An easy way to tell how competitive any given fight card will be is to take a look at the betting odds and look at the average disparity between favorites and underdogs. For some mismatched cards, the numbers get gaudy in a hurry. For UFC 125, there's not a single 2-1 favorite on the entire main card. In fact, the biggest favorite on the pay-per-view portion is Chris Leben, who's going off a fairly tame -170.
What does that tell us about UFC 125? That matchmaker Joe Silva has lined up an evening of fights where almost anything can happen, as well as one where all our picks could very easily turn out to be wrong. But because admitting the limit of our own knowledge is no fun, let's go ahead and see where the smart money ought to be on Saturday night.
