Anyone really like Burkman Felder over 2.5 -160? I feel this goes to a decision most the time.
How many real American wrestlers has Caraway faced though. /QUOTE]
He outgrappled Bedford who was a D1 wrestler compared to Sterlings D3. That said, Sterling has adapted his wrestling to MMA better.

Felder will probably be looking to knock his head off the bat, so just depends if burkman can clinch, grind and force him against the cage to work his take downs here, I think he will have success here he has no choice either that or enjoy felders leg kicks and power punches so yeah like the overs here, any guy could get the nod if they do enough.
Would be tempted to hit a flyer on felder r3 ko but burkman decision line could be interesting during live betting also.
Putting down 1.5u on Caraway at +300. This line cant possible get better than that can it?
Also doing 1.5u on Masvidal +140. I dont see that one going higher either.
I really like what I heard from Masvidal a while ago on mmajunkie radio where he said how much he loves wrestling now and is working on it a lot. Wrestling is Larkins kryptonite in a way but the big question is obviously if Masvidal can implement his wrestling game.Yes they both could go higher.
Definitely against you on masvidal
Yeah I think this could be close. Very, very happy I got the o2.5 at -165, think its like -240 now. Masvidal +3.5 could be an intriguing lineI really like what I heard from Masvidal a while ago on mmajunkie radio where he said how much he loves wrestling now and is working on it a lot.

Larkin is gonna have the size advantage for sure and I can see why you wanna play Larkin if you think his TDD holds up since hes the better striker. Personally I think Masvidal is gonna give Larkin enough trouble standing to be able to be able to get the reactive TDs. Larkin has improved his footwork so he doesnt get stuck against the cage as much as before but the tendencies are still there so ill expect an intelligent fighter like Masvidal to get him in this spot several times kinda like he did vs Benson.
Also, even if this ends up on the feet for 15 i expect it to be close. Larkins lack of boxing makes him end up in close fights, many judges still under value leg kicks for example which Larkin focuses a lot on.
Sry for shitty writing. Hate typing on my phone.
Im sure he will but Felder hasn't knocked anyones head off in his UFC run bar a low percentage spinning back fist landing flush on Castillo. Burkman has been knocked out once and that was by a guy whos fought at LHW and dropped Tito. Really like the over here.
Congrats on that line, would have blasted -165.Yeah I think this could be close. Very, very happy I got the o2.5 at -165, think its like -240 now. Masvidal +3.5 could be an intriguing line
Agree 100%. I was on Burkman and scared shitless that he would get finished in the 3rd vs Noons.I would be scared shitless touching o2.5 for Felder fight at -165. Burkman seems on the steady decline, and he gassed BAD last fight against Noons who literally was throwing 3 punches a round.
Same here. And while I think the gassing could hypothetically improve with this being his 2nd weight cut to 155, maybe that had something to with it and he'll be more accustomed, I most certainly wouldn't bet on it at that price.Agree 100%. I was on Burkman and scared shitless that he would get finished in the 3rd vs Noons.
I would be on anyone decent to win in round 3 vs burkman after that last performance. Your call, I could def see the over hitting, just that price more than anything is what I don't likeBurkman cut 18 pounds in 24hrs im assuming he won't be so stupid again. I think you guys are overstating Felder's finishing ability.

Also should be noted Felder now trains here in NJ with Team Almeida who have Mark Henry as the striking coach. That dude is well known for making guys throw volume In sparring
Hi Rebel. Can I have your picks? Thank you.My fav play of the current odds so far. I'm heavy $250 on him at his opener of +185. I expect the lines to tighten up and then I'll maybe think of a pseudo hedge. I think his size and power will be the deciding factor in this fight. Barao may come in with a cardio and slight speed advantage but that's about it. I think the biggest worry will be the weight cut I'll watch out for that.
