    No props out for the fights.. ... Quick thoughts on the fights -

    - Melvin Guillard by KO seems like the smart play.. Maybe the under 1.5 at +110 seems like it could land if Melvin comes out swinging like he normally does... He will have a huge advantage standing.. However, if Melvin can't get the knock out early on and gasses out he could get taken down and lose by submission as Girtz is a ground guy first..

    - Thinking if Saad Awad can get out of the 1st round still conscious he'll probably win this fight..Patricky has a very suspect gas tank and fades quickly in fights. Saad Awad is legit and as the dog at +125 it's not a bad play....

    - Hood vs Butler, both guys look to finish and someone is going to sleep early in this fight.. Love the under at -180.. Either fighter can win by KO so it might be worth it to play the dog Lorenzo Hood at +200..

    Burns +400 vs Wren -600 - Combat Press boys nailed this one on the head... Odds are stiff on this fight but I like the favorite and the better ground guy in Wren... Not sure if I'm even gonna make a parlay play on it though..

    Copy and paste -

    HW: Josh Burns (8-8) vs. Justin Wren (10-2)

    Josh Burns has fought five times already for Bellator, but he has yet to see his hand raised. He has also yet to go past the second round inside the Bellator cage. For those keeping track, that means he has been finished by all five of his Bellator opponents. That includes Bobby Lashley, who handed Burns a second-round submission loss. Burns has displayed some decent striking in his tenure with the promotion, but he has really failed to get anything going against any of the heavyweights he has fought. He has faced pretty much the best heavyweights Bellator has had to offer, though.

    Justin Wren is going to have a strong disadvantage in this fight. Wren, who last fought in 2010, has to overcome five years of ring rust. He is only 28 years old, though, so it isn’t like he is on the back end of his career. Wren has some solid ground-and-pound and grappling skills.

    While Wren may not have the strength of Lashley, he should be able to get Burns to the ground. From there, it’s up to Wren whether he can open up Burns for a rear-naked choke or go for the kill via TKO.

    Undefeated Brett Primus at +105 has a very good chance at submission victory as well..

    That's all I got.. Going with all the other favorites...

    Yep Saad I hit too.

    Trying 2 more dogs for small in Hood and Primus as well.. Both have a solid chance to win in their fights as well.. Played them both evenly hoping one hits at worst..

    I have it.

    Melvin Guillard > Brandon Girtz
    Patricky Freire > Saad Awad
    Justin Wren > Josh Burns
    Raphael Butler > Lorenzo Hood

    Most of Lorenzo Hood's wins are against 0-6 competition. His record looks artificially stuffed.

    Justin Wren hasn't fought in 5 years. His record says he lost to Jon Madsen, but a lot of people thought he won that fight and was robbed by judges. He's done well in all his fights, even the ones he's "lost". He seems to have a better team and gym than his opponent, fought higher level competition, and has a decent youth advantage.

    Freire's fought higher level competition than Awad and afaik is a better fighter.

    Melvin got to hand pick his 1st opponent in Bellator and asked for Girtz. If Melvin loses this fight, damn. I don't think that's going to happen.

    ^^^ Goings with all the favs I see Sanity Check.. That does usually work out in these smaller events..

    I couldn't pull the trigger on the Justen Wren fight at those odds even in a parlay.. Will be sitting out that one.. Justin Wren probably wins though...

    Best value on the Melvin fight IMO is this prop..

    3009 Guillard wins inside distance -185

    Justin Wren is all over the main stream news..

    I guess he went to the Congo after having a calling to help some village people.. Cool stuff actually... Seems like a really good guy..

    Still won't bet on him.. He seems too nice now and has been out of the MMA sport for a long while now.. May fade him actually at those odds if I bet this fight after all....

    Just saw him on the ABC news... His story went viral...

    Lorenzo Hood blew out his knee, yesterday.

    He's not fighting tonight.

    Wren was set to compete in NCAA division 1 wrestling and there was talk of him being in the olympics.

    Let's see what he's got.

    Wren had to earn that win and his wrestling never was a factor. It went the distance with both standing the entire time.. Go figure..

    all good though. Guillard gonna win for me

    judges got it right smh. the money was on awad that's the ONLY reason this decision was unanimous. this was a split fight if i've ever seen it. i had chump change on awad but he got robbed. unanimous? fuk outta here

    im not saying he clearly won or anything but 30-27 from all judges?? thats a fukking joke and you know it

    Yeah, Justin Wren never used his wrestling much in fights. He used it defensively like Chuck Liddell and pretty much never gets taken down.

    Almost everything Awad threw in the 1st, missed. I thought Freire might've taken the 1st. The only thing Awad had in the 2nd was that uppercut. In the slow motion you can see the uppercut and follow up shot missed. I can see 30-27 Freire.

    On the flip side, one sherdog live judge scored it for Awad the other two thought it was a draw.

    http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Bel...atricky-freire

    If they scored it 29-28 for Awad that might've been a fair call, but I thought Freire won the fight.

    Tito didn't look too bad when he fought Stephan Bonnar. I think McGeary wins but won't be surprised if its more competitive than people are expecting.

    I think Girtz is slowing down.

    Maybe he'll be tired in the 2nd and Melvin can come back.

    edit - I didn't realize Guillard deteriorated that much.

    gg looks like Girtz was the call.

    Yes, you're whining like the little bitch that you are. Missing everything and getting countered all day now constitutes winning a round? "Bullshit takedown."
