ben saunders will be taken down in this fight, he'll also get the finish inside the distance by sub or ko, you can't just not bet a fighter becuase he can get taken down when there is drastic skill advantages and your getting nearly even money, i knew cain could takedown werdum, i knew mendes would take down mcgregor, saunders is worlds better on the feet and better on the ground. your getting great odds becuase of saunders lack of takedown defense, if he had even decent takedown defense the odds would be stupid high for this fight, bet him inside the distance to get him at Plus money.
andrew holbrook should win, but its on 2 weeks notice, was hoping for +200 or round abouts, but at these odds, its a pass for me.
Look at jessica eyes comp she's faced, its easy to look good standing, her takedown defense is horrible though, and she doesn't have the striking power to hurt tate in any shape or form, she'll lose a decision at best, but more likely she'll be submitted before the final bell rings, there isnt any advantage she holds over tate, none, this is a steal at -200. Tate will batter her with punches on the feet, and bewilder with sub attempts on the ground, in a way it is similar to the lietes/bisping fight on the feet, but Tate has taken down great wrestlers before and eye has zero takedown defense, Tate is active on the ground. This is a big jump up in comp for eye, and a stylistic mismatch.
