With how trash Bellator judges are mvp could get wrestled every round and still win 50-45 as long as he lands one flashy shot per round

It is insane they set the line there, bro.  Lol.  I maxed bet the line at 300 dollars.  And when these casuals blast that ****, I will be heading the other way.

If you are backing Page hold off wagering. If you are backing Storley, get on it now.

This line is actually moving wider, which is surprising to me with all of MVP being such a fan favorite.  This probably changes closer to fight day but man... You might not get a better line on Storley than today.

How is MVP a favorite??? There's literally no difference between this fight and the Yaroslav one, except one is an undefeated 26-0 Eastern European. MVP fans are being biased. I like the guy but he stands zero chance here. Like is there any difference between Amosov and Storley??? They had a class fight and both have dominant wrestling. Bad recipe for MVP with his absolute zero take down defense

No one's moaning. I like MVP but I'm glad he's the favorite, cause it makes my pick of Storley that much easier. I'm just baffled as to why so many people would pick him

MVP IS NOT THE FAVORITE... HE IS +225 CURRENTLY

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 183rd

It's not that he should be the favorite that is so intriguing.  It's that Logan Storley is traveling across the Atlantic, he's fighting at MVP's home, like it or not MVP is still super dangerous with much more length and a near 8" reach.  The line is way too wide.  If Storley was a -170 favorite that is fair.  But -300???  It's a numbers game.  I just can't get there.  That's a 75% implied probability.  If they fought 15 times, you can't see a path to where MVP wins more than 3 times? I definitely can with all of the outliers.

Look, I agree completely that Storley should be favored.  IF you were to bet him, I think you have a better than 50% chance of cashing that ticket.  But that ticket would be representing a 75% chance of winning and I don't agree with that.  Elite wrestler/grappler vs elite striker, I almost always give the nod to wrestler/grappler... BUT IT'S ******* MICHAEL VENOM PAGE.  The ************ is up there with Alex Pereira, Conor McGregor, and Izzy when it comes to timing and meeting your momentum with his momentum to optimize power on strikes.  The ******* guy uses all 8 of his weapons.  He has so much more length and throws knees that crack people's skulls.  The dude made a caveman quit. Yeah, I don't like laying -300 chalk against him in London, in his backyard, with all of that going on.

I thought +215 was worth a shot on him for the value... if it is rising like that, I am intrigued to wait it out even longer and take another stab... Jesus.  That is playing with fire.  I think Storley is unplayable at -300 or more.

No I meant how is he the favorite here on tapology? I know he's actually the dog and by quite a bit, but 65% on tap??? I had to do a double take lmao

Regardless, if Page wins I'll be happy, I just don't see it happening. The only reason I'd want Storley to win is cause he gave Yaroslav a very tough fight and could potentially beat him in the rematch. Other than that MVP is the man

Go look at LFA.  I can't even find decent tape on Gabriel Silva's opponent (who hasn't fought since 2019) and Silva last fought in the UFC in 2020.  Somehow his opponent is favored on Tapology (52%).  So, either a bunch of Brazilian locals know something on here or people are shooting from the hip.  Gabito might lose...but man... I would at least like to see film.

MVP/Storley Hedge opportunity

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points   |   Tied for 183rd

Bet Storley/Daley/Kielholtz/Trainer +225
Bet MVP +225

Those are current bovada odds.  Put 100 bucks on each and enjoy 125 dollars either way.

Gonna do tape, but Lemminger at dog money over someone who lost to Nordine Taleb seems like a good bet.

I rate Jason Witt, he just has a glass jaw especially towards the end of his career. He’s only lost to good opposition and beat a lot of people I’d pick over e lamp and Nordine Taleb as well for that matter.

It’s not a good look, but not enough for me to dismiss him here.

I think Enkamp should run though him like **** through a tin can.  If he doesn't, then Oliver did something really bad.
