Bookmaker.com has Jon Jones at -525 in the betting lines. Using a percentage conversion thing (google "moneyline converter"), this means Jones has a 84% chance of winning.
So is that accurate? Does Rashad only have like a 15% chance of winning the fight? -525 sounds really insulting, but actually I think 84% sounds ok.

i still think Rashad can get the upset. perhaps, he can outlast Bones and make him gas. Just hope evans doesnt try taking punishment as part of his strategy.

I may be a late comer to the sport (going on three years now), but while Rashad has the technical moves down, I don't think that stops Jones when it comes to range, power, and versatility. The odds are right and the blood is bad and Jones is going to be the most vicious defender the weight class has ever seen.

I'm actually surprised that Jones isn't -700 yet.

@rdmcurator do you think the bad blood is legit? or do you think Rashad senses an opportunity to build up hype and get a big PPV payday? personally i wonder if he's playing it up a little bit.

The beef seemed legit during the post-fight. They wouldn't even look at each other and it seemed really awkward for the both of them.

If you're a risk taker the Rashad line might be appealling...Rashad is a top guy and has the ability to beat anybody in the world in 2 if not 3 weight classes...I'd pick Jones in this fight, but will seriously consider putting a little down on Rashad

@thiago the line I see is Rashad +400 so if you were to put $10 down you'd win $40 plus your $10 back

I usually would be one of the last people counting out Rashad, but bones is just so dominant, so the odds make sense to me. I'd probably give Rashad a bit more of a shot because they have trained together. As for the bad blood I cannot see it being that legit, three weeks ago they were buddies, I think it is just more awkward then anything given the context of the situation.

HAHA! If it was 10-1 I'd be forced to put some loot on Rashad.

I'm not surprised about these odds to be honest, I think Jones wins this fight everywhere and should the better wrestler, and he won't be put on his back. Also, Rashad has a glass jaw and a bad gas tank that Jones will test. That said I hope Rashad pulls off the upset. After breaking it off with Greg Jackson, and a rumor is afloat that he's starting a camp with JZ, Jorge Santiago and the Villefort brothers, I'm starting to like him.

Maybe the odds are a little off; however I still see Evans as a longshot. Regardlessof the fact that they were training partners; I still don't see Evans having an answer for Jones. 1st or 2nd round TKO Jones

This might get alittle interesting because you know that Rashad comes in with a pretty smart game plan everytime he fights. I think J.J. will win, but I think it will get interesting.
