The next major UFC event is set to take place on July 3rd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The lineup will feature six preliminary bouts before the main card of five fights. A heavyweight championship battle including Brock Lesnar is the marquee event.

Heavyweight Championship Fight: Shane Carwin (+160) vs. Brock Lesnar (-200)

Carwin (12-0 MMA record) captured the interim heavyweight belt in his last fight at UFC 111 in March. The 35-year-old can really make a name for himself with an upset in UFC 116. Lesnar (4-1) has emerged as one of the top draws in the UFC ranks. He made a name for himself in the early part of last decade as a wrestler for WWE. In 2004, Lesnar attempted to begin a career in the NFL. He played in some preseason games for the Minnesota Vikings but couldn’t make the regular season roster. Lesnar captured the heavyweight title with a victory over MMA legend Randy Couture at UFC 91 in 2008. In his first defense of the title last year, the 32-year-old Lesnar defeated Frank Mir at UFC 100 to retain his belt. His only MMA defeat had been to Mir at UFC 81. Lesnar defends his title again versus Carwin. (Bet on UFC 116 Today)


Middleweight Fight: Yoshihiro Akiyama (+140) vs. Wanderlei Silva (-170)

After beginning his MMA career on the K-1 circuit in Japan, Akiyama (13-1) pulled out a win over Alan Belcher in his UFC debut last July. The 34-year-old made the transition to MMA from Judo. Silva (33-10-1) will celebrate his 34th birthday in the cage against Akiyama. His most notable bout came back in 2000. Silva fell to Tito Ortiz for the light heavyweight crown at UFC 25 in Tokyo. Recently, he has dropped five of his last seven bouts. During the stretch, Sliva has lost to Chuck Liddell and Quinton Jackson. Look for Akiyama to pull the upset in this one.

Light Heavyweight Fightt: Stephan Bonnar (+185) vs. Krzysztof Soszynski (-235)

In a rematch from UFC 110 in Sydney, Australia from earlier this year, Bonnar (11-7) will be seeking some revenge against Soszynski. In their last bout, Soszynski scored a 3rd round TKO over Bonnar. The 33-year-old Bonnar is just 2-5 in his last seven fights. While Bonnar hasn’t had much success recently, Soszynski (19-9-1) has been on a good run. The 32-year-old has won seven of his last eight matches. Soszynski holds off Bonnar again. (Bet on UFC 116 Today)


Heavyweight Fight: Chris Tuchscherer (+250) vs. Brendan Schaub (-350)

After dropping his UFC debut last August, Tuchscherer (18-2) rebounded to defeat Tim Hague in his last outing at UFC 109 earlier this year. The 34-year-old began his pro MMA career back in 2004. Schaub (5-1) has made the transition to MMA after a football background. The 27-year-old was a fullback for the Colorado Buffaloes in college. In the pro ranks, he was member of the Buffalo Bills practice squad and played in the AFL. In his last UFC match, Schaub defeated Chase Gormley in March. The favorite rolls in this matchup.

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.

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.
