    PVT is the biggest one, but I don't even check it very often. Can't remember any other...

    Well, I usually check Sherdog. That's it.

    The Thomson that fought Melendez and Diaz would make it competitive.

    I disagree with you. I think Bendo rolls him pretty badly here.

    Absolutely. He doesn't have a single advantage, in my opinion. Maybe offensive wrestling. I played the opener on Ben, I'll probably put more on him at a later date. I've backed Thomson in the past, but I think this is a really bad match up for him.

    Would have bet Thompson vs Pettis, but yeah Bendo should roll if he can follow a gameplan

    I'm on bendo here as well. Kinda worried about bendo giving up his back in a scramble but nothin else really. Should have a significant speed advantage

    but as he said, he also had a terrible camp for the second Melendez fight yet arguably won so never know

    You mean the third fight, right?

    But yeah, good point, he has complained about stuff like that before.

    I don't think Bendo is a good matchup for Thomson on the feet. Thomson's hands have always let him down, even moreso than Bendo's, and Thomson's kicking game may be interesting, but I think most would concede that Bendo is the harder kicker, which makes me think Thomson won't want to play the range game. Thomson's a bit better at being elusive, though, but who knows how long he could do that before getting tired, if it would even work well for him.

    Well, Josh dominated Gil in the latter rounds of their last fight. If it stays on the feet, I don't see Thomson gassing.

    Certainly looked tired to me, and it was only R2. Thomson is a pretty inconsistent guy, largely because of his propensity to become injured. Counting on him to look good from fight to fight is a tall order. I was huge on him against Diaz, but in a five round fight against Bendo? How the same guy can arguably beat Melendez (I thought he did), and get Crushed, I dunno.

    Bendo is the rightful favorite, but it's all about the odds...

    Thomson at +205? Pretty confident there's value there.

    Martins looks like a great play. I wonder what his game plan is? I think he could out grapple Cerrone but who knows if he will go for the take down.

    Martins is a decent striker, but he has a clear edge on the ground. I think he'll go for the TD.

    Cerrone's really hard to take down, and he's really, really good at avoiding bad positions. I doubt Martins will have a sizeable edge, if he can even get it there.

    Not sure how I feel about Caceres hitting +200. Seems silly, but at the same time, maybe not.
