On the feet, DJ can more than hang with Riddle, if not beat him outright. While it's true that DJ's takedown defense isn't that great, and Riddle could win a decision via pure control, it's also true that Riddle gassed the fuck out in his last fight while DJ has proven that he can go three rounds and be fine cardio wise. DJ also has great defensive BJJ and is crafty on the ground, as evidenced by the way he slapped that triangle on Edgar Garcia out of nowhere.
.5u on DJ at +190. Riddle may control his way to a win, but I think this is a more even fight than DJ's getting credit for.
Ok I am assuming this is because his wrestling( Yushin is known as a wrestler but I doubt he is better than a NCAA D1 champ) and munoz seems to have pretty decent standup. Is Yushin a real hard hitter or more technical?

Yeah, I just think there is a good chance Munoz can put Okami on his back. Okami has better standup IMO, but Munoz has more power. Okami has never knocked anyone out that I can recall. Okami has lost to 3 wrestlers already, Shields, Suluev, and Sonnen. I think the fight is close standing, but I would give the edge to Okami. I think Munoz can out wrestle him though, and I doubt either will submit the other.

I agree.
Started to look at this fight.
Riddle has not done a thing. He lost to Osipzac, who Demarques defeated on TUF. What surprises me is how often he got swept by Osipzac. Demarquez does not work the sweeps so much as teh submission, but he has a similar frame as Nick, so I could see a sweep.. Riddle also got armbarred by Creduer on TUF. He did get a quality win over Soto in his last fight. He has no finishing ability. All of his wins are by decision (except the DQ) but he was in the 3rd about to win another decision.
Demarques does not have the upside that Riddle has but at this point, he has more tools. His game off his back is pretty good and his striking is decent. Riddle is a legit purple belt in bjj, he should be able to avoid the triangle, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it.
I think Riddle by decision prop or Demarques to win. If Riddle by decision is +150, I will probably bet that.

I got Okami at -140 (I think) and I'm considering arbing out of this one. I continue to underestimate Munoz and got burned on the Grove fight. Will it happen again here? I don't know, but I might take my couple of dollars of profit and move on.
ALL of my money is tied up on big plays with Couture (10u), Marquardt 4.5u, Dos Santos (5.5u), and others. I would put .5u to 1u on Johnson. I think this fight is toss up.
Final plays
Jones 22.1u to win 4u
Okami 2u to win 1u
Ellenberger 1.5u to win 1u
Gomi .5u to win 1.1u
Volkmann 1u to win 1.3u
