    Aldo line is already on the move... probably be at -300 or worse by the time 5dimes gets it on the board...

    I was looking forward to playing aldo but even -200 is a bit more than I thought i would have to lay, I was hoping for something in the -160 range, probably just pass

    Aldo/Jorgensen parlay will be in the works for me once its made available.

    I'm a huge Cerrone fan, but his TDD leaves quite a bit to be desired. I'll be rooting for him, but can't say I'd put cash on it. If he can somehow keep it standing and score a KO, maybe he'll get the belt, but I just can't see that at this point.

    after cerrone dominated benson last fight and still didnt win, i dont know if i can bet on him this time. Tho the close lines does reassure me.

    The first fight to me was clear as day cerrones victory, benson did absolutely nothing in that fight except survive a pummeling for 5 rounds, and few ridiculously deep chokes. I definitely give credit to benson for lasting the 25 mins but i guess that is where the judges opinion and mine differs, i dont give rounds to fighters because they "survived."

    Round 5 in that fight was easily 10-8 cerrone

    Dang it! Missed out on Aldo's opener, though I was hoping for something near the -180 range. I think Cerrone is worth a small wager simply due to the fact last match was so close, and if it went to the cards again I feel they'll give it to Cerrone unless it's absolutely one sided just for the sake of a third rubber match.

    I'm feeling a Aldo, Jorgensen, Brown parlay for this event.

    Yes. I love both of these guys, but I think Cerrone might be able to finish it this time.

    Missed the opener for Aldo. Hopefully the Faber fans will back their boy and get that line back down a little bit.

    I think that Mike Brown line is way out of whack. Major value there.

    You would think this being a bigger show and PPV the odds would be out a little bit earlier. Hopefully the full odds are out by Thursday.

    You said it, it's obvious not enough people care about this event. I hope not enough people buy the PPV so they can make WEC free again.

    I don't know man this Aldo v Faber fight could convince a good amount of people. Not as much as a UFC PPV but around 100k buys would be a success for them.

    really u think 100K buys would be a success, i think if they don't get 200K they consider it a failure

    There is no way people buy this on ppv. It's kind of a slap in the face to mma fans after all the garbage from 112... **** dana

    For the WEC 100k buys is a success. For the UFC under 200k is a failure, true. But there is a lot more money tied up in the UFC...

    well since ufc 60 there have only been 5 UFC's under 300K PPV buys, and 4 of the 5 were overseas where the time difference really cut into some PPV buys.

    ufc 110 (215-240K) Nog/Velasquez
    ufc 109 (275K) Couture/Coleman
    ufc 85 (215K) Alves/Hughes
    ufc 80 (225K) Penn/Stevenson
    ufc 72 (200K) Franklin/Okami

    So if a WEC event with its top stars, promtoed like a UFC PPV can't do more than 100K buys no doubt it will be i failure IMO
