UFC 134 Odds & Fight Predictions

August 15, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

For the first time since 1998, the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Brazil for UFC 134:

Silva vs. Okami. The night’s main UFC Betting event features Brazilian Middleweight Champion, Anderson “The Spider” Silva, as he looks to defend his belt for a record ninth-time against the last man to ever defeat him, Yushin “Thunder” Okami.

Every fight on the main card features a native Brazilian which will have fans at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, buzzing. All of the Pay-Per-View fun starts at 9:00 ET with hard hitting action also coming in the Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight and Lightweight divisions with names and former champions like Minotauro Nogueira, Shogun Rua and Forrest Griffin all scheduled to step into the octagon. 

Middleweight Championship Bout: Anderson “The Spider” Silva (28-4) vs. Yushin “Thunder” Okami (27-5)

It’s been over five years since Anderson Silva last lost a MMA gambling bout; coincidently enough, it came at the hands of Yushin Okami. Though there was, and is still, controversy surrounding Okami’s victory (due to Silva being DQ’ed following an illegal kick), the longest Middleweight Champion in UFC history will now have a shot at revenge in his home country of Brazil, where he has not fought since 2003. Silva (-500) is the best striker in the world and holds black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jude and Taekwondo; 17 of his 30 wins have come by way of knockout and he’s finished 12 of the men he’s faced in compiling a 14 fight win streak.

Though Okami is a strong grappler with a big gas tank and the ability to finish, all of the cards are stacked against him in this fight; the crowd alone should be able to score Silva the victory. If by some chance Okami (+350) wins, even by decision, it could very well be the biggest upset (and disappointment) in UFC history.

Prediction: Silva by KO (1st Round)

Light Heavyweight Bout: Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (19-5) vs. Forrest Griffin (18-6)

This is another wonderful rematch set up by Dana White and Joe Silva as Shogun (-200), another native Brazilian, makes his return to the octagon following his brutal loss of the Light Heavyweight title to Jon Jones back in March. Though Rua is just 3-3 in his UFC career, the former Pride Champion is lethal with his strikes, scoring 16 of his 19 victories by knockout.

Griffin (+160), who was once the Light Heavyweight Champion as well, defeated Shogun by rear naked choke in the Brazilian’s UFC debut, and enters off of back to back wins over Tito Ortiz and Rich Franklin respectively. Griffin is never one to back away from a slug fest and this war has “Fight of the Night” written all over it!  

Prediction: Rua by TKO (2nd Round)

Heavyweight Bout: Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira (32-6-1, 1NC) vs. Brendan “The Hybrid” Schaub (9-1)

Having never been knocked out in his first 35 UFC gambling contests, Minotauro Nogueira, an MMA legend, has been KO’d in two of his last three fights. Though just 35, Minotauro has taken a lot of damage recently and his career (at least in the UFC) could be in jeopardy if he suffers another vicious loss.

And sadly, that could be the case as Brendan Schaub enters the biggest fight of his career. Schaub (-200) has incredible stamina, determination and most importantly, power, with all but one of his victories coming by knockout. Though Big-Nog (+160) will be fighting in his own backyard, the 28 year-old American could easily steal the show.

Prediction: Schaub by TKO (3rd Round)

Lightweight Bout: Edson “Junior” Barboza (8-0) vs. Ross “The Real Deal” Pearson (14-4)

Edson Barboza has been extremely impressive since making his UFC debut last November. Six of Junior’s eight wins have been stoppages and he’s shown ridiculous striking ability with his legs since competing on the world’s biggest MMA betting stage; now he’ll look to do the same in his home country.

England’s Pearson likes to get inside and if the fight goes to the mat, he’s shown he can finish with an array of submissions. The Brit needs to press if he hopes to negate Barboza’s striking, but don’t be surprised to see Junior do just enough to stay undefeated.

Prediction: Barboza by Decision

Light Heavyweight Bout: Luiz “Banha” Cane (12-3-1) vs. Stanislav Nedkov (11-0)

Though Luiz Cane has a BJJ black belt, he’s recorded just one career victory by submission. Banha likes to throw his hands, but recently its cost him, losing two of his last three fights by KO; he does enter off of a KO win, however.

