I was just checking out some potential bets for the fights tonight, and noticed that Nogueira is as high as +440. Does this surprise anyone else? I know that Evans is a favorite and will probably wrestle/L&P his way to a decision - but Nogueira is one tough dude with incredible boxing and some totally legit skills. I was expecting Rashad to be the favorite, but +440 is pretty extreme. |

that is pretty unrealistic. Nog looks to be in great shape and could pull the upset off. |

Rashad is way too fast and his wrestling is too good to be taken down by nog. |

Nogueira has struggled with lesser (MMA) wrestlers like Bader and Davis, no reason to doubt Rashad can out wrestle him for the win

lmao did you see him fight Bader, Davis, or Brilz? they only reason Tito didn't wrestle fuck Nog also is because Tito's shot is essentially nonexistent due to his back and neck issues

Not surprised at all, Evans is a really bad matchup for him. |

Put money on it if you think those odds are good. |

After watching Lil Nog vs Davis, no I'm not surprised at all. Rashad will do the exact same.

not at all. Lil Nog lost to Bader and Phil Davis, who are lesser versions of Rashad. i know, mmath, but still... Heres hoping for shadface 2.0 but not many hopes of seeing it.

Those odds are giving Nog a little less than 1/5 chance of winning this fight. I actually think that is pretty accurate, so even though the +440 looks gaudy, it does not represent much, if any, value. |

I thought he'd be more like 300. In my opinion he beat Bader and narrowly lost to Davis, and his takedown defense is getting much better. I probably won't pick him to win but at those odds he's not an awful bet, he's the better striker with improving takedown defense and extremely dangerous Jiujitsu. Another thing to consider is that he's a southpaw which Machida really struggled with against Machida (Nog's training partner).

Rashad also has an average chin at best, Shad is slight favorite based on recent results but not by much. |

It's just a good line for the bookies to make money. Rashad will win regardless. But put a big enough line on it and people will jump on nog as an upset and plenty of easy money will roll the bookies way. Closer odds would be a waste of money

The bookies don't try to "trick" people into betting on one fighter or another. The fact is, and you can dress it up however you want, but Nog lost to Phil Davis, so why would he beat someone that's better than Phil Davis in every way, after a year layoff? |

Bookies aren't in it to gamble, they want equal money on both sides. Walking around with that thick of a skull on your shoulders must be a real bitch! |

Herring In A Fur Coat -This. It's a squash match. Just like Bigfoot-Reem. Both are to showcase the winner for a title fight.
