    odds are out on 5 dimes

    -110 Phil Davis
    -130 Rashad Evans

    Who do you guys like in this one? Should be a very close matchup, but Rashad will probably pull it off since he's more polished on his feet. I'm pretty sure their wrestling cancels out here. I really hate that Bones had to pull out, but this fight will be much closer... just hopefully not a snoozefest.

    Davis was +165 wen it came out, was gonna take it but I think Davis' only way of winning this is by decision so gonna wait for tht.

      this fight boils down to whether davis can take rashad down. many people have pointed out that davis had trouble taking down lil nog, so they assume he wont be able to take down rashad and that rashad will win the stand up en route to a decision. i dont necessarily think this will be the case. i think davis' wrestling is a notch above rashad's and will be able to take rashad down and control him on the ground. i'm leaning towards davis by decision.

                  Good call V thats his only way to win. I'll wait to see if Davis goes back close to opener. If not i'll just take him by decision.

                    i`m gonna take davis as a dog if possible.......never have been impressed with rashad`s mma wrestling...i don`t think the wrestling cancels out here...

                    if aggressiveness carries as much weight as it has recently,i think davis` length and athleticism will carry him....

                    rashad is just way too economical with his offense....he goes long stretches doing absolutely nothing but posing...

                          Did I miss something? I thought Rashad and Jon Jones were fighting next? They were even talking shit on twitter a few days ago.

                            Jon Jones sustained an injury from his fight with Shogun that will require surgery.

                              I still recall Rashad's troubles with Sean Salmon and Tito Ortiz and don't think I could take him. On the other hand, Davis has the credentials, but hasn't had the greatest MMA wrestling. I'm not feeling this fight at all from a betting perspective.

                                  Rashad evans wins on the feet, Phil davis will have to take rashad on the floor, something he had huuuge problems with regarding his credendtials, against gustafson, and nougeira the first, and if i dont remeber half secound round. Rashads takedown defense is good, but he is also much quicker then nogueira and gustafson. On the feet his hands are not that bad, while phils is still a bit, unpolished. If this was against ryan bader, i wouldnt bet on it. I would be very very surprised if davis can pull this one off. This would be an huge upset in my opinion.

                                    As of right now it seems to me that Evans is the better wrestler and has the much better stand up as well...I see -115 both ways right now at 5 dimes and that seems like a very good bet to me for Rashad...I mean I know Rashad is coming off a long layoff here but hes clearly better overall IMO
