Here are the Geoff Mackay Strikeforce Diaz vs Noons II betting lines that will be held on October 9, 2010 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, United States.

The main event will be a rematch between Nick Diaz and KJ Noons after the first bout was stopped because of a cut on the head of Diaz for the Elite XC 160lbs championship.

There will be the women title fight on the line as hard hitting Strikeforce champion Sarah Kaufman will fight Marloes Coenen. Kaufman is a Canadian fighter that fights for Zuma and is a purple belt under Adam Zugec in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu  who was under Marcus Soares and Carlson Gracie and is currently the #2-ranked pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world.

Below are the online betting lines for Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II.

Ron Keslar  -120    
Eric Lawson -110    

Tyron “T-Wood” Woodley -290  
Andre Galvao +230 

Sarah Kaufman -300  
Marloes “Rumina” Coenen +240 

Josh “The Punk” Thomson -165  
Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante +135 

Nick Diaz -265  
K.J. Noons +205 

The biggest surprise is why Andre Galvao is an underdog versus Tyron “T-Wood” Woodley. Galvao won the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship and IBJJF Pan American Championships multiple times and has also taken third place in the 2007 ADCC World Championship at both -77 kg and open weight. He trains at Black House with Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.

Andre Galvao is known as one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners of this century. He has amassed gold medals at every belt in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships, and also holds gold medals in nearly every Jiu-Jitsu state, national, and international tournament. He is a black belt student under, Fernando “Terere” Augusto, arguably one of the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu middleweight competitors of all time.

At +230 you should be a lot on Galvao to win this fight. Tyron Woodley is a wrestler but has most of his wins by decisions. He won’t be able to compete on the ground with Galvao . Bet heavily on  Galvao to submit Woodley.
