Just because Anderson is -325 to -425 favorite doesn't mean Forrest will be a +325 or +425...

Forrest is highly OVERRATED, IMO, so I'd love to see the books give him that in this fight. I'd LOAD UP on -225... 2:1 on the worlds best fighter????

as much as I hate chalk and like Forrest, I totally agree with this. I can see Forrest eating knees now!

Forrest is aggressive and has an average chin at best. He's good on the ground, WHEN HE'S ON TOP...otherwise, he's very average as well.

I just simply don't see him taking Anderson down for 3 rounds and laying on him.

I'd be suprised if the fight even made it to the 3rd round, honestly...

good God UFC 102 is turning into the best card maybe ever, especially if this MAIA/Marquardt fight goes down.

So lets say Spider is -325 for argments sake. Is anyone really going to lay 3 1/4 or dont you feel more comfortable betting on Forrest which would in turn be at least +250 or there abouts. My point is, Spider is THE best fighter in the world, but a fight is a fight and anyone can get caught. I just wouldnt risk 325 or 350 when you could put like an eighth of that on Forrest. IDK maybe I am out of sorts but if spider is that big of a fave, I'll take my chances on the dog.

I would feel this way if the odds were higher. Doubt I'll be able to pull on Forrest unless I'm getting way more bang for my buck. Doubt I'll bet Silva either. I'll probably just try to get a small wager with a friend who likes Forrest and I'll take The Spider, and I'm sure he'll give me even odds.

Oops thought this was on the Silva/Griffin Card. Good call, find a friend who likes Forrest and take silva at even money.

UFC 100 without a doubt is the best card the UFC has put together in a long time, maybe ever...

I love the main card...Akiyama makes his debut, and he's going to whoop Belchers ass!!

There are even 2 fights on the undercard that I wish were on the main card to give us 7 main card fights! lol

Jon Jones vs Jake O'Brien and Stephan Bonnar vs Mark Coleman..

Oh this could be my big bet for the summer.

Penn is -145 to 155 vs Florian. Listen I like Florian and think he has a chance but to me that chance is very small. Penn will be getting heavy action from me(sorry Kick)

bestfightodds has spider -260/forrest +200

those seem to be pretty accurate. Not sure why all the thoughts that spider was going to be -300 or worse.

Again give me Silva for the Max. This comes down to talent now and Forrest will get lit up.

I'll give you Forrest @ +275 if you bet atleast $200...he's going to get KO/TKO'd in the 2nd...if he even makes it out of the first...
