    I flat out refuse to be excited for a card anymore until maximum a week before it. I wonder if any of these fights will actually happen.

    Wow, a lot of value on Nate there. I was thinking Bendo would open around -160. +210 for Nate? Damn. Love Gus at -145. He's going keep Shogun at bay and box him up for 3 rounds.

    At those odds, the value is on Diaz, no doubt.

    If Bendo fights more like how he fought Miller and Guida, he should win.

    I'll probably sprinkle a bit on Diaz by Decision and fight goes distanciaa

    The judges might screw with the Diaz brothers again.

    Cerrone Henderson round 1 of fight 1 is worse case scenario IMO

    Hendos gameplan should be to leg kick

    I reckon Diaz's last three performances might be clouding my judgement. When I first saw that line, I thought that it was way off. Thing is, looking at it logically, Bendo is a nightmare matchup - insanely difficult to submit, strong wrestling, hard leg kicks which both the Diaz bros are susceptible to. Still feel like the line should be a little closer with the kind of tear that Diaz is on.

    Cerrone has much better leg kicks and was tooled on the feet. Jim Miller has good wrestling, is strong, and is impossible to submit too and he got waxed. Line is definitely off.

    Anyone else find it funny that Nick was known for struggling with wrestlers and was inconsistent. Started off 15-7 before he hit his stride. Nate same deal and was 13-7 before he hit his stride and has won 3 in a row. Their careers mirror one another.

    I took both of those into consideration mate. Would have to look at the stats, but how many leg kicks did Cerrone throw? I seem to remember about 3 or 4, and he had success with them when he did use them. Diaz totally got into his head.

    I don't feel like Miller's wrestling is anywhere near to Bendo's - his offensive BJJ is way better, however. He, again, tried to brawl with Diaz like Cerrone did, got the piss kicked out of him and then got caught in a nasty sub.

    I feel Bendo's mental game is very strong and just don't see him getting flustered in the same way.

    Diaz, makes people fight his game. He outclasses the people he face. Is it worth playing @ +200? Obviously! if i had it on my book, i wouldnt just pound the line, i would anally creampie it!!!!

    Yeah, just to clarify, I'm not saying there's not definite value in Diaz. 3 incredibly dominant performances, 2 of which were against really legit fighters against a guy who's just had two very close fights (and he was in a couple of dangerous spots against Guida too, despite it not being a close fight).
