In looking at the betting odds, you can see which fights are the closest. The main event between Sonnen and Shogun is not really worth betting on as the line is so thin. Another one that is almost invisible is the Cole Miller-Manvel Gamburyan fight.
In looking at the most intriguing money makers, there is one line that could bring you a pretty penny. John Howard is a vast underdog against Uriah Hall despite the fact he has great experience against top-level talent. If you want to take the chance on a solid risk-reward scenario, put a few pesos on John Howard for the win.