The Brazilian will be opposed by undefeated Bulgarian, Stanislav Nedkov, who is making his long awaited UFC debut. Nedkov can win with strikes, submissions and/or stamina, but he’s yet to face someone as aggressive as Cane. This should be a wonderful way to kick start the Pay-Per-View MMA gambling card!

Prediction: Cane by TKO (3rd Round)

UFC 133 Odds & Fight Predictions

July 31, 2011 By Matt Martz 1 Comment

Billed as a bout between too former adversaries, and marking the return of the UFC to Philadelphia after a two-year absence, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans will try to hold onto his No. 1 contender status against a resurgent Tito Ortiz in UFC 133 on August 6.

- Main Event: Rashad “Suga” Evans (15-1-1) vs. Tito Ortiz (16-8-1) 


- 
Date: Saturday, August 6, 2011
Time: 9pm ET/6pm PT


- Venue: The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

- 
TV: Pay-per-view, Spike TV (8pm ET/5pm PT)

UFC 133 Main Event

Tito Ortiz (16-8-1): +300 vs. Rashad Evans (15-1-1): -450

A one-time UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion, Evans was scheduled to face Jon “Bones” Jones, the current titleholder on the UFC 133 card. However, Jones withdrew with a hand injury being replaced with upcoming fighter Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis.

Then in a similar turn of events, a knee injury caused Davis’ camp to scratch him from the bout, triggering UFC president Dana White to turn his attention to “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy”, slotting him into the main event at UFC 133 against Evans.

Now, Ortiz, who is coming off a career-saving victory after earning Submission of the Night honors by submitting Ryan Bader at UFC 132 on July 2, will enter the Octagon in a rematch of UFC 73, when he and Evans battled to a draw, as the final scorecards read 28-28 from all three judges.

The win was Ortiz’s first since he defeated Ken Shamrock in 2006, as he forced Bader to tap just two minutes into the bout.

Meanwhile, Evans who became the Light-Heavyweight Champion at UFC 92 on December 27, 2008, was punched into unconsciousness in Round 2 of his first title defense fight against Lyoto Machida, resulting in his first and only loss in his MMA career. Since then, Evans has had just two more UFC headliner bouts, with his last trip to the ring being back on May 29, 2010 when he beat Quinton Jackson by unanimous decision on the UFC 114 card.

Pick: Ortiz +300- Ortiz will no doubt be carrying momentum into his rematch with Evans from his win over Bader, and after proving that his career is far from being over, the 36-year old submission specialist should be hungry to secure his position as one of the next contenders for the UFC light heavyweight crown. What’s more, he should hold an advantage having fought more recently than a rusty Evans.

UFC 132 Odds, Fight Predictions, Date & Fight Card

June 23, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

The next marquee UFC event is set for Saturday, July 2nd. UFC 132 will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. There will be five bouts on the preliminary lineup prior to the main card of five fights.

Bantamweight Championship Fight: Urijah Faber (+105) vs. Dominick Cruz (-135)

In the marquee match of the night, a title belt will be on the line. Faber (25-4 MMA record) will be making just his second appearance in a UFC event. The 32-year-old won his UFC debut against Eddie Wineland in March. With just a 4-3 mark in his last seven fights, Faber will try to get back on track against an opponent he has defeated in the past. Four years ago in Las Vegas, Faber stopped Cruz (17-1) to defend his WEC Featherweight Championship. Now, the 25-year-old Cruz will be seeking revenge for his lone pro setback as the current UFC Bantamweight Champion. In the rematch, the younger fighter prevails.

Middleweight Fight: Chris Leben (+145) vs. Wanderlei Silva (-175)

Leben (25-7), a former WEC Middleweight Champion, is just 6-5 in his 11 bouts heading into this matchup. The 30-year-old fell to Brian Stann in his last outing at UFC 125. Silva (33-10-1) has also had some struggles in his recent fights. The 34-year-old has dropped five of his last seven matches. In a tight battle, Silva comes out on top.

