Best place for betting on MMA?

Can anybody recommend a good site for opening an account to bet on MMA?

Maybe one with a sign-up bonus, easy payouts, reliable, good odds, etc.

Bodog?

Bodog looked good, but I don't think it's available to Canadian residents.

Will all online betting sites be like that?

Ok, so how do the odds work? I've never bet online before and am interested in doing so.

For instance,
Coey Hill -234
Justin Buchholz +214

Melvin -315
Dennis +285

What does that mean?
Say i bet 50 bucks on Corey and Melvin to win, how would i know the money i would get back?

I know the odds mean that you would have to lay $234 on Hill to win $100, and $100 on Buchholz to win $214 (plus your original bet in both cases of course).

A lot of sites I've seen will offer decimal odds, Pro Line style, which is what I'm most comfortable with. But if not, I think this is how you do it.

100/234 = 0.427 + 1 (original bet) = 1.427

1.427 * 50 = $71.37

So for $50 on Corey Hill you would win $71.37

For Melvin...

100/315 = 0.317 + 1 = 1.317

1.317 * 50 = $65.88

If you meant putting $50 on them to both win, like a parlay, I'm not sure, but it would make sense if you just multiply the odds.

1.427 * 1.317 * 50 = $93.97

I haven't seen parlays available for MMA though, but it would be nice if you could make them.
