Not sure about his opponent but always look forward to watching Diakiese fight. I also was excited for Glover vs. Latifi but of course an injury screwed that fight up. Hard to get a read on Shogun when he fights once a year but i would definitely lean Smith here.

Serious line movement on Anderson now down to (+135), guess people expect him to look like Phil Davis did against Teixeira.

That is shocking...I really like Glover @ -160. Anderson has been KO'd by the hitters he's faced and that Davis fight was years ago. Maybe Tex is too old and will get blanketed for 3 rounds but I don't see it

Anderson has been improving and will have the youth, but Teixeira still has the power to crack Anderson's questionable chin. I'm assuming the line movement is people expecting Teixeira's age to really show.

Stasiak vs. Liu

After some digging, I was able to find some more recent tape of Pingyuan Liu. He is always looking for the finish, and his game plan is fairly simple as he pushes opponents back against the cage with aggressive striking while looking for a takedown, where when the fight goes to the ground he is constantly looking for submissions. Liu's last fight lasted all of about 5 seconds as he knocked his opponent out cold with a left hook, although I'm not sure why the tale of the tape before the fight showed Liu's record as 7-0.

Stasiak is coming off of two tough losses, the last of which ended with Kelleher knocking him out in the third round after a beating. Assuming Stasiak has recovered from the losses mentally, this is very much a fight he can win. He will look to clinch as soon as possible and take the fight to the ground where he is patient in looking for an opening to lock in a submission. 

Although you can expect Liu to come out firing early and often, similar to the way Kelleher was able to break down Stasiak, Damian will likely duck under Liu's wild strikes and clinch, at which point his grappling should be superior and he will look for a takedown. Even if Liu manages a takedown, Stasiak has shown to be crafty in scrambling to a dominant position. To add to his superior grappling, Stasiak should also have the better Jiu Jitsu and will look to use that to finish the fight.

Liu's level of opposition has been abysmal, and I'm looking for Stasiak to avoid Liu's power and use his crafty grappling to lead to a submission win.

Damian Stasiak (-110)

an_brick        UFC decisions have been shit lately...... Seems like the refs are fading out anyone who likes to just take people down and not do much ground and pound.

Had rounds 1 and 2 for Stasiak, that unanimous decision is crazy.

Wtf judge gave Liu 30-27... Stasiak had a takedown and top control and rode  him for over 3 minutes in the first. ??

How one of the judges gave a 30-27 is beyond me.
