OK boys and girls, lets get down to business. This is one of the most anticipated fights in as long as I can remember. I am definitely PUMPED for this one so lets go make some MONEY.
As for my FAVORITE FAVORITES, tonight there are 2.
1. Patrick Cote (-245) over Cung Le. Cote is younger and in better shape. The 40 year old Cung Le looks real good throwing all of his spin kicks, but Cote knows this and will be ready. Cote’s patience pays off and he gets the fight to the ground and finishes off Cung Le in the 3rd. 1 unit in the Cookie Jar!
2. Forrest Griffin (-290) over Tito Ortiz. Its time for Tito to start working on things again with Jenna Jameson. Forrest has the size and reach advantage, and Tito will get worn down in this one. I see this as a bit of a boring win for Forrest, unless Tito tries to open it up and go for the KO. Either way lay the 2.9 units here and give Tito a standing ovation in his swan song, even though it will be in losing fashion. Up 2 units going into the finale!
DOG OF THE NIGHT!!!
Yes, I’m sure you all see this coming. It’s shock the world time baby, Chael Sonnen (+250) over Anderson Silva. He did it once, and he’ll do it again (well sorta). Sonnen has Silva all hot and bothered by his comments and disrespect. He will use this strategy to frustrate Silva once again and get takedowns. The ground and pound will again be effective, but this time Sonnen will not get caught. Split decision goes to Sonnen and a 3rd and final fight between these 2 goes on the schedule. Add 2.5 units for a total of 4.5 on the night. Maybe part of me just wants to watch Sonnen talk smack about his next opponent.
