Straus +160 all day.

Marx has dat dere wrestler value if his line gets better.

Zaromskis is a flake, no way he should be -320 in a fight that is going to be a slugfest.

How does Petruzelli match up against wrestlers?

[Ludo]

Petruzelli's takedown defense isn't great, he got taken down by Ricardo Romero and absolutely ragdolled by Vemola. Seeing how poorly Romero did after ripping Seth's arm off I'd say it's a fairly safe assumption that his T3D isn't great.

Fuck..should have taken Strauss when his line was better. Hopefully it opens on 5d soon at a better line

[trotterz]

it never opens better at 5 dimes .....Usually 5 dimes always wait to see the way the line moves and put it a little further.

Ex: if Fighter A opened at bookmaker at +200 and moved to +150 ... you can expect 5dimes to open it at around +135 +140

it has always been like that for years. 5 Dimes are almost always waiting to see the line movement before posting their lines

[Vandelay]

Sandro has great tdd, good bjj (although i doubt he subs straus off his back), good striking. However, he hasn't looked great his last couple bouts. He looked tentative and hesitant against popo, his chin seems to be fading, and his reflexes arent what they once were. Straus is a strong fighter. Solid takedowns, solid striking, good chin, great endurance.

I believe sandro is the better fighter, but I see straus just being more active everywhere and taking a decision. I envision Straus mixing in td attempts, clinching, wall and stall, and throwing many strikes in order to take a close dec.

[poopoo333]

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

[Svino]

Completely bullshit cut stoppage screwing me on the Spiritwolf / Zaromskis fight.

[poopoo333]

I know that feel, bro.