Welterweight Fight: Carlos Condit (-110) vs. Dong Hyun Kim (-120)

Condit (26-5) has won 11 of his last 12 bouts heading into UFC 132. The 27-year-old is a former WEC Welterweight Champion. Kim (14-0-1) has yet to lose in his brief MMA pro career. The 29-year-old South Korean came away with a unanimous decision in his last fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 125. In a mild upset, Condit gets a victory in this one.

Light Heavyweight Fight: Tito Ortiz (+350) vs. Ryan Bader (-500)

While Ortiz (15-8-1) is one of the biggest names in the sport, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion has failed to win any of his last five matches dating back to 2006. At 36, age appears to have caught up to Ortiz. The younger Bader (12-1) suffered his first pro setback in his last fight against Jon Jones at UFC 126. In a mismatch, Bader takes care of Ortiz.

Lightweight Fight: Shane Roller (+220) vs. Melvin Guillard (-300)

Roller (10-3) will be making his debut at a marquee UFC event. The 31-year-old was an All-American wrestler in college at Oklahoma State. Guillard (27-8-2) became an MMA fighter after a brief boxing career. The 28-year-old has won seven of his last eight bouts heading into the matchup against Roller. The favorite rolls in this fight.

Lightweight Fight: Matt Wiman (+105) vs. Dennis Siver (-135)

Wiman (13-5) has won his last three outings heading into this bout. The 27-year-old has a fighting style that is based in wrestling. The 32-year-old Siver (18-7) has also won his last three fights. In a tight battle, Wiman pulls a mild upset against Siver.

UFC 131 Vegas Odds, Fight Predictions, Date & Fight Card

June 3, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Just when you thought that UFC 131 was going down the tubes, Dana White saved the day once again. Former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar, was set to battle Junior Dos Santos in a number-one contenders bout after the two coached opposite one another in season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, but Lesnar was forced to pull out due to his ongoing battle with diverticulitis. Taking his place in the night’s main event is former top contender Shane Carwin, who will make his first appearance in the octagon since July of last year.

All of the hard-hitting UFC betting action on Saturday, June 11th, is set to go live at 9:00 ET on Pay-Per-View from Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Heavyweight Bout: Junior Dos Santos (12-1) vs. Shane Carwin (12-1) (UFC 131 Odds)

The winner will get a shot at UFC champion Cain Velasquez, so expect an all out war featuring the most dangerous strikers in the heavyweight division. Dos Santos and Carwin have 26 MMA gambling fights between them; only three of those fights have gone outside of the first round and neither fighter has been knocked out (each fighter’s loss has come by submission) and both pack heavy hands. The biggest question will be if Carwin’s motor has improved since his loss to Brock Lesnar last July. Carwin’s durability will also be in question as the American striker underwent neck surgery last November. Regardless, with Lesnar out of commission, you could not have asked for a better replacement.

Prediction: Dos Santos by TKO (1st Round)

Featherweight Bout: Kenny “KenFlo” Florian (15-5) vs. Diego “The Gun” Nunes (16-1) (UFC 131 Odds)

Though Diego Nunes has just one loss to his name, he has never fought anyone as talented and versatile as Kenny Florian. Florian’s combination of power, striking efficiency and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu make him extremely unpredictable, and his cardio is amongst the best in the world. Nunes, who has gone the distance in his last six fights, has never been knocked out or submitted, but that could very well change on Saturday.

Prediction: Florian via Decision

Heavyweight Bout: Jon Olav Einemo “The Viking” (7-1-0) vs. Dave “Pee Wee” Herman (20-2-0) (UFC 131 Odds)

Originally slated to face Carwin on this card, “The Viking,” Jon Olav Einemo now gets fellow UFC newcomer, Dave “Pee Wee” Herman, who has collected 14 of his 20 MMA gambling wins via knockout. Herman’s fight style drastically differs from that of The Viking, who has six submission victories to his credit, along with the 2003 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship; Einemo is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that should continue his streak of tap-outs.

Prediction: Einemo via Submission (2nd Round – Arm Bar).



