The next big UFC event is set to take place on Saturday, May 8th in Montreal. The Bell Centre will host UFC 113. On the slate, there will be six preliminary bouts before the main card of five fights. On the main card, Kimbo Slice will be looking for another UFC win leading up to the marquee bout for the Light Heavyweight title.

Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Mauricio Rua (+160) vs. Lyoto Machida (-200)

A couple of Brazilian fighters will square off again after meeting in UFC 104 last October. In that bout, Machida retained his belt in a controversial decision. Rua (18-4) hasn’t fought since that bout but his last victory in the cage was a notable one. Last April in UFC 97 at Montreal, Rua defeated MMA legend Chuck Liddell by a TKO. Machida is a perfect 16-0 in his pro MMA career. He has notable victories over B.J. Penn and Tito Ortiz. Look for Rua to gain some revenge this time around.

Welterweight bout: Paul Daley (+215) vs. Josh Koscheck (-275)

Daley (23-8-2) made his UFC debut last September with a TKO of Martin Kampmann. He followed up that victory with a win over Dustin Hazelett in his last bout in UFC 108. Koscheck (16-4) handled Anthony Johnson in his last fight back in November. With a little more experience in UFC bouts, Koscheck pulls this one out.


Lightweight bout: Jeremy Stephens (+160) vs. Sam Stout (-200)

Stephens (16-5) has dropped three of his last five bouts entering this matchup. He was able to stop Justin Buchholz in his last fight in September. Stout (15-5-1) will be fighting in his home country against the American Stephens. He defeated Joe Lauzon at UFC 108 in his most recent bout. With some support from the Canadian fans, Stout wins a close bout.


Heavyweight bout: Matt Mitrione (+110) vs. Kimbo Slice (-140)

Mitrione is a former NFL player who is getting prepared to fight professionally in an MMA bout for just the second time. He played briefly for the New York Giants (2002) and Minnesota Vikings (2005). In his MMA pro debut, Mitrione defeated Marcus Jones in December. Slice (4-1) became a household name a few years ago after some his street fights became an Internet sensation. After winning his first three pro bouts, Slice was embarrassed by Seth Petruzelli in 2008. Slice bounced back to win his UFC debut last December against Houston Alexander. Slice wins again in UFC 113.


Middleweight bout: Patrick Cote (-105) vs. Alan Belcher (-125)

Like Stout, Cote (13-5) will have some fan support in Montreal. The Canadian hasn’t fought since in 2008. In October of that year, Cote fell to Anderson Silva in a Middleweight title bout at UFC 90. He was the first fighter to make it into the third round against Silva in a UFC match. Belcher (15-6) was able to handle Wilson Gouveia in his last effort at UFC 107 in December. Cote pulls this slight upset in this one.

UFC 112 is set to take place on April 10th at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The event is set to take place at an outdoor venue for the first time in UFC history. The card has been billed as “Invincible” and will feature a pair of title matchups. Here’s a look at some of the top bouts on the card:

Middleweight Championship Bout : Demian Maia (+400) vs. Anderson Silva (-600)

Vitor Belfort was originally slated to appear in this title bout but a shoulder injury forced him to pull out of the match. Silva (25-4 record) has won ten straight bouts in the ring. His last defeat was over four years ago. Silva has been able to successfully defend his UFC title in six previous championship bouts. He defeated Forrest Griffin in his last bout in August. Maia (12-1) won a unanimous decision over Dan Miller in his last outing at UFC 109 in Las Vegas in February. In UFC 112, Silva retains his title belt over Maia.


Lightweight Championship Bout : Frankie Edgar (+500) vs. B.J. Penn (-800)

Penn (21-5-1) will be defending his Lightweight title for the fourth time against Edgar. In January of 2009, he lost in a Welterweight championship bout to Georges St-Pierre. Penn handled Diego Sanchez in his last match in December at UFC 107 in Memphis. Edgar (11-1) will be seeking the upset in his first title bout. His lone pro defeat was to Gary Maynard in 2008. Edgar stopped Matt Veach in his last fight in December. In this matchup, Penn has too much of an edge.

