Hale -120

M'pumba +165

Mann/Nogueira -200

Mann/Nogueira/Hale +150

Im a big bellator fan.not house name fighters but with the tournament format they use you get to know the fighters quickly.

is ronnie mann that much of a lock/fav? my book has him at -725. wondering if he is worth throwing into parlays. last weekend the huge fav won a not so clean decision.

I like Mpumbu and Hale. Nogeira should be a safe play too.

It has all indications of being a squash match. I'd never bet anything over 2:1 in Bellator, though. Their main cards seem to have upsets on a routine basis.

With that being said. Mann should run over that guy. Nogueiria is the fight that makes me nervous. Gut feeling, but strong enough to lay off.

I took m'pimba with mann, feels good betting on a dog

had a small wager on linderman...just hate to see a guy give a fight away....

i was yelling at the screen,"let him off the fence"......he was consistently beating hale to the punch(imo)......

and then won`t give up on a failed takedown and the guy falls on top of him.....

just an amzing turn of events....might have cost him 100 grand....

not arguing the decision...the first two were close enough with linderman`s kicks to shade one his way,i guess...

but,damn that was stupid...how many times do we see guys hang onto failed takedowns only to wear themselves out or just have it turn into a disaster.... .

Haven't seen the fights yet, but one judge scored the Mann fight 30-25

The HOFF · 04-24-11, 03:32 AM

Spoon and Nogueira put on a good fight. I think both would make for some good match ups in the UFC.

The HOFF · 04-24-11, 03:40 AM

M'Pumba/Carpenter fight looked to be stopped a little early.
