Re: Mir is the Underdog?
Sorry to be a nit, but it should read

"Silva -125 Liddell -105"

If you have the favorites on the left.

Re: Mir is the Underdog?
I really don't understand how odds work. If someone can explain or has a link explaining how they work i'd be very thankful, but i'm curious if I put 100 bucks on Choi and he wins that means I'd win 850 bucks right? Choi is gigantic, he made Goodridge look small in there K-1 fight. I'm a little worried for Fedor.

Re: Mir is the Underdog?
You are correct.  $100 on Choi would net you $850 if he wins.  It's a fine bet to jump on honestly.  Will Choi win?  Probably not.  Could he land a punch that knocks Fedor out or cuts him bad enough to get a stoppage?  Sure.  For those odds there isn't any reason to stay away IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO LOSE.

with the favorites you would have to bet that amount to win $100.  So you'd have to be willing to put $1700 on Fedor just to win a hundred bucks.

Re: Mir is the Underdog?
Hey thanks for responding. I know Choi isn't really skilled and has only one MMA fight, but I wouldn't be suprised if he wins. 7'2", 360 lbs. That is over a foot taller and like 130 lbs heavier than Fedor. I just want to see how Fedor pulls this one off......hmmmmm. I just thought of Big Nog vs. Sapp, maybe Fedor will win.
