• Vitor Belfort > Luke Rockhold (I might lay a small bet on Vitor since he's plus money, then live bet after round 1.)
• Ronaldo Souza > Chris Camozzi (Submission)
• Rafael Dos Anjos > Evan Dunham (Decision)
• Rafael Natal > Joao Zeferino (ITD. I don't like what I've seen from Zeferino.)
• Nik Lentz > Hacran Dias (Decision)
• Francisco Trinaldo > Mike Rio (TKO)
• Gleison Tibau > John Cholish (TKO)
• Paulo Thiago > Michel Prazeres (TKO. I don't like what I've seen from Prazeres.)
• Yuri Alcantara > Iliarde Santos (Submission)
• Fabio Maldonado > Roger Hollett (TKO)
• John Lineker > Azamat Gashimov (Not 100% on this yet, as I haven't seen much of Gashimov yet. Lineker is identical in fight style to Francisco Rivera. This is Gashimov's first fight at Flyweight.)
• Chris Cariaso > Jussier Formiga (Decision)
• Lucas Martins > Jeremy Larsen (TKO)

Dos Anjos is sick but laying -188 seems ridiculous considering dunham beats some pretty decent opponents and probably is evenly matched on reach here (just a guess on the reach cuz hes mad tall and shit)
I think Dunham is probably an okay bet at that line. I like luke rockhold but its tuff betting against brazilians. also, whenever these guys flock over from strikeforce it seems like they all get killed by UFC brazilians

Belfort without roidz sux
I guess he's lucky then, cuz he's fighting in a location where he can still use his TRT and be wild and strong. He won't be granted a license anymore in Las Vegas, which means California will probably deny him too.
This is semi recent news. The Las Vegas athletic commission won't grant a TRT exemption to fighters who were popped for steroids in the past.
Vitor recently admitted to using TRT but never mentions his use of steroids.
Hacran Dias is really fucking good, you really think Lentz can lay/pray him?

Rockhold is going to destroy Belfort
Also excited to see Jacare - hoping for some crazy submission

I dunno I haven't seen a lot of Rockhold fights, but from what I remember he had his hands full striking with Jacare, who dropped him once or twice. He won that fight by doing a bunch of fancy kicks that did little to no damage but put in lots of volume against a gassed Jacare.
Seems like if he had problems with Jacares striking, Vitor should blast him into oblivion. I think Rockholds really only advantage his cardio and it being 5 rounds.
Super simplistic view because I've only seen Rockhold fight twice, but with my limited info that's my take on it.
Also TRT Belfort has looked like a beast. He showed no signs of slowing down against Bisping.
Hey Im slinging mad volume and fat stackin benjies I dont got time for spellin n shit - skinny pete

I remember the Rockhold/Jacare fight being close. I think Vitor has the edge here, since he's on TRT and is fighting in Brazil, where he's more famous than Anderson iirc. I think in terms of fame in Brazil, Anderson is behind Wanderlei/Vitor/Big Nog, iirc.
Luke could win the fight, which is why I'm gonna live bet after round 1. I'm just sick of betting against Vitor and he wins early in the fight.
Also, Luke only has 2 TKO's in his 11 fights. One of the TKO's was against Keith "Glass" Jawdine, and the other was against some random fighter. He does have 6 submission wins, but those were against random guys, and Vitor has only been submitted 1 time since 2005, which was against Jon Jones, who muscled that submission against a fading Vitor.
Anyway, I don't really give a shit who wins this fight, I'm just trying to avoid losing money. I like them about the same. If it goes to a decision, I wouldn't be surprised to see Vitor win it, but I don't think this fight will get past round 3.
really excited for dos anjos. think hes a bet. they are similar fighters, but RDA is just slightly better everywhere and i dont think dunham has good upset tools for this fight and think skill wins out a high %.
also think rockhold beats belfort. hes just a superior fighter. belfort is really dangerous so id never lay a big line against him, but a line about even i feel good about

Yesterday, I took Dos Anjos by decision at +125.
I don't see Dunham winning this unless he can get the submission, which is kind of funny cuz Dunham's submission prop was at +3000 yesterday, pretty crazy.

not really, they are seen more like a legends, and maybe the old mma fans like them more
but definitely Anderson Silva is much more famous
for now im betting Souza ITD, his last fights he fought very agressive, this fight been a huge missmatch I think he KO or Submit really quick, thinking about betting under 1.5 rounds, but not sure
Rockhold by decision is much much much better than Rockhold straight win, but still thinking about that
Dont listen to anything I say

more on this: i think this was true before the vitor fight. since then anderson has really blown up in brazil. one way to tell is twitter followers:
what really made AS explode here and probably burker king as well was his burger king commercial lol
they ran a promotion if you spoke with a soft voice you would get a free ice cream with any order (something like that) was pretty funny
but ya AS is by far the most famous
