odds out

Schaub small fave

[Skel]

On Schaub, Woodley, OSP.

[mirinquads]

What do people think about Woodley / Rory? Woodley probably has improved his cardio enough to steal two rounds I'm guessing. Rory is more polished on the feet though. Close fight.

[Lick496]

pretty tough card to bet, already been a bit of movemet too

[TheCalculator]

Love this card.

Yup.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Love this card.

For viewing, wagering or both?

[Kermit]

So many close odds in this one. Nice.

OSP/Rory parlay... NOT confident on the latter, hope he just jabs Woodley to death. I actually expected Woodley to look monstrous compared to Rory...was surprised that's not the case.

[Bumdeal]

locked in Mighty Mouse at -460 in 3 open parlays.

Johnson is on another level and the news about Bagautinov getting smacked around by Khaboliv in training makes me weary. Who knows what kind of damage he sustained.

[SarahPalin]

anyone really like rory especially at +123 dunno why hes underdog here

OSP/Rory parlay... NOT confident on the latter, hope he just jabs Woodley to death. I actually expected Woodley to look monstrous compared to Rory...was surprised that's not the case.

Rory is a few inches taller but Woodley is much more muscular. The height differential may actually work in Woodley's favor for getting takedowns and Woodley's explosiveness and ability to cover distance should help him in the striking. Rory may use the hunched-over stance he used against Maia but Woodley is a better wrestler and much more powerful striker than Maia.

"I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to learn from both of them," said Sanchez (5-1). "Obviously I'm not talking about the one when I'm with the other. Tyron can win that fight with his fists and Rory can win it if it hits the ground. We'll see how it goes."

[goodfellas433]

I felt that +120 was a good price (though that was a drop from 140 that many people snagged) as I picture this as a do or die for Rory mac....just seems like he really needs a win here to stay relevant.

[SarahPalin]

i just feel like rory can win the fight really easy or it will be close. dont see how woodley can absolutely dominate here maybe someone else can

[goodfellas433]

I can see Woodley going all raped ape beast mode and pounding Rory out. I don't see it happening enough not to take Rory at plus money.however

Ps...that marzwoody stare everyone is using pierces the soul

It will be interesting to see if Rory can do to T-Wood what he did to Ellenburger.

Ellenberger did next to nothing in that fight. He only went for two takedowns and got the second one. I doubt Woodley will be that inactive, even if he's troubled by Rory's jab.

[Sykes]

Rory via murder.

Woodley looks solid

[Vaughany]

Woodley is explosive.

[Das Jax]

I'm not sure Rory has what it takes to handle his athleticism and blue collar work ethic.

[TheCalculator]

Woodley gives me WOOD.

[Dwil125]

Took Rory +113 and +148, I think it's gonna be fotn.

More on this card coming soon..

[snapperman2]

I think that Woodley will beat MacDonald. MacDonald is overrated. He is very good technically, but he lacks the athleticism that Woodley and the other elite welterweights have. He also lacks knockout power.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

42.3 units on Mighty Mouse straight. 14.66 units on T-Wood. Good luck ALL!

I am leaning towards Rory as well.. I'm thinking he's the more polished fighter, has the wrestling and athleticism to stay with Woodley.. Even if Woodley takes him down I highly doubt he will be able to keep him there.. Rory just needs to watch out for the big swinging hook shots coming from Woodley and be able to deal with his speed and quickness early on..

Both guys can be knocked out in this one, but as far as skills and tools Rory has to have the edge in those departments.. I also would venture to say Rory has a much better Sub game then Woodley.. He's also the longer fighter.. Rory can beat you in more ways is what I'm really trying to say.. Cardio may also favor Rory if the fight extends..

I'm on Rory for small...

Didn't have time to check your picks you listed on the Bellator thread for this last UFC event.. How did you fair Ronster? Still on fire?

Mighty Mouse looks unbeatable these days, probably a good bet you made there!!!!.... I'll parlay him up myself if it stays around or under -500.....
