this is honestly a pretty sweet card. tons of good names. (wish they were fighting eachother, tho, lol)

 

[Joseph Budden]

Forgot this was so soon, but that's probably cause they're going PRIDE style and announced the fights only a week ago. Wonder which fights we'll get lines for

yea.. the name-fighters (and there are a LOT of names listed above) are mostly fighting unknowns, sadly

wow I was going to come in here and shit all over this card but I'm actually looking forward to a few of these fights, crazy horse, souwer, cro cop, and kron's, if it is only coz of the entertainment factor. lord knows what the lines will be, wish there would be an over/under on finishes though.

usada who??

 

[LEMONZEST]

I am pumped to see CroCop, Kron, and Souwer fight. This will be a fun card and I am glad Bellator and Rizin exist! These guys make some good fights that UFC wouldn't be willing to put on.

no idea who these three are:

hyun man myung
mark tanios
valetin moldavsky

---

weird seeing CC -705 vs anyone these days, though... and prochazka and albrektsson are legit.. gotta look into their opponents, i guess

i hoped for much cheaper on cruickshank.

playing tokoro. idk how the line will move. and kron is prolly a little bigger, but tokoro SO MUCH more experienced in MMA.. he looked pretty awesome against LC davis not that long ago.

 

[Joseph Budden]

Playing Tokoro, Albrektsson, and Jiri/Crocop/Cruick parlay

 

[EzFlyer]

tried to max tokoro +180, it limited me to 1u, boooo

i also took 1.35u albrektsson -135

moldavsky actually fought at rizin. he's a strong wrestler, strong top game, completely inexperienced in mma, moreso than albrektsson. i think he trains with fedor or something. (mold) -- as did nemkov, whom albrekt just beat (and nemkov is awesome, also trained with fedor) -- i think albrekt is gonna have a big standup edge and he's the bigger dude.

even more of a size edge than i thought for albrekt.. plus he's a lot taller if i'm not mistaken. i think he works moldavsky over after he gasses. i'm not going on much here, but that's how i feel.. thinking of adding some at -170

wish UK had these lines
