jardine + 300

You say that as if Nick Thompson is some bum A.  And B Thompson is 4 inches taller and is versed in Mauy Thai to boot.  Thompson is also a big welterweight.  I really don't like a play on nick here... He showed us in his last fight that he doesn't have the best defense for leg kicks.

TBH, Nick has been given very good opponent to fit his style had Cyborg not gassed so quickly I am not sure how that fight would have ended up.  Nick has some great peppering jabs... but if he lacks real power in his punches.  Daley is going to be able to take one to give one.  I understand Nick is tough but if one of those lefts we might see a new champion crowned.

Jardine $5 to win $20

watching his punching stance it doesn't look like he is able to deliver maximum power, has anyone else ever noticed this?

 Jardine doesn't really finish fights, his slouch and move style kinda kills the clock and catches people off guard, untimely head and feet movement with Using allot of Jabs and kicks he does a good job keeping the distance, fighters that spend no time worrying about distance and go "Balls to the wall"  Wanderlei Silva- Thiago Silva/ Houston Alexander/ went right threw him. The question is what kind of fighter is Gaylord. taking this fight on short notice hurts GL more than Jardine because Jardine is the one that's more unorthodox. the best way to beat Jardine is to go for the first round KO, with this fight being on short notice i like GL to not rush into anything and feel jardine out. moving down to 185 on short notice can't help jardine, i like the two to feel each other out for a couple rounds and it goes the distance, i don't like Jardine to win but at +400 its worth 5 bucks.
