Jun 1, 2015 Wow looking at the odds, this might be the most competitive card the UFC has put on. Coming a few weeks after 187 which had some squash matches on paper(outside the M.E.). https://www.bestfightodds.com/events/ufc-fight-night-68-henderson-vs-boetsch-947
Jun 3, 2015 ^ya I'm leaning Boetsch by KO as well for a few reasons. Hendo's diminished chin, Boetsch's very good chin and 5 rounds. Hendo no longer uses his wrestling which is where Boetsch has had trouble before. I really want a Hendo win but I think he's done and gets caught at some point. Could even see Hendo win a couple rounds early because Boetsch tends to start slowly, but we've seen him come back late in both the Tavares and Okami fights. The Mitrione/Rothwell fight I'm split on, but I keep thinking back to Mitrione/Nelson and wouldn't be surprised if it turns out like that. Mitrione has definitely improved drastically since that fight but all it takes is one from Rothwell. Poirier/Medeiros is a very close fight, both are similar in that they can finish the fight wherever it goes. I'm having a tough time picking against Poirier after his LW debut, but this is a dangerous fight for him.
Jun 3, 2015 Surprisingly solid card. Hendo vs the Barbarian - coin toss could go either way... but I have a feeling Dan will look really old. but for some reason I picked him. MeatHead vs Rothwell... HWs someone is getting KO'd --- WAR MEATHEAD! Dustin Poirier vs Medeiros is a dope fight, close on paper. I will probably switch my pick a couple of times. Lets see how they look facing off at the weighin Tavares vs Ortega is weird, Ortega is coming off a failed drug test suspension and is fall less experienced. Soto vs Brichak was supposed to happen a couple of times. should be competitive Riviera vs Bruce Leroy - Riviera was taking it to Faber before the eye poke which led to his sub loss. Caceres is inconsistent. Lewis vs Jordan - HWs coin toss, I am taking Lewis. He has taken less damage. I don't feel like breaking any more down.
Jun 3, 2015 Dan will look old, but Boetsch seems to struggle against top guys. Almost is like a human punching bag. Reminds me of Homer during his boxing stint lol.
Jun 6, 2015 Ugh i want to be on the other side of a robbery one time with my Draft Kings picks. Took Abreu and im not sure how he didnt win both the first and third rounds...
Jun 6, 2015 d--- Birchak just starched Soto... Birchak vs Riviera next? and by next I mean later tonight, they are both fresh. Also apparently Ebersole is retiring
Jun 6, 2015 Rivera will probably get a top 10. I wouldnt mind watching Birchak welcome Lineker to the division though.
Jun 6, 2015 you are right about Riviera, and thats a great idea, somebody call Sean Shelby and tell him to make that fight.
Jun 6, 2015 TCITY b----! Displayed beautiful classic Gracie BJJ. I thought this was too much too soon. It turned out to be a war. Great TKO win! FON
