Ufc 123

Ufc 123 [B]UFC 123[/B] [B]Nik Lentz +175[/B] vs Tyson Griffin....Griffin had a hard time with Evan Dunham and Lentz has the same standup style, better record 21-3-2. [B]Karo Parisyan -125[/B] vs Dennis Hallman.....Hallman looks like a beat fighter before he gets into the Octagon, L2 of L3, Parisyan, younger, faster. [B]Aaron Simpson +120[/B] vs Mark Munoz....I guess this fight will take place on the mat, and we'll take Simpson a World Class wrestler, who should be eager to win after dominating Chris Leben in his last fight. [B]Matt Hughes +155[/B] vs BJ Penn.....losing his L2 fights to Frank Edgar is embarrassing, BJ doesn't train hard anymore and is reading his Hall of Fame clippings, Hughes far too smart to throw this opportunity away, value price to boot, should be a pk. [B]Rampage Jackson +220[/B] vs Lyoto Machida.......I know I'm in the minority on this one, but Rampage has a legit shot when his opponent doesn't take him down on the ground, Machida likes to counter and stand-up, this plays right into Jackson's power and striking.
I played Karo and Simpson too.
Only one I don't like of the 5 you played is Rampage. Rampage has the skills to beat anyone, but he doesn't utilize them.

I don't know but the number was good enough.

Lentz is a winner. Sounds like it was a bad decision, but it still counts. :)

Parisyan knocked out. This will air on the PPV for sure.
Ya nice effort from Parisyan, take your opponent for granted.....cripes!
The absolute inconsistencies in the judging has to stop. They should have been separated at least 3 or 4 times. It is ridiculous. We get another cheap win. Fight easily could have gone either way. Off to the cyber window for me!!! Great call....
Lucky decision no question about it, and I would not back Rampage in the rematch.