Middleweight Bout: Demian Maia (14-2-0) vs. Mark “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” Munoz (10-2-0) (UFC 131 Odds)

Demian Maia has captured a UFC record, four, Submission of the Night honors in his career; despite losing unanimously, the fourth-degree BJJ black belt has also gone the distance with champion, Anderson Silva. Mark Munoz is a former Division I National Champion wrestler who packs heavy hands; half of his wins have come via knockout. Expect this fight to go to the mat, and perhaps, stay there through all three rounds.

Prediction: Maia via Submission (3rd Round – Rear Naked Choke).



Lightweight Bout: Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone (14-3-0, 1 NC) vs. Vagner Rocha (6-1-0) (UFC 131 Odds)

17 MMA gambling matches between the two and only a single knockout. Donald Cerrone, who was originally slated to face Mac Danzig, is Muy Thai kickboxer that has wicked submission skills; his new opponent, however, promotional newcomer, Vagner Rocha, is a BJJ black belt. The Cowboy still has more experience; look for him to ride out a victory on the mat.

Prediction: Cerrone via Decision

UFC 130 Odds, Fight Predictions, Date & Fight Card

May 6, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

After the largest Mixed Martial Arts event in history took place last month, ZUFFA LLC. and Dana White follow up with UFC 130 live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, May 28th. All of the UFC Betting action can be seen live on Pay-Per-View starting at 9:00 ET.

Lightweight Championship Bout: Frankie “The Answer” Edgar (13-1-1) vs. Gray “The Bully” Maynard (11-0-1, 1 NC)

The first time these two fought, Gray Maynard (+115) scored a unanimous decision in April of 2008. Since, Frankie Edgar (-145) reeled off five straight MMA betting victories, including back to back wins over former lightweight champion B.J. Penn, and Maynard remained undefeated. These two wrestlers did battle at UFC 125 on New Year’s Day, but after a five round war, the fight ended in a split decision draw. Now the score will be settled on May 28th with the belt on the line. Expect even more action this time around, as well as a winner, but don’t be surprised if the fight goes to the judges after another 25 minute brawl.

Prediction: Maynard via Decision (unanimous)

Light Heavyweight Bout: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (31-8) vs. Matt “The Hammer” Hamill (11-2)

Rampage Jackson (-280) was originally set to face Thiago Silva, but after a back injury forced him out of the contest, Matt Hamill (+220) was billed as Jackson’s replacement. Both are skilled wrestlers, but Jackson’s heavy hands and overall tenacity overshadow the wins to Hamill’s credit. Rampage’s 14 career knockouts give him the edge over The Hammer, and entering May 28th having last defeated former champion Lyoto Machida, the momentum is fully in Jackson’s corner.

Prediction: Jackson via KO (2nd round)


Heavyweight Bout: Frank Mir (14-5) vs. Roy “Big Country” Nelson (16-4)

Since winning the Ultimate Fighter Season 10 MMA betting tournament, Roy Nelson’s (-115) sole loss in the UFC has come against top contender Junior Dos Santos. Nelson’s large frame makes it difficult for opponents on the ground, plus Big Country has heavy hands to go along with a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. The problem: Frank Mir (-115) has the same weapons and is more battle tested with victories over former champion Brock Lesnar, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cro Cop. This fight is a toss-up that could easily go either way, unless someone’s gas tank hits empty.

Prediction: Nelson via TKO (strikes)


Heavyweight Bout: Stefan “The Skyscraper” Struve (24-4) vs. Travis “Hapa” Browne (10-0-1)

Stefan Struve’s 6-foot-11 frame has caused problems for opponents both standing and on the ground. The Swedish kickboxer has shown he can finish fights with his hands and via submission while taking plenty of punishment along the way. Browne, while owning a BJJ purple belt, is known for his heavy hands and knock out power. For proof, just consider the fact that eight of his ten victories have been KO’s. This MMA betting contest will not see the judge’s scorecards.

