    It's your money, if ya can afford to lose it then go for it.

    Before you do, just look at Silva/Sonnen 1, Sonnen destroyed him, i'd never bet money against King Chael

    Whilst I'm totally with Scud on this, the MBS from PP is too good to pass up. I've taken the same bet

    For a start, Jones has brilliant wrestling defence and is twice as strong as Anderson. Sonnen has no chance and I love the guy as much as the next fan.

    There'll only be 2 fights on Facebook now as the Catone fight is scratched.

    The MBS is if the fight goes the distance, yeah? I dunno, I think that's a bit useless personally. The only way it happens is if Chael can do what he did to Anderson in the first fight and hold on this time. If Jones gets his hands on him, he'll find a way to finish him (Sonnen hasn't proved historically difficult to finish with guys who can handle his wrestling). So you're pretty much betting on a guy, who's never been taken down, getting taken down at least five times in one fight. Pretty shrewd from PP.

    Agree with all that, its a bull****e special as it only applies
    to the match market

    they won't lose anything on that but will attract a few
    punters with that

    what might catch out some though for example
    you back chael pts and jones wins on points
    You do not get your money back even though it has
    gone the distance
    this only applies to the match betting market which
    is 1/10 jones 6/1 sonnen

    Exactly. The MBS is pretty much a dud unless you're backing Bones hard, which you shouldn't be doing at 1/12 (It's actually back to 1/10 now.... bargain :P )

    I dunno if anyone is mentioning it but I reckon 8/11 on Johnny Bedford is a decent enough price. Caraway is good and all, but I think this is a Bedford win all day (Especially if Miesha tate is in Caraway's corner telling him to phone in Round 3 like she did last time :P )

    Best realistic odds I could find for Jones/Sonnen is 4/1 for Jones in Round 2. I can definitely see that happening. I pretty much see this as an identical finish to Chael/Anderson 2 with Sonnen freaking out when he realises his takedowns won't land and doing something stupid, just as Jones finds his range.

    Lol

    I'm thinking exact same as you but would probably do
    jones in round two at 4s and jones in round 3 at 11/2 as cover

    If chael can get past round one and i think he might then
    I think it'll only be a matter of time before jones finishes him.

    Please prove me wrong chael

    Had Silver first round sub! Fair play to Holobaugh, was expecting him to tap early on in that, looked tight

    Garcia has to go. 5 losses out of 6 fights... Shouldn't here in the first plae IMO. As I said before, he just swings for the car park for 15 minutes.

    Jones is 2/9 to win by submission or KO on Paddy power, you get your money back if the match goes to points. So the only way you can lose is if Sonnen wins by KO or submission.
