Here’s my three-way parlay for Bellator 125: Doug Marshall (+170) vs Melvin Manhoef (-200) Gabe’s Thoughts: In short, I don’t see this fight making it out of the first round. I won’t be surprised if Marshall finishes Manhoef, but I am expecting Manhoef to run through him, finishing him in brutal fashion early on in the fight. Hopefully the fight will be shorter than this paragraph. Gabe’s Call: Manhoef by TKO (knees, 0:41 round 1) Aaron Wilkinson (+365) vs Chris Honeycutt (-555) Gabe’s Thoughts: In this match-up, I expect the superior grappler in Chris Honeycutt to use his superior wrestling to completely dominate Aaron Wilkinson on the mat, and just blow him out of the water. I think Honeycutt will make a lot of noise in this fight and earn a tougher opponent in his next outing. I won’t be surprised to see him TKO or submit Wilkinson, but I think the Brit will be able to survive a beating for three rounds of action. In any case, outside of a fluke, I don’t see how Honeycutt doesn’t get his hand raised here, and even at the juicy betting line of -555, I see enough value in him to include him as the second leg to this here my three-way parlay for Bellator 125. Gabe’s Call: Honeycutt by Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-25) Julio Cesar Neves (-385) vs Poppies Martinez (+265) Gabe’s Thoughts: To put it simply, I believe Neves is the superior mixed martial artist in this bout and can’t see Martinez outperforming him. This is another instance where outside of some sort of fluke, I don’t see any other outcome other than the fight ending with Neves having his hand raised in the center of the Bellator cage by the referee. I expect Neves to outclass Martinez in this scrap and earn a chance to face a more well-known opponent in his next outing. Neves’ current betting line of -385, while juicy, I believe holds value, so I like it for the third and final leg of parlay. Gabe’s Call: Neves by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Marshall/Manhoef Under 1.5 rounds (-240) parlayed with Honeycutt (-555) and Neves (-385) for +110 4.75u to win 5.25u
