(Between the Frank Mir fight and "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot," I’d say some apologies are in order. I’ll let you gentlemen decide who would like to go first.)
Gambling ain’t what it used to be in the city of Portland. The dogs don’t run at the old Multnomah Greyhound Track anymore, so you’ll have to find somewhere else to get stabbed with a pocketknife. The Oregon lottery just doesn’t give you that sweet, out-of-control feeling you crave. Even the place where I used to go and watch the occasional cockfight has closed its doors. Thankfully, UFC 102 is coming down this weekend and bringing plenty of action with it. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Betting lines come to us courtesy of BestFightOdds.com:
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (+150) vs. Randy Couture (-160)
Keith Jardine (-140) vs. Thiago Silva (+130)
Demian Maia (+157) vs. Nate Marquardt (-160)
Brandon Vera (-190) vs. Krzysztof Soszynski (+175)
Chris Leben (-135) vs. Jake Rosholt (+125)
Chris Tuchscherer (+301) vs. Gabriel Gonzaga (-345)
Justin McCully (+249) vs. Mike Russow (-260)
Tim Hague (+145) vs. Tom Duffee (-150)
Ed Herman (-130) vs. Aaron Simpson (+119)
Mark Munoz (-200) vs. Nick Catone (+190)
Evan Dunham (+120) vs. Pat Barry, and I’m betting a cool ten bucks that he’ll deliver here.
Absolutely Don’t Bet Against: Mike Russow. The UFC knows what they have in this guy, which is why they’re giving him an easy one against McCully first. Gonna be a quick one.
Official Cage Potato Parlay: Couture + Marquardt + Gonzaga + Russow + Munoz. That’s all you need to know.

couture by exploding ear
Thu, 08/27/09 - 04:42
i know whats gonna happen. couture is gonna be beating big nog up when zing! a steel-tipped arrow from out of nowhere penetrates through couture's skull...rambo to the rescue bitches
Thu, 08/27/09 - 04:51
Why does the supposedly 30-something Nog look older than the 60-something Sly? Sucks for him.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 04:54
I love me some Nate the Great, but he's not getting anywhere near my parlay.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 05:08
guys... Leben is going to kill Rosholt. Rosholt is very overrated and barely made it in the WEC. Leben will knock him out and then Rosholt will be done in the UFC. I heard SF needs some b-level fighters so I assume he will go there. CP... Leben is an EASY bet. Mark my words, if he looses I'll eat my shorts
Thu, 08/27/09 - 05:11
Randy Couture (-160) Thiago Silva (+130) Nate Marquardt (-160) Brandon Vera (-190) Chris Leben (-135) So I got 4 out 5 on par with bestfightodds :) 48 hours putos!!
Thu, 08/27/09 - 05:31
heres my picks: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira(I will pick anyone over captain contract) Thiago Silva (+130) (by total destruction) Demian Maia (+157) (by absolute clinic ass BJJ) Krzysztof Soszynski (+175) (by knocked stiff and twitching) Chris Leben (-135) (by redheaded stepchild whipping) Gabriel Gonzaga (-345) (tapout due to mean mugging) vs. Mike Russow (-260) (just cause Ben says so ) Tom Duffee (-150) (seriously dont care 1 way or the other) Aaron Simpson (+119) (anyone over herman hes a puss) Mark Munoz (-200) (easy pickings) Marcus Aurelio (-140) (cause hes the man against low level nobody's)
Thu, 08/27/09 - 05:33
Did Stallone really get tatted sleeves? Jesus, he must be going through a hell of mid life crisis.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 05:33
Munoz is losing to Catone Marquardt will not F up any parlay HEY BENS --- it's been exactly 4 months 20 days since I won that contest and still haven't gotten that Shirt ! I'll take a magazine subscription at this point!
Thu, 08/27/09 - 06:13
Gonzaga looks like he might eat your face. I totally understand not betting against him.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 06:39
Randy Couture (-160) Thiago Silva (+130) Demian Maia (+157) Brandon Vera (-190) Chris Leben (-135) Chris Tuchscherer (+301) (crazy pick, I know... just a bad feeling) Mike Russow (-260) Tom Duffee (-150) Ed Herman (-130) Mark Munoz (-200) Marcus Aurelio (-140)
Thu, 08/27/09 - 06:45
Mid-life?!? I think that's a 2/3rds-life crisis at least. Sly's in damn good shape for his age, but he ain't living 120+.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 06:53
^^ HGH
Thu, 08/27/09 - 07:03
HGH: Horny Guido Hump
Thu, 08/27/09 - 07:25
totally HGH and prolly some other junk in there too. he looks like he's had too much plastic surgery. bitch ought reconsider those eyebrows. the tats might be for his new movie. in the poster he's covered with them.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 07:40
This is the first UFC event in a while I havent been stoked for, just doesnt seem to have the hype or interest.. the main event is 2 fighters way out of thier prime and the Thiago Silva will likely be the best of the night as he is just gonna destroy fur shure !!!!
Thu, 08/27/09 - 08:16
Yeah I'm thinking they should've shown this card on Spike instead of PPV. Me, I'm spending my cash on Hot Wings and drinks while watching this for free at the bar.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 08:32
I dunno... I think the card looks pretty solid top to bottom. The main event isn't super-"hypable", but I think all the matchups are intriguing.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 09:02
Not worth PPV. Not enough bigtime fights . . . . agreed!
Thu, 08/27/09 - 09:37
Maia's going to wreck your parlay.
Thu, 08/27/09 - 09:37
Agreed with the guy who pointed out Rosholt is a stupid pick here. With the exception of Jason MacDonald, who has much better jiu-jitsu than Rosholt, all of Leben's UFC losses have come against people who outstruck him. Rosholt doesn't have a chance in hell of outstriking Leben, and it's pretty hard to set up takedowns if you can't land a punch first.

