Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef (November 20, 2015)

**Unwritten Law** · 11-19-15, 06:24 AM

Hisaki Kato mismatch line. He's going to knock Melvin out 1st round. Very bad match up for Manhoef.

**JIBBBY** · 11-19-15, 12:18 PM

^^ Ya think Unwritten? Hmmm? Manhoef hits like truck.. He is 39 years old and very easy to figure out.. You could be right.. The Jap could get this for sure.. Manhoefs days are numbered in MMA at that age...

You talked me into it.. Asian fade not in effect here...

I already had a play on the under -1.5 at -225 as I think that is money.. Odds are high but this fight should not last very long either way...

**JIBBBY** · 11-19-15, 12:29 PM

Houston Alexander is another dinosaur at age 43 that should get lit up by this Brazilian.. I don't see Houston coming out of this fight conscious...

Viana should be too much for him.. He's also very tough to finish.. Never been KO'd.. I don't think Houston has the juice to beat the younger 29 year old in a 3 round decision either.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Guilherme-Viana-93945

Parlay it up boys...

Here are some solid write ups for this event -

MMAMANIA -http://www.mmamania.com/2015/11/18/9...s-spike-tv-mma

**JIBBBY** · 11-20-15, 02:18 AM

Going with -

- Viana over Alexander Houston (dude looks very old and beatable in last couple fights) Probably gets Ko'd does Houston...

- Campos over Girtz, beat him once could beat him again.. Like the over as well as this probably goes to decision..

- Chidi Njok over Rainy (Black dude has a knack for the KO's) He probably gets one in this fight and the under probably hits as well at +135

- Bubba Jenkins with the wrestling.. Thought this one over and went back and forth but in the end I had to take Jenkins just because he should be able to get take downs at will..

- Kato over Manhoef it is... Manhoef a one trick pony doesn't get the KO and gets dropped himself is my best guess. Kato the better striker... Odds shot to -150 since opening so the line is adjusting accordingly..

Good luck everyone that's my take..

Wish there were props up for this event... Oh well..

- Chidi Njok over Rainy (Asian dude has a knack for the KO's) He probably gets one in this fight and the under probably hits as well at +135

Da penetrate are you talking about Jibbby, rofl

**Unwritten Law** · 11-20-15, 05:14 AM

Kat looks in good shape and appears confident. He will have to weather the storm and find the counter if Melvin comes aggressive. Still think it will end in the 1st.

Edit fix....

He's not Asian (Black dude has a knack for KO's) it was late last night when I posted that and was a bit tossed.. Got confused for a second... My bad. My pick is spot on and I was talking about the same fighter at the time so Relax..... 8 KO's... http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Chidi-Njokuani-25761

170 lbs.: Chidi Njokuani (13-4, 1 NC) vs. Ricky Rainey (11-3)
I'm pretty well inoculated to the brutality of MMA by now, but Chidi "Bang Bang" Njokuani still managed to shock me at a live event in Lincoln, Neb., when he hit a vicious elbow strike to the spine of Chris Heatherly. First came the referee, then came the doctor, then came the stretcher to take Heatherly out of the cage to the hospital.
Thankfully, Heatherly recovered from the blow, but that's not something I ever want to see live again.
Njokuani reeled off three straight wins following that "No Contest" bout -- and Bellator clearly sees him as a prospect -- but for Rainey's sake, I hope Njokuani remembers the unified rules of MMA under the brightest lights of his career. Although he's a proven finisher with 62 percent of his wins via (technical) knockout (eight out of 13), Rainey earned the nickname "Sniper" for his pinpoint striking accuracy, too, finishing 7 of 11 wins (63 percent) the same way. This one ends when someone's lights go out.
Final result: Chidi Njokuani bangs out a second round knockout

Looks like some coin is coming in on Melvin Manhoef.

He's the one guy that always has a punchers chance anyways.. Is that worth betting on in this fight? I don't think so but you never know with MMA...

**THE_LOCKSMITH** · 11-20-15, 07:47 PM

Kato was around +400 in that last win or Schilling, and was ko'd in the fight prior to that. So i guess the money coming in on Manhoef think that Ko win over Schilling is being a little over valued.
