What the heck are people talking about calling mcgeary and Vassell scrubs? Both guys bring a lot to the table.

I'm prolly gonna bet Vassell at some point. His standup is bad but he's got some good takedowns and mcgeary definitely can be put on his back...

I was being facetious but I probably didn't communicate it clear enough.

I think both fighters have serious holes but I'm leaning Linton, especially at the price. McGeary showed no heart in his last fight.

What kind of pro who fought twice for the ufc title is going to come in to "make a statement" and finish the fight. Its like cmon guys, that doesnt mean a goddamn thing. Every fighter wants to get a ko inside the opening round and go home having taken no damage.

Dont get me wrong i thnk roryhas a great chance of winning. But you really think a technical fighter like rory is going to return from a long layoff, multiple nose destructions, and walk in there and "merk" a great striker in paul daley? Lol smh.

Rory UD here

Daley is going to try to make this a brawl. Will he be successful? I don't know but he certainly not going to let Rory dance. I think there is a legitimate shot this things ends early.
 
Have any props been released for Rory vs Daley on UK bookies? Gotta stab Daley by 1st round UP in the very unlikely case it happens there should be decent odds
 
0.3 units Rory @ -250 (had Taisumov in a double)

0.3 units Rory + Kongo @ +100

He won by TKO.
When did he show no heart in that fight?
 
I really like Rory here but -300's a bit steep. Need something to parlay it with. Is Kongo a safe play? Don't know much about his opponent.

Its bellator so rationale goes out the window but after watching tape im confident in kongo.

just pass on it imo. i favor rory, too, but i'd rather bet daley at a big # than lay the juice on rory.. putting him into a parlay doesn't change the fact (if)that he's overpriced
 
I think Rory -300 is actually pretty spot on and very fair. He should have a very easy time w Daley

Elite statement!
Rory could be the no.1 guy in the world at his best. Daley is top 15 at best.
I am more than okay with the -250 I took.

Unlike others, I like Rorys price here at -310. He has been in this price range (-275 to -400) against BJ Penn, Saffedeine, Ellenburger, Pyle, Maia and Lawler in their first fight. Daley fits in this list, and if anything he may be the on the weaker end. The most recent of these opp. (Saffeidine) actually closed at nearly -500 in some places. Different styles, but I assume a Daley / Saff fight would be priced pretty evenly or it would favor Saff.

Obligatory 'anything can happen at HW' but Sakai is hugely overmatched here, whether or not Kongo chooses to strike or wrestle.
