These are from Skybet. Outright Winner Fedor Emelianenko 2.37 (11/8) Overeem A 2.50 (6/4) Werdum F 7.50 (13/2) Barnett J 9.00 (8/1) Arlovski A 17.00 (16/1) Kharitonov S 19.00 (18/1) Silva A 23.00 (22/1) Rogers B 29.00 (28/1) Do you think that's an accurate reflection of their chances? I'll definitely be putting a little on Barnett at those odds.
I'd say that Sergei is a possible dark horse there, hard to know for sure what kind of shape he's in or whether his new more brawling MT focused style will be effective(could well be when opponants don't have gloves to hind behind) but I could well see him beating AA and Rogers/Barnett if both are positive aswell as being a threat to whoever makes the final. Equally though I woulldnt be shocked if he gets sloppy and gets lite up by AA within a few mins.
There is a good deal of uncertainy about all of them remember, in form Barnett, AA and Sergei could all be a threat but the latter two espeically have to be pretty questionable. As I said though I suspect that Sergei's more aggresive style may turn out to be much better suited to MMA than it was vs Ghita and Jaideep hiding behind their gloves.
