Bellator 206 Mousasi vs MacDonald

Even Unibet has FDNGTD odds, what do you think of these 3?

Lima - Koreshkov FDNGTD @+120 and this is a 5 round fight.
Rory - Moose FDNGTD @-139, also a 5 round fight
Rampage - Wanderlei FDNGTD @-200, Rampage hasn't finished anyone since 2014, but with this matchup there's a high chance of a KO

I haven't bet any of them yet just like a little discussion.
 
I like Rampage/Wand ITD. Also, I'm not in on the Moose circle jerk.

Yeah I'm also really liking that one, probably a 1st or 2nd round KO and I think +120 for the Lima - Koresh fight definitely has value as well.

Cause of odds, you actually like Rory to win, or because last time you had to eat the cracker and don't want to go buy more mouthwash?

Yo Rory looks good AF here. Look at the prime development of those chest muscles fading into his shoulder muscles. 170 is such an optimal weight aesthetically for men to walk around at, fuck

oh, 5u on Lima

I think this one could leave a salty taste in my mouth.

In all seriousness, I just don't see where Mousasi has any major advantages here. Sort of alluding to what someone else said, I believe he is best when he finds a clear weakness in his opponent and exploits it. In other words, he looks best against guys that aren't completely well rounded. I don't know if he'll find an area to really exploit with Rory and I think this can be very close.
 
So Rampage has about 30 lbs on Wand for what it's worth

Haha that was me that said that and I still have 2u on Moose at -190. Reason being, they are both very well rounded, we agree there, however I think Moose is slightly better at the key facets here, plus has a size advantage. One of the biggest things is I think his jab will be more effective and that will allow him to control the standup, while possibly damaging Rory's nose. Should be a great fight and have to respect Rory for stepping up against a larger guy, but I don't see where he holds an advantage here.
 
Laying juice on Rampage no matter the size advantage seems like a risky proposition to me. Dude is slow AF now and gases after a round. I mean he probably still gets it done here but I can't imagine having a large bet on him at -250. He weighs 250+ lbs ffs.
 
If you bet lima vs kor FDNGTD you might as well bet lima by tko lol. Lima should win if it ends itd. I played lima ml

Rampage is fat af, I think wanderlei wins.
I'll throw a couple bucks at rory by dec. I think he's much more hungrier than moose, who's already talking about having x fights left. He's always been like that tho. His nose and gegard's jab is a concern but I like his chances. He's got a better corner behind him too.

I like Rory at these odds. I think the increased weight will benefit his durability. Mouse won’t be able to out wrestle him, and I think Rory will have the edge standing up. However, if there is a finish I’m pretty sure the Moose will get it as I have a hard time seeing Rory finish Mousasi. Rory DEC is my pick, but my books doesn’t have props.

Also taking Lima and a small stab at Hugo.

I think Moose can definitely finish and have 2u at -190, but I wouldn't bet strictly on his ITD line. I think it is kind of silly to think Moose can't win a decision. He has cruised to decision's before and is basically in control of every fight he is in as well. He doesn't need to wrestlefuck to win a decision, not really understanding why you think it is ITD or bust for Mousasi here. He is 7-2 in decisions, Rory is 6-2.....

I agree he’s a good points fighter, but he hasn’t really outpointed a great points fighter. Lost round 1 to weidman. Very sketchy judging vs Shlemenko. Leites was close to washed. Phillippou is garbage. Latifi still wasn’t that good yet.

He doesn’t have that one signature win where he outpointed a well rounded guy. Closest things he has are Weidman and Santos KO’s, but that pales in comparison to Rory’s opponents he has controlled esp since his KO losses would have been dec wins.

Thus I cap Rory around +150. He has value IMO

My books only have FGTD for moose vs rory. I think it does but not really sure. It's a great matchup and def the best in bellator's history. Only eddie vs chandler comes close.

We've got a new corner circle jerk going now!
 
Can't believe Rampage came in so heavy... Guy has little to no concern for what's left of his career.

I doubt Rampage is explosive enough to duplicate what he did in their third fight, with that perfectly timed left hook counter. So if this turns into a brawl with two old dudes, who's likely to pull away? Probably the guy in better shape.

Silva for me, especially at +235/+245
