Jon Jones opens at -600 against Rashad Evans for UFC 145 main event

Yowzers!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones will defend his 205-pound strap against longtime nemesis Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC 145 on Saturday, April 21, 2012, at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

And he'll do it as a -600 favorite.

At least for now. That's according to the Bookmakers on Best Fight Odds, who give "Bones" the whopping favorite line following last weekend's announcement that the former teammates under Greg Jackson would finally hook 'em up in "The Peach State."

Evans limps in as the +400 underdog.

Despite a five round dominant unanimous decision victory over former undefeated division prospect Phil Davis at the Jan. 28 UFC on Fox 2 event in Chicago, Evans was panned for a "cautious" and "uninspired" performance against "Mr. Wonderful," which may have resulted from his failure to finish the fight after 25 minutes of complete control.

Star-divide

Did that affect the opening lines?

Perhaps. Or it could have more to do with the fact that Jones has looked invincible as division champion, laying waste to everyone in his path before, during and after his UFC 128 title win over Mauricio Rua.

Evans remains the final hurdle before he's effectively cleaned out the division.

Anyone think "Bones" is getting too much respect? Let's hear your thoughts on the UFC 145 odds and betting lines in the comments section below and for more on "Jones vs. Evans" click here.

Hendo’s still there, they stupidly matched Phil up with Rashad too early in his carreer but I think Phil will come back to the top again. JBJ pretty much beat everybody else on his way up to the title.

Rua's got some work to do to get back to the belt.

Machida might beat him back to the title shot because he at least took a rd from Jones.

whatever u need to tell yourself

i could say that the ref stopped mir because of the arm snapping rather than because of nog tapping.

either way, here’s a FACT for u: if the ref waited 5 more seconds, shogun would’ve OFFICIALLY tapped to strikes.

by the way, i don’t have an issue with that, but u obviously do, so choke on that one. where you living now, anyways? heard you lost your house on some retarded guarantees. LOL

It was nice

I was never off, they just threw him into the deep end too quickly. 145 is a much better division for him, but it is so thin, they will attempt to rush him again into contention and he will lose horribly to a much better fighter like Poirier or Nunes.

He needs 6-8 fights, but will get 3, if that.

Jones’ MMA wrestling is a few steps above Phil’s.

You mind your own damn business.

High

Jones would never be able to reverse Phil like Rashad did. Jones’s wrestling is nothing compared to Rashad or Phil’s. Not on paper or in the ring.

-600 seems pretty high

I like Jones here, but I’m tempted to put a bet on Rashad just in case.

Rashad handled the length of Davis very well

I wish Davis would have to stuck to more front kicks tho. They were landing at ease. I think Rashad will put up a good fight against JBJ. Will have to see if the fight actually happens.

I think I am going to put some money on this fight. Never done it before but theses odds are too tempting

question....

If you were to put some money on todays +400 evans and the odds adjust later to say +200 do you still get the +400 odds you bet on or will it revert to whatever the current odds are on fight night?

by Itsover on Jan 30, 2012 1:01 PM EST reply actions  

you get the odds you bet on

it only changes in horse racing as far as i know

If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die

Correct. You get what you lock in.

That changes with horses huh? Never knew that.

yeah, you get the odds at post time

with the horses, if you bet on one at 8-1 and it goes off at 3-2, oh well

If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die

Wow, that is really surprising seeing how MMA rates change so much from the beginning to the end. I feel like there is some real value if you get the lines from the start. Throwing a 20 on this seems like a steal! I may be wrong but I feel like the betting demography for MMA isnt the same as the hardcore fans. I may be wrong though.

by Itsover on Jan 30, 2012 7:27 PM EST up reply actions  

This was expected.

With Jones great wrestling and size.. the ground game a bad idea for Rashad. And with Rashad proving to have a weak chin and again with Jones size, striking will also be difficult.

I still believe Lyoto and Henderson have the best chance of dethroning him. Rashad is great but he doesn’t have much to offer.

by D-MoB on Jan 30, 2012 1:04 PM EST reply actions  

Rashad would beat down Machida and Henderson, he’s currently striking at a k1 level. Leaving Jacksons was the best thing for him.

JBJ will be even more tentative in this one than he was against Lyoto

Shad is in his head big time, and wouldnt be surprised to see an upset here

How Rashad completely dominated Davis

Makes me think this will be a lot closer than everyone thinks. I still dont think he wins, but I expected Davis to be able to put Rashad on his back with ease and that obv wasnt the case. I know Bones is a much better striker than Davis, but it was a pretty impressive performance by Rashad

Alexander Gustafsson

seems like the only top guy coming up for an eventual title shot

if he beats rogerio he will be on a 5 fight win streak

all his wins in UFC have been finishes

by P86 on Jan 30, 2012 1:23 PM EST reply actions  

Was just about to post something similar

True, he did get subbed by Davis in 2010, but he was still pretty green. Look what he’s done since. I’m not saying I think he’d beat Jones if they fought today, but by the end of this year, it might be an interesting match up.

Jones should be a bigger favorite.

Easy money on Rashad, there is a reason why Bones has been duckign him. Big Brother is about to give him the beating that he deserves and no one should be surprised by it if you aren’t driking the Bones kool-aid.

that's not saying a whole lot

so you don’t think rashad wins, but you won’t risk $20 to make $3. I’m sure most feel the same way as u do.

Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping

Crazies

Buy the hype and ignore the obvious. Bones has nothing to threaten Rashad with and no way of stopping what Rashad is gonna do to him. It’s gonna be like the Phil Davis fight. Just too much, too soon for Bones. Rashad ain’t no Page/Shogun lazy schlub.

Both observations are the reason, but..

Did that affect the opening lines?
Perhaps. Or it could have more to do with the fact that Jones has looked invincible as division champion, laying waste to everyone in his path before, during and after his UFC 128 title win over Mauricio Rua.

I’m thinking both are pretty good reasons leading to the line. But it’s still off the mark. I actually don’t see Bones finishing Rashad. I’m seeing a 4-1 or 3-2 five round decision for Bones.

-600 is waaay too much

I was thinkin -350 for bones, soo I’ll be putting a small amount on rashad. I feel he has the best chance out of Ny one in the division to take out bones
