#1 Posted: 5/2/2012 6:38:20 PM Palhares is a beast, but I think Belcher is a better grappler than he's given credit for.
On the feet, Belcher is better and the longer / taller fighter. I see Palhares trying desperately to get it to the ground and Belcher trying desperately to keep it on the feet.
I don't think Belcher will kick much, as it opens up the takedown for Palhares. I see Belcher moving and avoiding some tough spots and scrambles and pulling out a judges decision.
Belcher +240

#2 Posted: 5/2/2012 8:46:42 PM  .....i think belcher is in for about a year long vacation rehabbing his knee....i will admit those are some pretty good odds....if he keeps it upright you have a good chance to cash |

Palhares pounded the crap outta Dan Miller, he only survived because it's impossible to finish that dude. Belcher's been TKO'd twice and Palhares has big power.

I like the value in the bet, if Palhares decides to pounded on Belcher, but Palhares will likely go for the sub, if he doesn't get it, he's might get stopped himself, but your bet is solid if Palhares takes a safe, ground and pound approach. |

As far as competition, they've both beat, I think belcher has beaten better guys. Dan miller is the only notable for palhares. Subbin drawl, massenzio and branch are not huge accomplishments. Plus palhares packed it in vs marquart |

You among others are underestimating Palhares' wrestling and overall TD skills. He has very solid TDs and last I recall Belcher doesn't have the greatest TDD. A guy with good wrestling and great BJJ along with strength is no one tick pony.
That said at these odds I think Belcher is a steal. I pick Palhares but I wouldn't of thought it would be at these odds.

I believe what he means by one trick pony is that everyone knows that Palhares has to get the fight to the mat to win. He's an amazing grappler, but his game plan is easy to figure out, but hard to stop so far. |
