Dan Henderson A Small Favorite Over Rich Franklin

UFC 93, which will be taking place in Dublin, Ireland, is just around the corner. The event takes place on January 17th, meaning that you have just over a week to get your bets in on your favorite fighters.

The event is co-headlined by a couple of very good and intriguing matches.

First off, you have two of the most popular fighters in the UFC squaring off as Rich Franklin takes on Dan Henderson.

In the other co-main event fight, UFC legend Mark Coleman takes on Mauricio Rua in a light heavyweight battle.

The Rich Franklin / Dan Henderson fight might be one of the most evenly matched main event match-up in recent history. It's really hard to determine who has an edge in this match-up, and that is certainly reflected in the Vegas line.

Dan Henderson is currently listed as a -130 favorite, while Rich Franklin is listed at EVEN.

In the other co-main event, Mauricio Rua is currently listed as a -370 favorite, while Mark Coleman is a +300 underdog.

All of the pressure will be on Rua to win in this fight. He signed a lucrative deal with the UFC and prompted lost to Forrest Griffin in his first fight. Many believe that Rua runs the risk of being cut from the promotion if he doesn't beat Coleman on the 17th.

There are currently two other matches being offered by betting right now. They are:

Alan Belcher, +240
Denis Kang, -300

Marcus Davis, -135
Chris Lytle, +105

I would expect that more fights will be made available for betting in the days leading up to the event.
