I like them both, Ive been high on Teixera and made $ on him when he fought Rampage, I think he was about -250 there.  Hes much better on the ground than Te Huna and I think he takes the smart approach and takes this fight down for a submission

Dos Santos and Teixiera can make their fights alot simpler but taking their opponents to the ground.  That said, those are 2 proud men who like to stand and throw lumber.  I dont see how either one possibly loses if they get Hunt and TeHuna to the ground.  No sense is standing up for 3 full rounds with heavy punchers like those guys who suck at wrestling.

This is the 3rd or 4th time I have heard someone say that JDS should just take Hunt down.  I mean, if I compare their last year of fights I am more impressed with Hunts ground game than I am JDS's tbh.  I know he is supposed to be a blue or purple belt under the Nog Bro's but I have never seen n e thing to tell me that.  I have at least seen Hunt sweep and move correctly.

As for the original question.  I love the Glover play, I may make it a huge play myself...  as for the Russian, I need to look into a tad more.  If dude was able to take Marcus down in the fight before he may have a clear cut adv in wrestling.  If that's the case I don't like the fight as much as I would have originally.

You are impressed with Hunt's ground game... Against ground wizards like Struve and Kongo? Lmao. Hunts wrestling is crap. JDS doesn't aid fights to the ground because he's the best boxer-athlete in the division so he hasn't had to bother. However he has to respect Hunt's power so he may want to employ some BJJ here.

GLOVER TEIXERA -280  & NURMAGOMEDOV -305 are both great picks, I think. Consider a parlay with both cause it is a lot of juice to lay down on each fighter. But if you got the $$$ go for it.

JDS is a blackbelt, but he never utilizes it so we really don't know how great of a blackbelt he is. Neither Hunt or JDS looked too impressive on the ground, but Hunt did survive with Struve who has submitted many folks on the ground. But MMA math does not always add up.

Texeira should take it to the ground to limit Te Huna's chances.

I've seen the line at -300 on some sites and -270. I usually like to wait for the weigh-ins to place bets. I usually like to see how the guy looks (dehydrated, lean, soft, etc). After watching Overeem at his last weigh in I jumped on the Silva bandwagon.

Kneeunthaface, I love the Joey Diaz pic, MF Joey Karate!

I hope you moneyline and parlay both of them!
