I put points on Le because I dont think Frank is going to try to take him down. If Frank was willing to stand with Phil Baroni then he will try to stand with Le. I think Le will pull off a decision win.

I also agree with your assessment on this.
And I think Miletich nailed it on Inside MMA.
He didn't say (like everyone else is saying) that Frank needs to take this to the ground.
He said Frank's obviously better on the ground (Cung's got a good takedown defense). Standing up Frank needs to stay close 'cause he's got better hands.
Most of all, I want a clear cut finish in this one.
Frank losing via KO/TKO would kinda humble him a bit and he'd need that.
But on the other hand, I still have a soft spot for the guy no matter how much crap he's talked. He was my first fave fighter. One of the first well-rounded guys out there, and his instructionals were the first ones I ever got. Sub or knockout, please.
That's exactly how I think about Frank Gooner and why I'm going with him on this fight. There just is no doubt the level and caliber of fighter he is, and although you can argue his age, we've seen the age argument many times just not be an argument in MMA.
I think Frank is just too complete a package vs. a Le that still has alot of questions about him.
I dont buy into this cult (and they are a cult out here in San Jose), San Shou following he has that makes Le to be some God or something. I don't buy that Le is really all that much more than a great kickboxer who uses it well in MMA who has never been challenged at all on the ground.

I saw you went 400k on Shammy too Twigz. Solid man.
I countered with another 150k.
My gym borders both Shammy's gym and Cung's. This is huge out here in San Jose. This is pure old school "My Master vs Your master" stuff.
I dont know if I should go ALL IN ala Opsy Style on Frank.
I'm the type that still likes to keep 700 k for a rainy day.
Lol. Although Everything to me says Franks gonna pull a win out one way or another.
I'm palpitating right now. Call me a doctor. This fight? I've been Waiting for, for a LONG LONG time, as have both Shamrock and Le and their respective students.

Well with me it was in a drunken haze on the LIddell/Rampage fight and somehow I won like 800k on all my bets. It was epic. I was so excited the night before about going to the event and my flight was like in 8 hours, so I was on here all messed up dropping 14 k here, 20k there, and 90 k on Rampage.
I went to that event, and when I came back the Sunday after? (May 27th, 2007)? Opsy has this PM for me saying "Youre Rich Biotch".
And then the points accumulation sorta took on a life of its own.
