UFC 144 Odds Updates:

Chris Cariaso 2.87
Takeya Mizugaki 1.36
- this should be a grinding fight, I didn't expect that Mizugaki would be as big a favorite but he is a solid veteran.

Steve Cantwell 3.45
Riki Fukuda 1.27
- Cantwell will be desperate because his job is on the line, Fukuda has the style to limit Cantwell's striking skills. If Fukuda can turn this into a dog fight he should pick up the W.

Vaughan Lee 3.55
Norifumi Yamamoto 1.25
-Lee opened at $4 and has dropped, Kid needs this win for both himself and JMMA, Lee is a talented fighter and will be more comfortable as this is his second UFC fight. Kid has had issues with guys that can out grapple him. Upset Alert

Eiji Mitsuoka 2.75
Takanori Gomi 1.40
-Gomi is in the same boat as Kid and needs this, Mitsuoka is debuting and has the tools to give Gomi problems. This is a DNP for me.

Joe Lauzon 2.75
Anthony Pettis 1.40
-FOTN candidate and pays out at $6.50. Lauzon is a tough a kid and has the skills to put anyone away given the oppurtunity. Huge fight for two young fighters.

Bart Palaszewski 2.40
Hatsu Hioki 1.50
- is Hioki is the next title challenger at FW? This fight will prove it, Palaszweski looked good in his debut and has a tonne of experience to draw upon. Upset Alert

Tim Boetsch 3.80
Yushin Okami 1.22
- I don't anticipate this being an exciting fight, Boetsch is a strong guy and is at his best when he can physically control his opponent that will be tough against Okami.

Yoshihiro Akiyama 3.60
Jake Shields 1.24
-Sexyama is desperate to win, could be one and done at WW. If Shields can get Akiyama off his feet this is his fight, if Akiyama can't deal with the weight cut this is Jake's fight, if Akiyama can keep it standing these odds are really tempting. Upset Alert

Mark Hunt 3.50
Cheick Kongo 1.26
-Hunt can stop anyone standing, the odds makers clearly anticipate that Kongo is going to try and negate the K-1 Champ's striking skills.

Ryan Bader 2.90
Rampage Jackson 1.36
-does the weight issues create a problem for Rampage? are his injury problems going to impact his performance? is his head in this fight? lots of questions about this fight make picking Jackson tough, but not impossible.

Ben Henderson 2.00
Frank Edgar 1.72
-Ben has jumped slightly from $1.95 to $2, this will be an excellent fight, certainly a FOTN candidate @ $4.00. Edgar is a true champ
and has proven it time and time again, but this could be the biggest test he has faced.
