Tony Gravely +100......................1 unit -This really is a pick em fight, although I don't like the line movement from fave to dog (most likely due to Johns UFC experience). Gravely has high level wrestling and some KO power in his hands, Johns has decent jitz and can scramble. As long as Tony can control him in the wrestling, and doesn't get caught in a sub, I think he wins, possibly ITD. I've watched Gravely grow up over the years on the East Coast Circuit, and there couldn't be a better guy to represent the sport. Hopefully he showcases his full arsenal tonight as his wrestling is beautiful to watch when he's on. He has cardio for days, hoping the big stage doesn't get to him as well, but I don't think it will...If you'd like to fade this, I'd play Johns, and Johns by sub +350 small.
Michael Chiesa +200.....................0.5 unit -Just think Chiesa is a nice pick at these odds. He's gotta legit top and sub game, so he either normally gets the W somehow by sub, or gets subbed himself trying to do it...RDA has a solid all around game as well, but i don't see it as a lock as I keep seeming to hear...Like Chiesa by sub +625 as well. If you wanna fade these small, I'd play RDA wins ITD +190.
Curtis Blaydes wins ITD -125.....................0.5 unit
Gonna try to be back and post small plays throughout the fight night most likely...Good luck and enjoy the fights!
