Havent seen much talk about this fight. I think Sakara has the stand up edge and the cardio edge. Rivera was +245 against Nate Quarry. He lit Quarry up and now is a favorite against Sakara? I dont buy it, Quarry is stiff as a board and has always been easy to hit.
If this fight should play out on the feet as both have indicated, my only concern is Rivera catching Sakara's chin.
Both fighters are coming off injuries, Rivera a broken arm, Sakara an undisclosed injury. Anyone catch what that was? I have not been able to find apecifics. Sakara is younger and should get in fighting shape faster. Fighters break down in their late 30's, espicially when you have been fighting as ong as Rivera has.
Obviously +125 woud have been nice, but i still see value here.
Any opinion?
