Whats the difference?

Whats the difference?

One is chocolate, one is vanilla.

[poopoo333]

I really don't see how Rockhold loses this fight...especially in a 5 rounder. I'm hoping he is better than -300.

[Luke]

I have my doubts. Probably be -400

[poopoo333]

Yeah he opened at -405.

[Luke]

Yeah he opened at -405.

Bol, seriously? That's funny. Spx would still tell me I was wrong though

You dont see phillipou being able to land a big punch? I dont really see it happening much either. I figure rockhold will probably use his kicking game and/or attempt to wrestle him to the ground.

If his only out is to land a big punch, I'm not going to bet on him.

[edman5555]

Neither would i but i would be hesitant to bet rockhold if i thought the possibility was real. Phillipou by tko might be a decent hedge.

[poopoo333]

Luke Rockhold vs Costas Phillipou: I don't see any outs for Phillipou here unless he lands a KO punch. I think Rockhold is the better complete fighter and will be able to keep Phillipou at distance and even back him up against the cage and pick him apart. I also think he has the grappling edge. He can be taken down for sure but he does a great job at getting back to his feet as well as even being able to transition to advantageous positions. Rockhold's layoff as well as being susceptible to injuries concerns me but I don't think it will really matter here. He is -380 right now and will probably be worth a bet at - the points if it's around -250 imo. Might be parlay material with another fighter on this card but I haven't gotten to them yet. Not really a great "breakdown" here but Rockhold is just better everywhere..it's simple as that.

[Luke]

Am I the only one not forgetting Rockhold beat Jacare? Phillipou is a bum...........end of story

Romero/brunson:

Romero obviously has a huge advantage in the wrestling department. Brunson has a slim chance of holding him down. He had enough trouble doing that to leben. The fact that leben won a round in their fight makes me want tonbet romero just because leben has looked sonbad recently. Im not sure how the striking will play out, i think romero should win that.

A D2 wrestler has no chance of holding down an Olympic wrestler

Like Romero and Dariush

Romero should be better everywhere. Bariush at + odds- really good BJJ guy, though he is green, brenneman only has one game, wrestlehump. I think there is a good chance Dariush finds himself on Brenneman's back or locking up a triangle. He will probably gas out though, since he is a relative newb, maybe take the Dariush sub prop.

[Luke]

Like Romero and Dariush

Dariush already won . Doesnt count

[MMA_scientist]

jesus, why has this started already?

I swear I didn't even know it. I went out to make a bet about that RNC, hand to god. I was like, finally, a grappler on grappler match, the only thing I know any more.

Lol, I have no idea but it started at 4pm. Don't think it starts on FS1 till 5pm though.

[poopoo333]
