Personally betting the fight to go to decision either way at +540 (and maybe a bit on the +975 Johns line too).
I understand the argument that Entwistle never sees round 2, but this is post-regional; seeing records loaded with finishes that lead into UFC records with decisions isn't abnormal. If we're just looking at things by the numbers, Johns is less of a finisher than any of the guys that have stopped Entwistle.
The results are part of it. HOW those results come is another. Entwistle literally tries to hold on to leglocks while guys are bashing his face in. That style means finishes, regardless of competition. Even if you just look at his 3 UFC fights and not all his others, his style is what it is. He's gone balls to the wall for the leglock, and either gets it or eats a whole bunch of clean shots and gets put away.
I'm not saying this bet CAN'T lose here. But let's not act like I paid -350 for it either. It was -150 when I bet it, and to me that line was just way off. The u1.5 is -185 now. Still too low imo, but getting closer to where I'd cap it anyway.
