Currently on 5dimes we have
Story -125
Marquardt -115
Kongo -170
Barry +150
What are the picks here? Initially I thought I could get Story at better value. He opened at +140 and the line has went back and forth every hour. I like him to win. Marquardt hasn't been that impressive. I figure Alves is more dangerous, and is just as hard to get down, and Story won that fight going away. He has confidence right now. Alos it is Nate's first time at 170, who knows how strong he will be or how hard it was. Story is a tough guy, who can take him down and do well on the feet.
I would traditionally take Barry here at this price. But I have gotten off that train. He just isn't as aggressive as he should be. And he has shown no improvement with any sort of grappling. Look for Kongo to clinch and knee to the groin, and throw in a TD or 2. I think Kongo's size can keep most of the power shots away. I doubt Barry can leg kick to a win. Kongo clinches much less strikers against the cage, and he needs a win here.
