Well here we find ourselves in Brazil again with a not so PPV Card, and not knowing what to expect with some of these fights. It's been hard to bet against the Brazilians on these cards, and some of these match ups have some pitted against each other. I'm not in love with anything on this card, so it will be a night of small wagers and just having some fun enjoying watching the sport I love. Here we go...
Single Wagers
Phil Davis +300 .30 units to win .90 units
-----Yes, I know Machida has kept his distance and gained victories in match ups with great wrestlers such as Ryan Bader, Couture, and Hendo, but I do see value here at +300 on Davis. I for sure don't think Machida warrants laying almost -300. The main concerns I have is that Davis gets frustrated with Machida striking and evading, and not being able to counter back and try some take downs, which is also no easy task against Machida with his great TDD. However, Davis can hopefully at least establish a jab with his reach advantage and be able to shoot in for a take down or scoop up Machida off the cage for one. If Davis can somehow create some take downs, he could very well grind out a decision, or possibly shock with a submission. If he can't,then this could very well be a long night for him a Machida could score with strikes and possibly even finish. Also, we could be in for a boring fight if Davis can get this to the ground as he will definitely want to keep the fight there if it happens. I'll take my chances here that Davis can counter with some punches and score a few take downs for the W.
Tom Watson 135 .25 units to win .34 units
----Going against the Brazilian here although that as stated before seems to be a disaster on Brazil cards. Hope Watson can allude the TDs and keep this standing and pick apart Leites.
Cezar Ferreira/Thiago Santos Under 1.5 +110 .20 units to win .22 units
Parlays
3 Team .50 to win .64 units
Aldo
Yahya
Nunes/Gaff Under 2.5
6 Teamer .25 units to win 1.10 units
Aldo
Ferreira
Lineker
Malgahaes
Moraes
Andrade (scares me the most)
Good luck and enjoy the fights. Enjoy the rest of the weekend...
