Bellator 96

**mirinquads** · 06-16-13, 08:31 AM

Might fade Sobral, dude hasn't gotten the memo that his chin is shot like a ************ and that he should be wrestling not striking with people. Especially against aggressive strikers with power. King mo SHOULD win, but if he's like an enormous favorite, might take a stab at the Peth. Kimbo Killer 2.0 up in this bitch!!

Sparks hasn't fought in like 1,5 years and Minakov seems to be quite good, gotta watch some tape though. Hate betting Bellator heavyweights though, so unpredictable.

**goodfellas433** · 06-16-13, 08:43 AM

I really wanted to fade war machine here, but so far I don't like what I'm reading on Avena....have to factor in the long layoff too though.

**Vaughany** · 06-16-13, 09:02 AM

No way I can play War Machine after he said he's dealing with a torn ACL and hernia, that's for sure!

**goodfellas433** · 06-16-13, 09:31 AM

Probably a no play all around. I just get the feeling they want him to win, just as a niche fighter....not sure why I feel that way but I have since they signed him on

Played Noe, no regrets. He's bad, but as bad as Sobral? I don't think so.

**JustinOpinion** · 06-17-13, 08:17 PM

**Dwil125** · 06-17-13, 08:21 PM

under 1.5 sparks/minakov

**Sacrelicious** · 06-17-13, 08:26 PM

Noe is worth a solid play, beyond that, call me nuts, but am I the only one here that sees value on literally every dog on this card?

**Dwil125** · 06-17-13, 08:30 PM

Not sparks haha

**Dwil125** · 06-17-13, 08:31 PM

wouldn't play the main event either unless your playing the o/u

At +425????? I will take a shot at that.

These lines are ridiculously long.

**Beelzebubzy** · 06-17-13, 08:33 PM

Played noe because babalu has no chin and avena cause war machine is injured

**Sacrelicious** · 06-17-13, 08:34 PM

I have a small play on seth +725. I do not favor any of these dogs to win but the lines seem really nutty to me.

**Dwil125** · 06-17-13, 08:42 PM

play the under if you want to play sparks, the only way he's going to win is if he gets a lucky ko with Minakov rushing in. I wouldn't play him at +462 where he's at now.. besides the gap in their skill sets he's nearly 39 years old hasn't fought in a over a year and a half, and he will probably have to cut weight to make the 266 pound limit due to his layoff.

**Fragoel2** · 06-18-13, 01:59 AM

Flier on Petruzelli, might put a flier on Avena too.

Can't see why you guys like Noe, he's truly terrible, Babalu has much better skills and was winning his last match up until that lucky punch.

**Vaughany** · 06-18-13, 03:15 AM

Is this a Gaberz flier though?

**Fragoel2** · 06-18-13, 03:38 AM

Of course

I really disagree that he was winning, he was clearly the worse man in that cage. Noe is bad, but he has power, something that Babalu cannot stand at the moment.

**ArchieUD** · 06-18-13, 10:49 AM

Yeah, I agree. Babalu should realize he should get this to the ground instead of fooling around on the feet. Played u1.5 rounds at -185 as there is good possibility this fight is getting finished no matter if it goes to the ground or stays on the feet.

**Dwil125** · 06-18-13, 02:17 PM

Spartan is off the card, hale just got a new opponent

**PunisherIND** · 06-18-13, 03:02 PM

**Vaughany** · 06-18-13, 03:09 PM

decent replacement on short notice

**Dwil125** · 06-18-13, 08:29 PM

parlaying minakov again at -465 played the under at -215

**Beelzebubzy** · 06-19-13, 08:14 AM

at what point does Mo have value.

Cant think he is this cocky to strike again. His MMA future relies on him winning in B league Bellator. So I think he LNPs here like his life depends on it and Petruzzeli has gassed in the past, plus his Ice cream bizz is on fire.

Plus another loss for Mo and it ruins his chance of being a TNA World Champion. Sac will give you those details. MD will give you the MMA detail.

**PunisherIND** · 06-19-13, 08:37 AM

king slo mo. i'd need at least -500...

...unless you're throwing it in a parlay. in which case i'd play it at current prices.

edit: doesn't it look like he's doing the koko b. ware dance?

Does dimes do bellator props? Its the only way I can play noe/sobral I think...

I don't think Mo got KO'd because he's cocky, I think he got KO'd because there are deficiencies in his striking and he simply got caught. He's actually looked worse on the feet since the Gracie fight. What percentage of the time does a guy like Seth Petruzelli catch Mo? 5%? 10%? 15%? I'm inclined to think Mo should be around -950. If I knew for a fact that all he wants to do is wrestle and not get KO'd, probably closer to -2500, but you can never know that for sure.

**brooks85** · 06-19-13, 09:29 AM

only thing sweeter was watching thiago return the favor to cavalcante. Reality is this fight hyped up cavalcante's line but if you watch it, can clearly see it's just a lucky ko. No different than silva's front kick to vitor. Both strikes would not land again in rematches, just like vitor wouldn't land a wheel kick on rockhold again in a rematch.

**Beelzebubzy** · 06-19-13, 09:29 AM

Dude I'm in parlay heaven
i have Franke at -194

**Beelzebubzy** · 06-19-13, 09:30 AM

I don't tthis any Anderson ko is lucky except Chael 2
