I'll be doing some stuff, but I'll be back for the main card. Justin Baesman replaced Sam Oropeza, and I believe that while Baesman is not on Koreshkov's level, he has the wrestling advantage here and might be able to get Koreshkov down. If the late replacement line is released on Bookmaker, I'll put a small bet on Baesman; 5dimes has the line at Koreshkov -2600 vs. Baesman +1200.

My small bets for action:

Warren/Silva u3½ +145 $5
Vasquez/Galvao u2½ +110 $5
Mucitelli/McGeary u1½ +150 $10

andrey ksdfjalskd is -2600 and -2400 on the two sites that have odds on him.

I don't think I've ever seen odds those bad in MMA.

It's cuz Koreshkov is Russian and Baesman took this fight on a days notice (after the other guy missed weight and had to pull out).

Just as I was replying to your message, Liam McGeary KO`ed Mucitelli in under a minute into the first round. So either way, I walk away with profit from this Bellator card, which isn't usually the case with this MMA organization.

that was a real brutal KO. wonder if his legs are ok, he fell funny

are there sites with vods of fights?
