Went for Belfort over Franklin. Always liked Vitor. Training with the likes of Lyoto can only help him. Franklin likes to throw kicks and against someone with fast hands he may get caught

Also got Cole Miller - How is he the underdog

Plus small parlay of J Miller and Marshall

Just can't play the Santos/Mirko fight. Everytime I watch Mirko I think here it comes - LHK from Hell. Maybe we will never see it again in a big fight. How good is Santos v How much has Mirko Fallen over the years?

Tempted on Daley - maybe cos i'm british and I want us to have a top contender in the UFC. Striking wise he has a chance but his ground game is lacking and Kampman is solid in all areas. May have a small play.

Franklin -125 1unit (total of 2.5 on him)


I'm going with my own thoughts on this fights despite the line crashing down. Vitor has to prove something to me before I'll believe in him. KOing Lindland isn't that big of a deal to me. I'll stick with my belief that Rich is a very good fighter and HAS proved he belongs here. I may be wrong and Vitor may destroy him. If he does then I think this sets up a BIGGGG fight with Anderson or Nate the great.(heck I guess Hendo as well if he wins).

wasn`t it a catch weight fight?...

I dont believe there was any reason for this to be the case , pretty sure Franca just didnt make weight and told it before the weigh ins , maybe Tyson will get few extra dollars for taking the fight . No way he would weigh in at 155.5 if he knew it was a catchweight fight and Franca at 159 :mj07:

They said it was agreed to before hitting the scales so I think Griffin had a little green thrown his way.

Odds starting to creep back up on Franklin. I'm really hoping this extra little amount of weight helps zap Belfort. :shrug: I certainly isn't helping him any I know that.

i think franklin`s cautious style early in fights will serve him well here....belfort can overwhelm guys early(when he`s fresh) with his speed.....i don`t see franklin recklessly engaging with him....and the longer it goes,advantage franklin,imo...
