    Initial thoughts -

    Liking Volkov over Kongo in this match up although Kongo should be game, Rickels should grind out a decision win here over the burnt out John Allessio, and Pat Curren with the experience should edge out Sanchez.. Might take a stab at Kato for small based just on their W/L records but don't know Kato at all. Kato is a big dog going in and he has fought and beat a bunch of no names.. He's Asian too.. Schilling has a losing record at 2-4 but has fought some names... Gonna watch video on Kato now...

    Besides playing the straights, I just might parlay up all the favorites for small also and see what sticks when I really think about it... More often then not in these smaller card venues the favorites usually all hit..

    Joe Schiling is the call IMO... Forget taking a stab at Kato as a big dog.. Kato is a solid class C fighter and Joe is a class B fighter. This should be a clinic if Joe fights smart and to his strengths... Like the under at -155 actually in this first betting bout.....

    Schillings is going to hurt that man.
    I doubt he lasts longer than 2 minutes.

    Just from schillings last fight he seems to be tsking this stab at mma seriously. He should roll hard in this one. Bellator wants him to gain sone steam too. Btw just scanning over all of Kato's previous 5 fights he is predominantly a striker....hmmm good luck with that. Lol

    Kongo's hog will be blowing (no pun intended) Volkovs out of the water though. Remember to take that into consideration. Kongo can also wrastle and knee the groin, Volkovs kryptonite.

    Thinking all favorites, but still undecided on main fight. The last 2 bellators have been all favs that won. Possibly going with fight not going distance for kongo

    The Kongo fight is a tricky play. ^^^ I'm not so confident on how to play it straight myself.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Alexander-Volkov-40951

    Kongo may have the advantage on the ground with his wrassling like Miri said and the Russian may have the advantage on the feet.. Thinking over round bet as a play myself in this bout maybe??.

    Bellator 139 - Heavyweight 3 rounds - Kansas Star Arena - Mulvane, Kansas - Spike
    Fri 6/26 3001 Cheick Kongo +140 o1½ -150
    10:30PM 3002 Alexander Volkov -160 u1½ +130

    Fight will probably end with either Volkov by KO or Kongo winning by decision via the lay and pray...

    I decided to take the over 1.5 in the Kongo Bongo scrap and also the under in the Shilling fight in a 2 team parlay to win even money..

    [Ticket #: 216811] PARLAY (2 TEAMS)
    06/26/2015 @ 07:20 PM MU [24351] TOTAL o1.5 -155
    (CHEICK KONGO vrs ALEXANDER VOLKOV)
    06/26/2015 @ 06:00 PM MU [24364] TOTAL u1.5 -175
    (HISAKI KATO vrs JOE SCHILLING)


    Also taking a stab with Kongo straight after all - $50 to win $70 against my better judgement... Hoping that wrestling advantage works for Kongo.. He has fought the stiffer comp in the UFC and coming off that last decision loss to King Mo he should be ready for the tall Russian in this one. Probably still wrestled up from preparing for the King Mo fight as well...http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cheick-Kongo-2193

    [Ticket #: 21681] STRAIGHT BET
    06/26/2015 @ 07:20 PM MU [24351] CHEICK KONGO +140

    May still take a stab at some of these props, thanks for sharing.. Kongo winning by decision is tempting at +365 for sure!!!

    I didn't even think the props were gonna pop up for bellator.. I see them all up just now on 5dimes..

    Going small with all favs on a 4 team parlay. Kongo's age is still a big factor and Volkov has some legitimate wins strung together. Should be a interesting fight either way. Good luck peeps 🍻

    Schilling has me convinced. I have him thrown in a whole bunch of parlays, some straight, some ITD.
    I like Curran too, and definitely lean Volkov.

    I wouldn't be that shocked if your 6 teamer hit Shabang..

    Kongo and maybe Emanuel Sanchez could bust it up though... Good luck chief as I'm with ya on all except for the big tall Russian in the main event..

    Always bet on black.. Wesley Snipes said it best... Get em Kongo!!! UFC veterans fighting in the lessor organizations represent more times then not..

    I will say this in behalf of the tall Russian with the solid striking - If Volkov wins tonight by a rude KO it could be his one way ticket stamp sending him right into the UFC...

    UFC is desperate for HW's right now.. It's been a bit thin for a while now....

    Pat Curran wins and by decision works... Next....

    The Legend Randy Couture found himself a lovely young blond i see.. Both all smiles at ring side.. He smells money with that Ken Shamrock return and pay day...

    Bellator will call his aging ole arse back in the cage soon for a legend super fight match up... I can see a Tito vs Randy rematch in the making already... Give it some time when Randy really needs some more money to pay for all that young blonds wants and needs....... Lulz..