Welterweight Bout : Renzie Gracie (+350) vs. Matt Hughes (-500)

Hughes (43-7) has dropped three of his last five bouts heading into this fight. The former two-time UFC Welterweight champ was able to stop Matt Serra at UFC 98 in his last fight in May of last year. Gracie (13-6-2) will be making his debut in a UFC event against Hughes. He hasn’t fought in any MMA bout since 2007. The experience of Hughes is the difference in this matchup.


Lightweight Bout : Rafael Dos Anjos (+145) vs. Terry Etim (-175)

Etim (14-2) is an emerging young fighter in the UFC. He has won his last four bouts heading into UFC 112. The 24-year-old fighter stopped Shannon Gugerty at UFC 105 in England in his last bout in November. Dos Anjos (13-4) is another youngster on the circuit looking to move forward. In his most recent fight in January, he scored a unanimous decision over Kyle Bradley. In a tight match, Etim prevails.

Middleweight Bout : Kendall Grove (+115) vs. Mark Munoz (-145)

Munoz (7-1) was a college wrestling standout at Oklahoma State. In his last bout at UFC 108 in January, he stopped Ryan Jensen. Grove (11-6-1) is just 3-3 in his last six fights. He was able to handle Jake Rosholt in his last bout at UFC 106 in November. Munoz gets the win in this Middleweight battle.

UFC 104 Fight Predictions

October 14, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment


UFC 104 Preview and Predictions

The Staple Centers in Los Angeles, California will play host to UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun.  These two Brazilian warriors may be headlining the event but this card is stacked and features a number of entertaining bouts.  Some will step into the octagon looking to move up in their division while others are fighting to keep their reputations and careers intact.

Lyoto Machida vs. Mauricio Rua

Lyoto Machida is not only one of the most technically sound fighters in the UFC, but MMA period.  This guy is very elusive and strikes with such a fierce suddenness that makes him both powerful and scary.  Machida rarely takes a hit when stepping into the octagon.  Just ask Rashad Evans, who barely landed a single blow before getting knocked out in the Dragon’s last fight.

UFC 104 Betting Odds Preview

October 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment


UFC 104 Betting Odds Preview

UFC 104 invades Los Angeles, California on October 24, an event that is shaping up to be a great night for both the fighters and MMA fans alike.  Lyoto Machida is headlining the card, putting his Light Heavyweight Championship on the line for the first time against Maurico Rua.  This card features a total of 10 fights and 5 that have must-see written all over them.

Josh Neer (- -) vs. Gleison Tibau (- -)

With Sean Sherk sidelined because of an injury, Neer vs. Tibau has been made official for UFC 104.   Neer is coming off a UFC 101 loss via unanimous decision to Kurt Pellegrino and is a mediocre 2-2 in last four fights.  Tibau is coming off the heels of a close split decision defeat at the TUF 9 Season Finale this past June against Melvin Guillard.  While both fighters are desperate for a victory, this is more of a must-win fight for Neer who may need a win just to keep in his spot in the promotion.

UFC 103 Fight Predictions

September 9, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment


UFC 103 Preview and Predictions

UFC 103 will go down on September 19 live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.  Former Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin and Brazilian mixed marital artist Vitor Belfort headline a stacked  card in what is sure to be an intriguing bout.

Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort

Vitor Belfort returns to the octagon after losing his last two UFC fights to Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz.  Belfort should definitely serve as worthy competition to the veteran Franklin but interestingly enough, he has lost almost all of his stepping stone fights with notable losses to Ortiz, Couture, “Ice Man” Chuck Liddell and Dan Henderson.  Franklin on the other hand is coming off an impressive unanimous decision over Wanderlei Silva back in June.  If he starts to unload, he could score an early stoppage and deliver a crucial blow to Belfort’s underachieved  career.  Being that Franklin will have to be cautious of Vitor’s power, look for him to play it smart and pull out another win via unanimous decision.

