This Sanchez/Guida fight is starting to remind me of....

[OnePlayAtATime]

Serra/GSP....

Nobody is giving Guida a shot. Line has jumped up a dollar and nobody is calling the upset.

I just can't see it. I got $2800 to win $1k earlier in the week and I hate to see this much of the public with me.

Just not many ways for Guida to win this fight.

Makes me feel a little better now to see a 3-1 like Wilks come in. Not very often you see two huge dogs bark to end a show.

I wish I would have grabbed some of him +700 by sub but I waited around and it ended up at +410 then +390.

There was that stretch in 2007 where the Main Event dogs just killed and it taught many a very valuable lesson.

Sanchez is focused here. You will always get your monies worth from him.
