Three fights. . . Hmm. . .

Barnett over Rogers
Guillard over Roller
Bader over Ortiz (but I'm not taking Bader at that line)

[poopoo333]

For me:

Barnett over Rogers
Edgar over Maynard
Brenneman over Grant

[MMA_scientist]

Carwin over Einemo
Barao over Escobedo
Grispi over Roop

I got alot of other ones, but those are the first 3 I saw that I consider near locks.

Whoever they get to fight Cormier is also guaranteed to lose (unless they throw him in the tourney)

[SPX]

Edgar over Maynard, PP?

I have money on Edgar, but considering Maynard has beat Edgar once and took him to a draw the second time, I really think it could go either way. Seems odd you'd pick it as one of three fights you're most confident in when you have like 150 to choose from.

[MMA_scientist]

Agreed. Edgar may win, but to have more confidence in that than some of these fights that are going to be -500...

What are your other ones? Also, why Barao? I haven't looked at that fight yet "in depth", but I remember when that fight was announced I thought Barao would win from being the better grappler. I still gotta look at it more though

I will get back to you next week... I haven't even looked at the cards much yet. Barao is a bad ass and Escovedo is a middling fighter, an actual step down from the last two guys Barao beat IMO.

Dave Branch vs Jeremy May co-headlines Shark Fights 15

LOL

My entire bankroll on Branch.

[MMA_scientist]

If we get a line on that, I will have to break my "no Shark Fights" rule. It is literally impossible for May to beat Branch.

[SPX]

It is literally impossible for May to beat Branch.

This is what I'm thinking. Branch should be good all the way up to -500 (and beyond, but I almost never take anyone above -500).

The fight's a co-headliner, so we should get a line. The only reason we wouldn't would be if they just don't offer any lines at all for the event, but Shark Fights pretty much always get lines.

Fucking shark fights.

Do you know a lot about May? I don't know much, I just looked up his record.

[sbjj]

Overeem over Werdum
Jorgenson over Stone
Weidman over Bongfeldt
Barnett over Rogers
Poirier over Young
Guillard over Roller
Koch over Swanson
McDonald over Cariaso

Nice lines I see right now...Dos Antos over Lesnar and Cruz over Faber.

MFC Welterweight Champion Douglas Lima Signs With Bellator

[SPX]

Do you know a lot about May? I don't know much, I just looked up his record.

He was on TUF a few seasons back, and he was a terrible fighter. I haven't heard much about him since the show, but looking at his record, it looks like he's kept moving forward with his medicore-at-best ways.

Scientist is right, Branch should massacre him. I bet it doesn't even get out of the first round.
