My best advice is honestly to lay off tonight. I don't see any ml plays equal to what I've jumped on before. Card is VERY tight and well-matched and you can make a case for just about everyone.

If you're into taking a 'dog play, think about Freeman over White and Vitale over Lindland. Freeman is coming in as a solid heavyweight while White just had a five-round fight weeks ago and is barely over the HW limit. Bad combo.

Lindland is a monster, but his weak point is Vitale's strong point: submissions. Lindland has also been on the wrestling circuit and may not be as sharp as he needs to be for this.

Eastman won't beat Belfort. Liddell takes care of an aging Couture.

For grins...

Edwards over Ruiz.

Vitale over Lindland.

Telligman over Rizzo.

Mir over Sims.

Belfort over Eastman.

Freeman over White.

Tank over Kimo.

Liddell over Couture.

My only live plays are...

Mir in Round 1 +140

OV 2 Decisions at -125

UN 4 T/KOs at +185

Good luck to all.

Glad I stayed away from any ml plays...was a crazy night! I hit 1-1-1 for my money plays, with Mir in Rd 1 coming through as my big play.

Casual picks went 4-3-1, definitely not a barnburner. Vitale and Couture cashed in big time for the believers, although Vitale's win was a total fluke.

Couture, on the other hand, outboxed Chuck Liddell, which is something no one expected.

Hope someone made some heavy cash.
