Within a matter of days, reigning UFC light heavyweight king Jon Jones (pictured) has dropped from being a 10-to-1 odds-on favorite to dispose of Chael Sonnen at UFC 159 to only a 8-to-1 favorite to trounce Uncle Chael .
Sonnen, meanwhile, is a 5-to-1 longshot to dethrone “Bones” on Saturday.
From a betting standpoint, the co-main event between Michael Bisping and Alan Belcher will be the main card’s most competitive. Bisping is a -165 favorite, while “The Talent” checks in just behind at +135.
Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey hosts this weekend’s show.
