    Some current UFC value
    Thought I'd share a few of the lines that jumped out at me as good bets at 5 dimes.

    Rich Franklin -145 (vs. Chuck)
    Pat Barry -145 (vs. CroCop)
    Yoshihiro Akiyama +145 (even though I love Wanderlei, he's been slowing down. Should be close.)
    Bonnar/Soszynski goes 3 round distance +170 (Neither is a real finisher and the last fight was going to a decision)
    Kendall Grove +140 (Goran Reljic will face some ring rust coming off a bad injury)
    Anderson Silva -445 (I consider him a lock against Chael Sonnen)
    BJ Penn -340 (Down from -700 in the last fight vs. Frankie Edgar)
    Kenny Florian -140 (vs. Gray Maynard)

      I wouldnt say Florian is good value...his one weakness as always been his wrestling,,,,what is Maynard good at?..yes Wrestling! He could easily grind out a decision win so him at underdog is good value.

      Goran Rejic fought Dolloway recently so ring rust isnt going to be as much of a factor as it was then but I agree there is good value in Grove. Also Bonnar Soz should defo go to decision...majority of Bonnars fights go to decision - Griffin, Coleman, Jon Jones etc... and Soz went to decision against Vera,

      Barry will dominate Cro Cop as well.

              Says the man with the cro cop aviator. Mirko, is that you?

              I'm just playing around. But, in all seriousness, Cro Cop has not looked good in many years. He seems to have lost much of his speed and explosiveness and he just doesn't appear to be that interested imo. If you looked at his past 7-8 fights compared to Barry's, i believe the line would be closer to -300.

              This actual opened with Barry at +145 too.

                  Right about Rejic, I forgot that he already came back against Dolloway, he may start to get back to form then.

                  As for Kenny, his wrestling has been steadily improving since the Sherk fight. Dominating wins over guys like Stevenson and Guida show that I think. He has steamrolled everyone he faced since Sherk with the exception of Penn. I think he should be a higher favourite.

                      I think KenFlo's biggest advantage going to that fight would be Gray's super traditional boxing / wrestling stance. His left leg is so far out in front, KenFlo is smart enough to damage it asap to basically destroy Gray's shot for TD's

                          I like those picks. I have faith in Pat Barry

                              that Penn line boggles me. Why is it dropping so much?

                                  I certainly won't complain if it continues to drop.

                                      because it might just be a bad match-up for penn stylistically. i hope penn takes it to the ground this time he is my fav

                                          I read something BJ said about how bad the traveling was for him to get over to Abu Dabi. I think that's why he seemed so out of it. Traveling/jet-lag always screws with me for some reason, and as much as I want to see Edgar win, I think BJ will show up for this fight.

                                              I agree, BJ is going to be fired up - no way he loses 2 times in a row.
