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

I have my doubts. Probably be -400

[poopoo333]

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.

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.
