Which Fighters Would You Bet Your Entire Bankroll On?

I've only done it once and that was on Fedor over Sylvia. Anything can happen in MMA but sometimes you just KNOW it is a sure thing.

So are there any fighters you would feel comfortable on throwing your bankroll behind?

I'm seriously considering it for Anderson Silva's next fight. He will be -500 but you can still make some free money if you put the bankroll in.

The guy is the Michael Jordan of MMA meaning he is several levels above any other fighter including GSP. His only weakness is the ground and pound and if you did get him there he has brilliant BJJ and escape tactics.

Many would say Fedor but I'm off that train. Arlovski rocked him and I question his chin. I think a Brett Rogers would have a good shot at stunning the world and getting a TKO.

GSP is a no no. I would bet heavy but not the bankroll due to his chin. That being said his TKO came from a known power puncher in Serra so his chin may be normal. If you get knocked out by someone like Chris Leben that doesn't mean you have a weak chin. lol.

Machida? His chin hasn't been tested so I say no. The problem with counter punchers are that the only way to deal with them is to not chase which makes for a boring fight. Boring fights can cause a decision against the champ.

Your thoughts and will you bet the farm on Anderson next go around or Brock??

First of all , it depends on who they are fighting. Fedor got rocked by arlovski-yes, but if u have seen any of his fights you would know that Fedor takes big shots all the time, hes known for getting rocked then coming back and winning. As for GSP well that punch from MATT SERRa was a fluke and hes proven that in his last 3 fights. Anderson Silva, well ive seen all of his fights, i watched him get submitted 2 fights in row in PRIDE and one of those was by a BUM by the name of RYO CHONAN, so if ur gonna crack on anyone about a 1 punch ko 1 time or a weak chin than u cant bet it all on Anderson without knowing his opponent. U want a couple good bets, take Brandon Vera to destroy Krystoph, or take Steve Cantwell over Brian Stan at Ufc 102. good luck anyway.

BJ Penn at 155 is pretty unbeatable. If he keeps training like the way he did to prepare for Ken-Flo I don't see anyone knocking him off that title for a loooong time. He'll destroy Diego Sanchez. Don't know if I'd go all in but I'd def. lay a heavier bet than usual when that fight occurs... He was less than a -250 fave vs. Kenny and I wish I had gone all in on that one...
