yeah

Pettis looked outstanding against Shane Roller. He’s like a much better version of Donald Cerrone, so I think Pettis might take the belt, maybe even be in the UFC by late next year.

i'll take pettis too. i hope he is a +200 for this fight too?

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez. The most hated and misunderstood person on the MMA blogs.. Utah and Boise take care of business in week one. Don't be surprised if they both go undefeated.
