Hawn should destroy Parisyan. He is almost Paulo Filho.

I like Curran because I know how good he is but Shabulat Shamhalaev has recorded three tko wins so far in bellator. Three for three isn't bad. Some of Shabulat's fights don't even have records for them. It looks like he spent his entire career in Russia. He has done well since coming here though. Currans record speaks for itself here though. The only issue is his line will most likely be ridiculous.

Magomedrasul Khasbulaev might be able to take Richman. Richman has some power in his hands and good takedown defense. Ive seen a little of his fights but I don't know much about Khasbulaev other than he seems to be a well rounde RusFighters guy. That seems to be a good gym to me. Khasbulaev has a lot of wins by submision and he has never been knocked out. He might be a decent bet against Richman depending on the odds.

Lyman Good over Dante Rivera. Probably a good bet on Good. Rivera seems like most of his wins come by way of submission. Lyman stopped a lot of Askrens takedowns and has very good standup. Rivera is coming down from 185 though. He might be able to use some muscle to put Lyman up against the cage.

Only real lock I see on here is Rick Hawn.

Damn, I feel bad for Karo. Hawn is a tough way to get welcomed into Bellator. Seems like they would've given him a tune up with some no name guy before throwing him to the wolves.

You know, I missed it the first time, but that's Dante Rivera . . . of TUF fame . . . who hasn't fought in 3 years . . . fighting Lyman Good.

All fucking in on Good.

[edman5555]

Rivera is 38 as well. I dont think he was anything amazing to begin with though i will say all his losses are to good fighters. Ill still be doing a hawn good parlay. Should be pretty damn close to a lock.

[SPX]

He's pretty much lost to anyone with a name. I'm actually kind of surprised he beat Dan Cramer (though it was a split).

Good should fuck him up without a lot of trouble.

Apparently Hawn opened at -265. Sorry I missed that.

And where's the line for Good/Rivera?

[edman5555]

Sorry I missed it too. Looks like we aren't getting a line.

Curran's line is nuts.

Prelims don't get lines.

Curran's line is nuts.

Think so? The Russian has been on a rampage lately.

Prelims don't get lines.

Seems like sometimes they do if the names are big enough.

Not since Kalikas took over 5 dimes.

[SPX]

Well there are other books. Hopefully someone else will open it.
