I was going to bet on Peter Graham, now I have 2nd thought...lol. Likely betting 1½ unit on it, haven't decide which fighter yet.
Don't throw away your money on Graham. He is definitely in the top 5 of worst ever heavy weights to enter the Bellator cage. Mighty Mo is better everywhere. Based on his last fight and recent interviews, he has really enjoying the grappling part of the game. Despite his K1 experience, he actually had some solid wrestling credentials in his youth. I expect a repeat of his performance against Ron Sparks.

Can you tell us a little bit about your hammer play. Is it more liking Ivanov or disliking Hale?
I just watched Ivanov/Berry. Guy looks just ok.
With you on Martinez!
Hale flat out sucks! Glass jaw, poor striking defence, too small for heavy weight, etc.
However, the play is Ivanov not just because he is fighting a complete can in Hale, but because he is probably the best heavy weight to ever fight in Bellator, and would probably make a lot of noise if he was in the UFC.
There is no doubt in my mind that Ivanov would already be the Bellator champion if it were not for him being on the receiving end of a near life ending stabbing a few years back. He has already had 2 fights back with Bellator since then (both 1st round sub wins) and is now ready to show the world why there was/is so much hype about him. His striking technique is very solid, great submissions + sambo background allows him to dictate where the fight will take place. He is comfortable fighting on the ground or keeping it standing. I will be absolutely stunned if he did not win the tournament, let alone this fight!!! The huge jump in the line today would indicate that most agree!

I have the same bet & close to same amount as you except the Graham vs Mighty Mo. I just don't like Mighty Mo age & size, I think this fight is lot closer than you think.
I just hope our big play on the Russian pulls thru. I just didn't like the way he getting tag by Keith Bell like that but Hale is a flake on the ground, so hopefully the Russian fight smart & not testing his striking too much like last fight.

Awesome, good luck MR. I wasn't going to play Lavar but +135 was too appealing, and he sounds pretty focused. Totally agree with your thoughts on Hale!

Well, it definitely was not pretty, but the big play on Ivanov cashes. That was definitely the worst he's ever looked! He will have a lot of work to do if he wants to win this tournament.

Overall, the plays went 3-2 for +4 units. The way the Ryan Martinez fighted ended was very disappointing. One small error let Johnson get back up. Oh well...
Here is the recap:
1. Blagoi Ivanov
2. Ryan Martinez
3. Siala Siliga
4. Mark Holata / Alexander Volkov over 1.5 rounds
5. Anthony Leond / Eduardo Dantos under 2.5 rounds . One of the best submissions I can remember in a very long time!!!
