Default Early UFC 62 & 63 Lines

Found these on Pinnacle just listed an hour or so ago

Ultimate Fighting Championships 62: Light Heavyweights

Forrest Griffin -242
Stephan Bonnar +222

Ultimate Fighting Championships 62: UFC Light Heavyweight Championship

Chuck Liddell -300
Renato Sobral +270

UFC Welterweight Championship

Matt Hughes -125
Georges St. Pierre +115

I love Forrest over Bonnar. I think that Forrest will get bet down around -200 which is a GREAT play. All the TUF fans will think that this fight is a coin flip (like their first match-up) and getting Bonnar as a dog is a "good bet". Bonnar has looked to have reached this pinnacle after the James Irvin fight while Forrest's game has made steady improvements from fight to fight.

I like Hughes at -125. He will probablly end up at -175 to -200 by the time the fight starts. I just see Hughes using his strength to neutralize GSP's overall high energy/activity level. Hughes will get GSP down and using everything he has to keep him down and land an elbow and a few punches here and there for a DEC victory.

Wow. I am really surprised that Hughes is only at -125.

i emphatically gree re: hughes & forrest.

in fact, a good friend and new mma fan was talking about how he wanted to put money on chuck. i explained to him that his money was better spent on griffin, value wise.

hughes at anything less than -350 is a friggin mystery to me.

Pound Hughes and Pound Forrest right now. I recommended to several people to do so as soon as these lines open. Every time the max raises I recommend pounding them again. if you can only chose one, chose Forrest.

I agree with your assessment Tuds, but not on the line movement - Forrest is going to get bet up to around -350 by the time this starts.

They're going to go way the other way by the time these fights start. Will present tremendous arb opportunies, not to mention being +EV on their own.

After 2nd thought and seeing Forrest starting to move in the wrong way, I bought into Forrest at -255. You are right Perf Forrest in going to top -300 and maybe move towards -325 or -350 by the time this fight starts.

Hughes is also starting to move in the wrong direction. He is at -131. My guesss is he is over -150 before the day is over.

Get on these two guys early because you won't see similar odds in these two fights again.
