Bellator 48 (August 20, 2011)
MAIN CARD
- Pat Curran vs. Marlon Sandro (featherweight-tourney finale)
- Champ Cole Konrad vs. Paul Buentello (heavyweight non-title fight)
- Seth Petruzelli vs. Ricco Rodriguez
- Juan Barrante vs. Rene Nazare
PRELIMINARY CARD
- John Clarke vs. Dan Cramer
- Andrew Calandrelli vs. Matt Nice
- Brett Oteri vs. Ryan Quinn
- Nik Fekete vs. Mark Griffin
- Saul Almeida vs. Tateki Matsuda
Thinkin Seth might be able to pull off the upset against Ricco. Ricco looked average when I watched him decision McSweeney a few months ago.
I'm playing Petruzelli and Sandro.
main event is a tough one to call..Leaning Curran but have not made up mind yet...i wonder if 5dimes will have props for this card..Have they had props for bellator in the past??
im taking the juice on Konrad. Buentellos weakness is takedown defense and no Bellator Champ has lost in a non title 'super' match
The Polar Bear returns!!! -540 isn't really worth it though.
technically correct, but anyone who watched joe warren vs marcos galvao knows that galvao won that fight (except the judges).Originally Posted by Beelzebubzy

that said, i agree with you. the michelin man wins this fight by 15 minutes of blubbering top control.
Love Konrad but my god his line is always too inflated. Maybe parlay material. I do see him winning this with his heavy top control though and wouldn't be surprised if he sinks in a choke.

to the best of my memory, i have never seen props for bellator events on 5dimes.

bodog just released lines for this event. i played 2 units on curran at +135. i think he grinds out the decision.
I'm 50/50 on the Curran/Sandro fight so I'm rolling with Pat at +135 also. He's a huge FW and his striking has looked very good lately. The only thing I'm worried about is that he patiently picks his shots and sometimes that doesn't look like he's active to the judges. But he does pack some power and can take it to the ground if he wants. If this fight stays on the feet, then Sandro could surely walk away with it on points. But hell, I've been rolling w/ Curran as a dog in most of his fights and he's done me well... so 2u on Pat.

Bodog has a few props up now. Curran by decision is +160.bodog just released lines for this event. i played 2 units on curran at +135. i think he grinds out the decision.
Konrad by DEC I like at -130. I know there is a chance that he finished Buentello on the ground... but Paul is pretty tough and I can see this most likely going the distance. Considering Cole is -650 straight up, this bet makes me happy.
