Some of these are completely out of whack. Almeida stands a very good chance against Cote, despite being red hot. Vera is a bad match-up for Werdum and I can see Wiman giving Tavares problems.

Tanner/Grove

I’d love to stay true to team Tanner, but he looked soooooo old in that last match. Has Grove’s star fallen that much?

Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.

I think Vera will smoke Werdum and I think McFedries just has to jab Eastman and he’ll get the knockout.

booboo

Wandy/Tito? Machida/Jardine? Interesting matchups, but it looks like a typo.

I really like Dustin Hazelett. He looked great in his last fight.

wandy/jardine still has those numbers? I think Jardine has a very good chance of beating Wanderlei in this fight. Stephens and Fisher looks odd too.

the two that stand out......

the two underdogs that stand out are Hazlett over Burkman and Almieda over Cote. I like both of those bets. Also, my personal feeling is Lytle beats Koscheck. Just my two cents on the subject….
