    Some more lines up. Missed the opening but caught Tim Means at -210. That guy should never have been cut from the UFC.

    I think there is less than 35% chance that a knock out occurs in teh first two rounds.

    Costa has not shown proven 1 punch KO power in the UFC.

    It is a possibility that either get KOed.

    I'm leaning towards costa, never been impressed by larkin aka weak defense, and costa does have those boxing skillz, but hes getting older now, might retire if he loses. either way i'm not invested in the fight,

    No, its just logical that he might be cut or choose to retire, if he loses it would be third straight, and hes not getting any younger.

    I think it's mainly due to Silva's submission game. Brown has shown to been weak on the ground, though his last submission loss was a while ago.

    ya, almost all of Brown's losses are by sub, and most of Silvas wins are by Sub

    I think I missed Koch's last fight, but Rafaello Oliveria is a tin can.

    My question is: why in the world is Koch such a big favorite here?

    Knockout of Assuncao, Roufusport hype and the idea that he underperformed at 145 due to the weight cut. Cruickshank has had some bad losses, too.

    Brown vs Silva is going to be a bad@ss fight. I'm not betting it just going to enjoy it. But as previously stated I will be on Larkin Large!

    Don't get the Larkin love. Looked bad in his last fight.

    Looked bad against Carmont (I do think he won, but it was still a so-so performance).

    I could easily see Costa outboxing him and avoiding takedowns.

    larkin love prob stems from his win over robbie lawler, looked great in that fight, has potential but really crapped the bed last fight...was robbed vs carmont

    I just don't get Brown at +180, even given the Silva's submission game/Brown´s sub defense. Worst case scenario should be even money, and thats absolute worst case scenario IMO. Am i crazy here?

    Also like Magney and Cruickshank for small dog plays.

    Agree but you have to acknowledge that Carmont does that to every body, best spoiler in MMA IMO. I also think Larkin won.

    He was a better technicl striker against Tavares, but got out volumed. I could see Costa doing the same if he fights the right way.
