Arlovski, McDonald and Jardine all seem like good bets.

I've never bet on fighting and probably won't today either, but I think the above mentioned bets are pretty good. I rarely see three decent bets on one card. Either the fight itself is too close to call or the odds are super lopsided. Check out what MMAWeekly had up from beteagle.com

I agree w/you except for Griffin. It will be a war but I think Griffin will take it.

i think you guys are just believing what you wanna see when you say macdonald will beat leben.. leben has only been stopped once and that was by the champ..anyone who says doerkson 'raped' chris probably hasnt even seen the fight (and to my knowledge,the organization the fight was in doesn't have 'draws'..which many people thought it should have been.but somebody had to win) .. there is NOTHING that jason has that chris hasn't already faced before..get over it..he wins fights..but IF jason beats chris,i'm not a pussy,i'll eat my words..but don't count on it

agreed, I saw a guy betting on Fedor - what is the point?!


I don't see Leben knocking out Mcdonald - so I like that bet. wouldn't take him at +450 ?!- I'll be looking for u after the athlete pulls it out. that being said you must be able to find better odds than the ones listed in the TS's post.

Jardine is the best bet on here, IMHO, in terms of good odds on someone who shouldn't be *that* much of an underdog.

How about Rory Singer at +320??? I'm surprised at that one being *that* high...

Nah man, you bet $420 for what I really see as a sure $100. I understand some people's reluctance to take a bet that's anything worse than a 50% payoff, but when the odds should be even more lopsided, I see it as a good bet. How the hell does Arlovski lose?!?

Haha, I hope I don't eat my words. I probably will on at least one of these guys.
