Re: Bellator 28

Matt seems like a good dog bet. .5u on Matt Horwich

Re: Bellator 28

Yeah Horwich is live.

I am thinking about Clementi too... if he comes in shape, he shouldn't have any trouble with Vanier.

Re: Bellator 28

2u on Clementi @ -205

gonna pass on Horwich, for some reason I thought he was +225. Still Horwich by triangle.

I don't know anything about Vanier, so why don't you break this one down for us?

Re: Bellator 28

Vanier is a basically a wrestler. He has some very middling standup, but no power. I bet him as a dog to Imada, because I thought he could sprawl and brawl Imada. he was slightly "winning" the standup with Imada before he willingly went to the ground with a takedown and got subbed promptly.

I see Clementi as an underrated fighter. When he shows up, he is pretty good. I think he has a small striking edge, due to his versatility and experience. And he has the ability to take down wrestlers (see Anthony Johnson). He also has a an underrated guard game IMO. Anywhere the fight goes, Vanier is going to struggle. Rich could beat him striking, put him on his back, or sweep or sub him from guard. Bonus is that Vanier is tiny and Rich is huge @ 155.

Vanier was a Juco AA in wrestling @ 149. So his only plausible out is to win a top control decision... but Clementi was moving Maynard around in half guard, and I just don't think Vanier is going to be able to control him.

The guys Vanier has beat carry a combined record of 37-49 (with the best record being Duarte @ 5-2). He has only beaten 3 guys with wining records (and even then, not good guys). He is 3-3 against .500 competition.

Rich by RNC Rd 2.

Re: Bellator 28

Okay, thanks.

It's been a long time since I even heard about Clementi fighting. I honestly didn't even know that he had stayed active since he got cut from the UFC, but according to Wiki he's had 8 fights.

Re: Bellator 28

It was just last year he was in the UFC.

Well a year and a half when you look at the actual date of his last fight. That's a long time to be away.

Re: Bellator 28

Who's gonna be around to watch this tonight?

Re: Bellator 28

I'm gonna be watching the Auburn game and the Saints game, and FSN isn't even showing Bellator. I may pop it on the laptop.

BTW, scheduling Bellator in New Orleans on the same night as the home opener for the Saints is probably one of the worst marketing decisions of all time. Expect a ghost town.
