    Ruthless Robbie +220 vs. Jacare

    Probably safer to take Robbie by KO/TKO and straddle some kind of Jacare by decision or sub. I for one despise Jacare, so I'd love to see Ruthless put him to sleep with one of his signature KO's. Dude has cinder blocks for hands. I'm going to be putting something down after the props open up.

    Thoughts?

    The fight will be on the ground immediately, negating anything any chance robbie would have.

    Well it might not even have to go to the ground. Didn't Shields sub him with a standing guillotine?

    Yeah, best bet is to straddle with a Lawler KO and a Jacare submission/decision.

    lawler has always struggled against good grapplers, and jacare is world class, and if he plays it smart he should be able to get a win pretty easy.

    I'll hazard a guess and say its because he is a dominant grappler. That usually gets you a healthy dose of hate. Not that its really called for mind you.

    Jacare is amazing

    Seems like a very bad match up stylisticly for Lawler. He is going to have to catch him, which he is very capable of doing, but Jacare is slick and IMO will have no problem getting him to the ground and subbing him. I will be rooting for a highlight reel Lawler KO, but would not put my money there.

    i think robbie might not be a bad choice. i might put a little on him at +220. there is definately value there.

    There's value in Robbie by TKO/KO. I don't see how you can straddle this one well when Jacare has many routes to victory.

    good point actually, i think robbie by tko might have much better value than just straight up.

    There's definitely value in Lawler because Jacare didn't look too great in his last fight...I mean he almost lost to some can named Tim CANnedy