Mike Russow host's and promotes fights in my hometown , kankakee IL. he's a standup guy with a intelligence and diligence inside and outside of the ring, everyone show a guy promoting the sport he and we share a love for , some love. War Russow !
Fri, 08/28/09 - 01:20

Fri, 08/28/09 - 05:02
oc what the fuck are you rambling on about?? CP you guys need to have some kind of screening process before anyone can sign up.. like you must prove that you can form a coherent thought that other people can understand before you are allowed to post.
Fri, 08/28/09 - 06:15
Is it just me or is the site now resizing properly when making the window smaller? How am I suppose to follow whats going on while pretending to do my job!?!?!
Fri, 08/28/09 - 06:17
@ArmFarmer I second that.
Fri, 08/28/09 - 07:26
oh hey. look its Nogueira vs. Couture. the fight i wanted to see this time last year...
Fri, 08/28/09 - 07:49
I like Ed Herman because he trains out of here at Quest but if anything I've heard about Aaron Simpson is true he's gonna wreck Herman.
Fri, 08/28/09 - 09:14
Meohfumado.... That had to be one of the most retarded comments ever. Midlife crisis don't happen in the middle of your life. Its a term coined when a person realizes youth is passing and they are getting old so they make a dramatic change. Average age is 40-60, Stallone got the tats in 2007 making him 61 years old.
Fri, 08/28/09 - 09:19
Couture Jardine Maia Soszynski Rosholt *Tuchscherer Russow Duffie Herman Munoz Dunham BET ON IT!!
Fri, 08/28/09 - 09:51
Couture Silva Maia K-Sos Leben Tuch Russow blah blah Don't think i can bring myself to put up the $45 dollars for this one (plus $200 on beer for myself). Might have to mosey on over to BWW which seems so depressing, fuck it.
Fri, 08/28/09 - 10:41
$200 in beer just for yourself? You a fish? Couture Silva Marquardt K-Sos Leben
Fri, 08/28/09 - 01:30
damn, no one's giving Minotauro a chance eh? fuckin A. Just hypes me up more to see this fight go down tomorrow
Fri, 08/28/09 - 01:41
It's good to see that Mario & Wario finally are huggin' it out.
