Hendo v Franklin odds
On Pinnaclesports.com, these are the lines for the fight
Hendo -138
Franklin +118
Am I missing something here? Do people really give Franklin that good of a chance in this fight. He has never had a great ground game, and Hendo has never been ko'd. He's also beat great strikers, like Wanderlei and Belfort, and he dominated the first round against Anderson Silva. Does anyone see Franklin winning this fight?

Unless I'm just totally misunderstanding how the odds system works, I'm pretty sure a negative number for Hendo means he's the favorite to win the fight.
Hendo by Wand-Killer, round 2.

What the fuck do you want, Hendo to be -500?
Maybe the people who make the odds dont have Dan's balls in their mouths like 90 percent of sherdog does.

POOR Franklin,
This is such an interesting fight to me. Franklin is by ar the most underrated 185'er and Hendo is the most overatted 185'er. Trust me when I say Franklin is ALOT better than most people think.

Was this thread so good, that you had to make it twice in the last ten minutes?

only the oddsmaker think that
How can Franklin be underrated if he's ranked as the #2 MW in all rankings for a long time now?
Being awarded the 2nd best MW in the whole world is in no way underrating Franklin

you can never count Hendo out. I thought he was going to lose to Phalhares but he dominated

i dont think he gets talked about nearly as much for being so highly ranked. he isnt particularly flashy or deadly in one area, and the division isnt terribly exciting anymore, so I think people forget about him.
