    Alvey probably knocks Casey out in the second or third.

    Alvey has great TDD and power and Casey seems to gas in every fight so I think he eventually gets put out by a big shot. Casey has also been KO'ed in all his losses.

    I haven't started looking at any of these fights yet, but that is a valid argument. Casey has good power himself and good grappling. I'd think Casey can either eek out a decision or possibly find a sub, but Alvey is always live for a KO.

    I would think that the fight goes the distance might be worth a shot, as it will probably be pretty good odds, and i can see a clinch fest or a grinding type of fight here. Maybe that bet, with a Alvey KO (or ITD since he penetrated me and got a sub last fight!) hedge. Idk, just some first thoughts.

    i got alvey by tko/ko prop as well, hopefully its a decent line... Casey has power but alvey definitely has the better technique and all 4 of caseys losses have come by tko/ko so he doesnt have the best chin, alvey needs the win and has been super active i think he may come out a little stronger then usual and finish this by the 2nd

    I think maia only wins if he subs condit or grinds out a decisions. I like condit a lot on the feet with his kicks.

    Well he's pretty unlikely to TKO Condit so yes those are his two paths to victory...

    From my view point its either Maia by dec/sub or Condit by tko.

    I think Condit could potentially win a decision as well but Maia Decision seems more likely.

    I change my avatar picture if my boy loses...

    I think DM softens up Condit from the top position then sub's him out at some point.. Condit is talking about retiring soon and I'm not so sure he's not past his prime and looking to walk out the door already..

    Maia is no spring chicken either but he seems to have found the fountain of youth as he's on a mission and determined to get another title shot.. That one title shot loss and embarrassment against Anderson Silva left a bad taste in his mouth I guess.

    DM will HAVE NO TROUBLE taking down the taller Condit.. Condit never did have great TD defense either.. That's the key factor in this fight.. DM just has to watch out for those Condit up knees when he shoots in and not gas out to badly if the fight drags on..

    i dont think maias gas tank will be able to keep up with condit imo, maia has looked super good lately but condit is on another level imo he is super super crafty on the feet and can mix it up with the best of them , i see maia possibly having some success in the first 2 rounds with a couple trips or single legs takedowns but i dont think hell get the sub on condit then once he starts to gas out a bit and starts shooting desperately when condit starts landing leg kicks and strikes from all angles hell land a nice flying knee or head kick to drop maia and finish him off ontop round 3/4 range .... i see condit being able to win by decision and tko/ko i see maias only path to victory here by sub and he could maybe squeak out a split decision but im not sure he can last 5 with condit on the winning end of things but its a super tough fight for both guys definitely but i gotta roll with the natural born killer here

    and jibby ill hold you to that if maia losses you can change your profile pic to tyron woodley

    ^^ I can't do Twood in my avatar Firekill..

    Although he did drop Ruthless Robbie and all Twood does is make me money.. Hmmm? Well this is all talk as I think DM takes out the natural born Killa...

    DM wins first 3 round just with td's and top control and can coast on his back thru round 4 and 5 if need be.. DM does need to watch out for those Condit knees and kicks for sure though like you said.. He'll get the decision if it goes that far..

    i was going to say you have to put condit as the avatar but that was to mean so i decided twood since you won with him previously plus hes a beast so why not

    and even if maia wins the first 3 i dont think hell be able to coast the last 2 rounds with condit 10 minutes is an eternity ... the matt brown is really still stuck in my head if he fights like that against condit hes getting knocked the hell out but this is a fight with 2 highly skilled fighters i just really like condits skill level people really sleep on his ground game imagine he rocks maia and subs him out that would be insane

    either way gonna put 2 units on condit nothing crazy but a larger then typical , i like his chances here and i really like the odds
    i wanna see the odds for the rest of the fights hopefully drop tomorrow , i think props will be good for this card , vanzant decision prop may have value and i like lauzon to beat miller plus alvey tko/ko possibly

    ^ Jim Miller vs Joe Lauson is a good fight. Not so sure Joe can take Millers punches?.. Miller is probably a bit better on the ground as well.. Joe is tough and has length but little head movement.. I lean Joe Lauson but ever so slightly.... Good scrap right there..

    That was along time ago.. 4 or 5 years ago?.. I think Joe got a little better since then, maybe Jim stayed the same.. Should make for a competitive fight and that's why I said it's a tough fight to call..

    1st fight went to decision if I remember correctly with Jim Miller winning. Could be a different story this second go around..

    Loving that Oliveira line ... In on that now!!!!

    Showtime Pettis has been No time Pettis lately.. Showtime Pettis 3 fight losing streak...Possibly a broken fighter..http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Anthony-Pettis-26627

    Oliveira looking good in recent fights, Max Holloway his only stumble.. Won 5 or last 6..

    ill be on condit straight for prob 2 units then another .5 units on tko/ko prop
    i like pettis at that line i thought hed be a bit higher then that, i think he knows he really needs this win for his career most of his losses have been by being bullied by the bigger man i think him at 145 will be good for his career hell be able to out power oliveria and outstrike him plus he is underrated on the ground i dont see him getting subbed here ..
    i was liking vanzant but at -260 the value isnt there , maybe the decision prop will be + money that could have value
    will also probably roll with alvey tko/prop and im leaning lauzon in the rematch i think he takes out miller this time
