Chad Mendes by decision -110??

[ReBEL`LiON]

Can someone find some inside info on why this is? Looks like an absolute lock on paper but this scares me.

What i know about mendes and yahya is that Mendes mentioned on INSIDE MMA that his gameplan is to sprawl and brawl and it was no secret.

Mendes' boxing has looked developed against omigawa and vasquez. Also, alpha male fighters usually arent afraid to go to the ground and mendes has some wrestling credentials to back that up.

yahya on the other hand is a pure grappler with no intentions of keeping this on the feet aside from throwing some wild swings he is not a threat on the feet to mendes.

these guys are featherweights and neither are huge strikers so why is are the odds so.. odd?

P.S. I've just started to be active on this forum again and glad to be back contributing. ive been capping MMA ever since odds were available and have been successful all the way through. looking forward to give my insight on things. cheers

Looks like value, but I wouldn't throw up any dancing locks.

Probably based on the fact that Mendes' Alpha-Male buddy Benevidez finished Yahya so there is no reason a bigger more powerful version in Mendes cant do the same thing

Is this 5 rounds? I wouldn't trust him not finishing if it was a 5 round fight.

If I'm not mistaken he's a much bigger and stronger fighter...and Yahya doesn't have the best wrestling in the world, so this fight is will be dictated by Mendes.

Why would it be a 5 rounder!? It's just an undercard fight

i like mendes to win by decision. i dont think mendes looks to finish as much as benevidez. he seems content to use his wrestling and grind out decisions.

i already have a play on mendes by decision, and a parlay on mendes + rory mac to win. i may throw a little something on yahya by submission, just to be safe.

[Vaughany]

He came close to finishing Omigawa twice, Omigawa has got a solid chin which I dont think Yahya has. Good idea to have Mendes straight up in a parlay like u have

i see mendes keeping this standing and getting the KO to be honest.

Same here

[Educ8d Degener8]

I can definitely see Mendes getting a KO here...

But I can also see this playing out as the midget version of Ellenberger vs Carlos Eduardo Rocha. (sans the retarded judging)

[Straight Cash]

If Mendes wins I'd be shocked if it's not by decision...

Id be shocked if it was by submission...not if it was by TKO

[Kaladarus]

I really like this play. Anything could happen, but this is the most likely outcome easily.

All fights in the UFC are going to be 5 round fights from now on just depending on when the two fighters agreed to the fight.

I looked it up and 133 is actually one of the last cards to have 3 round fights.

You must have inside info that no one else has. They've announced that all main event fights are going to be 5 rounders, but thats it AFAIK.

Pretty sure its just main events that are 5 rounders.

Where are you getting the prop for Mendes by decision? I don't know any bookmakers who are offering that.

[GunShard]

Nice play.

mendes came in to knock yahya out. he broke his hand in the fight.
