Im liking tito as the dog here,

current prices:

Tito: 2.3-2.35 (+130-+135)
Chael: 1.65 ish (-153.85)
 
Quite like the over 2.5 rounds for Tito/Chael at around -200.
 
tito's 2.5 (+150)at matchbook

is this a 3 rounder?
 
Do Bellator test or is Sonnen gonna come in juiced off his tits?

surely both tito and chael will juice to the max.. both fighters will retire anyway after this fight
 
wow potentially we could see 3 of the biggest names in the sports history retire within a couple weeks of each other. not many of the old guard left now at all.
 
I have a hard time seeing Tito win rounds vs. Chael. Tito gasses out and Chael pushes a hard pace.
 
I follow Chaels podcast and he seems to be training very hard for this for whatever thats worth.
 
maybe im putting to much stock in tito's size advantage but i think that could be a big factor.
chael could well tire quick also, he's the one with the ring rust, tito fought mcgreary a little over a year ago, and put up a valiant effort before the sub. but chael hasn't fought in over 3 years since getting completely owned by rashad. Also there's only a 2 year age difference between both guys.

That fight was a while ago but when I watched it I thought it was clear that Tito quit.
 
Not even going to try to rationalize much of anything on this one. Who tf knows how Chael is going to look. Hell, who tf knows how Tito is going to look. Scoring a td and than getting subbed by McGeary doesn't say too much. I could see this being a Tito vs Bonnar-esque old guy super sloppy striking match if neither guy can't get tds which seems possible.
 
^ that's how i see it. sloppy 15 minute fight. wish O2.5 wasn't -175.
 
Gracie/Kato - Does anyone have info on if Kato knows what BJJ is?

Ralek is a pure BJJ guy so his game plan is no secret. If Kato doesn't see this coming it could be an easy fight for Ralek if he can get the TD.

Kato seems to have only 1 gameplan which is swing for the fences.

kato took down schilling in rd 1 of their first fight if i'm not mistaken, but yea, against gracie, make no mistake: he is going to swing for the fences from bell to bell (or until he ko's him or gets tapped)
