I love the fact they put the Light Heavyweight Tournament fights that nobody cares about on the prelims.

Curran/Freire is a tough one to bet. Slight edge to Curran though. He should have wrestling advantage and he is no slouch in the striking department. Mix that in with Freire not fighting since May 2011...ring rust and potential cardio issues with a fighter like Curran.

I don't know who the Mikhail guy is yet.

I like Chandler to beat Hawn.

[edman5555]

Mike guymon and savant young are both much older. Young doesnt have much on his record.
Mijhail zayats is a combat sambo champion. Dnt know how hed fare against sobral. Sobral is getting old.

I like Chandler as well. The only thing that would worry me is rick hawns punching power.

[edman5555]

[Mr. IWS]

ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu

forgot this was on.

[Thewisemann]

Hey poopoo I just seen you bet freire, I thought you liked Curran in this fight?

[Svino]

Man, what was I thinking, betting on Seth Petruzelli?

[MMA_scientist]

Man, what was I thinking, betting on Seth Petruzelli?

Honestly, when I saw that play, I thought it seemed pretty out of character for you.

[SPX]

Did anyone watch the King Mo special last night?

Yeah, I usually have a rule to stay away from former UFC guys fighting in smaller promotions, especially as favorites. Witness what happened to Renato Sobral, as well.

And in a bizarre epilogue, I noticed today that BookMaker has no record of my losing Bellator 85 bets. I know I entered them. Did I forget to hit "confirm" or something? Damn, I'm lucky.

[SPX]

You probably did forget to confirm them. That has happened to me several times (at least I assume that's what happened).

Yeah ive noticed they tend to lose a lot.
