i'm all over Silva (are you kidding me) +175 and Kampmann -245.

I'm going to bet them straight and parlay both of them.

silva will win this fight.  He will rock Rashad standing up and don't underestimate his leg kicks, those will wear down rashad and Thiago will go in for the kill...

I will definitely be on Silva. Rashad will be looking for the "Revenge" factor, for Thiago destroying his boy Jardine, but Silva IMO is just better. This line should be closer IMO.

So I'm the only one that likes Evans huh?

I just think Silva has a rather weak chin and he is very slow on his feet. Rashad will be too fast and can take him down whenever he wants.

  Add more athletic and a corner with a better game plan!

The point is that this fight should be a pic...+175 is crazy value considering the only fight Silva has lost was to Machida..he has virtually destroyed every other opponent

I think evans is overrated and overhyped...he should have lost to ortiz, a washed up liddell was beating his ass before he was caught and the same with griffin-- he was losing to griffin before he caught him too...evans IS overrated and he's going up aganist a beast in silva....A BEAST.

That's my take...take the +175 and RUN.

I like Evans. I don't like him as much after looking over his resume. I thought it was much stronger than it actually was. Anyways, I think his wrestling ability will be able to stifle Silva throughout the match.

im all over evans here.....  he has taken care of quality opponents time after time..... you may not like his antics or his show of disrespect to his opponents at times but evans doesnt get his due respect for who has taken out..... meanwhile silva looked great against jardine (who last time i checked loves to block fists with his chin).... by the way they both were added to the machida highlight reel.....  evans is gonna knock thiago out!!!  BOL

It's unfortunate this card could've been one of the all time greats.  However we have what we have and it's time to bring in 2010 the right way.  I like Dos Santos even though Yvel is a bad motherfucker.  Jake Ellenberger will knock Mike Pyle out.  Joe Lauzon is a heavy favorite.  I like Stout as a big dog.  We'll see how things go these next ten days.

Well, Rashad even said in his interview that he is looking for revenge for what Silva did to his boy Jardine.

Silva.

Be careful there. Rumor is Silva has a hurt ankle and Dana and Co. made it worth his while to fight tomorrow night and not destroy this card even more than it already has been....

I really like Thiago.  I think Rashad is too distracted on other things, such as Rampage and what Thiago did to Jardine.  He also is coming off the loss to the Dragon.  I am sure his confidence will fade if he can't get an early advantage...

However, BOL with your plays!
