Threw out a 4 leg parlay just to keep this Bellator card entertaining tomorrow night. Joe Schilling is a kickboxing beast and while he's struggled in MMA, I expect him to dominate this fight against a Japanese unknown. Emmanuel Sanchez is 10-1 pro with a Bellator record of 2-0. In contrast, his opponent Pat Curran has a 20-7 pro record with a Bellator record of 10-4. However, Curran has lost 3 of his last 4. Additionally, Sanchez is now training at Roufusport and I have to imagine that includes some sparring time with Showtime Pettis. I love this guy at +255 odds. Rickels has traded wins & losses over his last 4 fights, but stands at 16-3 with an 8-3 Bellator record, with 1 of his losses being to Michael Chandler. His opponent Alessio lost his 2 fights in the UFC and was cut, had a N/C in AFC, and has gone 1-1 in Bellator with his loss coming to Will Brooks. Overall, his last 5 fights have gone 1-3-1 and I'm happy to pass on him as the underdog here. I'm taking Volkov over Kongo. While he's coming off a loss, that loss finished a 5 fight win streak with 4 finshes, with 3 of those fights in Bellator. Kongo is coming off a loss to King Mo, and if you like "trends" his last 7 fights went LWW,LWW,L - so he may be due for a win. But at 40 years old I'm not going there. His monster 6'4 frame is still at a disadvantage to the 6'7 Russian, who is only 26 years of age. Not alot of money on this, like I said just want things to be interesting! I may throw some straight money on Sanchez as well with a great price of +255.
Alexander "Drago" Volkov -165
David "The Caveman" Rickels -205
Emmanuel "El Matador" Sanchez +255
Joe "Stitch 'em up" Shilling -500
Risk $25.00 to win $229.48
