    No, absolutely not. But Prangley still isn't in play range either IMO. 3 rounder is on Prangley's side.

    Yep, sometimes the best play is to not play at all

    Amen. It's like surfing -- the waves you don't chase are just as important as the ones you go after. Lots of wasted energy (and in our case money) chasing "bad waves".

    Lombard v. Prangley could very well be the next GSP v. Serra (in terms of a huge upset brewing).
    Yes Hector is a badass and should run through him... but he should not be anything over -600 here.
    Prangley does have a little something left and plenty of experience. With that said, I'm also not touching this one.

    Yes, Alvarez is that good. Top 5 in his weightclass. Chandler can't stop him, only chance is humping him. But Eddie's wrestling is very good, and he's dangerous in every position.

    i think alvarez-chandler will be competitive. chandler looked good vs, patricky freire.

    Chandler is very legit, but I think the wrestling cancels out in this one. Alvarez will most likely get the best of him in the standup, but I don't like his price. No play.

    alvarez is better all around...and i don`t care how much chandler`s strikng has improved,it ain`t nowhere near as good as alvarez`......

    that said,chandler has that great wrestling background and that can negate an awful lot of stuff...alvarez` wrestling isn`t on par with chandler`s......when alvarez considers striking,he has to also consider the possibility of ending up on his back...and that`s not easy....it will inhibit his striking....

    the question is,can chandler take alvarez down?...and keep him down for at least 3 rounds?...cause that`s what he`ll have to do....

    i think that chandler would be a handful for pretty much most of the elite 155`ers in the ufc because of his wrestliing......it`s that good....

    but alvarez is an elite all-around fighter....

    in the ufc,this would be a co-main event,imo...alvarez is one of my personal faves......but chandler is very scary....

    alvarez dissed chandler at the weigh-in and chandler wasn`t real happy about it...

    5 rounds of hell.....

    Alvarez -260 small

    Lombard/Sandro/Chavez JR.(hbo sat. boxing)parlay.(This bet is big enough to cover the alvarez bet in case Chandler beats him.)

    Of course if the parlay misses I have a loosing card..

    anyone who says alvarez is overrated after this is an idiot. chandler just proved he's the real deal, although anyone who saw him fight patricky and woodard would know this already.

    Eddie has one hole in his game, his chin is going. He used to get rocked once per fight, every fight, this time he got rocked over and over. When Chandler got the sub, it wasn't because he finally outwrestled Alvarez, Eddie was in lala land.

    Not to take anything away from Chandler, he looked great, congrats to Chandler backers.

    Dantas is VERY fast and mobile. I think the only way Vila wins is if he makes a mistake and Vila catches him flush with a big punch.

    Vila could win on takedowns. Hes pretty quick too, for a round or two.
