In main card action, Matt Mitrione looks to continue his undefeated rise through the 265-pound ranks when he takes on the once-beaten Christian Morecraft.
"Meathead" lumbers in as a hefty -275 favorite.
That leaves Morecraft as a +215 underdog despite having twice the experience and a 100-percent finishing rate. Mitrione has gone to the scorecards once in his UFC career.
Are the oddsmakers calling it like they see it? Or playing it safe? Take a look at how these two heavyweights stack up:
