the second sentence of course is a stretch you may clearly disagree with...but heed well the first sentence
(regardless of who wrote it...and regardless of who Overeen is pitted against)

Overeen = proceed with extreme caution = cap with the focus of asking "how likely is it that his opponent will survive the initial brutal onslaught"...if the answer is "more likely than that implied by the price"...then be prepared for your money to go down as hard as Over-roid/Under-cardio/Under-chin has shown us he can...and there'll be absolutely no excuse THIS TIME for anyone thick enough to put any substantial money on this "Will he fool us Thrice???" matchup

Overeen is a definite NO-PLAY for me (unless Mir is ridiculously-enough dog-priced to consider that option)...
I don't think his statement is accurate at all. There is pretty much no one in the sport whom I wouldn't be willing to go big on against someone. It's all percentages. A fighter's weaknesses are something to be factored in, but sometimes they're not enough to offset how much of an advantage they should realistically have.

Yes, but that's not why I like it. I find it funny where the o4.5 closed, and where 5D opened the o2.5 in relation to it. Supports a theory I have.

interested in this theory. pm me if you dont want to post it.
Well, their blunder was in leaving the o4.5 up, which is pretty irrelevant and unimportant, it's just for the reason posted above that I like it.

I'll PM you about it later today if I remember.
