Bellator: Newton vs. McGeary (February 27, 2015)

Pabst · 02-25-15, 02:41 PM

I might bet King Mo here. If he catches Kongo it could be night night early

PaperTrail07 · 02-25-15, 02:55 PM

He is going to be way to quick right?

This is one of the better Bellator cards... I'm jacked to check it!!!!!

McGeary, Daley and probably Kongo Bongo for me...

King Mo is coming up in weight so I'm waiting til weigh ins to see if that is fat weight he put on or not.. If Mo is solid at HW he might take out the 39 year old Kongo.. Bit unsure about this pick???

Linten Vassel and Brennan Ward probably pick up the wins if I had to guess as well.... Like the over 1 1/2 rounds bet at -125 in the Ward fight also..

The line movement on Liam McGeary is crazy! I briefly saw it at +120 but by time I got my bet in it was at -120... it's currently at -185 on 5Dimes. If anyone has not had a chance to watch this guy fight, check him out. He's in my top 3 favorite fighters to watch in all of MMA. I really think he has what it takes. I'm curious if a win on Friday night gets him on Dana White's map for a UFC contract.

How's Kongo's TDD? Won't Mo just lay on top of him for 3 rounds to a decision?

Kongo's wrestling is solid, the one area in his game that has actually improved over the years.... Kongo's gonna be the larger man so it's not unthinkable to consider Kongo holding his own in the wrestling department against Mo..

PaperTrail07 · 02-25-15, 06:57 PM

Mo's speed HAS to be an advantage though right? He is so quick...Congo has let people with 1/2 the speed catch his jaw...

Mo at HW might not be as fast Paper, and he will be at a reach and size disadvantage going into this one.. Kongo's chin is suspect though and it's certainly not getting more granite like any time soon at age 39.. Tough call...

Sanity Check · 02-26-15, 08:00 AM

King Mo's wrestling & overall game has improved a lot since he moved to American Top Team.

I think I'll take King Mo in this one.

Pabst · 02-26-15, 08:03 PM

Won't bet this event, no bet really stand-out, ive gone back and forth about betting Mo but meh... Kongo has 25pounds on him. Still think Lawal should be the favorite. Quicker, better wrestling, better chin when he doesnt get spinning back fisted out of nowhere.

JIBBBY · 02-26-15, 09:01 PM

^^ Kongo 6'4" and King Mo 6'0" with reach to go along with that 25 pound weight advantage come fight time.....

Black on black crime about to go down!!!!

Kongo is a grinder these days and he has learned to fight cautiously and at a distance effectively.. Shouldn't be a problem against the shorter Mo... Bongo's on a 2 fight win streak and has looked decent... Gotta remember Kongo fought some of the best in the UFC for a time and as far as I can tell he hasn't gotten any worse since then.. He's not a Karo Parisyan of sorts at this point anyways in his career..

I'm thinking Kongo by decision win myself..

2207 Kongo wins by 3 round decision

<input id="radiox" value="M1_14" name="radiox" type="radio">+350

With that said - King Mo should come up a little "short" like he did against Rampage and Newton. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Muhammed-Lawal-29858

Newton looks stacked and fit as ever.. Hmmm?

I'd imagine Mo to come in abut 220 and Kongo isn't that heavy. Maybe a 12-15 lb advantage. He length and decent sprawl make me think he wins this standing.

Rubber Guard · 02-26-15, 10:31 PM

unit analyisisisis.

Jibbb that is all you

PaperTrail07 · 02-27-15, 11:35 AM

Lets be real here JIBBBY.....they gave that fight to Rampage....it cashed a huge parlay for me...wont forget that....was very upset until the rigged decision came in...

^^^^Kongo has this fellas.. I hate betting on Kongo but gonna roll the dice in this one.

PaperTrail07 · 02-27-15, 12:22 PM

Same here JIBBBY....decided to go with Kongo myself....Mo has to either take him down, or stay away....only fear is tht he is just way way to quick for kongo but he should the size should make up for that a little...

Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock Set for Bellator Bout June 20

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2378391-kimbo-slice-vs-ken-shamrock-set-for-bellator-bout-june-20

Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock, two of the biggest novelty attractions of this or any other MMA era, are scheduled to square off June 20 for the Bellator promotion.

I think I like Kimbo Slice in this one...

JIBBBY · 02-27-15, 05:14 PM

I'm starting to think Fig Newton has a decent chance in the main event... He's in great shape, impossible to knock out and has the experience advantage going in by far.. If he does lose this fight I'm guessing it's by decision anyways..

o1½ -170 seems like a solid bet in this 5 round fight....

Newton +140 & Lawal +120 is what I ended up snagging tonight.

GL!

ItsMeMrMattE · 02-27-15, 07:24 PM

mcgeary a little to overconfident and newton has a lot of heart and grit. that being said im still going with mcgeary. anyone know of a site that tracks mma line movement?

Mo 217 with his warm ups, fight shorts ( you can see them), underwear, socks possibly double, and shoes,blinged out watch. How many pounds do we take off? Mo is about 213? 209?

Unwritten Law · 02-27-15, 08:16 PM

I like Brennan Ward -120 against the newcomer. Anyone have opinions on that fight?

Unwritten Law · 02-27-15, 08:17 PM

Wow, McGeary now -115

ItsMeMrMattE · 02-27-15, 08:18 PM

thanks jibby. damn hit mcgeary a few minutes too soon.

Unwritten Law · 02-27-15, 08:25 PM

I'm with Jibby, I took the over 1.5 in the Newton-McGeary and also Ward-Millender.

Line is moving because bettors saw a very fit Newton at weigh ins.. I went with McGeary straight a while back at -165 myself and sticking with my guns but kinda kicking myself for it.... Very unsure about this pick now I can't lie.

HERE WE GO!!! Iiiiiiitsssss tiiiiiimmmmeee!!!

Unwritten Law · 02-27-15, 09:12 PM

Just placed this, hope it hits!

Ward -127
Kongo/Mo o1.5 -185
Daley -419
McGeary -113

150 to win 814.36

Nick Papageorgio · 02-27-15, 09:18 PM

overs never had a shot

Unwritten Law · 02-27-15, 09:24 PM

Wiped out that parlay but hoping King Mo and Kongo will stall for a bit. Initially liked the over, but thought better and had Ward on the last play.
