    Quite long odds on this card and I don't see value anywhere. Miller, Faber and Marquardt parlay (+140) would most likely hit.

    Yeah, its a tough card to get a spot on. I do think that fight deserves to be on the Spike card over Cane/Marshall.

    Schaub/Benavidez/Barboza parlay sounding real good. 2u on Schaub at -260 and 2u on Schaub/Davis parlay both at -260.

    Still no line for Benavidez. Akiyama out but then I heard he wasn't so I don't know. At first thought Miller is the better fight for the orange cream-sickle; Dan is known for fighting and losing to the best in the division, but he's young so will that stop and at what point? Hard to say but Nate's inconsistent as hell, he was a no-bet either way for me.

    Jon Jones is really good but does he deserve to be a -180?

    Benavidez by submission doesnt look too shabby at first glance, need to watch some footage and obviously wait for the odds.

    Main is packed with entertaining fighters.

    Hell, they should have swapped the Facebook and SpikeTV matchups. The Facebook matchups are more compelling in my opinion.

    I noticed that the public is dumping their money on Shogun.
    The value of Shogun is going down, while the value of Jones is going up.

    I like Pyle at current prices. If Almeida cant get him now his options drop off. I think Pyle is good enough to stop the takedowns.

    Agreed, Pyle looked very good in his last fight. I'll take him as a dog here

    I know Urijah should win the fight... but does anyone see some nice value in Wineland by decision at +1200? (bodog) He's pretty sharp on his feet and durable. It's possible that he keeps off his back here w/ his wrestling background. I don't see him submitting or KOing Faber, but possibly a bad decision by the judges... I'm making a play there.

    Yeahhh I made a small play on it last week at +800 because I thought that was reasonable value so +1200 for sure

    Cheers dude, Good luck too

    Be a nice bonus if Barboza by sub hits. The Armory is actually more BJJ orientated with lots of legit Black-belts coaching there such as Eduardo Guedes, Raphael Chaves, Rodrigo Cavaca, Thiago Abreu, and Marcus Almeida so with Barboza being a purple belt and working constantly with those kind of dudes I think his ground game should be good enough to submit Njokuani. He also alludes to the fight going to the ground again in interview on UFC.com....

    "I think every fight in UFC is a test for my Muay Thai, but this is not a Muay Thai event, so I'm ready to fight on the feet and on the ground," he said. "If the fight presents itself better on the ground, I'll take it there and work my ground game, if not, it's time for my Muay Thai."

    We believe it, and if the expected KO doesn't come, we know the magic of MMA can be displayed with a well-versed Thai fighter finishing the other by submission. However, with the aggressiveness of these two guys, can we expect anything other than a standup war?
