    Wow, those lines look just right to me. I'm not sure if there's any bet on there worth it, except maybe McKee, but -550? Geez! Does anyone know will we be able to bet on the Prelims?

    I'm also thinking there's value on Awad at +130. Anderson and Awad are both strikers, but Awad might be too vicious for Anderson.

    Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull will be held on August 26, 2016 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The event will air live in prime time on Spike TV.

    Background


    The event is headlined by a Lightweight title eliminator fight between former UFC champion Benson Henderson and former Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Freire.

    Henderson, after being upset in his April debut against welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov, returns to the division where he twice defeated Frankie Edgar. He’s also beaten former UFC title challengers Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone.

    Freire, seeking to parlay the victory to a title shot against lightweight champion Michael Chandler, who claimed the belt by knocking out Freire’s brother, Patricky, on June 24

    Do to pressure from fans the feature prelim has been moved back to being the co-main event on the card featuring NCAA Division I National Champion in Wrestling Bubba Jenkins verse Georgi Karakhanyan. Last time these two met Karakhanyan defeated Jenkins by guillotine choke in the first round.

    Additionally, Four-time NCAA Division II Champion wrestler Joey Davis will make his professional MMA debut at Bellator 160, As an amateur he had a record of 5-0.

    Davis, 21, recently graduated from Notre Dame College, where he accumulated an undefeated 131-0 record over the course of four seasons during his collegiate wrestling career. He is the only Division II wrestler in NCAA history to win four consecutive national titles, and is one of three wrestlers ever to complete a four-year college career with an undefeated record, joining Cael Sanderson (Division I) and Marcus LeVesseur (Division III).

    Kevin Ferguson, Jr.'s Bellator MMA debut postponed due to injury.

    - The son of the late Kimbo Slice, Kevin Fergeson Jr. talked with Champions.co at the Bellator 160 open workout about growing up on the streets, the influence of his father and the differences in their fighting styles.

    Bellator signing Rory was definitely a bigger move than Henderson. Rory has been a staple of the UFC for a long time, since he was 16, and has been in the top spotlight a lot more than Henderson, being at a higher weight class. Also, Henderson has fought some lame fights, walking backwards in the past, whereas Rory always goes for it and brings his A game. Plus Rory is the American Psycho, the white dude that has a lot of intrigue. Whereas Henderson is Samoan? Not trying to be rascist but Rory has a much bigger draw than Henderson for those reasons.

    Not to nitpick but Rory has been in the UFC since 2010, when he was 21. Also, he's one of the most famous and well-loved Canadian fighters so signing him will definitely help Bellator in Canada. Henderson is an American of Korean and African-American descent.

    Liking all the favorites on the betting card so far.. Can't pull a dog out of the mix thus far.. This could be a parlay heavy card adventure for Jibs...

    Bubba Jenkins and Benson Henderson for decision wins on the props also.

    Probably Jenkins because Karakian missed weight. Henderson's last fight he moved up a weight class. This fight, he's at his natural weight class and its his opponent is the one who moved up. He last fought a giant, now he fights a midget.

    Bellator 160 Play:
    Freire (+195) 1u

    Don't really follow Bellator too closely but I'm trying to expand my capping knowledge. Small play on this card to get that started.

    Maybe Freire can land a submission win if the fight goes to the ground.. Other then that I see Bendo out working and wearing down Patricio Freire to a decision win.. Bendo is a decision machine..

    Freire is a little guy. Henderson is still relevant, beat Jorge Masvidal before moving to Bellator. I think Henderson has a dominant performance.

    For you math nerds out there, do these lines seem accurate?

    I was looking at the 5Dimes lines. It has McKee at -700. Then it has McKee to win inside distance: -215, and McKee to win 3 round decision: +330.

    Lets say you risk $700. So if you put the $700 on McKee to win, you win $100.


    But if instead you split the $700 up, put $200 on him to win 3 round decision, and put $500 on him to win inside distance, you win $160 if he wins a decision. And win $32 if he wins inside the distance.

    We'll find out. I actually like the odds better on Freire Scorecards = No Action (+220) better than my initial play of Freire straight. Maybe the way to go is Freire SNA hedged with Henderson Decision (-111) or Henderson -3.5 (+120).

    Georgi has some value... Last time he fought Bubba, he put him too sleep with a guillotine. Yes he missed weight and on a two fight skid. But I think he may be able too pull of a split decision. Then again Ive been picking like crap lately. Ever since I hit big on Eddie Alvarez, the mma gods have been slappin me around.

    Its not MVP's fault no one in bellator wants to fight him.
