The rest of the UFC 145 lines dropped tonight, and...well, I don't see a lot of money to be made. Five of the six main card fights have substantial favorites, and I'm not sure any of the underdogs are worth betting on. A lot of people have a lot of faith in Rashad Evans to overcome Jon Jones, and if you think he has a decent chance to win, +400 is a good line. I don't think he does though. Nor can I see Che Mills, Ben Rothwell, Eddie Yagin or John Alessio pulling off the upset.
The undercard is a little better. Stephen Thompson is coming off a highlight-reel KO, but Matt Brown has okay takedowns and there's definitely a chance he could ground the standup fighter for 15 minutes. +300 seems like a reasonable bet there. John Makdessi and Efrain Escudero might be worth a look as well. For some reason, there hasn't been a line released for Maximo Blanco vs. Marcus Brimage. Does someone know something I don't?
Anyway, here are the lines:
