BetCRIS/Bookmaker Odds:
Stevenson (-200)
Fisher (+160)
What do you guys think? I think Stevenson will win this fight and -200 are good odds for him. I also think that price will probably only get worse, not better. I don't really see any value in Fisher, especially not at +160. He's a mid-level fighter that will probably always be a mid-level fighter, whereas Stevenson, for the most part, has only lost to the best in the UFC and was considered a contender at one point. In the UFC, he's lost to BJ Penn, Kenny Florian, and Diego Sanchez, all guys who have been in LW title discussion. He has also lost to Josh Neer, who is a strong up and comer, but has a win over Pellegrino, who just beat Neer at 101. (MMAth, I know. But it's relevant.)
I'm thinking 1.5u-2u on Stevenson. Agree or disagree?
