Wow, I’m liking some of these odds.

Toner at +240? Visher is definitely going to be tough, but Toner could flatten him. Even Karalexis at +505 is nuts. I mean, I don’t think he’ll win, but +505? Njokuani at +110

i think the Njokuani line is right… Roller is going to put him to the ground over and over again. he had problems with the strength of castillo but Nojo is too long to fend off sub attempts again and again. i think karalexis could be a great play given his hands, the baneulos line is tempting, and even manny i see a value for

Roller also got bombed and gassed out. The only reason he won is due to his survivability. He has some heart for sure, but Njokuani is going to hit him way harder than anything Castillo brought, and Njokuani isn’t exactly easy to takedown. Roller’s takedowns haven’t fully transitioned to MMA in my opinion. I think he gets punched into unconsciousness.

While i would love to see that because nojo is awesome and GIGANTIC for 155 (perfect fit when they go to the UFC), i really think this fight ends by either decision or sub for roller… he gassed because he was going against someone in castillo with more strength and power in the same skillsets, and he survived (through being dominated most of the fight) but nojo’s long limbs and skinny neck must look pretty good to roller

Damn I didn't realize Njokuani was on a three fight KOTN streak

Roller better put him on his ass and keep him there or it’s gonna be a short night

Goddamn it ...

… that’s a great card.

WEC is my favorite promotion going. End of story. There’s not a fight on there I don’t want to see.
