Bellator 149 - shamrock vs gracie... again...

All of this analysis for the senior citizen fight lol three word analysis from me: dog or pass

Favor Ken only cause we're likely to see 15 min of him in Royces guard
 
So I was thinking with how shot Kimbo's knees looked vs Ken and with how awful he looked leading up to that fight (he looked like an old man walking to the scale at the weigh in) that I might fade him here if there were good odds on this Dada guy.

And then I watched tape of Dada's 2 pro fights. Time I will never get back.

First, let's start with the fact Dada's two opponents are a combined 1-16 and the lone win was because of a DQ for the other guy throwing knees to the head of a downed opponent. Dada has pretty much no skills. He stands and wings punches in the pocket and hopes to land before the other guys does. He was taken down and mounted by the 0-6 Cedric whatever guy and then the ref inexplicably stood them up (I watched with sound off). The guy is...not good. I'm now of the mindset that even a completely shot Kimbo (who never had much of an overall skillset anyway) should whip this guy. Kimbo has at least trained and been in the cage with real fighters. I won't lay heavy juice on him or anything (because, well, it's Kimbo Slice LOL and a shot version of him) but barring some insane odds no way am I even considering playing Dada.
 
I wonder what the unders are for that fight lol
 
that kimbo vs ken fight was as shady as anything i have seen in mma.. i see this fight as pro wrestling :) if i am going to bet i will be on the dog for sure whoever it is
 
Hit Vassell +185. Wasn't he winning the Newton fight last time before losing in the 5th?
 
Lines out??? Nice. Have 10 mins left of work, hope that Vassell line doesn't drop
 
I first saw Shamrock and Royce fight around 94-95. I was a freshman in highschool when some friends and I started renting the UFC tapes. Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie were the first House hold mma (nhb) names. I'm really looking forward to this card if only for nostalgia purposes.

Man i wanna do o1.5 Campos near evens but he has been getting starched out of nowhere lately
 
Can't believe i'm gonna say this....

Kimbo Slice has value at -270. Expected -500. Not a bad line for parlays, hes not gonna lose to this bum Dada.

Also LOVE the over for the main event. Old guys or not its hard to see a finish.
 
Forget who said it, but this could be lots of shamrock sitting in Gracie's guard.. O1.5 prolly does hit, huh..

Man I don't wanna bet it, tho!

That would be me. And thats exactly what I expect out of this fight. Pretty happy over 1.5 rounds is at + odds.
