UFC 130 betting lines show no favorite in the Roy Nelson vs. Frank Mir bout, pitting both of them as -115. We can understand why it’s hard for the sportsbooks to decide who may have the slight advantage over the other here. Frank Mir is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, coming off a KO (knees) win over Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and has only lost twice in the last four years to Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar. Roy Nelson is a respected former IFL Heavyweight Champion who beat out Brendan Schaub as the TUF 10 season winner and lost his first UFC fight to Junior dos Santos. Neither fighter here is a joke as we saw amazing heart in Nelson’s 3 round fight with dos Santos and Frank Mir has shown solid improvement in his cardio and striking.
If you feel in your heart that one of these two friends can beat the other, then head here and place your bet for the Heavyweight showdown taking place on May 28th in Las Vegas.
