Im looking at betting on this fight this weekend and i have been watching the betting line closely and last saturday Vitor was -150 and he is now even money on my sight. Do these guys know something i dont cause in my mind vitor should beat Rumble. Wondering what u guys think about it and is Vitor the right bet?

I saw this and thought the same thing here but I found out that people jumped on Johnson after that fighter diary video came out. Don't forget that alot of bettors are casual fans, and because they don't bet regularly they make larger bets less frequently, which impacts lines faster.

Obviously Rumble can win this, but he won't have that distinct size advantage he's used to, or the striking advantage like in his last couple of fights. He's up against one of the best fighters at 185 in his first fight there.

Saw yesterday that Rumble was a slight fav, thought that was crazy. People say it's an "even match"? I don't see it that way. It's not crazy lopsided but I think one guy is clearly better.

just like brock vs reem. If vitor gets off its a wrap if rumble can weather the storm and take him down he could control and finish. I got vitor

I got Rumble he is a beast, at his real weight class, has the power and the wrestling, and even though the lesser known fighters of the Blackzillians keep getting their asses kicked, the top guys minus Bigfoot, have brought something new to the fight game. Avoid the Swarm of punches that Vitor throws out and use his size, he's got this

You really think he can take and hold Vitor down? Do you really think he's bigger than Vitor as well?

i think AJ knocks out vitor

Today my sight is -125 in favor of Vitor.

11 pounds over that is a fuckin joke, I hope he gets knocked out cold, how is that even possible, dude makes 170 his last fight and now comes in at 197

I agree that is nuts. BTW the line is back up to -$145.

I see vitor slowing down of late and if he starts slow like he has I expect AJ to get off with kicks/ punches and possible TD

Now that I'm thinking about it, wouldn't most of these guys if they cut right be able to put on 15-20 pounds by rehydrating, Vitor probably said not more then 205 because that is what he knew he would be at fight time, and instead of not knowing how much your opponent put back on this time it is out in the open.

at 185 205 is def reachable

vitor is clearly the better fight but at the same time the more inconsistant one. if kos was able to trade and land on aj vitor will have no problem. difference vitor is alot faster and hits alot harder. still both could be one hit away from a win.

vitor should be a favorite

Ended up being an easy bet for me lol.

Should have found a way to bet. They were giving money away.
