I'm surprised Gunnar is a dog vs Thatch

Brown and Means might be fight of the Night on a great card. Means will have a nice reach adv but Instill like Brown here

Thatch wins if the fight stays on the feet Gunni if it hits the mat. I think it hits the mat at some pt and Gunnar gets the finish

What scares me about Nelson is he was out struck 211-54 by Story. I agree if it hits the ground Nelson could have a field day.

I like the Dirty Bird here, kinda short line for a Top 5 fighter. I think Brown has peaked while Means has found his groove like Brown did two years ago.

I like Means but He hasn't fought anyone like Briwn yet

Gunnar has to get the fight to the mat. I think he can

McG has a lot to lose. I think Mendes will beat him. Then Mendes will fight Aldo. Unless they line McG up with a chump, He will have to fight Frankie. And I think Frankie beats him.

I really don't know enough about Thatch. But he still an MMA prospect. Gunnar is a little further along and has proven himself more

Any thoughts on what the Rory Lawler line will do?

I have to think it will get more level. I like Rory, but I think it will be close and will be a decision

I like Rory Sawman. I'm not worried about the line at all.

Thoughts on the Mendes McG line?

I figure at some point some heavy Mendes $ has to come in. I'm thinking of jumping on the +130. It's been all McG getting bet so far

A few thoughts:

Mendes/McG - I will give McG a lot of credit for getting people interested in his fights. I don't know whether to welcome the next big thing or can't wait to see someone rip his head off. I'm glad he has to fight a wrestler. Maybe he dismantles Mendes quickly like everyone else. But I don't think so. Mendes had no problem standing and exchanging with Aldo, who is just as diverse and dynamic. He did get tagged and hurt a couple times, but always weathered. And he has, if not a cardio/stamina advantage, the experience of going deep. Which Mendes has to do to win this fight. The dynamic that McG brings is the spiny leg kick stuff coming from all directions. I also noticed in rewetting some fights, he gets hit but not hurt. I think everyone knows, it all comes down to whether or not Mendes can secure any TDs. He couldn't hold Aldo down, although he is the cream of the crop. And while McG has been taken down regularly, he has not been kept down. I will likely bet Mendes, possibly just hoping he can shut McG's yapper for a while. But I would not be surprised at all if McG takes him out inside 2 like everyone else.

Rory/Lawler - I have not been as quick as most to jump on Rory, and I still think that the lines gets more level at some point. Lawler has been in some great battles with Hendricks - hard for 5 full. And he (narrowly) beat Rory already. I think Rory wins a dec but he has his hands full.

Means/Brown - FOTN. These two will go at it! Means will have a massive reach adv, but I think Brown is a little better with technique and will win a dec

Gunnar/Thatch - Most seem to think Thatch is going to KO Gunnar rather quickly. It all comes down to the take down.

Stephens/Bermudez - This is another fight where it seems everyone is easily on Bermudez. I'm surprised the line isn't closer - They're pretty similar fighters 

Pendred/Howard - This is a stupid matchup. Howard is undersized. He's a fun fighter to watch. But they match him up with boring Pendred who's going to hold on to him for 3 rounds

Garcia/Swick - under

Mendes, Lawler, Nelson are three live dogs, but only one of them will win. I'm hoping if any its Nelson because Thatch is the smaller play.

I really like Gunnar and will likely double my bet. Gunnar absorbed a lot of damage vs Story and was game until the finish. Thatch will not have the TDD that Story has.

Ferrari, I'm a little confused. In one post you said you weren't worried about rory at all, then later included lawler as a live dog. Have I missed something or did u just maybe overemphasize your confidence in rory? PS.. No disrespect intended, just curious to hear more from you regarding this fight :)

Stephens looked a little frail I thought. Tough cut to 149 pds?
