Ok, so here is an event I am ready to bet on. I am going with all up sets. But I will not be betting on the main even. Silva is not small 205. He destroyed Franklin twice, who is way better on his feet than Irvin and not any smaller.
Franca over Edgar: I am not sure why Franca is an underdog here. He might not have fought in a while, but he has heavy heavy hands and a perfect ground game. If Edgar brings him to the ground he will be in trouble. I really like Edgar, but he is out matched here.
Taylor over Dollaway: Taylor is stronger and he is the better wrestler. He is also very hard to submit. The only place I can see Dollaway winning the battle is on the feet, but Taylor will get the fight on the ground and pound it out. As an upset Taylor is a no brainer.
No other fights really call for any bets. Hope you enjoy the event. I know I will.
Hi Mate,
i was waiting for your picks. I too liked JT over dollaway until i read that dollaway and jt wrestled twice before with dollaway getting the nod both times.
What are your thought on that and how it impacts the fight?
Other than that i am on barnett large and am waiting for the new paul and goodridge odds. If they are decent i will be on paul as well.

What's up will, thank you for commenting. As a wrestler, I csn say that jt will be better off in mma. He will be stronger in the clinch and because of striking dollaway will not be able to take the same shot. As for paul, he is a beast and a good pick, but I am laying on all my money on jt and franca
