    You can find action between 27/20 and 11/10 (the current range shown on accumulator sites).

    I was expecting slightly longer.

    Who thinks it's worth it? :think

    anything below double the money isnt worth it for Cain

    I was thinking of getting in at 2.25 (5/4) but am holding off for now.

    I might go the other way and take Brock by KO/TKO at 2.1 (11/10).

    Still on the fence about this fight.

    I might stick 5 on an accumulator for this, Thiago Vs Sanchez is a tough one to call both 5/6

    2.25 (or 5/4) odds only yield a profit of $1.25 on the dollar - careful with that (in case you thought that was better than the $1.35 mentioned by erroneously comparing the "2.25" to the 1.35; if not then nevermind and my apologies for presuming).

    To earn $2.25 (that is, get a total payout of $3.25 including your original dollar stake) the odds would have to be 9/4. :good

    if I had the money I would bet on cain to win.

    he probably will take it early too.

    I don't think that is a very good value bet.

    Well, yeah - but haven't you said all along that you think Brock walks right through him? :yep

    at those prices I prefer to put money on Lesnar, much as I hate the ****.

    as for Paulo Thiago v Diego Sanchez, I prefer the Brazilian....he should be favourite. Sanchez was always overrated, is limited and past his best.

    The usual sites I use are only giving 2.25 for a Velasquez win, thanks though.

    this is interesting. I wonder if Mexican money is going towards Cain or if insiders know something that we don't.
