Betting Lines in MMA for the Second Half of 2011

[WrestlingSmarks News]

Sure we're a little past the halfway point of the year, but the second half of 2011 is going to provide us a plethora of big fights, and a lot of them already have had their betting lines released. I thought it might be worth running down a few of the biggest ones. We'll start with Strikeforce this Saturday and wind our way all the down to UFC 139 in November. Remember that not every huge fight has had the line drop yet (ie. Jose Aldo vs. Kenny Florian).
