When the line opened I figured Rousey would become arbable, and also was trying to be smarter with my bet sizes. The odds aren't that profitable though, and I'm not comfortable risking this much but have decided to let it ride. Risking about 3.75 units on Rousey.
I think Tate just isn't very strong in the clinch. When Rousey fought Julia Budd I was worried because of how strong Budd is, but Rousey took her down easily although Budd was off balance at the time. When Tate clinches with people she often gets overpowered. Tate's wrestling take downs are good, but a lot of the grappling between her and Coenen was competitive, and Rousey is probably at least as good a grappler as Coenen, having trained with Gokor.
Sarah Kaufman vs Alexis Davis - 0.75 @ 1.2
Alexis Davis is probably going to burrow in and hug Kaufman to avoid her strikes. This might confuse the judges, but Kaufman is a great fighter, still think she is worth a play.
Ronaldo Souza vs Bristol Marunde - 0.3 @ 1.17
