Seems like taking Gonzaga(-130) vs. Couture would be a good bet. He has a big weight advantage and a big age advantage. Randy has the "experience" edge but Gonzaga, with his strong grappling skills, should not be an exploitable match-up for Couture. I would make Gonzaga -200. I'm a MMA fan, but I'm not a regular sports bettor, just my two cents.

I am having a really really hard time with this. Basically, Gonzaga is too unknown for me. He dominated Cro-Cop, true, but he's also had only one big fight. He's fought some B-level competition before that, and i really don't know how good I'm supposed to treat him as.
With other guys we've seen time and time again, i like my picks much more. I'm probably not betting this, because Randy is a great thinker/game-planner and always brings it, and I can't make someone as unknown to me as gonzaga a big favorite vs. a proven guy. I'm still picking GG to win, but I would feel shaky betting him at -130.
