A few reasons I like Varner (there will be some MMAth here):
1. He was actually winning against Bendo before getting caught in the guillotine . . . and Bendo smoked Roller.
2. I don't hold his loss to Cerrone against him. Cerrone looked like a beast that night.
3. He also clearly beat Kamal even WITHOUT Kamal's point deduction. Terrible judging in that fight.
4. Roller's biggest win is probably Anthony Njokuani, a fighter who is known for having big problems on the ground. Anytime Roller's fought anyone who was close to title contention he lost--Pettis and Henderson. Varner is a former champion who has superior boxing and, I think, good enough wrestling to keep it on the feet.
I don't like the line, but I think it's a bad fight for Roller.
