Well I think he should be the favorite in my opinion,what you think?Comment -
He seems VERY confident of his skills I will say that....I just don't know much about either...Comment -
As for Pedro:
TRAINING: This has been my first fight camp as a professional where I haven’t had to work a second job. I’ve had a minimum of two sessions every day and a lot more recovery between sessions this fight.
Have to factor that in, but I lean your direction...Comment -
I also like the Bearjew in this spot at plus odds. But, this is a very close fight.Comment -
Paul Craig (9-0) dominated the British circuit from 2013 to 2015, stopping seven opponents in the first round and one 42 seconds into the second. He needed a bit more time against Luis Henrique da Silva in his Octagon debut, but nonetheless walked away with a submission win and a "Performance of the Night" bonus.
"Bearjew" owns eight professional wins by submission, including three via triangle.
Australia’s Tyson Pedro (5-0) made short work of his first four opponents, finishing each in 3:05 or less. This set up a UFC bout with Khalil Rountree, who dropped Pedro with a thunderous shot early but ultimately succumbed to his grappling prowess.
His last three wins have come by rear-naked choke.
This one basically comes down to wrestling. Craig is slicker and far more proven on the mat, but he’s not a great takedown artist. Pedro consistently puts people on their backs, but he’s fought just two people with winning records.
I think I’ve got to go with experience here. Craig has faced quality grapplers like Karl Moore and -- even if he didn’t always stuff the takedown -- found the submission with impressive regularity. Expect Pedro’s aggressive wrestling to work against him as Craig puts him away with either a guillotine or triangle.
^^^I agree with this MMAmania write up as long as Craig doesn't get grapple focked. Both are undefeated so anything is possible though..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Tyson...46831#/slide/1
Already locked and loaded with Craig by submission..

Apparently Michael Johnson accepted the fight but it needs to get sanctioned which may be tough at this point. Not sure if Tony has accepted it.Comment -

Strange how all the fans and gamblers get all worked up about him missing weight but when u look at what the fighters say u realize they know how hard making weight is and the dangers. U guys that are insulting him can now sit back with your beers and chips and watch Woodley vs Thompson another great fight. Oh and don't forget to wipe off the chips from your belly's when u get up for another beer.Comment -
Going small on Coenen ML + ITD tonight. .5u on eachComment -
Were sittin' back eatin' chips, drinkin' beers and buying the F**KING $60.00 fight you hippy scrub!
Khabib's job was to make it to the fight, first, and foremost. He got slotted in 5 round co-main event, that rivals if not surpasses the main event.
The goddamn outcome might be the biggest UFC event to date, because it sets up Conor's next potential opponent.
We can do our part and pay the money, he can't do his. Guess what...making weight is hard, fighting is hard, winning is hard...it's what their paid to do. Fergy wishes him the best, personally I hope he, his dad, and any other worthless sub-human rusky relatives he have die in a plane crash on the way back to commie land! Guy is worthless as f**k!!!
So no, we ain't nor do we have to be sympathetic to him, Tony made weight, and he's the bigger goddamn guy...I mean how can you be this sh!t stupid? Go have a car wreck Thor, we got enough of you in the world screwin' it up already.Comment -
Aren't u used to this by now? Guys dropping out of fights? Listen to you. You want the guy to die in a car crash? Look i wanted to see the fight to but u are acting like one of those face painted jackasses that takes off your shirt at a Green bay game. Good lord lol. Move on you clown.Comment -
Heart broken...Comment -
At least Greenbay shows up to play, injured, sick, broke the f**k off, not like pussy Khabib. Your making excuses for failure, I got news for ya'...there ain't none.
But I guess somone has to defend the scumbags like Khabib, he can shit-talk for days but when it's fight time...nope nope nope. And him to accuse Ferguson of running from this fight, although at least he probably can run, maybe they'll get Khabib a wheelchair to keep up...
Also, learn to read you twat, I wanted him in a plane crash, told you to have the car wreck...gees christ almighty find a cliff already...Comment -
I agree with you dead on with every fight except Craig/Pedro. I think it's a bad style matchup for Craig, but I agree it's an exciting fight and both guys appear to be legit. I took Pedro though. I think with a full camp at Jackson's he will be able to use his imposing top game to control and avoid subs. Maybe even get TKO from mount or sink RNC. Craig is very good though and I will give him all the credit if he subs Pedro from bottom since Pedro has to know to be cautious with his BJJ.
I'm heavy on Godbeer. Not a lot to see on Spitz but his quality of opponents is complete trash, he's on one week's notice, sikjitsu camp is crappy, his kicks are half as good as Godbeer's, his hands are slower, and he has less power. Godbeer for the win by TKO as long as he doesn't get overconfident, rush it, and get dumped on his ass by the larger guy.Comment -
I was so focused on the TF Khabib fight Ive yet to bet the others...Comment -
People also need to remember the last time they were scheduled to fight TONY got hurt and pulled out....it was just a TAD sooner...Khabib then rolled Horcher who we have never seen AGAIN lolComment -
Gotta move on fellas... Still have a few good fights to bet on with this event..
I gotta say I think we would have all cashed on El Cucuy though.. That was good money at +odds.
Anyways.. Taking a pass on Bellator tonight.. Don't know the fighters didn't have the time to cap.. I'm Out.. GL though!!
