This is the same card Hendo-Belfort 3 will be on

[CriticalHit]

Honestly, this has me scratching my head. I thought Glover vs the Rumble/Manuwa winner would be a lock. They both just rebounded but for Cummins this is a huge step up.

Only thing I can figure is they want to see his TDD tested by a wrestler after that poor Davis performance.

That's probably about right. Not sure how much BUSINESS sense it makes but it's logical. If Glover can't get by Cummins well . . . that sucks. I'm not sure Cummins has the MMA wrestling of Davis, though.

[Luke]

Apparently Glover-Cummins is set. Line guesses? I say Glover -275.

After watching his last fight/cardio, I believe Glover that he was out of shape for the Davis fight. Davis is not that good

Good estimate. -275 sounds about right. Maybe on the lower end of the 200s. If it gets any better than that I'd definitely take Cummins via wrestlefuck.

I wouldn't bet Glover if it is -275. Highest I'd probably take Glover at is about -175 to -180, and I'd have to see him at weigh ins first. At -275, I'd take Cummins or pass.

I wouldn't take Glover as a favourite, period. I'm saying that I'd probably throw some money on Cummins if Glover is anywhere over -275.

[CriticalHit]

I think Cummins is still a level below Bader and Davis in the LHW wrestling pecking order. Right now my gut has Glover winning by sub after a knockdown.

That's if Glover doesn't have another training camp in his garage like he did for Davis fight.

100% this.

I'd take Glover as a small fav. up to the number I stated

Cummins is ease to hit and has the worse chin. He's been TKO'd twice since coming to the UFC and Glover has huge power. If Glover is in shape, he should be able to keep the fight standing .
I just wouldn't want to lay big odds on Glover, but think he's the rightful favorite

For a Brazil free card it's shaping up reasonably well.

[SPX]

Yeah, for a Brazil card it's okay. All the international cards can be a bit tough to endure, though.

On the last Brazil card they hustled us by attaching Ronda Rousey and turning it into a PPV. Which . . . I actually paid for. Because of Ronda.
