Former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn will face a stiff test in Carlos Condit at UFC 137, and the betting line that dropped today reflects that. Condit is no stranger to close lines, and this continues that trend. Here it is (via www.bmaker.ag):

Penn -125
Condit -105

​
Condit has been either a slight favorite or a small underdog in four out of his last five fights. The only guy who he was a large favorite over was Jake Ellenberger, and that was arguably his worst fight of the five (even though he squeaked out a split-decision victory). Penn is used to being the favorite due to having the line on his side in eight out of his last ten fights. Only Jon Fitch and Georges St. Pierre was betting favorites over BJ. It will be interesting to see if this line moves in any appreciable way, considering how divided fans are about who they feel will be the victor between the two.
