Cain Velasquez (-800) vs. Antonio Silva (+550) 5 Rds. For the HW
Championship
Cain
is a well rounded and athletic HW. His
ability to mix his striking with his wrestling befuddles his opponents. Antonio Silva is outclassed in every aspect
of MMA vs Cain. Cain could win this
fight with his standup or take this to the ground and pummel Silva. Look for Cain Velasquez to finish Antonio
Silva in the 2nd rd via TKO/KO.
Top Play: 2 Star Prop bet Cain Velasquez by TKO/KO -250
Top Plays:
1
Star Over 1.5 Rds. Junior Dos Santos vs Mark Hunt (-140)- Both of these
fighters are dangerous strikers but both also have great chins. I am predicting Junior Dos Santos to win this
by decision and almost top played the prop Dos Santos by Dec. (+240) but I
figured this is the safer play. If Mark Hunt gasses in the later rounds Dos
Santos could possibly finish the fight.
½ Star
Mark Hunt (+380) Mark Hunt has been on a roll, he is a great striker with tons
of power. Hunt has been known to gas and
Dos Santos is the big favorite in this fight and he is the better grappler with
better cardio. Mark Hunt could hurt
Junior Dos Santos and finish him early, so this is almost a hedge play for the
Top Play listed above, but of course Mark could Hurt JDS early as Cain did and
finish the fight later or maybe even just bust JDS up for 3 rds and take a
decision. Again my prediction as you see
below is JDS by Dec but Mark Hunt is a live dog with that chin and power.
2
Star Glover Teixeria (-310)- Glover Teixeria is a looking like one of the top
LHW today. He is super well rounded and
is a finisher with a strong chin. Te
Huna has lots of power in his hands but he has a weak grappling game. Look for Glover Teixeria to get some
takedowns and eventually lock in a submission on James Te Huna. I feel like this is free money even though
you might think Te Huna is dangerous. I
feel Glover will fight smart and use his strengthens vs Te Huna’s weaknesses.
½ Star
Prop Bet Glover Teixeria by Submission +300
1
Star Over 2.5 Rds Maynard vs. Grant (-175)- Both of these fighters are well
rounded, strong chins and it should be a pretty competitive fight. Maynard has been looking for that knockout
shot on his opponents lately but if he tries that with Grant he might see Grant
landing more strikes. I see Maynard using his strong wrestling to
take this fight to the ground and control TJ Grant.
½ Star
Gray Maynard (-140)- Maynard is a great wrestler and solid striker. This line
keeps moving, Vegas brought Maynard out as a (-250) favorite and the money
keeps going on TJ Grant. I agree with
Vegas more so than where this line currently stands. I nearly want to pull the trigger and unload
a 3 star on this but we will play it safe as we have many plays tonight and bet
this smaller. I think this line movement
kind of has me a little caught off guard, maybe it is because TJ Grant finished
his last fight but that was against Chris Wiman who isn’t a very good defensive
striker.
½ Star
Mike Pyle (+145)- Mike Pyle is defiantly a live dog here. He can finish fights and is a battle tested
veteran of the sport. Rick Story is very
predictable he comes forward throwing wild punches and is easy to takedown even
though he is a solid offensive wrestler.
Pyle could finish this fight or he could out strike Story on his way to
a decision victory.
