Tito Ortiz (-260) Sean Sherk (-160) - (++120)
Breakdown
Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Ortiz may not have the size or weight advantage in this fight but his wrestling is very tough for anyone to handle and he definitely has the cardio to out work Griffin. Ortiz has faced better way better competition also, he should walk all over Griffin here to win via TKO stoppage.
Sean Sherk vs. Nate Diaz
Sherk has never lost back to back fights to this point. Sherk will be one of the best he’s ever faced and I’m not confident he’s ready to step up. Look for the “Muscle Shark” to keep it standing only long enough to set up the take down. Once they hit the mat, they will stay there. Sherk by decision.
