I stopped looking into that matchup as soon as I saw the odds come out. Lara has that typical braindead WMMA fight iq but at the same time she's better than her record suggests having split decision losses to some actually good fighters so yeah I'm staying away from it since the bookies who put the odds up seem to know something more

Thanks bro, line seems too good to be true.

What do you think about Mikhailov. I think he is probably beating Caldwell at this stage right?

Lara looked terrible in her last fight., I don't see her suddenly getting better from that, she is losing this fight.

I could see Lara winning this fight. Diana is better than her, but WMMA is really hard to predict most of the time.

I watched Bennett x Lara yesterday, and Bennett dominated her by using wrestling and ground game for the most part of that fight. 

Diana doesn't seem to use offensive wrestling though, so this fight probably will stay on the feet. She seems to have the power advantage, but we also have to consider that it's gonna be the first time she's gonna fight someone of her size. 

The odds are tempting, but I'll stay away from it. For me, the best values next weekend are Rinya Nakamura ITD or FDGTD / Tatsuro Taira ITD or FDGTD / Johnny Eblen ML. Magomedov ML (Bellator) should be good for a parlay as well.
