Make no "Bones" about it, Mauricio Rua is the underdog for UFC 128: "Shogun vs. Jones."
The Brazilian is saddled with a +165 betting line as he prepares to defend his light heavyweight strap against challenger Jon Jones (-210) in their headlining title fight on Saturday, March 19, 2011, at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
Interestingly enough, the odds are very close to what they were for "Shogun" in his last fight when he challenged Lyoto Machida at UFC 113 -- and we all know how that turned out.
Simply put, if you're part of the (large) percentage of fight fans that consider Mauricio Rua at +165 to be a steal, grab it before it gets any leaner by clicking here.
Perhaps Jon Jones at -210 is a Greg Jackson thing, as two other contenders from his stable, Nate Marquardt and Brendan Schaub, are also playing the role of favorite.
"The Great" is -300 against Yoshihiro Akiyama (a very un-sexy +220) while "The Hybrid" holds steady at -280 against former PRIDE smasher Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (+210).
But that's not all.
