This is what I'm thinking. The problem now is what to bet on. The under 1.5 rounds at 2.41 on Nitrogen? I don't think it's giving us enough value to make the bet worth it. I'd start putting some BTC on that starting at 3.00 and above.
I wonder what the other bookies are laying on the over/under. Any suggestions? Looking for bets on under 2.5 rounds and 3.5 rounds for Miocic vs Dos Santos with decent odds.
I think most people are expecting JDS to fight moving backwards, like he did when he fought Ben Rothwell, Cain Velasquez and Mark Hunt.
If JDS is moving away from Stipe the whole fight, it will likely be harder for one of them to land a knockout punch.
The fight will probably go on longer if JDS avoids standing toe to toe with Stipe. Heavyweights usually tire quickly. If they don't get a KO in the first 1-2 rounds, they're usually too tired to get it in the 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds. Especially if there's lots of wrestling and grappling.
1.5 odds could be too low. Should probably be 2.5 or 3.5.
I think we will see JDS playing a defensive game, trying to lure Stipe into his trap, then he will rush to him and take it to the ground and try to break his arm or something. JDS is brutal if he catches you. Stipe can ground and pound and that's all, his ground game is not as good, but the dude is huge so it will be hard to keep him down, his striking is also sharp. Thought day of work for JDS.
