Like Freire at +120

Better striker and the stronger fighter. Pellegrino is the better wrestler and will want this on the ground. I think Freire turns this in to a boxing fight

 

[kickserv]

The Patricky Freire line has moved more then King Kong Bundy in a Hula Hoop...........lots of movement:scared

 

[gardenweasel]

grabbed freire at +145 back on nov 1st....also taking a shot with dantas at +180(sportsbook)....

heard that dantas opened around +300(probably bodog)...bodog offers some nice stuff...

pellegrino`s wrestling and homecourt advantage make it a tough nut to crack,but worth a shot...

was also looking at huerta moving up in weight to fight kopenhaver(war machine)...both guys off for about a year....curious to see huerta at 170...

g.l....

I looked at the Dantas fight long and hard. Vila is a beast - awesome wrestling and huge power in his hands. But...and this a big BUT.... he is 40

Dantas is 22 and 6 inches taller and solid in the stand up and good on the ground (if this is on the ground he will be on the bottom because I can not see him taking down Vila.

That 18 year difference could well be the difference

Added Marcin Held

Very impressed with this kid. Only 19. The loss to Chandler is nothing to be ashamed off. He came close with a kneebar in that fight. His other loss is to undefeated Lukasz Sajewski.

Nover has not set the world on fire. His win over Joe Duarte on TUF was impressive but I think he falls via decision to Held.

So plays

Freire and Held

So far im on

Santos-225 This is about the most juice Im comfortable laying on this fight,I think its up yo -235 and I was a little weary of the line I got.

Dantas +170 Vila was very inactive last fight. I heard he had the flu.Did he have the flu or is he a 40 year old thats fighting to often?

Freire +130 I think hes just the better fighter at this time and the line has moved accordingly

Still waiting on the Held/Nover line at my book grr.

I enjoyed the Held fight.
