[Kermit]

Looking forward to seeing Paul Felder in action again.

Crazy how that fight originally went from Pettis Vs Jury to Barboza Vs Felder

[JIBBBY]

TJ Dil for me again... He has his number... Beat him badly once already and i don't see that changing in this second go around.. Easy money..

[brooks85]

hard to say, fact is dillashaw landed early causing barao's head to become scrambled eggs and the rest of fight was irrelevant for this matchup. I'm on dillashaw, just had to decide if it was itd or decision.

I would play Dillashaw straight up cuz he can win either or... but its an interesting fight.. I'm Team Dillashaw again. The Dominator is picking Dillashaw also.

what are the odds Aldos brother pulls out of this main event

[GunShard]

Putting my 80% win record on Dillashaw to defeat Barao.
Feel free to follow me there.

Looking forward to seeing Paul Felder in action again.

Crazy how that fight originally went from Pettis Vs Jury to Barboza Vs Felder

Yes Barboza/Felder should be good. Neither guy has much of a ground game so they cancel each other out. Paul & Barbosa also don't KO guys with their hands (yes that spinning back fist was nice but Paul caught Castillo.) Barboza will be Paul's toughest fight by far. Barboza wins this fight. The odds should be close. Both are great kickers but Barboza is the better kicker.

[CaptChaos145]

Barboza
Lauzon - Gomi has the big overhand right and if doesn't land JLo takes this easy.
Tate will be a slight fav over Eye. I give Eye the stand up advantage but if the fight goes to the ground (Miesha TD) then Tate really has the advantage. Plus not many fighters (male or female) have the heart and iron will like Miesha. She really imporesses me with her toughness.
Miller beats Castillo

[Unwritten Law]

Going with Barao here. Felt Soto gave Dillashaw a tough outing until he got caught in the final round. Barrio was quickly written off and was considered a top P4P champion during his reign before his defeat. The initial rematch was too sudden and given more time off to focus and regain his sense from that beatdown, I think he'll be heading into this rematch with a better game plan. He clearly underestimated Dillashaw the first time. I don't think he commits the same mistake again.

I was so anxious to see the Jury/Pettis line. Would've pounded Jury +400 or so.

Right there with you

Really? I think Jury would have gotten crushed. His stand up is not great and his wrestling is good but not great.

Jury has the boxing to hurt Pettis at in-range and the BJJ/top control to avoid the sweeps/subs and win the positional battles.

Pettis benefitted greatly by having the perfect style to beat two elite guys (Bendo/Cerrone) and would beat both again, but that in my eyes did nothing to answer my concerns about his infighting, hands, and tdd.

I'd need more than that.. +450/475 possibly. Jury doesn't have the physicality to hurt Pettis. Pettis is quicker, much more athletic and much better at range. Jury can't force an in fight here and win it imo. He's not really a pressure fighter, most of the time content to just strike at range, and time a takedown once in a while. Had a close fight with Richie.

Ofcourse he's young so he may have improved.

Underestimate him? He's gonna get hit with the same right hand again.. We just watched a similar fight with Robbie and Red King.. I know you like Barao, but I'm a Dillashaw fan, he's got his #.

I thought Barao was hurt VERY early in that fight. I think Barao plus some change may be a decent play. The Soto fight sucked. Couldn't get a good read exactly how much TJ has improved

[UncleChael]

I just re-watched Paul Felder put out Danny Castillo with the spinning back fist. He's going up against the stand up machine.. odds -150 Barboza? Any guesses. -150 M.Tate?

[Unwritten Law]

Barao could get owned again but it's a good risk getting nearly 2/1 odds. Dillashaw is a cardio machine and his motor is comparable to Frankie Edgar's. I hope Barao's coaches put more emphasis on his cardio because Dillashaw fights at a fast pace. I think that his Barao's downfall. He couldn't keep up and was overwhelmed. We could be in store for a trilogy if he wins.

[CaptChaos145]

I also believe Barrao underestimated TJ. The guy was on a huge winning streak and was a huge fav in that fight. Barrao knows what TJ brings to the table. I think Barrao wins this the 2nd time around. It's hard to get up for a guy when you're a huge favorite. TJ hurt him early, surprised him, and Barrao never recovered.

With that said I can't wait for the lines to come out for this card.

[JIBBBY]

Lines need to come out...

Mesha Tate vs Jessica Eye... Hmmmmm?

Mesha maybe because of her boxing and toughness? Mesha can wrestle as well and has Rhonda Rousey big fight experience... Jessica Eye is one of the better female fighters and is a seasoned veteran in her own right though.. Could give Mesha fits..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jessica-Eye-39575

[GoBlue77]

need odds. possible large bet on Jessica Eye!!!!

dont bet against jessica

[MMA_Oracle]

dont bet against jessica

betting large on any woman that isnt named Ronda or Cyborg

[CaptChaos145]

I have not seen Eye go to the ground yet and if Miesha can take McMann down, she can take Eye down.

[UncleChael]

Lines are out - Barboza -175/ Felder+135 + Eye +160/Tate-210 + J Lau -260/Gomi +180.

[JIBBBY]

dont bet against jessica

I'll be looking for the over in this fight if the odds are reasonable..

Both these girls are tough as nails, grapplers first, hard to finish and go the distance decision queens...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Miesha-Tate-26252

[UncleChael]

James Krause +165 anyone?

Probably the better bet. I was leaning Eye.

Yep up on 5D now.. Over is -230 for the Tate/Eye fight

[JIBBBY]

Liking mostly all the favorites on this card at first look.. No dogs are really sticking out and barking play me IMO..

First 3 fights on the card might have some dog potential maybe? Possibly Jessica Eye... Danny Castillo vs Jim Miller is tough fight to call.. Probably Jim Miller takes it though..

Liking Barboza, Saunders and Lauzon for sure....

[bjpenn85]

Felders striking is really good though. Saunders meets a hardnosed wrestler in robertson and lauzon, well ill guess he is a tad bit better than gomi at this point, but is that little edge wort betting. At evens maybe, at -200 no way.

[JIBBBY]

James Krause +165 anyone?

Maybe? You get past Daron's karate crap style he's beatable for sure..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Daron-Cruickshank-53717

Only problem is James Krause just isn't that great of a fighter either.. He's been dropped before from kicks to the body and that's Daron Cruickshanks strength.. Just saying....http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/James-Krause-31766

You might be right about Roberston.. I might back pedal on Ben Saunders..

Ben Saunders does need to get around Robertson's wrestling.. Good point.. Gonna have to go watch more vids on Robertson.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kenny-Robertson-31978

Saunders has been put on his back before by strong wrestlers but usually weathers the strorm.. Ben has decent Jits and probably better striking though. Seems to be getting better with every fight now is Ben and he just might get the KO in this one.. .http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ben-Saunders-10339

Tate drops 45 cents and Eye drops 35 cents? Now -165 Tate. +125 Eye.
