Odds are starting to come out on WEC Aldo vs. Faber. I just put 4u on Aldo at -200. I expect money to come in on Aldo pretty quick. I also took Cerrone at -115 for 1u
wow, I'll be taking Aldo upto -400. I also saw pat Barry +135 and Ace -115. Both I like, I think Barry takes it over 50%
Edit: sorry for taking this off track by posting 115 musings. I'm becoming what I hate, yikes.

Why is Cerrone the favorite in this match-up again? Henderson already beat him.

Because he dominated the sh*t out of Henderson for the last 2 and half rounds. Points wise, without a finish he'd already lost, but the final rounds were one sided.
That said, and if money comes in on Cerrone, i might be make a play on Henderson.
Isnt Henderson the slight fav at -125 or he was as of last night. I like cerrone here and its a nice price from there last fight. i think cerrone was in the range of -300 or so. Henderson is a tough sob but cerrone has the better standup and at some point might catch henderson on the ground where he almost did several times in the last fight.
Aldo/Faber.. i like the champ here. i dont see where faber can win the fight. anybody have any ideas?

aldo has a stroke?
the way I see it, what Faber brings to table moreso than Aldo's other opponents is a ton of athleticism and is dynamic (for lack of a better word). The problem with this is, Aldo surpasses him in both, he works at highers RPMs*, flat out. If brown couldn't take Aldo down, I think Faber is gonna have a tough tough time

higher rate per minute, I like that. This probably means that Aldo will be going at a faster pace compared other opponents, thus Faber is pretty much screwed during the stand-up.
Aldo is a spectacular fighter. However, I'm betting Faber at +200ob. I think Faber can win this fight the second it hits the mat and also can outpoint him on the feet. I think Aldo will be bet up to -365 by fight time.
The problem with this match-up is that, Mike beat Faber twice while Aldo beat the living crap out of Mike. Dunno how this fight's gonna turn out but Faber's not gonna handle this any better than Mike did.
The only damage Hendersson managed to do was from the guard while standing up. I'm certain Greg Jackson has fixed that hole in Cerrones game since that. Also even tho Ben looked unsubmittable(is that a word lol) It's hard to imagine him surviving another 5 rounds with so many close calls. I could see Cerrone finishing this with RNC after hurting Ben on the feet. I had Cerrone winning the first match in my scrore cards already.

Yup...I have 5.2u to win 2u on Aldo
I love Njokuani and will be rooting for him, but his TDD is too much of a question for me personally. I am looking at
Aldo 6.0u/ 2.0u and possbily parlaying with Pettis over Karalexis.
