Wow that is a huge difference in odds for the Kimbo/Alexander fight. I will not bet on that fight if Alexander is that big of a favorite. Marcus is awfully high at -295 but I might still take him, who knows. I still can't get over Schaub being +235, he has got plenty of talent and is far more athletic than Roy Nelson. I am still not impressed by Nelson, it seems like the only thing he can do is just lay his fatass on people and put them in a crucifix and love tap the guy to death.

I would rather see Schaub win it just because he looks more "Presentable" and I could see him possibly being a force in the Heavyweight division sometime down the road.

 But for being fat and flabby looking, you cannot deny Roy's talent. He is pretty quick for carrying all of that weight around. And His BJJ is REALLY good.

He is like a light-heavyweight trapped in a fat suit.

DTher, does your book have odds posted for these fights yet? I've checked 2 more places and they also both have the Kimbo/Houston Odds the same as my 2 books.

They are still not up yet but I talked to Kathy from live chat and she says they will be up tomorrow morning. She sounded sincere so I will take her word for it haha.

Those opening lines from Bookmaker disappeared quick.

5Dimes pulled a few lines and doesn't have the Slice/Alexander fight up anymore.

Just a reminder in the past TUF finales alot of dogs won.  I always think in these TUF fights the big fav will win but somehow the dog pulls through.  of the top of my head: Novar was -350, Winner was -200, Alot of other ones I cant think of right now,  I will be betting the dogs this event even if i think the big fav will win.

I just grabbed Schaub at +170.

Right now my book has Marcus Jones -315 against Matt Mitrione. I might sit that one out. I think Jones takes this one but I am not comfortable at that price.

Houston Alexander is -255 over Kimbo, If I were to bet on this one it would be on Alexander but no way at that price.

Schaub will probably be my only bet for the finale, nothing else sticks out to me.

I just have a $50 on Matt for the Finale. I might throw like $10 on Kimbo just for a goof.

Lookin' for Schaub to Take Roy out.

These lines are getting ridiculous. I still haven't made my bets because the dogs keep getting better. Hamill is +250 and Slice is +225. I'm taking both of these right before fight time.

Well, everyone made weight. That is a good sign.

Kimbo weighed in at 212 and Houston at 208 (215 catchweight)

Nelson at 263 and Matt at 240.

Hamill and Bones both at 206

Kimbo +260 at Matchbook

We all know Kimbo is no polished mma fighter, but almost 3-1 against Houston Alexander.  If you think the UFC wants Kimbo to lose you are kidding yourself.  They have done everything in there power to put Kimbo in the position to win and win spectacularly.  He is a MUCH BIGGER draw than anyone they put on any undercard.  Love him or hate him, its gotta be Kimbo or no play, how could you bet Alexander at this price?

I couldn't.  Small play on Kimbo. He is the bigger man here too.

I know Kimbo hated the weight cut and was bitching up a storm about it but I think he can get down to 205, granted that division is deeper and has more well rounded talent but he could be one of the bigger guys in that divi which should help him.

guys listen...Im no oddsmaker or anything but shit stinks tonight. Heres what I bet and this is no BS....Stann, Marcus and Jon Jones and Schaub. Roy wont win this fight. Stann is a killer. The 2 jones will dominate. Dont wanna throw Slice in the parlay but YOU BETTER BE DAM SURE Im betting 100 on kimbo at these odds. UFC wants Slice to win. Thats why they paired him with a fighter stupid enough to stand blow 4 blow with the crazy mf. Alexander has been shit of late. I once had high hopes for Houston, but Im tellin ya this smells like a kimbo backyard KO. Do what you do this is what Im betting tonight ya wops!
