Wanderlei might be worth some action at +145. Considering how the first fight played out, I wonder how the 5 round format will factor into this one.

I know Russow should be the underdog against Werdum, but those odds are crazy. Probably because nobody's willing to bet on Mike Russow.

I think a lot of people are looking at Werdum as one of the best HW's in the world, and Russow is a huge step back in competition. Werdum beat Nelson worse then anyone has, including JDS, had a very close fight with Overeem, he definitely has what it takes to be a champ in the near future, where as Russow is just a tough grinder.

I think Russow might be a good bet since Werdum has a history of taking guys lightly, and Russow's wrestling and power can win him any fight if his opponent isn't properly prepared.

Rich will KO him.

I think Werdum is a top 5 HW right now and his striking improvements have really made him a scary task for any fighter, but Mike Russow is a fucking hoss in his own right and IMO, this is nearly a toss-up for me as Russow is a brutally difficult out, even for Werdum. This is a fight that could surprise alot of people.

I'd put money on russow just because he could pull it off and I'd make some good money

How the hell Franklin is the favorite over Silva! The Axe Murderer will send the math teacher to try to figure out some ecuations with severe brain damage.
