This stacked card in Brazil has seen a lot of line movement. Some kept moving in one direction, while other lines went up and down. Corey Anderson (-185/-150) got as high as a -333 betting favorite at one point against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (+145/+140), while some lucky Shogun bettors were able to get the Brazilian at +225. John Lineker (-150/-150) reached as high as a -250 betting favorite at one point in his bantamweight contest against Rob Font (+110/+140), who was as big as a +200 underdog at one point. Zubaira Tukhugov (-140-/-150) was also a -250 betting favorite at one point in his featherweight match-up against Brazil’s own Renato Moicano (+100/+140), with the return on Moicano being +200. The public heavily favored one side when the lines were released, but once Shogun, Font and Moicano became available at big underdog prices, heavy action came on them and brought the lines back down closer to the opening numbers. Most of the fights on this card have not seen heavy one-sided action, as many of the betting lines have tightened up since being released. Many of the bouts have appeared to have seen a fair amount of two-way action. The two fighters to receive heavy love from the public are Cristiane Justino (-1200/-1400) against Leslie Smith (+600/+1100) and Warlley Alves (-350/-570) against Bryan Barbarena (+250/+480), in what on paper are the two biggest mismatches on this fight card.
