    bj, looking forward to your picks my man. so what are you seeing in rogers? quite frankly i dont see him offering much besides the chance of a 1 punch ko. i think more likely he gets taken down and quickly submitted. he has also shown to gas pretty quickly.

    He is quick, strong and athletic and tuf. The negatives are that he may gas and get taken down and submitted as you said. But Vianna in my opinion isnt the guy to take him down. I think Vianna is overrated. He won against sam in a very controversial split decision in a fight i scored to Alvey, which isnt a world beater. He didnt impress me at all against schlemenko either, but he Koed Bryan Baker. Would he win against Baker if the fight went the distance? Probably not. So why is he even the fav against Rogers, in my opinion, mostly because of the KO fluke against Baker. That being said this is bellator, and any thing can happen. Betting on bellator fights imo should be done with caution as we dont have a lot of material to make accurate assumptions and predictions compared to the ufc. On the flip side, there are many mismatches in bellator that seems less frequent in the ufc now a days . Usually, i dont even consider large wagers in bellator, especially not when the fighter i go against have the ground advantage. But this fight smells upset alert long way. The brutal KO power of Rogers, the quickness and the ability to capitalize when the opponent is hurt really impresses me. The fight agains schlemenko was quite even as i see it until a beautiful timed knee or a kick, i cant really remember, that changed the whole fight early in round 2. schlemnko vs rogers was a war, while shlemenko seemed to focus on winning and just crusing into victory against vianna in the final. The fact that schlemenko finished rogers may reflect the odds in favor of vianna, but in reality it shouldnt. Comparing both fighters performance against schlemenko i favor rogers even though he lost by tko. Rogers at least showed ability to win, while vianna as far as i remember didnt, at all.

    If this fight stays standing, i think it will be over within the first round. I still consider this as a kind of a risky bet, so there is a chance i buy back if i get a bad feeling.

    With you on Rogers for a small play here. How big of a bet is 2 units for you? Like is it a small play?

    Prior i used big Vs unit (10 pound a unit). Lately my bankroll have improved a bit so i have adjusted it.

    100 dollars is now 1 unit, so my bet equals approx 2% of my bankroll.

    Tailing on Rogers. I like his chances in this one and figured Vianna would only be a slight fav.

    Same.

    Pretty much what i figured, Vianna's clinch attempts against Alexander were weak.

    Tailed for some action and because I love you
    But I'm not sure if tirloni can win...he will be on his back a lot and you can't count on high level bjj to neutralize high level judo

    I agree. I have now pussied out of the bet. I think it might be a bit to early for him. I would like to see him win at least one fight in the big leagues. Michel might have an easier path to win.

    Haha . If michel can stand upright, this fight should be his. . Still a better bet than tirloni i think. Hawn is such a beast and a fast learner.

    Yeah maxed the Cerrone distance as well. Dont see either getting TKO'd, only chance is Cerrone being smart and going for the sub like he did against Paul Kelly. Stephens will probably bait him in to a stand-up war tho, a Carlos Condit "dog fight"!

    fair enough.. tirloni was winning before that punch
    handled the clinch pretty well and controlled the stand up
    its lovely to see someone work the thai collar so effectively...the elbows created enough distance so hawn couldnt wrap his arms all the way around

    1.65 unit +. I havent seen this fight yet, but i read that bloodyelbow.com scored the fight to nazare. Nothing makes me happier than an unwarranted win. I also had bets on prindle, woodard and hawn, but these will of course not be included as i didnt post them in time.

    Total : 4.55 U +

    Lots of other places scored it Michel. It was a very close fight. Nothing would've surprised me when they read the cards.

    I thought Michel won, but thought it was more likely than Nazare would get the nod. But, I had money on Michel so that could be a factor.
