Tonite at 9 pm eastern live on Versus we will get the zuffa’s latest installment at WEC 35. My expertise as a handicapper and bettor have been brought into question by Golden Joe Willis, and we will be locking horns in an all out epic pick ‘em slugfest. The winner will have bragging rights until next weekend’s UFC 87.
Main Card
Carlos Condit (-600) vs. Hiromitsu Miura (+450)
BadVibes: This fight is pretty cut and dry. Miura is a tough opponent, but he really can’t hang with Condit anywhere. Condit will be one step ahead the whole fight and finish in the second round via submission.
Golden Joe Willis: Miura’s grit and striking ability are going to be enough to shock the world. That combined with the fact that he looks like Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat will be enough to score the KO victory.
Brian Stann (-400) vs. Steve Cantwell (+300)
BadVibes: Brian Stann has yet to be taken past the first round against any opponent. Furthermore he has knocked out every single last one of them… oh yeah, one of those guys was Steve Cantwell. There’s no reason to think it will be any different this time. Stann via first round KO.
Golden Joe Willis: Cantwell must feel well about weighing in 4 pounds heavier that his opponent Stann in this light heavyweight rematch. Everyone loves a trilogy, so I’m going with Cantwell by wishful Thinking.
Jamie Varner (-230) vs. Marcus Hicks (+180)
BadVibes and Golden Joe Willis: We’re both going with Hicks by submission in this fight. The win over Rob McCullough was a fluke more than anything. Hicks is a lot for anyone to handle at 155 pounds, and way too much for Jamie Varner. Marcus Hicks by Submission
Brian Bowles (-220) vs. Damacio Page (+180)
BadVibes: Plain and simple… Brian Bowles is a machine. He’s going to take Page to the ground and go to work on him. Even though Bowles hasn’t seen a fight go to decision, I believe the tough Greg Jackson trained fighter, Page, will take him the distance. Bowles by decision.
Golden Joe Willis: I can’t very well pick against any fighter with the nickname “the angel of death”. Page is gonna come out smokin’ hot and end it quick with a violent KO. Page by KO round 1.
Micah Miller (-200) vs. Josh Grispi (+160)
BadVibes and Golden Joe Willis: We’re both in agreement here too with the nod going to Micah Miller. Miller is more experienced at this level and is a solid 145 gatekeeper. He’s like the Karo Parysian of the WEC featherweight division. Joe thinks this one will end by KO, while I think that Grispi will get caught getting over aggressive in a triangle. Miller by submission.
That does it for the main card action… we’re not trying to write a novel here, so the undercard is just picks, no analysis. Enjoy the action tonite and be sure to check back for a recap and final thoughts tomorrow.
