Why shouldn't he be a sizable favorite he is the champ and Machida has lost to people like Rampage and Phil Davis not even that long ago
Weidman is coming off of two dominating wins against the conscensus p4p #1 and is undefeated.
Machida is 5-4 in the last 9 with a rather unimpressive decission against Moose last time around.
Sure, Machida is 5-4 in fights against some of the best at a weight class higher - which is why the odds aren't even worse for him.
Odds are perfectly reasonable.
While the official result may have been a loss, he beat those guys.
Right now the odds are roughly at Weidman -220/ Lyoto +180. This seems way off to me. Lyoto is a tougher match up for Weidman than Anderson was IMO. He is much more elusive than Silva and he can stuff take downs. I think this is a very close fight that probably should be 50/50 in terms of odds. Am I missing something?

Because he's the only Caucasian American champion

They made the odds like that so every one can make bank after Lyoto wins. I only have a few hundreds buck to put on Machida, because I'm spending a shit ton of money on my trip to Vegas for the fight, but it's gonna be money in the bank. I'm glad Lyoto is the underdog.Right now the odds are roughly at Weidman -220/ Lyoto +180. This seems way off to me. Lyoto is a tougher match up for Weidman than Anderson was IMO.

Machida/Rashad was boring as shit since Rashad didn't rush in.Maybe if you are a Lyoto fan, regardless if he won or loss the fights were close and he never stopped back peddling trying to counter, you would think after he lost once because of this he would change it, but he didn't
I don't have much faith in Machida and honestly if his opponents aren't rushing forward stupidly his fights have a tendency to be boring
