So, my Vagner Rocha underdog pick at UFC on Fuel didn't exactly pay off. Actually, it got knocked out. For UFC 144, there's really not a lot going on betting-wise. I won't comment on the main event because I don't really see any value in either side. The same goes for the co-main. Is there value in Mark Hunt at +230? As much as I hate to say this (Go Hunt!), there probably isn't. In fact, the whole main card is somewhat devoid of value to be honest.
Things get a little better on the undercard. I like Mizugaki at -200. There could possibly be some value in Steve Cantwell at +195 since Fukuda is coming off some injuries and has been out for a year, but the more I look at it, the more I want to shy away from it. And I refuse to say that Mitsuoka is good value against Gomi at +175 because Gomi is the Fireball Kid and cannot be beaten (I don't want to hear your lies about Diaz/Guida/Florian. It never happened).
Anyway, here's a look at the UFC 144 lines (undercard after the jump):