Prediction: Brown via KO (1st round)



Middleweight Bout: Brian “The All American” Stann (10-3) vs. Jorge Santiago (23-8)

Since leaving the UFC with a 1-2 record, Jorge Santiago (-110) has reeled off 11 wins in his last 12 fights leading up to his return to the promotion. Though known as a Muay Thai fighter, Santiago also holds a BJJ Black Belt and many submission victories to his name. Stann (-120), on the other hand, brings raw power and vicious hands that have scored seven wins by knockout to just one by submission (two via decision). Five of Santiago’s eight losses have come by KO, and it could be six of nine after UFC 130.

Prediction: Stann via TKO (1st Round).

UFC 129 Odds & Fight Predictions

April 2, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

The next main Ultimate Fighting Championship event is just a month away. UFC 129 will be held on April 30th at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The card will feature seven preliminary bouts prior to the five main fights.

Welterweight Championship bout: Jake Shields (+275) vs. Georges St-Pierre (-450)

Shields (26-4-1 MMA record) will be making just his second appearance at a UFC event. The 32-year-old American stopped Martin Kampmann at UFC 121 last October. He has won 15 consecutive MMA bouts to gain a title shot. Shields has a fighting style that has elements of wrestling, kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. St-Pierre (21-2) is the reigning Welterweight champion and a veteran on the UFC circuit. The 29-year-old Canadian has participated in 17 UFC events since 2004. The two-time UFC Welterweight champ has been able to defend his current title in five fights since August of 2008. St-Pierre’s style is influenced by boxing, wrestling and Muay Thai. In his home country, the favorite prevails in this one.

Featherweight Championship bout: Mark Hominick (+275) vs. Jose Aldo (-450)

As a native of Ontario, Canada, Hominick (20-8) will have the crowd on his side in this matchup. He has been able to get a shot at the title with five straight victories. In January, the 28-year-old Hominick defeated George Roop in a title eliminator match. His style is based on elements of kickboxing and Muay Thai. Aldo (18-1) will be making his UFC debut in this bout. The 24-year-old Brazilian was the World Extreme Cagefighting Featherweight champion when WEC was merged into the UFC last year. In the transition, he was declared as the first UFC Featherweight champion. Aldo’s fighting style is based on Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The favorite wins again in this bout.

Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture (+225) vs. Lyoto Machida (-350)

Couture (19-10) has won his last three fights heading into this battle. The UFC legend stopped former boxer James Toney in his most recent bout last August. At the age of 47, Couture is trying to recapture some of his past glory that has enabled him to be a five-time UFC champion in two weight classifications. He is set to tie Matt Hughes for most all-time UFC fights with 24. Couture has a pretty basic style in the cage that is based on boxing and wrestling. Like Couture, Machida (16-2) is a former UFC Lightweight champion. The 32-year-old Brazilian held a perfect MMA record until losing both of his outings in 2010. He fell to Quinton Jackson at UFC 123 in his most recent effort. Machida attacks his foes with elements of Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The younger fighter gains the edge in this matchup.

Lightweight bout: Ben Henderson (-115) vs. Mark Bocek (-115)

Henderson (12-2) is another WEC transplant. The 27-year-old American lost his last fight to Anthony Pettis last December. Henderson is influenced in the cage by wrestling and Tae Kwon Do. Bocek (9-3) will be eager to fight in his hometown at UFC 129. The 29-year-old will be making his eighth appearance at a UFC event. His style is based on elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kempo. In a tight bout, Bocek delights the fans with a victory.

UFC 118 Predictions – Vegas Odds

August 9, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment


The Ultimate Fighting Championships will hold its first major event in Boston later this month. UFC 118 will be held at the TD Garden on August 28th. A Lightweight Championship battle headlines the four bouts on the main card.

1. Lightweight Championship bout: Frank Edgar (+250) vs. B.J. Penn (-350)

In the main event, a championship will be at stake. Despite winning the title from Penn is his last outing at UFC 112 in April, Edgar (12-1 MMA record) is the underdog in the rematch. The 28-year-old is a former college wrestler. He also trains in boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Edgar made his pro MMA debut in 2005. He joined the UFC in 2007. Edgar’s lone MMA defeat was against Gray Maynard in 2008. Penn (15-6-1) won the UFC Lightweight title in early 2008. He was able to successfully defend his belt on three occasions before falling to Edgar. The 31-year-old has also been a UFC Welterweight champion in his MMA career. Penn became an MMA pro in 2001. With revenge as some motivation, Penn regains the title in this one.

