    Thoughts?

    Think there's some value there?

    GSP opens at -430

    Edit - it's actually -430 lol

    I'm curious how much the line will move in that case. I figured it would open at closer to +500 and the Diaz fanatics (the ones old enough to gamble anyway) would push it into this territory. We'll see.

    Is that 3/1 in English odds?

    Time to bet on GSP. That is not that different than the Condit betting lines

    Not everyone who bets on Diaz is a "Diaz fanatic"

    It may not have been your intent, but regardless, I do not appreciate the condescending undertone of the post that makes it seem as if anyone who bets on Diaz is a mindless drone who does not appreciate the nuances of MMA

    Diaz should've opened at +125, imo.

    Whenever a fighter has a large fan base that you aren't a part of, they immediately become 'fanatics' or 'nut-huggers'. He's just following the rules.

    No. Nate and Nick are extremely similar fighters, and Benson wrecked Nate badly. GSP is levels above Benson, and can and will implement a similar gameplan.

    Yep. I think Nick is better than Nate by a little bit, but GSP is much better than Bendo. Should be a fairly easy 5 round decision for GSP.

    He should have opened at -500, but GSP has got a punchers chance.
