When's the last time you actually watched their 1st fight?  I have watched it at least 5 times and if you actually believe that fight was so one-sided, I suggested you go back and watch again.   If you think Jones has over a 71% chance to win this fight, which is what -250 comes out to be, you are just crazy.

There's many reasons to bet Cormier...

Jones has fought once since January, 2015.  That lone fight, he looked very unimpressive against OSP, an opponent not near the same level as Cormier.

Jones tested positive for an estrogen blocker that was MOST LIKELY trying to mask steroids.  With the absence of such substances, I think we can make the case that Jones will not be the same fighter he was during that last fight with DC.

When two guys this high level face, two of the best ever to step foot in an octagon, it is always wise to consider the loser of the 1st one, especially if the 1st fight was close, which it was.

Cormier had way too much emotion going into that first fight.  Now, he is only focused on beating Jones, not the other B.S.  

Cormier looks incredible in the videos leading up to this fight.  He is in amazing shape, has stayed active, and has continued to look great.  From what I've watches, Jones doesn't look that great, definitely not like he used to.  He looks heavier up top, and I wonder if that will effect his speed on Saturday.

Jones has a lot on his shoulders for this fight and I believe the weight of everything will be too much for him to overcome, without all of the recreational activities he was partaking in leading up to his fights to calm his nerves.

Cormier knows his mistakes in the 1st fight, has the better training and training camp to fix the mistakes and I think will give Jones his first true loss in MMA.  

Cormier at over +200 is a gift, IMO.

Jones can obviously win this fight, but at those odds, you'd be crazy to lay it.

Estrogen blockers aren't MOST LIKELY masking roids, they are 100% masking roids. End of story.

NICE WRITE-UP

He was still ok but then he just kind of slowly walked away all cool and got caught

Very Odd

It's been a long time since I read a write-up and put a bet in based SOLELY on that write-up with zero research on my end. But I love the argument you made.

I'll take Cormier with you for a unit.

He's now +260 on 5Dimes.

$100 to win $260. 

Good luck to us. If this hits, I'll be VERY impressed.

Is that why you have that screen name? A guy with a kattar screen name would have me listening. Ah, I'm sick. I'll friend you tonight. I don't check my mail. My loss. Thanks for attempting!

Papa, I know you don't bet WWE of late but you're not gonna believe this:
5 Dimes has odds for a SMACKDOWN match:

Cena -125 vs. Nakamura -115.

A SMACKDOWN match has posted odds.

For as much as I hate the credit card fraud, the site's betting options are second to NONE.

On DC with you, Papa. Great writeups. Also love the healthy debate on that matchup as well. Always good when two informed individuals going at to discuss their opinions. This is what this forum is for.

Awesome stuff!
