The betting lines for the UFC on Fox 2 card are now out, and once you get past the main card there's not a whole lot going on. The main event line is basically correct in my eyes, but the other two are still a bit off. Chael Sonnen has actually become a bigger favorite since that line came out, and to me, Bisping at +355 is a good price. The Chris Weidman vs. Demian Maia line has gotten a lot closer since it opened, but there's still value on Maia at +125 in my eyes.
As for the undercard...meh. Einemo might be decent at +135 and I like Joey Beltran at -215, but that's about it. Anyway, here are all the lines (undercard after the jump):

putting money on Bisping at those odds is not a terrible idea. I mean, I sure as hell am not going to do it but its not a bad idea.

RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
maybe he brought in Jeremy Horn to his training camp
elmojo - January 25, 2012
I just gotta rec everything Jeremy Horn regarding Chael
3 times man, not one, not two, he lost 3 motherfucking times
feiwongfu - January 26, 2012
You say that as though losing to Horn by submission is some kind of horrible disappointment. The guy has 60 sub wins, including over Chuck Liddell. Who else has subbed Liddell? No one. Horn’s the only guy. Horn’s no joke with his submissions.
Shnak - January 26, 2012
The man was ranked as a top 5 MW/LHW for a while for a reason.
Gugabe - January 26, 2012
What about when he lost to Horn from strikes? Is that bad?
rtwil - January 26, 2012
Wikipedia says he lost their fist fight by cut, not by strikes.
Shnak - January 26, 2012
That's a Freudian slip
First fight was a fist fight
Skoobs - January 26, 2012
Nah, just a regular ol’ typo.
Shnak - January 26, 2012
I didn't try to smuge Jeremy Horns accomplishments
in his prime he was a force to be reckoned with, I really just tried to say: for the love of god, Chael just couldn’t beat that guy, when one guy so obviously has another’s guy number it has something hilarious
feiwongfu - January 26, 2012
I can see it now
“ell I knew ah had ah speed avantege ova Chae an that oonts I stoofed a ‘ew a his taedowns that I’d aysily beat him on the feet”
I'vegotthepower - January 26, 2012

post of the week
In Rainbows - January 26, 2012
The odds are good
But I see no way in hell of him winning. I would never bet on a guy that I didn’t think was going to win, regardless of the odds.
discoandherpes - January 26, 2012
Wow
Maia and Evans seem like great bets
halitosis - January 25, 2012 via mobile
Maia was much better a week ago
Chris Hall - January 25, 2012
What was he at?
halitosis - January 25, 2012 via mobile
He opened at +200 I think
Hashmo - January 25, 2012
My mistake
Weidman was -200 and Maia was +160
Hashmo - January 25, 2012
You were right…it opened at a crazy Weidman -335 Maia +255 at Bovada.
Jesus H. Christ - January 25, 2012
glad I saw this article
I almost forgot I put money on Maia when he was +150 on Bodog or Bovada or whatever it’s called now
RashadsLeftNipple - January 26, 2012
Not a lentz fan but id put some money on em with that line .
youfailme91 - January 25, 2012 via mobile
It's a trap
Cause Dunham is probably going to destroy him.
discoandherpes - January 26, 2012
.
RashadsLeftNipple - January 26, 2012
merryprankster - January 26, 2012
Evans/Davis line seems off
I feel like Evans is worth putting some money down at -175
Hashmo - January 25, 2012
I agree with Jon Jones, I don’t think Rashad has a chin and I think people know it
AHutch - January 25, 2012
Rashad probably recovers well
But he clearly gets buzzed with any strong shot.
Not getting knocked out doesn’t mean your chin isn’t a question mark.
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
Davis' striking isn't good enough though.
gzl5000 - January 26, 2012
Not that it matters with Davis… his gloves are still brand new after 4-5 fights in the UFC…
Shnak - January 26, 2012
whether that's true or not
Davis is hardly the guy to test his chin.
Dave Strummer - January 26, 2012
Roop is bad
But Swanson is worse. I’d put money on him
IRodC - January 25, 2012
I don't think Roop is bad at all
Swanson though is flashy but broken. And by that I mean broken by a knee.
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
This
I like Roop to win by a LOT, I’m shocked he’s the dog.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
This is all you need to know about Cub Swanson
He is Jens Pulver’s last victory in the WEC. A 0:33 submission.
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
Exactly.
I have 5000 PG dollars on Roop. That’s how you know shit’s real.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
He also hasn’t had a convincing win since WEC 44.
MicahtheCynic - January 26, 2012
Roop is pretty good
Always brings the violence.
discoandherpes - January 26, 2012
Such bullshit
How is JOE not a -1000 favorite?
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
All these deal makers making deals.
memitim - January 25, 2012 via mobile
I can't stand Mike Russow
So JOE looking semi-competent against Dave Herman only further fuels my desire to see Russow lose.
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
JOE will beat up Russow for 2 1/2 rounds
The succumb to the power fo the hammerfist of doom!!
IRodC - January 25, 2012
Russow is immune to fists.
superflat - January 26, 2012
You misunderstand
Russow throws the hammerfist of doom…
The Lethal Haze - January 26, 2012
Dayum....
Good thing that punch put him out cause he just recieved 250+ lbs of mike russow to the balls
Analgesic - January 26, 2012
Oh the humanity!!!
NickRingp4pGOAT - January 26, 2012
I’m thinking about a Evans / Maia parlay.. what say you, betting gods?
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Very nice
All things considered, Maia is probably taking the W. I hope I’m wrong.
halitosis - January 25, 2012 via mobile
What are the odds on the parlay?
Chris Hall - January 25, 2012
3.49
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
As in 3.49:1?
Chris Hall - January 25, 2012
No, my bad, it was in decimal. In “american” it would be +200
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Dang it, I messed up again. It’s +249
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
I like it a lot actually.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Yeah, me too. I’m not a betting expert (obviously), but I like my chances here.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Seems like a good value to me as well
But I’m no betting expert either
Chris Hall - January 25, 2012
I have now made my bet! May the gods of gambling smile upon me.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
I cheer for your bet.
And Davis. But mostly you.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Thank you. Disregarding the gambling, I will be cheering for Evans simply because I want to see him against Jones already.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
I want that fight so bad.
But I LOVE Mr Wonderful.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Well, I like him too. Not enough to want him to derail the grudgematch I’ve been wanting to see like forever though (or at least the last year I guess).
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
If it pays 3.49 to 1 its +349
Day Man - January 25, 2012
Right, gotcha. Just got confused by all the different methods of counting.
Horselover Fat - January 26, 2012
Nope
3.49 means the return on your bet, ie. 2.00 equals even money as you would win the same amount you placed (in addition to getting your original money back).
3.49 = +249
wonderfulspam - January 26, 2012
If that makes sense?
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Soooooooo funny.
Chael is a pimp.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
whoops wrong thread
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Nah.
It’s always appropriate.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Chael?
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Yes.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Ur a pimp
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Well this only fuels the rumor
That Chael Sonnen killed five hookers in the mid-1990s.
SSreporters - January 25, 2012
Who cares?
Hookers aren’t even real people.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
You're not real man.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
...am too.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Get that shit off here.
Last time I trust a Belgian with anything nice.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
My God!
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Sorry, what?
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
I didn't say a GOTDAMN thing!

