Nick Diaz (Pictured) may have lost out on his main event spot at UFC 137 against welterweight king Georges St-Pierre, but the bright side for the controversial grappler is that he now faces better odds of leaving Las Vegas with a victory.
GSP was a significant 4-to-1 odds-on favorite against the former Strikeforce title holder. Since getting demoted to the card’s co-featured attraction against BJ Penn, Diaz is now an EVEN-money bet to beat the Hawaiian.
Penn is a slight -130 favorite to spoil Diaz’s long-awaited return to the big leagues.
UFC 137 takes place October 29th inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Nevada.

Bet $100 on Diaz and he wins, you win $100
