Oddsmakers for tonight: Bellator 59
Bellator concludes its 5th season tonight with Alexis Vila taking on Eduardo Dantas and Eric Pindle facing Thiago Santos in the finals of the bantamweight and heavyweight touraments. Here’s our look at the betting lines:
Odds from Bodog. Accurate as of 0730 November 26, 2011
Alexis Vila (-180) vs Eduardo Dantas (+150)
Pick: Vila
Vila continues to win and prove that he is worthy of being a top flyweight/bantamweight. He has great KO power and his Olympic wrestling background has transferred well to MMA.
Thiago Santos (-220) vs Eric Pindle (+180)
Pick: Santos
Pindle is still mainly a ‘grab people and punch them’ kind of fighter. Santos is more refined and has beaten some decent opposition like Geronimo Dos Santos.
Patricky Freire (-145) vs Kurt Pellegrino (+115)
Pick: Freire
This is a close one, and Pellegrino obviously has the name rec and experience that comes with fighting in the UFC. However, the Freire brothers are 2 of the top prospects in MMA today.
Marcin Held (-125) vs Philipe Nover (-105)
Pick: Nover
Nover’s record isn’t great, but the opponents he’s fought are much better. Both these fighters have good ground games, and Nover is probably a little better on the feet.
