If I were betting on 3 guys it would be Tito, Jardine and Yoshida as they're underdogs with at least a 50% chance of winning. Since you're not interested in Tito,
Silva v Jardine = 50/50
I actually think Silva will win this one but would reccommend a bet on Jardine. Even thinking Silva will win the fight is 50/50. Silva's on a downward spiral and headed to the MW division while Jardine has recently beaten Chuck Liddell who Silva lost to and Forrest Griffin who's getting a title shot. Worries would be Jardine getting bum rushed like Alexander did him. He's lost 2 via quick KO and Silva comes out aggressive. But if Jardine can keep some distance, work his reach, he could take away Silva's aggressiveness with his legs kicks taking it to a Unanimous Decision. Jardine being such an underdog in a 50/50 fight is what makes this a good bet.
Sokodoujou v Nakamura = 50/50
Not sure who'll win this one. Nakamura is a HUGE underdog going against a guy who might be a 2 hit wonder. No doubt Soko hits hard but watch the Arona/Nog fights. I think they both last about 2 mins together. The only thing he proved in those fights was he can win against anyone with a quick KO. Houston Alexander has proved the same thing. Doesn't mean they're a star. Kazuhiro is a legit top 25 LHW with the ability to take and keep Soko on the ground. It was less than 2 years ago Soko went to a split decision with Gary Padilla. Do you know who Gary Padilla is? Most people don't for a reason.
Salavarry v Palharas = 60/40
Though I see Salaverry winning this fight just because he's the proven talent, Palharas is an untested prospect and I hear Salaverry is talking retirement. Could mean he's not at his peak.
Clementi v Etim = 65/35
Wouldn't be my first recommendation for a bet as the odds favor the guys in about the chances of them winning. If you want a more sure thing, consider Clementi.
Kim v Tan = 60/40 (1st KO)
Again if your looking for a more "for sure" bet take Kim though the odds aren't going to pay much.
Yoshida v Koppenhaver = 70/30
This would be the one I'd bet on 1st. Yoshida's become the underdog in this one because Koppenhaver had a war with J-Rock which he wasn't expected to win and barely did. That's a striking war with Rollins, a well rounded guy who's not specifically a striker. Yoshida is a striker who's been beating better fighters than Koppenhaver, Rollins and anyone either of thems ever faced. Though in a striking war like this one anything can happen this is by far my highest recommendation for a bet.
Carwin v Wellisch = 60/40
Carwin's an untested monster who's been devouring his unskilled opponents. Wellisch is his 1st proven opponent. Though not UFC talent worthy Wellisch seems to be the standard at the bottom rung of the weak UFC HW division. It's hard to say if the untested Carwin can pass the UFC minimum but with the impressive fashion he's beaten his umipressive opponents I'm thinking he's a prodigy and not another 1 shot UFC wonder.
