For the most part, favorites ruled the day at UFC 119.

In the headliner, all of the money movement the week leading up to the fight was on Frank Mir. Shaking of two lack luster rounds, Mir caught Mirko “Cro Crop” Filipovic with a knee and then knockout with :58 seconds remaining in the fight. We liked Mir at -220, and still liked him even as the line climbed as high as -280. But, we’ll admit, this one was closer than we thought it’d be.

The co-headliner had undefeated Ryan Bader winning a decision against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira via decision (30-27). Similarly, the money movement on this fight was on Bader, as most lines shifted from -160 to -175/-180 by the opening bell.

Oddsmakers had Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle pretty evenly matched, and rightfully so, as this one was determined via decision as well, with Lytle avenging his 2006 loss (30-27 on judges scorecards).

The one dog who pulled through did so on a controversial decision. Previously unbeaten Evan Dunham was listed as a -240 favorite pre-fight. While many (including the crowd) felt like Dunham won the second and third rounds, Sean Sherk pulled through with a 29-28 victory on two of the judge’s scorecards.

Look for a slew of new MMA Fix videos in the coming two days and UFC 120 early lines early this week.

Just a few days from UFC 119, here’s a look at some of our best bets for the card.

:: Frank Mir vs. Cro Cop – Man, we just don’t get how Mir isn’t more heavily favored in this one. He’s -220 to -235 on all of the major betting sites. Given we like him–a lot–in this one, grab the -220 at Bodog here.

:: Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle – Serra is the underdog, and should be. But with Lytle listed at -145 to Serra’s +115, if you think it’s going to be close, definitely worth grabbing Serra at +115 here.

:: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Ryan Bader – There’s been a lot of line movement on this one, with all of the money going towards Bader. On BetUs, Nogueira has moved from +130 to +145 in under a week, so if you like him, take those odds here.
