UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen Picks/Odds/Results

R. K. Menn — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:19:33 +0000

For those of you new to the odds game, the favorite will have a negative (-) number, while the underdog will have a positive (+) number. MMA money lines are based on units of $100. If the favorite is -225, it means that you have to wager $225 to win $100. But if you are betting on the underdog, the formula is different. If the underdog is at +185, it means that if you wager $100 you will win $185 for a total of $285. Easy enough, right? Good.

Nick Diaz Retired? Don’t Be Scared, Homie!

R. K. Menn — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:00:23 +0000

When Georges "Rush" St Pierre out wrestled Nick "Stockton 209 Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu what?" Diaz for five rounds to retain the UFC welterweight title I wasn't at all surprised to hear him drop the R-bomb. After all, this is a fighter that is notoriously out-spoken and has never been particularly happy with fighting for a living. While immensely talented and gifted with the work ethic of a endurance athlete, he has never seemed happy with the fact he has to get into a cage and get beaten up for a paycheck. A part of me thinks that ol' Nick would be happier collecting minimum wage at his local gas station rather than competing with the elite 170lbers on the planet. He could smoke weed whenever he liked.

The Championship Hit List

R. K. Menn — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:09:28 +0000

There are a few questions in MMA that can be asked on a regular basis. These questions are normally asked because they prompt a nice wee debate about the content the question carried. I find asking who would win a fight between a prime Fedor and a prime Randy Couture to be quite the conversation starter. PRIDE or UFC? Absolutely anything regarding Brock Lesnar seems to cause pitch forks to be lifted, torches lit and cries for the witch to be burned. Of course, as demonstrated in a previous column, TRT can be quite the topic too.
