UFC 84 Odds and Betting Lines

J.D Driscoll - May 7th, 2008 .

The UFC returns to Las Vegas with one of most anticipated fight cards in months, J.D Driscoll brings you the latest UFC 84 odds. The card is headlined by a lightweight title fight featuring champion BJ Penn and contender Sean Sherk. Two other bouts should prove just as interesting and could have easily headlined a card on their own. Tito Ortiz will take on the undefeated Lyoto Machida in what is will most likely be Tito’s last fight for the organization. "The Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva will face Keith Jardine, a battle between two of the best strikers in the light heavyweight division . A very sold line-up to say the least. Below are the current UFC 84 odds and lines.

Current Betting Lines: B.J. Penn (-225) vs. Sean Sherk (+190)

BJ Penn opened around -190 months ago but quickly was bet down even lower. His odds continued to drift and is now priced at -225 at bodog. Penn is considered the best lightweight by most MMA pundits and one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world at the moment. Sean Sherk is an excellent wrestler with world class cardio, he has never been submitted. Sherk strategy will be very simple. Survive for the first two rounds and use his superior cardio to dictate the rest of the fight.

Latest Lines: Lyoto Machida (-220) vs. Tito Ortiz (+190)

Lyoto Machida is another favorite on the main card who’s line has been bet quite heavily . Currently you can bet him at -220 . Like Dana White, odds makers aren’t showing Tito Ortiz any respect. He’s the underdog at +190. He remains a fan favorite and with a respectable record. He has only lost to 2 men in the last 9 years, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. His motivation will be at an all time high, this is last fight under his current contract the result of which will greatly influence his bargaining power with other promotions. Should Machida stop Ortiz there is very good chance of him getting the next title shot.

Current Odds: Wanderlei Silva (-170) vs. Keith Jardine (+130)
For the latest MMA lines including odds for UFC 84 “Ill Will“ visit Bodog and Bookmaker (see our review below) .

Its not often that a fighter coming of 3 loses is a favorite in his next fight. Wanderlei Silva, a MMA legend is coming off 3 consecutive loses, two which were big knockouts but the odds makers aren’t overreacting yet. The axe murder is the -170 favorite. His lacklustre record against strikers has not deterred bettors yet. Ironically Keith Jardine is coming of a win of Chuck Liddell, confirming once and for all that MMA math is an exercise in futility.
