I see most people picking Cummins in the fight with OSP.. I think a lot has to do with OSP's fight with Bader.. The difference in my opinion is the striking and power of Bader.. I think the threat of that helped Bader a lot.. I think OSP should have an advantage on the feet, and if he doesn't have to worry as much about the striking of Cummins, it should help him stop the takedowns..
And out of curiosity, why Villante? Just a play on the odds?

The Villante play is probably more of a fade of Corey "Beastin 25/8". The guy won the worst season of tuf against the likes of Patrick Walsh and Matt Van Buren in uninspiring wrestling matches. Then he fights a debut middleweight on short notice in his last fight in Justin Jones and has another uninspiring snoozer. Gian was a state champ high school wrestler in a good state (NY) and has an 85% TDD. He can take a shot to land a shot (shown in Maldonado fight), from a good camp (trains with Weidman and Eddie Gordon) 6-2 in his last 8 (only losses to Fabio and OSP), etc. I think Gian is able to negate most of Corey's TD attempts and betters him on the feet.
As far as Cummins goes, I only think there are a few guys that can prevent him from taking them down and GnPing - Bones, Cormier, Bader, Davis, Rumble, Rashad. I don't put OSP in that category. I imagine it goes to decision but Cummins wins it rather easily.

^^ that is one concern I've considered and you're right, he's a bit gassy. The three biggest things I've found that gas me in training are: 1) failed takedown attempts - trying to drag a guy off the cage is a bytch, 2) opponent volume - constantly avoiding and eating shots "keeping on your bike", and 3) body shots - it effects your breathing because it's a gasp with every shot. With Lorenz, Gian was something like 1 of 5 on TDs. Fabio is a volume and body shot king and threw something like 250 shots in their fight. Corey's not a volume guy and Gian would be stupid to try constant TDs here. I'm not saying its impossible that Gian gasses, just some things to think about.

btw, thoughts on sterling? I really like him on saturday
Yeah me too. I don't love fading Mizugaki after that fast loss to Dom, but Sterling is a bad match-up for him. It's pretty safe IMO. Adding:Sterling + Gordon + Jacare parlay 2 to win 1.6
Is this a parlay out of you???? Now I'm wondering!!!!
Fabio has a way of making guys gas. Had

It is. I used to post a few here than I quit playing them and things went downhill. I need to be open to them when looking. I think that's a good one. You?

Neither one of my sites let me play them, not sure if that's good or bad??? Might jump on 5dimes just to play round robins in May. About your parlay, Sterling is the key!!!

Man you have talked me into betting on this lug again, which I swore I wouldn't do after the Fabio fight. I have never seen a fighter so gassed. Guy was 5 sec from being TKO'd by Flabbio due to sheer exhaustion. I was so high on this guy due to his athletic background. I know cardio can be improved - hopefully he's been working hard. He's still young and this time a sizeable dog. Oh well.
