Bellator 82

I haven't looked at any fights in detail yet. But Good at + money isn't going to last.

**PunisherIND** · 11-28-12, 02:54 PM

too slow

agree with you on good. surprised the fock out of me that he opened at + odds. no way this holds until 5D opens.

**NunyaBidness** · 11-28-12, 02:56 PM

Weird. How did my "new post" show up as a reply to your post?

lol

**Vaughany** · 11-28-12, 03:02 PM

yeah maxed Good at +120

MD · 11-28-12, 03:03 PM

Kalikas has said previously that Koreshkov would open as the slight favourite.

You guys really think Koreshkov will move to a dog? I was going to bet Koreshkov early before everyone else pounded him, as I assumed they would.

**Vaughany** · 11-28-12, 03:10 PM

Koreshkov has showed that he is still a bit raw against Jordan Smith, Good might be able to use his size to control the fight. Im just thinkin the line is going to go up and down from one being slight favourite to the other with the late money probably coming back in on Koreshkov. I do think he'll get to +105 or +110 at some point tho on sportbet or pinnacle

**Vaughany** · 11-28-12, 03:12 PM

Tried to max Good again forgetting u can only max once on Bookmaker...keep thinkin it's like sportbet and can re-bet when line changes

**Mercersux** · 11-28-12, 03:27 PM

Good is the play @ those prices for sure. Not sold on Koreshkov.

**PunisherIND** · 11-28-12, 03:41 PM

holy shit, sarnavsky just went from -525 to -115 at bookmaker. im assuming this is a mistake on BFO, but you guys with BM accounts should check it out and report back.

**Vaughany** · 11-28-12, 04:02 PM

Think it was a bestfightodds mistake

**BIGDAY** · 11-28-12, 04:08 PM

Take Good.

He should be slightly fav here.

Saranavskiy-Rickels parlay,

**Fragoel2** · 11-28-12, 04:59 PM

I think Good will probably use the same strategy that he used against the other russian in the semis: wrestle the penetrate out of him. How good is Koreshekov take down defence?

Hard to tell, he's not really faced anybody with particularly good wrestling or grappling in general...Zaromskis doesnt offer a takedown threat, Jordan Smith is just average everywhere, and I believe he took Koreshkov down at least once and took his back at some point (I think most gave Smith round 2 in that fight). And Derrick Krantz also managed to get him down at one point and briefly had Koreshkov's back but got reversed and Koreshkov ended up on top (think tht was in Rnd 2 as well).

**omalley21** · 11-28-12, 11:22 PM

Koreshkov has a very suspect ground game. 5d just jumped to good -170..

**Brian891** · 11-29-12, 02:02 AM

Is sarnavskiy worth the juice?

But Koreshkov gassed from just that IIRC.

**Fragoel2** · 11-29-12, 04:06 AM

Have to give the edge to Good then.

**gabe** · 11-29-12, 04:26 AM

I'm on Andre "The Hitchhiker Starring Rutger Hauer" Koreshkov

Think it is... Bellator put up another "Star vs Trashcan" fight. Way too many of those in this season. Hopefully they're just saving the good fights for the debut on Spike Tv.

**NunyaBidness** · 11-29-12, 04:37 PM

Ok Shawn Bunch, you're probably the next coming of Ben Askren, Chad Mendes, and Dan Henderson all rolled into one. But at +1500, I think we'll take a shot that you cry when you get punched in the face or something.

**Vaughany** · 11-29-12, 04:40 PM

Chad "COON"!

Sorry, had to laugh

**MMAbetMASTA** · 11-29-12, 09:56 PM

liking Good, hope he gets up on my book soon!!

Also think fishcer is worth a tiny value sprinkle if he gets to around +285ish, seems like a well rounded dude and legit grappler, but prob much smaller than rickels at 155...

Might as well just send that money to my paypal.

I'd be a little nervous with Rickels at that price. I realize Fischer hasn't had as solid of competition, but he hasn't shown any deficiency in his game. He's shown good fight IQ, a controlling style, great cardio, and the ability to wear on opponents. There isn't a part of Rickels game that really jumps out at me as being that much better than Fischer. Rickels also doesn't mind being on bottom which may be a bad idea here. I see the justification for Rickels being a favorite simply off better competition and looking like a promising fighter, but I think he's way overpriced here.

I'm at the opposite, Fischer is just a worse Rickels. Rickels is larger, more experienced, and has displayed better fights against better competition. Granted, he just suffered his first loss but a lot of people thought he beat Amoussou. I see Rickels being better than Fischer at basically everything, power, wrestling, cardio, everything. Rickels at up to -350 works well for me.

Rickels should probably be fighting Ben askren. That fight was really close. I cant find any tape on fischer.

I was kinda worried about the Rickels play, but I'm banking on that this fight being at a catchweight of 160 and Rickels size advantage will be good enough for the W.
