UFC 144 Odds: Edgar the Favorite over Henderson in Lightweight Championship

The UFC returns to Japan with a seven fight supercard headlined by the Lightweight Championship bout between champion Frankie Edgar and challenger Ben Henderson, as well as Quinton Jackson against Ryan Bader.

Edgar and his finely-tuned boxing style have him as the odds-on favorite to retain the title, but Henderson’s size and speed may be enough to make things interesting.

In the other bout, a battle of age against beauty, Jackson looks to return to the win column against Bader, who, after a successful beginning to his career, has struggled with two losses in his last three bouts against the UFC’s elite. Give the edge to Jackson’s experience here.
