I’ll make this short and sweet. Cro Cop is a total headcase, especially when it comes to the UFC. His two most recent UFC fights were losses to Gabriel Gonzaga and Cheick Kongo. If he can’t beat fighters of that caliber, I don’t think it is a guarantee that he will be able to defeat an ex Cage Rage Heavyweight Champion like Al-turk. To be a good pick at +250 Al-turk needs a 29% chance of winning. Because of Cro Cop’s recent UFC performances I think he meets those odds.
My Pick: Mostapha Al-turk (+250)
