Robert K - September 3rd, 2008 .International sportsbook Betus.com were the first bookmaker to release odds on the recently announced mega fight between Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar. The odds makers really cant split the two UFC superstars. The current betting line makes Brock Lesnar the slight favorite at -135 with Randy Couture the underdog at +105. For those new to betting those odds essentially make this a pick em fight, with both fighters given around a 50% probability to win.
The Antiguan based online bookmaker has also posted a over under line on the bout going beyond 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the third round. Making the under a big favorite at -280 (Invest $280 for a $100 dollar return).
There are so many unknowns for these two combatants that makes this match-up so hard to handicap or predict. Couture, 45, has not fought over a year while Lesnar has had 3 professional MMA fights and only two in the UFC.
The controversial nature of Lesnar, legendary status of Couture and the evenly matched skill sets make this one of the biggest fights in UFC and MMA history.

Couture vs Lesnar Odds
Randy Couture (+105 at Sportsbook.com) vs Brock Lesnar (-125 at Betus.com)
UFC 91 takes place at the MGM in Vegas on November 15, bet on the big fight at Betus. A quick note for all those looking to bet on this fight. The the PPV starts around 10 pm so you better hurry if you want to have any action on this main event. Betus is currently offering a $75 sign up bonus when you deposit $200.
At those odds I suggest going with a bet on Lesnar as there certainly is some value at -125. The wrestler vs wrestler match-up stylistically favors Lesnar but we‘ve seen Couture’s get past more skilled fighters with a superior game plan.
As we get closer to the fight I expect Lesnar to have a slight edge in the odds, so I recommend getting on the former professional wrestler sooner rather than later.
