Ok MMA fans, I have been looking at this card for over a week. Several interesting matchups tonight, especially from the mindset of the degenerate gambler. First of all, this looks like a CHALK nite to me. For all you non-bettors, that means the favorites look to roll tonight. I usually like to pick 1 “Dog of the Night” and my 3 FAVORITE FAVORITES.
I see value in the following favorites tonight…..Let’s make some money!!
TJ Grant – Ok, not a lot of value here, but he is far superior to Prater in this one. At -460, its time to GRAB YOUR NUTS and pray Grant doesn’t get caught with a flying knee or something weird. This is an early one, so get to the window (or your offshore spot online) asap. Grant wins to put us up 1 unit on the day (unless the gambling gods aren’t with us on this night).
Donald Cerrone (-250) – Never bet against a Cowboy…seriously he keeps this on his feet, he is the better striker, and he wins a unanimous decision. Cowboy is 3 inches taller with a huge reach advantage. His only danger becomes if Stephens gets inside and can operate. Go with the Cowboy to be up 2 units.
MAIN EVENT – Poirier, Poirier, Poirier. Korean Zombie is a scary cool marketing name….and that’s about it. Poirier’s camp knows how to control this one, and he will win a Unanimous Decison for a 3 UNIT NIGHT!
DOG OF THE DAY
Jorge Lopez (+110) – Not really sure why he is the “Dog” in this fight. He is more powerful and explosive, and very dangerous to Amir Sadollah. Lots of value here so put a half a unit on Jorge and watch him go…
BOOM – The Cookie Crisper
