Really starting to get my opinions for the card formulated. As of right now here's where I'm at...
Marshall v Brilz...Liking Brilz some in this fight. need a little more info but this will probably be a solid lean at worst depending on line.
Mcfedries v Drwal...Honestly I think I may stay as far away from this fight as I can. McFedries has awesome power and can end the fight at any second. But he has a history of getting taken out via submission. If Drwal has any sense about himself he will try and get this fight to the ground.
Griffin v Franca...This should be an easy win for Griffin. Franca is getting older and he's barely able to hang in the UFC anymore. The sport is evolving past him and he's coming off an ACL tear. This is going to be a medium play for sure.
Filopovic v Santos...This should be a good fight. Filopovic has SICK power. We're talking ridiculous collosal power. AND he's a lefty. Basically this is how I see this fight...Big scary dude with tons more power, experience, and the added benefit of being a lefty going against a young guy. I expect Santos to be eating foot early in this fight. Medium/big sized play on Filopovic. If you are able to play a bet on the round of this fight go with 1st rd. Both guys will be throwing hard early. It's as close to a lock as you can get...
Franklin v Belfort...Still working on this. However I'm leaning towards Franklin. On paper he's solid and he's a big fight winner. He's fought for and won belts. He's used to being a main event and he's stood toe-to-toe with the best and pushed them and often beaten them. Belfort is a quality opponent and I expect a great fight. However I think Franklin just has more tenacity and a better track record in big fights. This will likely be only a small play.
