I really hope they add one more fight for the co main event.

Line guesses on Bisping/Belfort? I think it will be around even, but I wouldn't mind see Bisping come out around +150. Most likely that will not happen, as Belcher was +165 against Belfort when that fight was scheduled.

Gonzaga/Rothwell is pretty interesting.

Markes/Craig is going to be a good one...I will probably keep riding the Markes wagon.

I am going to be betting Lentz over Nunes at + numbers (Why is this not on the main card?)

Salas has potential for the upset over Barboza.

[Mr. IWS]

I love Belfort. -180?

[poopoo333]

I love Belfort. -180?

Honestly I think you will be getting him around -140 at worst.

[SPX]

I'll bet Bisping as a dog.

[poopoo333]

I'll bet Bisping as a dog.

Lentz over Nunes? I think Nunes takes it.

[Svino]

I think Belfort / Bisping will be close to even when it comes out. If so, I will probably be betting Vitor. If Vitor comes out as a substantial favorite, I'll pass.

Vitor at -154 seems like a pretty good deal to me. Bisping can win with takedowns... but I think Vitor is a lot more crafty on the mat than he gets credit for (if Bisping can get him down).

[poopoo333]

I bet Bisping at +160 for the max they allowed ($100). Back down to +120 now

[SPX]

If I can get Bisping at +160 I'll probably throw half a unit on it.

[poopoo333]

I tried to throw 5u on it ($200) but they only let you bet the openers $100...kinda sucks

[MMA_scientist]

How do you guys see Bisping winning here?

[SPX]

I could just see him outpointing Vitor, especially in the 2nd and 3rd rds. Bisping is hard to finish, too. So if Vitor doesn't do it in the first then I'm not sure he'll do it.

[MMA_scientist]

Well, I think he is going to get his fuckin ass whipped. So, fuck you.

[SPX]

I could see that, too. But I do not think Vitor should be a big favorite here.

[Svino]

I could definitely see wrestler-Bisping beating Vitor.

I can't imagine the guy I just saw fight Brian Stann beating Vitor on the feet though. Not even over 3 rounds; I think Vitor has underrated cardio.

[SPX]

Since when is Brian Stann a bad fighter, though?

[MMA_scientist]

Stann is 2nd tier at best, and even then, he only does well against other strikers. Bisping gets dropped all the time (Wand, Rivera, Stann?, Hendo, Kang)... I think Vitor will find his chin and then swarm him. I would say Vitor is the best striker Bisping has faced of that group.

I fully expect Bisping to come to grapple.
