Kevin Burns at 2.5 - 1 to beat Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. Should be closer to +120. If it stays standing, Burns is done but I think he has a good chance to either A) get Johnson on his back or B) pull guard and get Johnson on top of him. Burns has a great triangle and Johnson is often wild. If he doesn't get KO'd, Burns wins this.
I completely agree with the Burns assessment. I got him at +275 and I think he's still good at +240 right now.
AJ looked gassed in his fight against Clementi in the beginning of the 2nd round. I have a friend that has observed Johnson train and he says that Johnson doesn't really have many training partners his size, aside from Cung Le. Apparently AJ has been training on his cardio using hypoxia training.
Burns, in his past fight with Carneiro, demonstrated just the style of fighting that would be needed agianst a guy like Johnson. Burns was able to weather the storm, keep calm, and get himself out of dangerous positions.
Depending on what Johnson's condition will be in the next few days, I might add more to my position on Burns.
At +400 or more, it's hard to resist betting on Irvin too. If anything, Anderson should be at a size disadvantage, only cutting about 10 lbs to get to 205.

honestly dont know much about Barnes, lost on carniero last month, but placed the bet bc i was so high on carniero and thought the ufc may have been throwing him a bone after chonan dropped out bc of injury.
but i hear he is only a blue belt, which makes the sub of carniero that much mor shocking. did carniero underestimate him? not sure.
johnson did gas bad against clementi, but he took that fight on 1-2 weeks notice if i recall correctly. and AJ looks like a real powerful mofo for 170.
dont have a good feel on this fight, but just trying to play devil advocate, excited to see it play out.
