Send me $50 for saving you the money with this advice:
You should not be betting on MMA if you wait until the day before the fights. The lines will be adjusted by then.

+575 on mendes is also decent imo. Drop like 10-20$ on that. I feel Thiago caught alota hype after beating Houston Alexander and thats why the line is out there. Mendes isn't exactly a can.

Palhares is good, he seems a little small for MW, but he is compact and strong. Look for the fight with Ivan to go to the ground (neither are that proficient of strikers), and coming out of BTT Palhares is a beast on the ground. Ivan is long and lean, and I see Palhares grabbing hold of one of his legs early, and getting a quick leg lock. Ivan just doesn't seem into MMA anymore, and Palhares is not a guy you can half-ass it against.

Rameau Sokoudjou vs Kazuhiro Nakamura
Rich Clementi vs Terry Etim
Ivan Salaverry vs Rousimar Palhares
Jon Koppenhaver vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Dong Hyun Kim vs Jason Tan

Winner and short write up how you think the fight will play out .
Id take Reljic! Extremly well rounded fighter! Alot of people question his ground game, but he is very well versed on the ground training with the Nogs.. I like his stand up as well... Another point is he has a point to prove and this kid is on a mission.. Big things will come from him.. Id take this one forsure! Another pick is Soku.. He had his bad showing where it was clear the nerves got the better of him.. This guy has been praised by Quest as just being a beast.. He gonna show the fans that last fight was a fluke! Then Clementi... I'll be happy to take the 50
