British Forum BETTING thread

Not really mate, Edgar should of been a feather his whole career but opted to fight at 155 to give himself an edge in speed & movement (His main attributes) at 145 those advantages go away, Yes he'll be lighter so in theory should be faster but i don't think his sped will be anything Aldo hasn't seen before. Its his first time making a weight cut and its a 5 round fight so we don't know how that will affect.

Aldo doesn't really have weight issues, he struggled the last time because he was on heavy antibiotics recovering from a bad staph infection which seriously ****ed up his cut. My only worry with Aldo is how he deals with the year long layoff.

Style wise this is a terrible matchup for Edgar. He's not a finish first fighter he's a point fighter who uses speed & movement to dart in and out of exchanges mixing up striking with takedowns to score points, there's a few problems with that.

(1) He's never ever going to outstrike Aldo, he doesn't have the tools.

(2) Aldo has the best takedown defense in the ufc bar none, he's stopped 52 out of 55 takedown attempts so Edgar will have a nightmare getting him down. even if he does manage to get him down a few times, he wont keep him down because he never does, he's not a lay n pray or ground n pound guy, he gets takedowns to score points not to get a dominant position and hold it.

(3) Aldo's the best leg kicker around, once he lands a couple Edgar's main tool of movement will go away and he'll be a sitting duck.

There's only one way i see this fight playing out. Edgar starts fast and has some success early while Aldo shakes off a bit of ring rust, once he does that and starts landing those leg kicks Edgar will slow down and get the living **** beat out him for the remainder of the fight. I don't think Aldo will stop him because Edgar can take it like no one else but he'll leave him looking a lot worse than Henderson did.

I think the 2/1 Aldo decision is a nice price. but that's just my analysis if you have a hunch on an Edgar KO don't let me or any one else talk you out of it

 

All down to France. Surely they can better Italy by 10 points or more?

 

To be honest mate he's the only one who could lose so I've done a Heiron single to cover

Also did Rivera, Edwards, Tibau treble & Aldo decision both around 2/1

****ing loads of bets on tonight, if half of them come in im up big money

 

So whats the main ufc tip tonight boys fancy a bet to wake up did that 7/2 treble last week so many thanks

 

Evans, Overeem, & Aldo pts, slightly over 3/1 and a lock in my estimation

 

Cheers bro prob go with a straight win treble on them thanks

im on full,.,.

 

i got 3.12/1 what site did u use?

 

ladddys mate

TrebleAcc. Odds: 4.50

 

i just realised that was the individual odds 2/1 my bad

 

LOL Overeem got ****ed up i knew if i bet he would lose

 

Aldo on points at 2/1 was a good enough price on its own. Piling up short odds favourites to bump up accas for the sake of making a 2/1 into a 3 or 4/1 is the road to madness.

 

What a **** night for he ufc, thank **** Aldo pts & Maia came through, just about broke even

 

13/8 for Frampton on points looks alright, evens for the stoppage. I'd have thought they'd be the other way round.

Just looking through oddschecker, don't know why Seth Mitchell is 8/15 for the Banks rematch. It's not like Banks got lucky first time, he straight up exposed him.

 

Nicely spotted thanks. Will put some cash on bank, no stoppage price as yet.
