    Is this the biggest change in odds in an immediate rematch? I think it's nuts that Curran is at +odds when last time he was like -400. Yeah I think Straus proved he was underrated but that much? That's crazy talk.

    40% chance of winning, HA. 3U on Curran.

    I'm not betting on a guy like Pat Curran with admitted depression and mental issues who was thinking of quitting MMA anyway. I took Strauss at -170 and also parlayed him with Not Myles Jury Inside the Distance at UFC 171.

    Yea -400 to +150 is a pretty big swing

    Straus weighed in at 145.5 and has two hours to make weight. He cut his dreadlocks off but it wasn't enough.

    People who have never had a loved one with a depression disorder have no idea how much of a negative effect it can have. Absolutely NO WAY I'm putting my hard earned $ on Curran. I wish him well but I'm not risking any money on him.

    Strauss ultimately made weight within the allowed time frame.

    Can nah-shon Burrell overcome koreshkov to move forward in the semifinals of bellator's tourney? Line is -300 right now.

    Koreshkov is 14-1 and I thought koreshkov looked bad during his last fight. Maybe nah-shon has ramped things up and is planning a nice run for himself?

    Koreshkov is a huge bet for me. Nah-Shon is not a good fighter.

    When you say he looked bad, are you referring to Koresh's fight vs Askren or his most recent fight against David Gomez? If you're referring to his fight against Askren, Nah-Shon is quite a different matchup.

    Agreed.. Straus by decision seems like a no-brainer here

    I think you're way, way, way off on both points here, but Koreshkov probably wins. I'm on Burrell, he's being undervalued.

    I could see pat by decision, even though I'm kind of bias. I stuck not straus itd at 4 to 1 in some parlays for tomorrow. That line should be bigger.

    I gotta agree. -300 is pretty steep, I'd take Koreshkov up to -200 but no higher.

    To be fair. Burrell was competitive vs Wonder Boy in defeat. However, I see Koreshkov winning a comfortable decision. @ -140 the Over is another play with value that should cash.

    I see Koreshkov winning as well (which is why it is a no bet for me) but I can't see him winning 77% of the time as 5Dimes thinks. 2/3 of the time is reasonable, more than 3/4? No way.

    The over is definitely a good call though.

    Won two dogs, lost on oropeza. Got big money on koreshkov and feeling very confident about it.

    Cant decide curran or Straus. Leaning toward a small play on curran itd.

    Don't want to be that guy but... I told everyone so! Koreshkov is a beast and Burrell is not a good fighter.
