And if the Diaz/Miller fight ends up looking similar to the Kim fight, that would be fine by me since I thought Diaz won.
Straight bets on Vagner Rocha (+175), Dave Herman (Even), Ellenberger (-265), Tim Means (Even), Loeffler vs Roberts completes 1 full round (+130).
Ellenberger/Herman parlay, Ellenberger/Miocic parlay.
Thanks. Do you know how much notice Rocha is working with in this fight? I guess he is in good shape from the canceled Brown FX fight. I think he is a live dog mainly because Brookins is marked up from his exposure on TUF.
Brookins was soo outclassed by Koch it was almost laughable. I know I am bias to the fighters I bet on in a match, but he had no chance whatsoever in that fight and was inferior by such a large margin on soo many levels. I know the kid has alot of heart as, but damn, he was outclassed.
Seems almost as good as a 50/50 for Rocha with nice odds. But it also seems like UFC likes to set up fighters and get matches they prefer to promote. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but kind of think they would prefer Brookins wins this and they were throwing Rocha in against Brown to get Brown back on track.
Hard to say, I don't think it isn't rigged, but it is business and their are preferred fighters and outcomes. When they prefer specific outcomes, it is almost a given when the fight is close who wins the decision, the preferred fighter. Brookins definitely has a bigger fan base and appeal factor, although soo horrendous against Koch. Think Brookins would prefer to keep this fight stand up, but might not be able too and Rocha's bbj and submissions seem just as solid as Brookins. I am still contemplating a bet on Rocha as a value dog????
Think I am sticking with Ellenberger at the earlier odds I got. Was contemplating a hedge bet on Sanchez, but Ellenberger is a well rounded beast with hard hands. One of the few fighters Condit couldnt take out with a stoppage. Despite Sanchez's excellent conditioning, he would have to have such a huge and clear edge to win this in Ellenbergers back yard by decision. Definitely seems like it could be tightly contested, but gonna stick with Ellenberger and regret I didn't put more on him before the odds increased.
