I'm on vacation on Maui, so I unfortunately won't be putting a ton of research into this, but I'll add my 2 cents...
Diaz/Henderson - I made a small play on Diaz a couple months ago at +130. Should be very close. I don't think Bendo can finish Diaz in any fashion, but could grind out a decision. I understand Henderson has been putting on more size, which is odd because he is already a big LW. Diaz is also a big LW so he will not be easy to push around. Diaz, however can also win a decision by out pointing with his superior standup. He can also finish the unsubmissable Benson on the ground, which I'd love to see
Rory/BJ - I like Rory, and have him in a couple parlays. I don't think Rory can finish BJ... perhaps if he gets in some serious GnP for a few rounds. If BJ can keep this standing, he can definitely finish Rory. In the end I just see Rory being too big and strong, and he should be able to dictate this fight stays on the ground
Gustafsson/Rua - Again, Rua can definitely win by KO, but I already have a couple Gust parlays goin. I expect Rua to be in below average shape again, even though he can easily go 3 rounds. Vs Vera, he had zero footwork, and was so slow and prodding. But having a good chin allowed him to withstand alot of punishment en route to victory. Gust will play it smart and win a decision
Brown/Swick - I think Swick gets the finsh, but it could be by KO or sub. I think he's too crafty to get caught by the also crafty (but less so) Brown
Stephens/Edwards - Stephens by KO. Lots to prove. should be a class better with more power
Albert/Jorgenson - I don't think Albert brings anything to the table that will stop Jorgenson or win him a decision. Jorgenson for sure
Easton/Assuncao - too close to call for me
Phan/Siver - Phan has been sneaky good, but Siver has to be a little better in the standup with way more power
Cruickshank/Martinez - Cruickshank
no comment on others at this point
Should be a beauty card!
