    Why would you bet Sonnen @ -450 or higher, when you can bet Dunham @ -280? I actually think Dunham is more of a lock.

    Sonnen gets subbed, and Bisping has a decent guard. I also think Sonnen will win, but the line is ridiculous.

    Dunham-Camozzi parlay is what I am thinking.

        I'm thinking about a 5u bet on Dunham/Sonnen. I will probably just bet Dunham straight too.

          I'm with Scientist here man. I think Sonnen @ that price is just dangerous. It is not like Bisping sucks. I think there will be much better bets on the undercard.

            I kinda like that better than playing him straight.

              So how does he win?

              Does he knock Sonnen out? Decision him? Sub him? I mean, there's always the fluke, but discounting that, what is his path to victory?

              No one seems to have one.

                He could sub him. I actually think Bisping has better subs than Anderson Silva. At least he seems to have a more active guard.

                I actually think Sonnen might get the better of the stand up. And more than likely he wins. I just hate to bet such long odds on a guy who is not the definition of dependable. Those long odds to me are only for guys like GSP and mismatches like Couture-Toney. But in all actuality I just try to stay away from bets like this period. I say if you want to bet 10 units 0n Sonnen to win 2...just bet 4 units on Sonnen-Dunham to win 2. Might save you 6 units.

                  He doesn't have a single submission win in the UFC. He may have an active guard, but what's that mean if he never actually finishes anyone?

                  I understand the sentiment, but in reality he only gets subbed by guys who have proven submission prowess. Silva, Maia, Filho, etc.

                  Even Marquardt couldn't lock anything in.

                    I still hate myself for not putting my life savings on Couture @-460.

                    Except a guillotine that Sonnen gutted out of.

                      Well that wasn't locked in then, was it?

                        It was, but Sonnen just waited until Marquardt got tired

                          Well it's a choke, not a headlock. If it had been "locked in" in the sense that I mean it, then Sonnen either would've been forced to tap or go to sleep.

                            i dont remember any of CamozzĂ­'s fight how or he fights. Does he use wrestling and often goes for TD ? Is he a wrestler ?

                              Chael gets subbed by very good black belts. Bisping never subs anyone.
                              1 unit = 300 $

                                I doubt Bisping will submit him. Sonnen gets subbed, but he spends a lot of time in guard. Per minute of being inside the guard, his submission rate is probably pretty low. I think Bisping could win by using his underrated wrestling and just having a higher work rate standing. I agree though, that there is not a real viable path for him. Its just, he wins. He usually finds a way to win or at least keep it really close. He hasn't really been dominated in a fight, other than when Hendo KO'd him. But up until the KO, it was a pretty even fight (Bisping tried to take Hendo down too, but he got massively stuffed).

                                You know what? Sonnen is going to win this.
