Might as well bet the house on Fedor. A 32.25% ROI ain’t too shabby.

Keep firing Assholes!

Out out, you demons of stupidity!

Fedor is such a terrible matchup for Barnett.

Is he a good matchup for somebody?

Due to Cheick Kongo's atrocious takedown defense....
Walla walla walla, I’m an idiot

No, but I think he’s especially bad for Barnett. A guy like Arlovski or Lesnar have SOME advantages on Fedor.

Barnett’s only plus is that he’ll be bigger. But he’s not nearly as athletic, probably not as strong, not near the grappler/wrestler, can’t really strike for shit. At least in the Arlovski fight I could picture him having success in the standup. I see no such success in any aspect of the game for Barnett.

I think Barnett by decision wouldnt be a huge surpise. I cant see Fedor armbarring barnett or throwing up a triangle or anything from the bottom and Barnett is a big heavy guy. He could spend the entire fight pounding away looking for the Kimura, much like he did against Yvel. Mark Hunt had some success with that technique and his submission game was about as advanced as Kimbos. At some point its likely Fedor ends up on top and late in the fight especially Barnett might not have the answers for the gnp, but do you give Barnett much chance in getting the decision?

Not really. I think Barnett even getting through five rounds will be a challenge.

Not sure where you got these, but the Mousasi line is backwards. He opened at +160, and he’s already down to +105.

Tons of value on the two main events.

MMA betting is too damn easy, I swear…. If I could only stay away from Football, Soccer and Baseball i’d have a huge year. Bet the HOUSE on Mousasi and Fedor
