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??
