That's where I'm leaning too. I just cant convince myself Schiro is on Gracies level while at the same time not really being sure of what level Gracie is himself as an MMA fighter.

Yeah I think Gracie is pretty mid, but I can’t back a short notice guy who lost to a made up choke in his last fight. Seems like they’re trying to give Gracie a win

That's how it looked to me too but I also try not to read into the tea leaves too much and guess when a fighter is getting thrown a lay up. 

I think the only thing that caused me pause for a moment was over-analyzing both of their fights against Storley.

is it worth placing anything on the hughes v karakaya fight - I keep going back and forth on how confident I am on hughes and the lines i'm looking at still have karakaya as the fav but i can't figure out why

Pass bro.

Plenty of other juice out there. You can definitely sit out the first of a 14 fight card especially when there's UFC tonight also.

Gracie's gonna destroy Schiro. Tbh I think he would've beaten Lombardo pretty handily as well, was gonna pick him as the Tap dog
