STRIKEFORCE
Feijao at +200 over Hendo. 1u to win 2u
I've been watching Dan for years and he's one of the greats... but Cavalcante is a solid up and comer and I see him winning this with his TDD and solid striking. The public is on Hendo obviously b/c he's a bigger name and has tons of experience and wins, but he's finally slowing down and if he gasses in this one Feijao is going to pour it on. Training w/ Anderson and Blackhouse only makes me feel more confident with this dog play.
2-team parlay
Roger Bowling + Tim Kennedy. 1u to win .85u
Bowling is coming off a loss to a tough competitor in Voelker, but I think his wrestling and pressure he puts on is going to be too much for Thornburg, who is taking quite the step up. Liking Bowling to come back strong and win this one by TKO within 2. My Kennedy play is more of a testament to lost faith in Manhoef, who never seemed to evolve his ground game and has lost 4 of his last 6. Tim hung in there with Jacare and his sub game is pretty sharp. Manhoef may get a couple flashy shots in, but I see him getting taken down and tapping out in the 1st round here.
BELLATOR
Rick Hawn -150 1.5u to win 1u.
What can I say... I've been impressed with this guy for a while now. An olympian Judoka who is undefeated and finished 7 out of his 9 opponents. Now I realize that Judo Jim has won 8 in a row and has fought a couple of solid guys, including Siver. However, there is a reason he never made it to a big show after 26 pro fights. Bellator is known for showcasing their stars and giving them guys they can beat. Hawn is a future star in the making and I see him getting the TKO win here.
*Trainwreck play* (bodog) 1.4 u to win 1u
Charlie Sheen at -140 to get over 2.4 million twitter followers by March 7th at 9pm ET. This guy is a complete wreck right now and everyone is talking about him. Hell, I can't get away from him on the news, radio, etc. He already has almost 1.5 million followers since creating his account on March 1st and got over 900k followers in the 1st 24 hours. 2.4 million followers looks like a sure thing at this point. But I won't call it a lock.
Best of luck with whoever you're taking this weekend guys!
