UFC 157

Lyoto Machida (-240) vs. Dan Henderson (+200)
Machida is an elusive counter striker, with a great overall game.  Machida’s weakness is probably his chin.  Henderson has an aggressive striker with a solid wrestling game and granite chin.  This fight should be closer to a coin toss and maybe the way styles are concerned I feel Hendo is the slight favorite.  Look for Dan Henderson to close the distance and try to turn this into a brawl.  Henderson will even look to push Machida against the cage and wear him down.  Look for Henderson to take this by 2nd Rd TKO or possibly UD.  Take Dan Henderson (+200).

Top Play:  2 Star Dan Henderson (+200)

Top Plays with Short Write Ups
1 Star Urijah Faber by Decision prop (+105)- Look for Faber to grind this one out vs the dangerous Menjivar.

1 Star Over 2.5 Rds Koscheck vs Lawler (-155)- Kos will look to use his wrestling more in this fight than his previous fights with wrestlers as of late.   Lawler has powerful striking but avg to below avg grappling.  Look for Kos to control this fight on the ground and using fence work to take the UD.

Top Parlays
1 Star Josh Koscheck; Urijah Faber; Court McGee (+105)
1 Star Mike Chiesa; Dennis Bermudez (-115)
