Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull (August 26, 2016)

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-24-16, 05:15 PM

Wow, those lines look just right to me. I'm not sure if there's any bet on there worth it, except maybe McKee, but -550? Geez! Does anyone know will we be able to bet on the Prelims?

Yea, good point. What should Henderson be you think, -500?

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-24-16, 07:14 PM

I'm also thinking there's value on Awad at +130. Anderson and Awad are both strikers, but Awad might be too vicious for Anderson.

Bellator signing Rory was definitely a bigger move than Henderson. Rory has been a staple of the UFC for a long time, since he was 16, and has been in the top spotlight a lot more than Henderson, being at a higher weight class. Also, Henderson has fought some lame fights, walking backwards in the past, whereas Rory always goes for it and brings his A game. Plus Rory is the American Psycho, the white dude that has a lot of intrigue. Whereas Henderson is Samoan? Not trying to be rascist but Rory has a much bigger draw than Henderson for those reasons.

Not to nitpick but Rory has been in the UFC since 2010, when he was 21. Also, he's one of the most famous and well-loved Canadian fighters so signing him will definitely help Bellator in Canada. Henderson is an American of Korean and African-American descent.

Liking all the favorites on the betting card so far.. Can't pull a dog out of the mix thus far.. This could be a parlay heavy card adventure for Jibs...

Bubba Jenkins and Benson Henderson for decision wins on the props also.

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-26-16, 12:26 AM

Probably Jenkins because Karakian missed weight. Henderson's last fight he moved up a weight class. This fight, he's at his natural weight class and its his opponent is the one who moved up. He last fought a giant, now he fights a midget.

Bellator 160 Play:
Freire (+195) 1u

Don't really follow Bellator too closely but I'm trying to expand my capping knowledge. Small play on this card to get that started.

Maybe Freire can land a submission win if the fight goes to the ground.. Other then that I see Bendo out working and wearing down Patricio Freire to a decision win.. Bendo is a decision machine..

Freire is a little guy. Henderson is still relevant, beat Jorge Masvidal before moving to Bellator. I think Henderson has a dominant performance.

**Rich Benjamins** · 08-26-16, 04:36 PM

For you math nerds out there, do these lines seem accurate?

I was looking at the 5Dimes lines. It has McKee at -700. Then it has McKee to win inside distance: -215, and McKee to win 3 round decision: +330.

Lets say you risk $700. So if you put the $700 on McKee to win, you win $100.

But if instead you split the $700 up, put $200 on him to win 3 round decision, and put $500 on him to win inside distance, you win $160 if he wins a decision. And win $32 if he wins inside the distance.

We'll find out. I actually like the odds better on Freire Scorecards = No Action (+220) better than my initial play of Freire straight. Maybe the way to go is Freire SNA hedged with Henderson Decision (-111) or Henderson -3.5 (+120).

Georgi has some value... Last time he fought Bubba, he put him too sleep with a guillotine. Yes he missed weight and on a two fight skid. But I think he may be able too pull of a split decision. Then again Ive been picking like crap lately. Ever since I hit big on Eddie Alvarez, the mma gods have been slappin me around.

Its not MVP's fault no one in bellator wants to fight him.

Awad announced chasing fight of the night during weigh-ins. Nice fight thusfar.

**Sanity Check** · 08-26-16, 10:35 PM

Saad Awad gased out in the 2nd round.

Benson lucked out, his fight strategy is absurd
