The UFC's deepest card of the year presents some pretty interesting gambling challenges. One title fight is basically a toss-up while the other is being booked as a blowout.
Frank Edgar is still a small favorite over a guy he's 0-1-1 against in Gray Maynard. Edgar is minus-130 with Maynard coming back at plus-110.
The bettors don't feel the same about Kenny Florian as an underdog. He's as big as plus-350. Jose Aldo hasn't lost a fight since 2005 and has won all nine of his fights under the Zuffa banner.
Yahoo! Sports' lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined me on ESPNRadio1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas to breakdown the card and make his picks. Listen here for audio.
