The line is huge in favor of Edgar. I'm not sure it's quite that way. Sure Edgar is the former champ, but this fight is more even than people think. Oliveira is a tall, long dude. He has slick submissions and can finish on the feet as well. He may also be quicker. Edgar isn't known as a finisher, and the only guys Oliveira has lost too are finishers.
Not saying Edgar shouldn't rightfully be the favorite, but -550? I don't see it. I'll be throwing a bit on Oliveira at +375 for the upset.
This fight was made specifically for Edgar to win. I'd love it if Oliveira pulled it off though.
He may be worth the bet just on the fact that Edgar starts slow and his style is to usually to barely outpoint his opponent on the feet so you could get a close fight and you never know what the judges will do. 
Oliveira isn't faster. He's not going to finish Edgar on the feet or sub him. Edgar has the better boxing, footwork, and wrestling. Don't see any way Oliveira could win really. Edgar by finish would be the better bet IMO. 
Honestly I think this is an easy fight for Edgar but maybe I am wrong.
I don't like that bet, Oliveira didn't look too good in his last fight
This fight is a huge mismatch.
Oliveira's best win is Jonathan Brookins. Frankie Edgar's best win is BJ Penn.

Oh my bad. Forgot about that fight. Point still stands though. Frankie has better standup, can control where the fight goes, has cardio for days and can stick to a gameplan. He can realistically finish Oliveira who is NOT very durable.
I say Edgar by tko
I wonder how they will hype this fight? They can say Frankie is coming off a loss from a close fight with the champ but Charles got one punch KO'd. They wanna make it look like it's a big win for Frankie.

Oliveira is a finisher. I'd say he's the most aggressive grappler in the UFC. In my opinion he is a live dog in any fight he's in, especially when it isn't against a powerful striker. Edgar is the smart pick but Oliveira has a shot in my opinion.
Joshua King - Olivera is a whimp and has no killer instinct what so ever. He will wilt under pressure.
Come on man. No need to be a disrespectful douche to a fighter.
When I think about this fight, I picture Frankie winning by body shot.. A very very delayed ko, like in the cub fight.

Edgar is the smart pick but Oliveira has a shot in my opinion.He's also been finished the 3 times he's faced elite competition. He does look good against the mid-tier guys though.
If Jim miller dominated him Frankie will too.

I don't see how this is fight is similar at all. Edgar will probably look to mix takedowns with his striking. Oliveira got caught in a kneebar on the ground.

I'm stating I believe edgar to be very similar to Jim miller just Better everywhere. His wrestling will be a huge difference in this fight. So all Olivieras reach. But frankie fought aldo the best v striker at fw and did very well. I don't see Charles being a give challenge. I see edgar tkoing him or guillotining him.
Excuse my auto correct errors please.
In short. Edgar would be the best person he's fought by a huge margin.
