10 Legendary MMA Fighters You've Probably Never Heard Of

Gambling Addiction Enabler: UFC 102


(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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Not worth PPV. Not enough bigtime fights . . . . agreed!

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.

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.

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 !!!!

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+.

Gonzaga looks like he might eat your face. I totally understand not betting against him.
