This is in Canada, so there are a bunch of Canadian fighters on the card. Everyone wants to watch GSP on how he comes back from injury. He's facing a difficult striker in Carlos Condit. Condit likes to use his range and throw bombs, similar to Diaz's length. There are several things going in this fight - GSP off injury, GSP facing toughest task yet, Condit has a bit of ring rust not fighting for a while, Condit won't have Greg Jackson in his corner today.

I already locked in Johnny Hendricks -135 for two units a long time ago, but the line hasn't moved yet. Looking at prices now.

The Costa/Ring fight is canceled because of an illness.

I like Siler, Riddle, Diabate, Garza, Lawlor and GSP, but I've been sick the last week with a bad flu and am not going to bet anything else besides Hendricks.

Like Hendricks over the luck-box Kampmann. Hendricks fights smart and good defensive jiu-jitsu when on top - he won't get caught by anything. Kampmann has been living with a horseshoe up his butt the last few fights and now you have a guy who is too smart to get caught. Like Hendricks to finish within the distance.

Good luck guys.
