We’re only a few short hours away from witnessing “UFC 118: Edgar vs. Penn 2″ and the excitement couldn’t be more manic. Actually, the Gambling Gods would love to suggest a way to make tonight’s scraps a little more interesting.
After witnessing plenty of underdogs come through last weekend at “Strikeforce: Houston,” gambleholics have been itching for their next fix. If some longshot lovin’ is what they’re fiending, James Toney will be a heavy 4-to-1 ‘dog against MMA icon Randy Couture tonight in Beantown.
Speaking of odds-on favorites, BJ Penn is expected to reclaim his lightweight title from Frankie Edgar to the tune of -350.
UFC 118 takes place inside TD Garden in Boston, home of the loathed Celtics.
