Josh Haynes (-135) Over Rory Singer (played the other day, it's around 150 to 160 now).
Agree with Jake here.

John Alessio (-145) Over Thiago Alves
Alessio took Diego Sanchez to a decision and actually looked pretty good and gave Diego a good test. Alessio has fought some great competition.

Other opinions, but not plays:
If I can find a prop, I may put a little on Tito-Ken to go the distance.

MacDonald may be the most live dog of the night and has fought and beaten quality guys (Gideon Ray, Joe Doerksen, Shannon Ritch and split with Bill Mahood; losses to Patrick Cote, Kalib Starnes, Shonie Carter, Marvin Eastman). He also lost to Matt Horwich via 1st Round Armbar, and Horwich's cornerman that night was none other than Ed Herman. MacDonald is mainly a submission guy. I think UFC has a lot invested in Ed Herman here so I can't pull the trigger.

Hamill-Petruzelli is probably the most unpredictable of the fights. Seth hasn't fought in 2.5 years since he beat Dan Severn. He has been oft-injured. However, Hamill's stand up is bad and needs a lot fo work.

Kendall Grove should easily win his fight. This other guy has fought tomato cans.

I've seen Petz fight in person and he's decent. I won't lay 380 with him though. DeSouza should also win.

That's BS. This fight is the best fight on the card. It should be like the 2nd fight on the TV show IMO.

It may be shown though if we have some early fights get ended quickly.

I would have Ken-Tito in Main Event obviously.
I would have Grove and Herman's fights on the show as well as Hamill's as the first fight.

I thought they would squeeze in Alessio on the main card, but he's the second prelim. The prelims start at 6 PM, so I am looking at the PBP on Sherdog.

I'm on two favs and the first fight of the night goes to the dog. Marcus Davis guillotine choke on Petz with 2 secs left in 1st Round.

HD glad to see your stuff and your interest in an incredible sport.

I don't like Chubby Haynes over Singer but I do like Hammil over Seth Petrwhatever... Hammil will be a different fighter after his time with Tito getting ready for this one.

gl, didn't see anything of value in this event. Singer has the advantage with better ground skills and height.

Boy, this is my lucky day. I lose both fights I wagered on, but Olympic still had the prelims up after they were off. I didn't think they would pay out, but they did. The Davis-Petz fight was over. They still had it up and Davis was +300, so I put 7 units on it and got paid!!!!!! BOOYAH!

Alessio got killed with leg kicks and Haynes almost had Singer beat in Round 2, but couldn't finish. I thought Haynes had the edge b/c he trains with better fighters (Team Quest).

GOOD CALL - just wish I found this quick enough to get action before MacDonald did this guy in so quick.

I tried to get on Macdonald, but my book pulled it before I could confirm.

Nice call though.

Thanks guys. Finished with a profit due to the Olympic snafu. I'll keep an eye on it for future fights. MacDonald looked like he was for real. Dana better start finding better stepping stones for these Ultimate Fighter guys.

Thanks to Ken and Tito for actually being men about it and showing class! I would actually like to see Ken fight Royce Gracie as his retirement fight since they fought on UFC 1.

You got paid on a past post. I highly doubt it bro. Good luck on the fourteenth who do you like?

I actually did get paid on that fight. I was checking the PBP on Sherdog and Olympic had it up. Let's keep this on the DL and see if I can get lucky again.
