There has not been a ton of UFC 216 betting movement going, as the odds are still relatively fresh on most sites, and have yet to even drop on popular site Bovada. Tune back in for the UFC 216 final betting odds to catch the major shifts and new moneylines.
Suggestions:
Walt Harris vs. Mark Godbeer: Heavyweight
Walt Harris tends to finish up in under 1.5 rounds, and Mark Godbeer might be asking for it here. If you’re not high on Walt Harris @ -310, then Under 1.5 rounds @ -105 is pretty piff.
