Last I saw of Anderson, he was getting KO'd.

Is this Manhoef any good? I don't know most of these Bellator guys. I imagine Anderson is a big favorite for good reason.

leaning Anderson, but obviously ML odds way to high to take any action

Melvin "NO MERCY" Manhoef lives up to his name with some of these finishes.

Thanks for that video. I don't know any of those guys, but after watching it, I'm thinking Anderson should be more like -800.

If Corey Anderson shoots for takedowns, he's a lock.

If he stands and bangs, Manhoef has a 44 year old puncher's chance.

It all depends on the gameplan.

Anderson is bigger but Manhoef's frame is low to the ground. Will Anderson take him down easily? If it's easy then it's a good thing it's only a 3 rounder instead of 5. That's 2 less rounds Manhoef gets to start a round on the feet.

Really wish I could bet props.

Its not just wrestling, Corey Anderson can push and maintain a crazy pace.

The biggest danger for Corey could be him thinking he doesn't have to train as hard in bellator.

Some UFC fighters only do 20% to 30% effort camps making the transition.

Corey Anderson vs Ilir Latifi could be the closest matchup to Manhoef in terms of body type.

How did Latifi fare vs. Anderson?

Bates, the big favorite gets the notable win.

**DiggityDaggityDo** · 11-05-20, 05:22 PM

Got the first two legs of my parlay.

Still need 3 more though.

Guys give the Bulgarian youtuber a like. Don't want him going shooting up YouTube headquarters killing innocent people.

Latifi won round 1.

Couldn't match Corey Anderson's pace. Got tired.

Anderson won rounds 2 and 3.

Bookmaker removed all of the prelim fights as soon as the first one started.

Betonline kept them up.

Was loading up on Karakhanyan.

But like Biden supporters in PA who failed to vote before november 3rd.

I was too slow.

Manhoef may be 44 years but he still moves well. Especially compared to those old farts from last year's HW gp likes of Nelson Mir Sonnen etc.
