Rumble Johnson was going to be on my list to bet today but I guess he got ill during his cut and doctor ordered him to get fluids. As a result, he weighed in at 197 lbs for a 185 lb fight. Belfort said if he is over 205, they will not fight. The line has moved from practically even to Belfort -130/+100 now. This will be a no-play for me tonight.

Aldo/Poulhares/Silva -107 for two units

Aldo/Barboza -113 for two units

Maybe more plays later.

Well it looked as if I swept the board with both parlays but the questionable DQ of Erick Silva for strikes to the back of the head (there were, at most, two), ruined that one. Settle for a split minus a tiny bit of juice.
