Bader vs. Anderson:
Why Bet on Ryan Bader
Ryan Bader is the current Heavyweight Champion and has held the light heavyweight title for 3 years. He was the Bellator double champ for a year and a half before Vadim Nemkov took the LHW Title from him.
If it wasn’t for the current LHW Champ being on the Grand Prix, Bader could have been the betting favorite from the start of the event.
Why Bet on Corey Anderson
Anderson has been increasing his momentum since his defeat by the current UFC Champion of the world. Now, as he goes into the semi-finals, he is looking to slow down Bader’s Hype and make a statement.
“Overtime” has won via decision 8 times and via KO/TKO 7 times. Judging by the challenge he is facing, he might want to get the numbers even.
Final Betting Analysis: Bader vs. Anderson
This fight is going to be exciting, as it could end via KO/TKO for any of the fighters.
With Bader’s experience under his belt, we believe that he is going to get the victory via TKO, but he has to time his shots correctly against a dangerous opponent in Corey Anderson.
Ryan Bader vs. Corey Anderson Betting Pick: Ryan “Darth” Bader
Nemkov vs. Anglikas:
Why Bet on Vadim Nemkov
The Russian, Vadim Nemkov is the current Light Heavyweight Champion and has been the betting favorite to win the Grand Prix since it began.
He took the title from Ryan Bader a year ago and defeated Phil Davis on his first fight in the Prix, effectively defending his Title.
Why Bet on Julius Anglikas
Anglikas has been given the opportunity of a lifetime, as he is stepping in for Anthony Johnson, not only taking a spot in the Semi-Finals of the Grand Prix but going straight into a title fight.
Anglikas has an excellent win streak going on, but he will be facing a tough challenge when he meets the current Champion.
Final Betting Analysis: Nemkov vs. Anglikas
The defending champion seems to be the one who will be walking out with the belt once again, but he is going to meet a dangerous opponent who is coming in hot.
We expect this one to be a back and forth fight, and one that keeps the fans excited as the main event, but with the Champion being a finisher, we have our pick on Vadim Nemkov before the last bell rings.
