Jon Jones opens at astounding -1300 favorite against Vitor Belfort at UFC 152
by FiveKnuckles.com Staff on August 26, 2012

Jon Jones will open at an astronomical -1300 favorite over new challenger Vitor Belfort who sits at a +700 underdog, some very enticing odds. You can find more sportsbook review information by clicking here.

Having turned down Chael Sonnen at UFC 151 on Sept. 1, and having been turned down by Lyoto Machida at UFC 152 just a few weeks later, it looks like Jones can finally set his crosshairs on a target, as the dominant champion recently accepted a fight against middleweight contender Vitor Belfort.

Though Belfort (21-9), a former UFC light-heavyweight champion, is certainly no stranger to the 205 lbs division, he hasn't fought at the weight since 2007. And at 6'0" he will most certainly be at a substantial size disadvantage to Jones who reportedly cuts down to lightweight limit of 205 lbs from 230 lbs. Jones will also employ a whopping 10.5 inch reach advantage and is 10 years the junior of the 35-year old Belfort.

These points were not lost on Vegas oddsmakers.

Wandering_Minstrel: I really hope Vitor knocks Jones out for two reasons... ONE - it would really shake up the LHW division and get plenty of contenders back in the mix. TWO - Don't lie, you know you want to see Jones get knocked out. :D Hizoka: I want to see Jones KOed simply because hes terrified of it. his comment "When you get KOed it on TV forever man"
