02-20-2010 09:23 PM:The public loves Cain Velasquez to take the main event at UFC 110. Velasquez, 27, is taking his first big step up against top five welterweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. "Big Nog" is 33 but he's got plenty of wear and tear on the treads. Tons of fighters from Frank Mir to Chael Sonnen rave about Velasquez as the future of the UFC heavyweight division. Bettors in Las Vegas have been listening.
At the Venetian Sportsbook, there's been heavy action on Velasquez. Big Nog is still a slight favorite at minus-120. There's also been plenty of play on another youngster, Ryan Bader. "Darth" is minus-160 over Keith Jardine, who enters having lost four-of-six fights.
Big action on the non-televised undercard has come on Brian Foster against UFC veteran Chris Lytle. Lytle opened as a 2-to-1 favorite but is now down to minus-150. The bettors also loved Goran Reljic and James Te Huna.