2. Heavyweight bout: James Toney (+425) vs. Randy Couture (-650)

Toney will make his MMA debut in a big way against UFC legend Couture. The 41-year-old Toney is one of the more notable boxers to make the transition into UFC. He is the current IBA Heavyweight belt holder and has posted a 72-6-3 record in the ring as a pro. Roy Jones Jr. (loss) and Evander Holyfield (win) are among the opponents that Toney has faced in his boxing career. Couture (18-10) won his last bout against Mark Coleman at UFC 109 in February. At 47, the UFC Hall of Famer is still a headline attraction even though he hasn’t held a title belt since 2007. Couture made the transition into MMA after being a college wrestler at Oklahoma State. He made his pro MMA debut in 1997. Couture captured his first UFC title in 2000. Out of his element, Toney will need to get some more experience in the MMA before he can handle a fighter of Couture’s ability.

3. Lightweight bout: Gray Maynard (+115) vs. Kenny Florian (-145)

The winner of this battle will become the #1 contender for the UFC Lightweight Championship. Maynard (9-0) is on the rise in the UFC ranks. He pulled out a split decision against Nate Diaz in his last fight in February. The 31-year-old was a college wrestling star at Michigan State. Florian (14-4) has come up short in his two bids to win a UFC Lightweight title. He fell to Sean Sherk (2006) and Penn (2009) in his two career championship matches. The 34-year-old has elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai in his fighting style. Maynard pulls the slight upset in this contest.

4. Middleweight bout: Rousimar Palhares (+190) vs. Nate Marquardt (-240)

Palhares (11-2) defeated Tomasz Drwal in his last effort at UFC 111 in March. However, the 30-year-old was suspended for 90 days after the match for failing to let go of a submission hold in the proper amount of time. Marquardt (29-9-2) dropped his last outing against Chael Sonnen in February at UFC 109. In his most significant fight in the UFC, the 31-year-old Marquardt fell to Anderson Silva in a Middleweight Championship match in 2007. The favorite prevails in this matchup.

5. Welterweight bout: Marcus Davis (+160) vs. Nate Diaz (-200)

After losing two straight fights, Davis (17-6) rebounded to defeat Jonathan Goulet at UFC 113 in May. The 36-year-old made his pro MMA debut in 2003. Davis made the transition to MMA after being a pro boxer. Diaz (12-5) has lost three of his five fights. The 25-year-old was able to stop Rory Markham in his last outing at UFC 111 in March. In this fight, the younger favorite emerges as the victor.

6. Lightweight bout: Terry Etim (+120) vs. Joe Lauzon (-150)

Etim (14-3) is looking to bounce back from a setback to Rafael dos Anjos in his last bout at UFC 112 in April. The 24-year-old uses elements Muay Thai, Luta Livre and wrestling in his fighting style. Lauzon (18-5) is also trying to get back on the winning track. The 26-year-old fell to Sam Stout at UFC 108 in January. Lauzon’s style is based in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In a tight battle, Lauzon gets the win.

7. Welterweight bout: Greg Soto (+105) vs. Nick Osipczak (-135)

After winning his first seven fights as an MMA pro, Soto (7-1) dropped his UFC debut against Matthew Riddle at UFC 111 in March. He was disqualified in the match for an illegal upkick. Soto has a background in wrestling that has helped him make the transition to MMA. Osipczak (5-1) lost for the first time as a pro to Rick Story at UFC 112 in April in his last outing. The 25-year-old has a fighting style that is based in Shaolin Kung Fu. The underdog gains a victory in this fight.

8. Middleweight bout: Alessio Sakara (+220) vs. Gerald Harris (-300)

Sakara (15-7) has won his last three fights heading into this battle. He stopped James Irvin in his last bout in March. The 28-year-old made the transition to MMA after stepping into the ring for nine fights as a professional boxer. Harris (17-2) has won ten straight fights since his last defeat in 2007. The 30-year-old handled Dave Branch last month at UFC 116. Harris has a background in wrestling. In this matchup, the favorite steps up to win.