UFC 103 Betting Odds Preview

September 4, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment



UFC 103 Betting Odds Preview

UFC 103 takes place September 19th at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.  It will be the MMA organizations’s first event to feature a total of 13 fights.  The card is stacked with many potential Fight of the Night candidates.  Here is a sneak preview of the betting odds for some of the most intriguing fights.

Rich Franklin (-155) vs. Vitor Belfort (+125)

The main event of UFC 103 is a match featuring MMA fighters with two very distinct styles.  Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort have both bounced back after enduring losing streaks and can strike with the best of them.  This one is sure to be fast, furious and possibly over by the second round.  With the odds being so close, you certainly want to be wise when placing your bets.

Josh Koscheck (-400) vs. Frank Trigg (+300)

Josh Koscheck heads into UFC 103 looking to regain his prominence as a top 170 lb. fighter with a victory over MMA vet Frank Trigg, who is making his return to the octagon.  Although Koscheck has a great shot at winning the fight, the current odds have him slightly overvalued.  After all, Trigg is simply migrating from another promotion, not awakening from retirement.  Koscheck exposed a weak chin in his previous fight so a mistake or two could easily lead to his demise against the wily Trigg.

Junior dos Santos (-135) vs. Mirko Filipovic (+105)

In a potential number one contender’s bout, Junior dos Santos will take on former Pride Fighting star Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. While Filipovic has certainly looked more impressive over his last few fights, he will have a difficult time keeping up with dos Santos who is nearly ten years younger and much faster.  Don’t count out Cro Cop, but the Brazilian just might dominate and end this one in a flash.

Paul Daley (-185) vs. Martin Kampmann (+145)

After suffering a concussion during an intense training, Mike Swick is out and Paul Daley is in against tough guy Martin Kampmann.  At 170 lbs., Kampmann has shined in the welterweight division while Daley has won 9 of his last 11 fights, only losing to ex Bodog Fight champ Nick Thompson and world renowned welterweight fighter Jake Shields within that span.  This is another potential number one contender bout that could just be our Fight out the Night.

Tyson Griffin (-280) vs. Hermes Franca (+210)

The odds for Griffin vs. Franca are pretty much dead on but that does not necessarily make this one an easy fight to bet on.  Collectively, these two MMA fighters have been involved in 6 Fight of the Nights.   Instead of placing a bet, you just might want to sit back and enjoy what should be a very entertaining fight.

Efrain Escudero (-160) vs. Cole Miller (+130)

Escudero and Miller are two young fighters coming in to UFC 103 with a lot to prove.  It is hard to how say how Escudero will fair.  Even though he recently won The Ultimate Fighter, it seems as if TUF doesn’t make ‘em like they used to as winners of earlier seasons have been far more successful.  With that said, Miller has looked impressive in his young UFC career and should give Esudero all he can handle.

UFC 102 Odds Preview and Fight Predictions

August 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment


UFC 102 Preview and Fight Predictions

UFC 102 will take place on August 29th, which is surprisingly only a few short weeks after UFC 101.  Many are dubbing this card as “USA vs. Brazil” due to the some of the fights taking place that night.  While Couture and Nogeira are featured as the headliners, there are a couple of bouts that just might steal the show from the main event.

Brandon Vera vs. Matt Hamil

The main card for UFC will begin with Brandon Vera vs. Mark Hamil.   This is one fight that could go either way. If Vera can survive Hamil’s strong take downs, he might be able to dominate with his long limbs.  If Hamil can get inside and put Brandon on the ground, it might be a long, grueling night for Vera.  Although Hamil showed that he is a much improved striker in his last fight, trying to go toe-to-toe with the slugging Vera would be absolutely foolish.  This probably will not be his approach because Hamil is a wise fighter that prefers to grind it out rather than going for the quick kill.  A decision wouldn’t be all that surprising but we predict a Vera win by TKO.
