the odds are set based on gambling predictions, not just fight predictions. also, they regularly change based on the bets place... i dont think you should read in to those numbers so much, they are just lines brov, not predictions...

I think Franklin is going to win this fight. Hendo couldnt put away Phalhares who cant strike himself out of a paper bag. Hendo is no joke but anyone who thinks hendo is going to walk through Franklin is crazy.

Hendo via KO 1:34 into second round. Memorize this. I can see the future

I think this is the fight that will finally make people realize how good Franklin really is. He got beat up by Silva.....but Silva beats up everyone (including Hendo). Franklin has basicallly dominated everyone else he has fought since he became a MW and now a LHW again.

Franklin beat down "The Hammer" who practically beat up Bisping who some regard as the next great thing at MW. Franklin also made "The Athlete" quit in their fight. It was la total ass kicking.

Not to mention, Hendo come accross like an asshole in the interviews on ufc.com. I hope Franklin wins decisively.

I trust you.

and since when has franklin's ground game ever been up for questioning? He's never been submitted and showed some highlight reel (if there is one) submission defense against Shamrock and Lutter to name a few.

Maybe the people who make the odds dont have Dan's balls in their mouths like 90 percent of sherdog does.
You are not Irish!
