Nick Kalikas, an MMA Oddsmaker and consultant for DSI sportsbook, visited the SBRtv studios to preview UFC 142, along with call-in guest Brett Okamoto from ESPN.com and SBRtv host Peter Loshak.
Chad Mendes vs Jose Aldo
Aldo is a significant favorite despite Mendes being undefeated in his career.
Vitor Belfort vs Anthony Johnson
Johnson has been getting a lot of attention as a "trendy" pick as a small underdog to Belfort.
Mike Massenzio vs Rousimar Palhares
Palhares should be able to dominate, the only concern is his unpredictability which does rear its head at times.
Carlo Silva vs Erick Prater
Silva steps up in class but is nevertheless a huge favorite on the betting lines.
Terry Etim vs Edson Barboza
Etim may have some value as a sizable underdog against up-and-coming Barboza.
