefucks his way to a win over Hansen.

I remember when we used to always talk about putting something on every underdog on one of these Japanese cards, and I finally did it one night and it was like a favorite sweep LOL. Fuck Japanese MMA

[SPX]

No shit. I think out of maybe a total of 10 or so bets that I've ever made on JMMA cards, I've only won like 2 of them. It doesn't matter if I go with the dog or the favorite, I almost always lose. It's like there's a cosmic conspiracy against me or something.

I think Varner can beat Aoki. He could get subbed though.

[SPX]

Why don't you add some analysis to that statement?

Why don't you add some analysis to that statement?

What more is there to say? Unless Varner actively tries to stay the fuck away from Aoki he's screwed because his sub defense isn't near good enough to avoid getting crippled. But most likely Varner will come to fight and Aoki will just come to grapple.
