UFC 133: "Evans vs. Ortiz II" goes down this Saturday night (Aug. 6) from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, featuring a main event rematch between former light heavyweight champions Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz.
While Evans opened at -500, the fight week money has started to trickle in and shifted the lines; however, "Suga" is still a sweet -400 favorite.
"The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" stands at +350.
Ortiz is a huge underdog for the second consecutive fight, having opened at +525 against Ryan Bader for UFC 132 back on July 2, a fight he won by first round submission.
Can he defy the odds once again and earn boku bucks for the "Punishment" faithful?
The initial meeting between these two took place more than four years ago and ended in an anticlimactic draw after three extremely close rounds of action.
After the fight, Ortiz went on to lose his next three -- and nearly his job -- before resurrecting his career by dominating "Darth" earlier this month in Las Vegas.
Evans, on the other hand, went on to win the 205-pound strap and cement himself as one of the top light heavyweights in the fight game. The stakes are a lot higher this time around, with Evans fighting for a title shot and Ortiz battling to get his name thrown "in the mix."
We're still a few weeks away from fight time, Maniacs, but who do you like for your money and who ya' got straight up?