good we were beginning to
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Yes, and who would want to
for too long.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Beat anything for too long and it starts to get old
anything
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Anything?
I can think of one thing..
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Masterbation got old for me.
I refuse to do it anymore, unless it’s an emergency.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Oh, I was thinking wives.
Zing?
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Not married
I’m always demanding my g/f rub me out so they eventually get pissed and call me a prick.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
They?
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
It's happened in more than one relationship.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Me and an “internet buddy” were talking about guns, so I sent him this picture and asked him what he thought of all my cool stuff (fooling him into believing the guy in the picture is me). It was pretty funny, I have to say.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Hahahahahaha nicely done Horselover.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
The thing is I actually sort of look like that dude, except I’m a little more handsome and I shaved my head once I began going bald. So considering he only had an approximate recollection of what I looked like, it seemed somewhat plausible, and he didn’t have the guts to question me (as to not insult me). I enjoyed that.
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
Haha.
Even better. Hearing that kinda makes me want to do a BE version of that Maniacs Unmask thread set they had at Mania a few weeks ago.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Nah, fuck that shit. Most of them were ugly and/or old anyway. (yes, I peeked)
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
I looked at the whole damn thing.
For some reason, I expect BE to be way better looking..
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Oh, most definitely. I know I am. But you’ll never know! Hah!
Horselover Fat - January 25, 2012
It was funny to see that I thought. All of the trash talk there and the belief that most of them were twelve years old destroyed in a handful of posts.
Empty Thoughts - January 25, 2012
I stay unmasked
I prefer to be exposed to the world
I also like to go streaking from time to time, gotta be careful tho…. don’t want to get put on a sex offender list.
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Been there done that.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Don't get arrested
you’ll be a sex offender true story.
Naked is a badthing!
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
I live in a damn dorm dude.
I know full well nudity is holy.
T.C. Engel - January 25, 2012
Oh well
how fun for you.
Is it co-ed?
RolloTomasi - January 25, 2012
Nope.
T.C. Engel - January 26, 2012
sucks
RolloTomasi - January 26, 2012
You're tellin me.

Roop/Evans/Lentz parlay time
Rob Young - January 25, 2012 via mobile
Big Johnson has got to be a live dog here right? Beltran’s wrestling cant be relied upon for the win.
Hardy's in your face - January 25, 2012
It'll be a race to the bottom
Of their gas tanks
Rob Young - January 25, 2012 via mobile
Joey's isn't too bad
He had some moments against Miocic in the third round of that fight. Big Johnson, not so much.
Patrick Wyman - January 25, 2012
He has that sweet side step upper cut KO that is gif’d in Dallas’ preview of his fight.
Hardy's in your face - January 25, 2012
i suppose you’re right.
Hardy's in your face - January 25, 2012
Beltran actually has two positive qualities
a gas tank and a chin. Which sadly is enough to be a UFC heavyweight
The Lethal Haze - January 26, 2012
Heh heh...Big Johnson....black guy....heh heh
SSreporters - January 26, 2012
RAC--
Does that count as racism?
IRodC - January 26, 2012
hah
love coming to check these and seeing i’m on the same side as you guys, just put money on Einemo, Beltran, and Roop. thinking about the rest
mo dogg - January 26, 2012
My ridiculous parlay:
Evans
Sonnen
Maia
Dunham
JOE
Oliveira
-—$2 to win $29
My Main Card parlay:
Evans
Sonnen
Maia
-———-$5 to win $16
Then I just gotta figure out a reasonable parlay to cover the $7 I’d lose if I fail both of those parlays.
Tim Bernier - January 26, 2012
Russow/Roop/CDBO
Earl Montclair - January 26, 2012
do both of those bets again but sub in Weidman. you should win at least 1 of those 4 parlays if you do.
Hardy's in your face - January 26, 2012
Weidman will kill both of your parlays…
