Strikeforce Melendez vs Masvidal

Crassus · Dec 13, 2011

Any ideas on this one? It seems like everyone is going to come out pretty big favorites (still no odds on Bodog or Sportsbook.) I feel like if Melendez is a less then -300 he's a solid bet.

Anything under -400 for Cyborg is a solid bet as well.

I think the real pick'em fights is Noons vs Evangalista and Mousasi vs OSP.
Does anyone know much about Evangalista? I only saw him get picked apart by Masvidal but then again that was the last I saw from KJ Noons as well so I'm torn on that one.

For OSP-Mousasi it's all down to whether or not Mousasi has intelligently trained TDD or not. If he has then we're talking 2nd round (T)KO but if not he loses the decision 30-27 for sure.

Melendez is -310 on dimes. Was as high at -400. I think Melendez is hitting a whole new level in his career. But I think Masvidal is a real tough guy. I most likely won't look to play this. I might throw Melendez in a parlay if he gets lower.

I doubt Cyborg will be anything less than -600. Most likely more like -1000 by fight time. But I have no clue about women's MMA. I'm not that familiar with who she is fighting, But I would throw her in a parlay without hesitation. Lady Cyborg isn't losing.

Evangalista is a muay thai artist. He is crazy aggressive. Should be a nice little stand up fight. Could go either way in my opinion. Noons has better cardio.

I think Mousasi is vastly overrated and don't trust him a bit. Would depend on what those odds were. I expect him do be a decent favorite.

Yeah, Lady Cyborg isn't being beaten by anyone not named Ronda Rousey. I'd take melendez at -400 come to think of it, I think he's on another level right now.
Muay Thai vs Classic Boxing/MMA mix...hmm, that's a tough call. I'll have to watch some tape on Evangalista.
