Prediction: wrong Alessio wrong Submission wrong Round 2

I see Alessio showing off a lot his savvy veteran skills on Shane, en route to a 2nd round stoppage. Shane has been on a rather tough streak lately, and it doesn't stop here.

Roller has been on a roll, just in the wrong direction. I think he'll get back on track against Alessio.

@Card: where are those odds numbers from?

I don't know about this one. I mean, Roller is on a pretty bad losing streak. Why is he the favourite? Alessio has fought at a higher weight class, but he doesn't seem that much bigger going by height and reach.

The Tapology % has shifted from favouring Roller to favouring Alessio, but by very small margins in either case. So it's not a case of "snowballing", it would seem? By which I mean, you see this on Tapology, the first few pickers will all pick one guy, and others will follow them on that, even if it was only a few people picking one guy over the other.

Roller is the odds favourite, but with odds, you get value betters, who don't need their guy to win even 50% of the time to make money...

I just don't know. I'm probably overthinking this. Whoever I pick will probably lose, ha.
