Ex UFC fighters are always going to be overvalued when they go fight in other organisations. Benson Henderson was a decent favourite to Koreshkov in his debut fight in Bellator which was mad.
Even the guy Mighty Mouse fought put up a better fight then most of MM UFC opponents. Plus you have the fact that there is no USADA testing in One. Be interesting to see the odds we get when Northcutt debuts if we get any at all,
There are many cases of overvaluing UFC guys when they go to Bellator (Koreshkov vs. Benson, as you mentioned, being the most extreme example)....
Benson was also -450 against Patricio Pitbull and was getting destroyed before Patricio broke his leg on a check, completely shot Koscheck was -250 in his Bellator debut, Josh Thompson was -250 against Patricky, Larkin -200 against Daley, -170 against Lima...
The top tier of orgs that can pay is right up there with the UFC, it's just that the talent level falls off a cliff by time you get to the 6-10 best guy in any given weight class.
