Bellator 159 - Caldwell vs Taimanglo - Kansas

[Dusty Trunks]

Will be on Rickels. Melvin beyond fade material at this point in addition to missing weight. Yikes.

 

[Dusty Trunks]

Only 1 play tonight to wet the appetite for tomorrow.


Bellator 159

David Rickels -165 8.25u to win 5u


GL guys

I played Rickels -165.

Melvin may well be done. The power is still there I'm sure, but his chin may be shot and he may not care much anymore. Missing weight is a red flag (though he's always been a giant LW). Grappling edge to Rickels too.

Weichel should win easy, most likely by dec. but still deciding how much on ML and how much on dec prop.

Women's fight no lean, don't know enough about either. Someone convince me of a small play so I have action LOL.

Taimanglo +1000 is just silly. Yeah he probably gets steamrolled but in MMA too many weird things happen. Caldwell is a juggernaut and I'm sold so maybe I'll play his itd line at -190 too? Maybe my math is wrong but playing Caldwell itd at -190 and Joe +1000 makes more sense than not Caldwell by dec at -269 right?

 

[piglord]

on weichel, guillard and caldwell.

 

[Joseph Budden]

Caldwell itd, Guillard and Weichel for me tonight. Weichel being most important.

 

[piglord]

what time does the main card start?

55 minutes

 

[PuertoRican]

Darn. Bruna Ellen lost via decision. I assume her being undersized had something to do with it.

Hopefully Bruna Vargas wins.

 

[EzFlyer]

Wth. It seems like we're either on

Guillard+weichel+Caldwell

Or

Rickels+Sanchez+taimanglo

So weird

There's some decent action going on in these GLORY 32 fights, live on Fight Pass.

No elite fighters thus far, but decent action between similarly skilled fighters.

If I'm reading the schedule correctly, there's 2 more fights left:

Chi Lewis-Parry vs. Maurice Greene
Anderson Silva vs. Gordon Haupt

maybe i get burned yet again for betting on guillard but rickels is just not a high level fighter imo. happy to hit guillard at + odds.

 

[piglord]

stream anyone?

 

[Joseph Budden]

Let's go Weichel

 

[Joseph Budden]

Bubba Jenkins gonna avenge his loss to Georgi next month in that fight

 

[Joseph Budden]

Oh God. Weichel looking a bit stiff and slow. 1-0 Sanchez via volume even if a lot didn't land

 

[mkess101]

Weichel rd 1

Nah Weichel landed as much even if he threw less plus controlled the (limited) grappling exchanges.

Close rd though.

Hope judges see it like you did. Fucking classic Emannuel Sanchez split is coming for the 100th time in a row
