    Anyone taking Belfort? +230 is tempting...

    Silva will tear belfort apart anywhere this fight goes. My guess is Belfort is gonna try to keep this standing since he believes his hands are his best weapon. Silva has a great chin and will most likely pick him apart. But the real money on this card is to be made on Grispi. The fluke ain't no fluke.

    I got Belfort +275, I love his chances. I'm torn on Franklin/griffin. I'm a huge grispi fan, but I would never bet against Jose Aldo. The only way I see grispi winning is guillotine, and Aldo is a nova uno black belt so idk if he's gonna get subbed. I hope Grispi wins though.

    I forgot which card Grispi Aldo is on. I guessed with 126 but you're probably right with 125. I'm definitely gonna lay some money down on Grispi though. He's got a great chance of pulling off the upset. I hope the books make him a huuuuuge underdog.

    Loving the matchup for Rich, he generally only has trouble with fighters quicker than him (Anderson and Vitor in recent memory, lost to Hendo was controversial). Don't think Forrest has what it takes to drag Rich to the ground, and I don't see Forrest winning the stand up.

    Silva is a level above Belfort in striking I think.

    I would take action on Belfort. Silva is a good counter puncher when a guy is throwing two or three punch combo's. His counter punching goes out the window when he's getting hit. Belfort has enough of a chance to make it worth the bet.

    By the time Feb rolls around it will be almost a full Year and a half since Belfort fought last(Rich Franklin Sept 2009) Tough to fight a guy like Anderson after that kind of layoff I

    Honestly I think the current line on Silva is a gift. I think he should be -400 or more. IMO he has at least as good a chance to beat Belfort as GSP does to beat Koscheck.

    Bader's gone from +170 to +285 and Bones from -230 to -405. I see definite value in Bader if it reaches +300!

    I agree with lasker, this looks like a gift. Vitor has been very inactive imo anderson will stay away from his punches take the fight into the later rounds and pick vitor apart

    Wow right now Silva is -270 bet down from -340. Makes me wonder if people know he may not have healed well, or just the last impression of him and Sonnen is so current in there heads. Silva hasn't laid under -300 since the Henderson fight

    Sonnen -450 to -550
    Maia -650 to -1000
    Griffin -320 to -370
    Leites -500 to -600
    Cote -500 to -800
    Irvin -500 to -560
    Henderson -135 to -165

    I havn't looked forward to a Silva fight more since he fought Henderson. Doubt either of these guys will take it to the ground, and a pure standup fight between these two likely won't make it out of the 3rd round, never mind 5.

    Silva,Franklin,Fitch off the top of my head seem as close to automatic as possible. Bader isn't getting enough respect from linesmakers even though I think Jones has him...One does wonder the cause of the low opener on Silva, but I still trust him.

    Belfort is past his prime, I'm a huge fan but he's not beating Silva. I expect a solid performance from Anderson. Probably a punishing beatdown. At least Vitor has a hot wife to go home to.

    I like Belfort in this fight. I really do. There is a difference between getting punched in the face by Chael Sonnen and getting punched in the face by Vitor.

    Griffin at +150 now, if he keeps on going higher i' gonna take a play on him. Don't think there will be a stoppage in the fight and Griffins size could give Rich some trouble. Griffin by decision when the odds come out

    I'm telling you now Ace will put him to sleep. I really like Griffin as a person, is at least a top 15 lhw, but unless his striking has evolved by leaps and bounds since he got embarrassed by Anderson, he doesn't stand a chance. He didn't even finish Tito.

    Well Tito rarely get's finished, he has a big head and Griffin has never been a KO artist! Griffin is tough as hell and I dont read too much in to the Anderson KO because he was defeated before he even stepped in to the cage, he didnt want to be there. I agree, Franklin could still KO him for sure, and will take Franklin KO of the Night as a hedge if it's at +800 or better.

    Interesting to see if Cerrone takes out a low-to-mid level UFC vet in Kelly....will be a good indicator of whether there is a difference in level between the WEC lightweights and UFC lightweights (as Jim Miller alluded to). I would think Cerrone will take a decision or maybe even a sub, but should be an exciting fight nonetheless as both seem to love taking punishment!