9. Lightweight bout: Nick Lentz (+115) vs. Andre Winner (-145)

Lentz (18-3-2) hasn’t lost an MMA fight since March of 2007. He stopped Rob Emerson is his last outing in March of this year. The 25-year-old made his UFC debut last year after beginning his pro MMA career in 2005. Lentz has a background in wrestling that helps him in his MMA bouts. Winner (11-3) defeated Rafaello Oliveira in his last fight in March. The 28-year-old made his pro MMA debut in 2006. In a close fight, Winner gets the victory.

Live UFC Betting Lines & Free Bonus!

After UFC 116 in July, the next major UFC event will head to the Bay Area. UFC 117 will be held at the Oracle Arena in Oakland on August 7th. It will mark the first time that the city has hosted a UFC card. The lineup features six preliminary matches with five bouts on the main card.

A couple of countries will be seeking bragging rights on the main card. All five bouts will feature fighters from the United States against Brazilian opponents. In a heavyweight bout, American Roy Nelson will take on Junior Dos Santos. A lightweight fight will feature Brazil’s Rafael dos Anjos versus Clay Guida.

Middleweight Championship Fight: Chael Sonnen (+350) vs. Anderson Silva (-500)

In the marquee bout of the evening, Sonnen (24-10-1 MMA record) will try to pull a significant upset. The 33-year-old has posted a 10-2 mark in his last 12 fights to get a crack at the title.

The next marquee UFC event is set to take place this Saturday at the General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This will be just the fourth time that UFC has held one of its major numbered cards north of the border.

UFC’s 83, 97 and 113 were also held in Canada. UFC 115 will feature six preliminary bouts before the main card of five fights. The marquee bout was originally set to feature Chuck Liddell against Tito Ortiz. Two of the biggest names in UFC have met on two previous occasions. However, a neck injury will keep Ortiz out of UFC 115. Rich Franklin will now square off against Liddell.

Light Heavyweight bout: Chuck Liddell (+115) vs. Rich Franklin (-145)

In the headline bout on the card, the 40-year-old Liddell (21-7 MMA record) will try to recapture some of his old glory in the underdog role. While Liddell is a UFC legend, he has dropped four of his last five matches. Liddell will be entering the cage for the first time since a defeat against Mauricio Rua in April of 2009. He became a household name in the MMA world by defeating Randy Couture for the UFC Light Heavyweight crown back in 2005. He was able to defend the title in four matches. The run included another win against Couture and a victory over Ortiz.

Liddell finally lost his title belt in 2007 at the hands of Quinton Jackson. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame last year. Franklin (26-5) isn’t as well known as Liddell but he is a former UFC Middleweight champion. Franklin has lost two of his last three bouts. In his last outing, Franklin lost to Vitor Belfort at UFC 103 last September. The 35-year-old Franklin made his pro MMA debut back in 1999. In a mild upset, we expect Liddell to pull this one out.

Heavyweight bout: Marko Filipovic (+120) vs. Patrick Barry (-150)

Filipovic (26-7-2) has moved to the UFC in recent years after fighting primarily in Japan during the early portions of his MMA career. In his last bout, he stopped Anthony Perosh at UFC 110 in February. The 35-year-old Filipovic began his pro fighting career as a kickboxer in 1996. Barry (5-1) has joined the UFC circuit after beginning his pro fighting career in kickboxing. He was able to handle Antoni Hardonk in his last bout in October. The 30-year-old won the Combat USA Heavyweight title in 2008. We expect the favorite to come through in this matchup.

Lightweight bout: Matt Wiman (-110) vs. Mac Danzig (-120)

Wiman (11-5) has dropped two of his last three bouts entering this fight. He was able to defeat Shane Nelson in his last outing at UFC 107 in December. The 26-year-old Wiman began his pro MMA career back in 2004. Danzig (19-7-1) is just 3-5 in his last eight fights. He did handle Justin Buchholz at UFC 109 in February. The 30-year-old is a former King of the Cage champion. In a tight match, Danzig prevails.
