We’re already seeing public money come heavily on Forrest Griffin for UFC 126, so we suggest getting this line now before it further evens out. Griffin opened at +170 to +190 on most betting sites and has now shifted to around +140 to +155.
We’re not sure why Griffin’s the dog here; based on information that we’ve learned, we feel if anything, the odds should be close to even, if not in slight favor of Forrest. So while he’s still valued as the dog at +155, grab him at Betus: here.
