    Daniel "DC" Cormier's (10-0) opponent on Saturday at Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine is Dutch southpaw Dion Staring (28-7), winner of six straight and nine of ten. Vegas is not impressed and has put Cormier as a -2000 favourite to beat Staring, or 20-to-1. Translated that means if you put down $2,000 on Cormier to win you stand to win $100 on your bet plus your money back.

    Cormier's almost twice as likely to beat Staring as other lopsided fights including Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche (15-to-1), Anderson Silva vs. Stefan Bonnar (13-1), and Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen (10-to-1). However, the longest odds in MMA history belong to Antonio Rogerio "Little Nog/Minotouro" Nogueira when he faced then unknown kickboxer Sokoudjou at Pride 33 in 2007. Nogueira was a 25-to-1 favourite to win but was starched by Sokodjou in 23-seconds.
