Hey Jibs, how about a Betpoints Wager? I take Daley, you get Macdonald

Really you're taking Daley??? I was trying to figure out if Rory can get the finish or not. If not he dominates 3 rounds for sure.

Yup

[Hugo de Naranja]

how much

100 for 300

[firekillex]

100 for 300

not interested in that really, gl though

[Sanity Check]

Feeling tempted to put something down on Linton Vassell.

McGeary isn't much of a wrestler, there's no guarantee it goes to the ground where he does his best work.

[firekillex]

honestly havent watched vassell or sakai
probably go with rory mac then choose kongo or mcgeary for a -110 bet

[Hugo de Naranja]

not interested in that really, gl though

What would you be interested in? I've got to get at least ML odds on Daley

[firekillex]

didnt even look at odds when i commented, i would do anything under 250 for 100
im just gonna parlay rory with somebody for real $ i dont like -300 favs straight at all especially against a ko artist

[Sanity Check]

Cheick Kongo's opponent, Augusto Sakai, averages .5 groin strikes per round in his last two fights.

If an eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

What happens if Kongo and Sakai go nut shot for nut shot?

Little short on betpoints these days, in the process of building them back up now..

Do love Mac though... I think he cleans Daily, probably takes him down and beats on him like a drum.. Daley has no ground game what so ever.. It's gonna be an easy win for Rory Mac..

[JIBBBY]

Liking all the favorites as usual.. Parlay's are in play for sure since their are never props out for Bellator anymore. ..

On Bovada they come out about an hour or 2 before for Bellator and early afternoon most UFC cards.

Liking the 0ffensive passiveness and defensive minded battle of Kongo vs Sakai to go OVER 1.5 Rounds.

Do they? I usually just check 5dimes in the past and see nothing.. In the past if 5dimes puts up props typically all the other books follow then after.. I'll check Bovada tonight thanks Ty...

Paul Daley Round 2 TKO (Punches)

I also like Kongo and Vassell by decision.. I don't think Paul Daley is gonna pull off a Robbie Lawler type KO win over Rory Mac though..

I gotta believe Rory is gonna try to get this fight to the ground.. Daley has a very weak ground game.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Annoying that there are no props.

If Rory gets it to the ground, he will dominate. If it's a fifteen minute battle on the feet, I'll take Daley to out kickbox almost anyone.

Annoying that there are no props.

There was always props for Bellator in years past. This year they just stopped putting them out..

This is a fairly big name Bellator event as well so I was hoping 5dimes would put them up.. No dice yet...

[Hugo de Naranja]

Added 1u Vassell (+130) as it looks like Vassell Decision won't be offered

[Sanity Check]

I'm almost all in on Kongo ML.

Let's see if I get fkd.

I like that bet. People are reluctant to bet on Kongo because of his age, but he showed in his last fight he still has it.

[JIBBBY]

Kongo fights more cautious standing these days and uses his improved wrestling more often.. This has made him a more complete fighter and harder to beat..

I think Kongo takes this fight but he is facing a BIG boy and an undefeated fighter in Sakai.. Kongo is 42 years old now also..

Anyways, with this win Kongo may find himself back in the UFC for a last hoorah!! Kongo Bongo has rattled off 4 wins in a row in Bellator now..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cheick-Kongo-2193

Kongo looked like a beast against Oli Thompson.

Hard to imagine he'll lose against a heavyweight who doesn't seem to have good trainers or a good team who didn't do well against a natural 205'er in his last outing.

Kimbo's son won his fight. Wonder if he could develop into a prospect someday.

Looks like Kongo won. Not sure if he'll get a title shot off a split decision. I'm sure bellator wanted him to get an impressive finish so they could market a title fight better. :/

edit: holy !@#%. Linton Vassell beat McGeary.
