Georges St Pierre Opens As Big Favorite Over Carlos Condit, Penn vs. Diaz Close to Ev

[WrestlingSmarks News]

The betting lines for the the top of the remodeled UFC 137 card have come out, and they're pretty much what most expected. Georges St. Pierre is a large favorite over new opponent Carlos Condit, while B.J. Penn vs. Nick Diaz is almost dead even. Here are the lines (courtesy of Bodog):

Georges St. Pierre -450
Carlos Condit +300

​

B.J. Penn -130
Nick Diaz EV

​

Penn actually opened at -120, but early betting has moved him up to -130 already. On other sites you can get St. Pierre around -425 if you're interesting in betting on him and you're a line shopper. There are many who believed that Penn would open as a bigger favorite over Diaz, but that obviously wasn't the case, hence all the early betting on him. I expect that line to move a bit more as the fight draws closer, but I don't expect the GSP/Condit line to move much at all.
