A lot of people are asking why it went from around -180/-200 to now like -120... Ill give the coles notes version of why and i might be leaving out some stuff but very quickly a list.
A) Brocks long layoff
B) Brock was very sick, lot of critics are wondering if he will come back strong from it.
C) Brock lost a lot of weight, a shitload, people are unsure what this will do. He could be faster but he could loose a lot of strength and that is what he does best which is bully smaller opponents but Carwin is apparently as big weight wise as Brock.
So pretty much those are the main reasons why brocks line has gone down that i know of. Of course a bit goes to Carwins hype whether warranted or not.
And before some of you jump on what im saying, these arent all based on my opinion. This shit is coming from what ive read or from what i have seen on TV in interviews and such...

After years of crap, no talent... i gotta say its has to be the heavyweight divy. Its become very compelling and lot of possible scenarios, and very exciting right now. With all the new very talented heavyweights making big splashes in the last year or so, how can we not say the heavyweight division is at the top.
Funny how things change, it used to be the light heavyweight division for a long time when Chuck/Tito/Couture then it was the welterweight with GSP/Penn/Hughes and so on...

Ufc usuallly has great cards even if there isnt a title fight. I think UFC 103 is one of their worst cards in the last 2 years.. U know its bad if Franklin is the headliner...
Frankline vs Belfort
Cro Cop vs JNR Santos
Swick vs Kampman
Kos vs Trig
Grif vs Hermes Franca
Like come on, i dont care what anyone says, that is a shitty card from what we usually expect out of the UFC. No significant fights really, u could say that swick vs Kamp has ramifications cause the winner faces GSP but neither one of those guys really stands a chance and who really wants to see thsoe guys fight. really......... UFC 102 Card kills this card and ufc 102 wasnt considered a great card........

He wants Lesnar, obviously its Shaq the ultimate jokester but i would be interesting to see him fight some other guys. The thing is, he would never be able to make the 265 cut, the guy is like 330 at his lightest playing in the NBA for crying out loud.

LOL, that was a headline at sherdog from some guy in the message brd..
the rest reads:
Shogun will get hit and Machida will get caught in a submission.
Watch Machida always gets over zealous once he knocks an opponent down and trys to go in for the kill, then whammm, Shogun sinks in a heel hook as machida trys to get back up.
typical thread at sherdog... some are good but mostly are like this one.

Just looking at the spreads, i really like Franklins chances vs Silva who has slipped huge since being back in the UFC. As much as i have always thought Franklin is overated, i really do think he should and will beat Silva. Silva has looked awful in his past couple fights, he has won only one out of 3 in the ufc and one of those losses was getting pummelled by the Iceman. Plus wandy was the only guy Liddell beat in liddells las 5 fights.
