Bendo vs Grant

[Luke]

Bendo -200?

If Bendo is -200, I will unload my kids college fund.

I won't be surprised to see him around -185.

[MMA_scientist]

We'll see, if so, I will be betting him. My guess is closer to -300, but I would still bet that.

[edman5555]

Grant seems like he is good.

[MMA_scientist]

But what does he do better than Bendo?

[poopoo333]

This fight is going to be very close. If the handicap pt spread line is like..+6.5 at anything close to even money...damn son. I'm gonna be all over that.

[MMA_scientist]

I think Bendo will wipe him out with takedowns and GNP. But he decides to keep it up, I think he wins that too. I don't think it will be close at all.

[edman5555]

I haven't seen a lot of grant fights. Just saw him tkoing maynard.

I was just logging in to post the same thing. He should get plus 6.5 points because its a five rounder. That means he only has to win one round correct? Should happen. Bendo doesnt tend to knock anyone out and tj grant is a pretty good grappler so the most likely path to victory for bendo is by decision. Tj could stop him.

Scientist, you say grant will get wiped out? I dnt get it. Isnt his takedown defense decent? He is pretty damn large too. He also beat johnny futurexhamp hensricks according to one of the judges.

[edman5555]

Going through play by plays. Grant stuffed shane roller and took him down for three rounds.

Grant stuffed hendricks a couple times in their fight. He was taken down a few times, he got back up quickly after getting taken down each time except for one time in the end. Sherdog gave grant rounds one and two.

Dong hyun kim dominated grant.

Dunham got grant down a few times.

Could be close. Bendo is a great grappler. You could be right scientist. I do think grant can win a round though. I would be worried that grant fades and gets choked out in the latter rounds though.

I think Henderson will have a hard time taking Grant down and on the feet, he will lose that battle too. Grant is very aggressive and Henderson likes to fight at long range and not up close, from what i remember. He might win the clinch battle against the cage but Grant is no joke there either. I will bet Grant, but I think money is gonna come in Henderson on fight night.

[edman5555]

I think grants size should help early in the fight and potentially hurt later in the fight. Bendo is always in superb shape.
