Matt Brown vs. Diego Sanchez: Welterweight

Matt Brown began his UFC Norfolk betting life as the sound favorite with a line around -260, but has since drifted out even further to around -350. The wagers on Brown sent Diego Sanchez from his opening line of +180 up to a more plump dog tag of +290.



Andrei Arlovski vs. Junior Albini: Heavyweight

Junior Albini opened up at -210 as a reasonable favorite, but the betting public has since launched him up to a hefty line around -340. Andrei Arlovski started out with an underdog line of +160, and has been ignored by most gamblers, as he has drifted out to a fatter dog tag of +280.
