Am I the only one who thinks ...

... Prater’s a live dog at +255? The odds makers must have only seen his fight against Condit. You get caught in one guillotine and nobody takes you seriously?

Larson’s submission defense is lacking. Maybe it’s improved, but he’s going to have to show me.

But Larson has the strength of a gorilla.

Eh

I saw Prater’s fight against Minu and he looked unspectacular there as well. Larson has very good jit-jitsu power and wrestling in his arsenal, which I think will be the difference maker.

I still like Prater at +255. Larson is good, I agree. He may just GnP Prater until he is bloody and then just keep going. Larson should be the favorite, BUT I think Larson is prone to getting caught by a guy on the bottom. Praters reach will work i his favor so I think he might have a slight edge on the feet. Given Larson’s less then stellar showing v. Alessio, I think Prater has a pretty good shot.

There are a lot of live dogs...

Hicks, Page and Grispi all have a better shot than the odds have them in my eyes. And I even am taking Cantwell in an upset..I think he was doing things right but got caught in the first fight…he has much better technical striking and could wear Stann out.

My gut says jump all over Damacio Page at +190 becasue Bowles just can’t be for real, but then watch last few fight and ask your self if you want to bet against him. I said no, but maybe you say otherwise. I just won’t go near that match.

I like Grispi to be sure, but I think Hicks is a reach.
