I am looking for a fighter to parlay with Dominick Cruz. I was originally thinking Mike Easton, but his two year layoff has me hesitant. What do you guys think of Neer?

I would rather go with Shane Roller.Comment -
I think Neer is a solid pick for your parlay.Comment -
Thanks, I just feel like his experience in the UFC will help him tonight. He's definitely a scrappy fighter....Comment -
I like roller and was tempted to throw him in my parlays instead of neer, but I went with neer. Grant is a solid wrestler with some smooth jitz, and he looked huge next to shane. Assuming the weight cut didn't hurt him, I could see that fight be long and grueling for both men and its a lot more close I think than people believe.
TS, I like neer and he's in most my plays so I hope he wins. They're both journey men tho and this could turn into a back and forth scrap that might be close - I'll admit I think neer is a bit over valued at -260.Comment -
Roller has definitely fought better comp, I agree. Grant has fought some solid comp at ww too (losing D's to stun gun and hendricks - while losing, those are some solid wws), and I think size matters at times in this sport, and this could be one of those instances. Keep in mind Bongfeld is a good sized mw... He dwarfs shane. Again, I think shane will win because I believe his wrestling technique is much better (I am a firm believer that not all wrestlers are created equal - kind of my reasoning in taking a risk on brenneman over rumble, same with not all bjj black belts are created equal), but I think it will be close and I won't be surprised if grants cut was good and he muscles shane around to a UD. Shane is pricey at -190 is all, I think this is gonna be a grinding, close match. GL man, I hope you're right I will be rooting for shane.Comment -
now that I am thinking about it, ts, you should go with whoever you like most and if you like someone outside of roller / neer / wiman, take them because I think these fights will be closer than people think. I'm almost regretting taking neer because I think its gonna be a grueling and ugly close fight, usually is between two well rounded journey men. GL!Comment -
grant has all the moves and hes tough as nails. roller is good but hes going to have his hands full.
i like neer tonight but its kinda pricey. i guess -250 -260ish is not that bad. i think he gets it done.Comment -
Round 3 - The fighters work jabs. Roller fakes an uppercut, but Grant makes him retreat with a left. They reset, and Roller misses with an uppercut. Grant a lands a nice right hand to the nose, but Roller shakes it off. Roller lands a nice overhand right elbow before shooting for a single leg. Grant puts his back against the cage, but Roller gets the takedown. Grant, though, slaps on a guillotine. It's deep. Roller escapes, but Grant immediately moves into an armbar. He starts to straighten it, and the ref calls it off. Roller never tapped, and he's pissed.
