Vladimir Matyushenko may be “The Janitor,” but it’s Jon Jones who’s mopping up the fight lines. “Bones” is still sailing into his “UFC on Versus 2″ main event fight tomorrow night (Aug. 1, 2010) against the Belarusian underdog as a -600 favorite.
Vladdy meanwhile is limping in at +400 despite having a significant edge in experience.
Yushin Okami has “Thundered” into his 185-pound war against Mark Munoz with a -210 fight line in tow. “The Philippine Underdog Machine” could make some money if he drops his purse on his own +165 odds.
Anything is possible in this sport — and those who lay down some cheddar on the underdogs in San Diego stand to make a healthy profit. Assuming you win, of course. Anyone thinking parlay? Take a look at the latest numbers and let’s hear your play.
