Thought UFC 88 Breakthrough won’t happen until September 6, 2008 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia that has not stopped the online sportsbooks oddsmakers from putting on the online UFC betting lines for this event.

The main event has Chuck the Ice Man Liddell and former UFC light  heavyweight champion taken on Rashad Evans, the winner of the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighter 2 reality show. Evans is coming in asa ahuge underdog even though he has wins over Hector Ramirez, Brad Imes, Sam Hoger, Stephan Bonnar, Jason Lambert, Sean Salmon, Michael Bisping and went to a draw against former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz.

Chuck Liddell is coming off the biggest win of his life at UFC 79: Nemesis over Wanderlei Silva but before hat he was on a 2 fight losing streak. Is the Iceman back? Well the online sportsbook say that he is.

5 Dimes is the only online sports betting site that has some early online betting odds and for the Liddell fight and the betting lines for the Rich Franklin versus Matt Hamill fight. Though most online sportsbooks have these betting lines, 5 Dimes is the only sportsbook that has put out UFC 88 prop bets.

Some interesting UFC prop bets include +458 if Liddell wins by decision. If you are going by the odds makers and think Liddell will win why not make a prop bet for the Iceman to go the distance?  Betting +458 instead of -265 is a better bet if you think Liddell will win the fight but will win by decision.

If you are a real gambler you might want to try betting the fight might go a draw. Laying $100 to win +7500 might be a streak but stranger things have happened. Evans has gone the distance 6 times out of 14 fights and drew once.
