As the clock ticks away towards Alistair Overeem’s (Pictured) highly-anticipated big league debut, the former Strikeforce heavyweight champ remains a steady -150 odds-on favorite to beat Brock Lesnar in UFC 141‘s main event.
Lesnar, on the other hand, checks in as a slight +120 underdog.
Of interesting note, Donald Cerrone has dropped to a -285 favorite to collect his fifth consecutive victory of 2011. The “Cowboy” was pegged at -325 just last week.
Diaz is a +225 longshot to snap Cerrone’s torrid run in the card’s co-featured attraction.
The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts tonight’s shootout.
