Wow the odds look almost exactly like I thought they would. I can see Aldana beating Buentello, they both have heavy hands and that will be a slugfest from the word go! If Mir is his old self he will beat Cruz with no problem but no one knows for sure what we are going to see from Mir.

hmm very intersting look forward to betting when it opens up.
by the way does UFC no longer allow US bars to show their PPV's, notice the link has been disconnected since December.

IYAOYAS

I know here in New Orleans there are no bars that ever showed the events. However, I do know that the "club" on the navy base I am stationed at is showing the event. Hopfully they will continue to show them and save me $35 a month. I do know there was a bar in NE Ohio that was showing them.

Jras0001

the way it was explained to me about ppv's and bars and such is that the owner / operator of the establishment that wants to show the ppv has to pay the ppv price per customer that comes in and watches it. they figure this out by the occupancy limit of the establishment.

now, bear in mind, this was explained to me by a bar owner when i was stationed in california and it was in reference to a mike tyson fight that was coming up. there may be different rules the ufc goes with concerning their ppv's and what not.

How is Riggs and Diaz a pickem fight? Diaz can end it standing or on the ground, he is just a better fighter than Riggs and Diaz is fighting at his natural weight class while Riggs will be going through hell to make weight again.

is there anyone that lives in the Dallas-Ft. worth area that might know of a local bar/restaurant showing the event? I thought I heard Hooter's would be showing them but that was several months ago and I'd rather watch it on a big screen.

IYAOYAS

The UFC usually has a list of sports bars where you can watch the PPV, but it's not linked at the moment. Here is the webpage:

yeah I noted that earlier, the link was working up until Dec-Jan, so wonder if new year brought about some changes.

somnus

The bar by me has every UFC. I plan on going there to watch it, like I do every time, so I'll check into it tomorrow and find out.

Diaz is going to finish of Riggs in the first two rounds

GSPALLTHEWAY

i love the odds for eilers, maybe even randy... and riggs is a pretty big underdog now, i will bet all 3 prolly, mostly eilers, hes so tough, and lost to the best 2 HW there are in the UFC

Eraser2K1NIN

Eilers looks goofy ...lol
he also needs help with his cardio
I think Vera will take him out ...

SWIBC

Thanks for the update.
Very much appreciated.
Nothing like watching fighting while looking at some orange T&A.
Guess Hooter's is the main hangout for the Texas area

IYAOYAS

Here are even more up to date odds...

- Frank Mir -232 VS Marcio Cruz +212 - Mir opened as the favorite and continues to be. You would have to bet $232 on Mir to win $100. If you like Cruz the underdog, you would bet just $100 to win $212.

- Renato "Babalu" Sobral -368 VS Mike Van Arsdale +338
Babalu is continued to see money go on him.

- Brandon Vera -243 VS Justin Eilers +223
Vera has opened the favorite and a little money has come down on Eilers.

- Paul Buentello -238 VS Gilbert Aldano +218
Buentello opened as the favorite and stays as the favorite.

- Jeff Monson -245 VS Brandon Lee Hinkle +225
The snowman is the solid favorite in this fight.

- Mike Whitehead +118 VS Keith Jardine -128
Pretty close to a picke'em with Jardine as a slight favorite.

- Alessio Sakara -392 VS Elvis Sinosic +352
Money keeps going to the favorite Sakara.

- Chuck Liddell -188 VS Randy Couture +178
Money has come down on Couture as of late.

- Nick Diaz -200 VS Joe Riggs +180
Everyone seems to be betting Diaz over Riggs.

Glad some people realized that Nick should be the favorite in that fight. Babalu is a huge favorite. And Honestly deserves to be. I wouldn't be suprised if he was at -400 by the time of the fight.
