I seem to think Storley is good enough to survive as well, but going to be a mad sweat for 5 rounds while Storley is constantly diving into Gracies guard. Neiman is on another levelThink the main event going the distance is going to be a great bet if it's around -150 / 200. Storley is more of a grinder than a finisher since coming to Bellator and Neiman Gracie seems like a pretty durable guy so far. I think Storley's submission defense is good enough to not get subbed & we can expect a 5 round grappling match.
I think Storley will be cooked by the time the championship rounds come around tbh. Neiman has had experience there previously and subbed Ruth in the 4th if I'm not mistaken. Storley is quite fucked if he doesn't manage to stall out Neiman, which could happen going off the Jackson fight, but I still lean towards a Gracie sub.Storley vs Gracie decision line is out on 5dimes, -115 goes to decision & -125 doesn't go to decision. Goes to decision is definitely an attractive line imo, would be a stressful fight to watch but really the only finish I could see is the Gracie sub even though I think Storley will survive. Can't see any other finish happening other than that.
Thoughts Franklin x Sowma?
The over seems safe.Thoughts Franklin x Sowma?
The over seems safe.
I've never seen Sowma badly hurt or anything close to it, and Franklin's only scored finishes against not so durable opposition and can crushers. Also don't expect him to spend his gas tank pursuing an early finish against someone who can go 15 minutes, stranger things have happened though.Really? I have a hard time seeing it as safe with Franklin's style. I think this fight could go a number of ways.
