UFC Betting, MMA Sports Betting Information

Bookmaker.com has just released the online UFC betting odds for the UFC 92 The Ultimate fight card. Bookmaker.com is the first sportsbook to open up with online UFC odds for online sports gamblers.

The best pick of the night is for Wanderlei Sivla to beat Quinton Jackson for the third time. If you read our UFC match up report for this fight we feel that Jackson is not mentally prepared to fight and that he has too many weaknesses that can be exposed.

Another good UFC dog pick to make is for Rashad Evans to be beat UFC light heavyweight Champion Forrest Griffin. Evans is just too well coached to slip up while Griffin is a fighter that leaves it all out the window.

Our biggest dog pick is Mike Massenzio to beat CB Dollaway. Massenzio is a good ground fighter and Dollaway does not have a great ground game.

UFC Fight Night 16 or UFC Fight for the Troops online betting lines have been released by BetCRIS.com for all the mixed martial arts fights.

As expected Josh Koscheck  is a heavy favorite but if you read our matchup report and UFC handicapping predication for this fight we have Yoshida being able to submit the top ten welterweight Josh Koscheck for a huge upset. The fact that he just fought a month ago plus the recent turmoil between his MMA camp American Kickboxing Academy and the UFC they might be too much in Kos’s life for him to completely focus on fighting,

Another good UFC bet to make is the fight between Matt Wiman and Jim Miller. We like Matt Wiman 1.5u/1.3u. Jim Miller just got back from his honeymoon 2 weeks ago and took fight on short notice next day replacing Frankie Edgar. Wiman ever improving, more explosive and one of the best new stars in the UFC. Both fighters are well rounded, but we have to give a significant edge to the more prepared man in Wiman.

Dont count on an upset by French Canadain fighter Jonathan Goulet at +300. He has not progressed as a fighter and has not improved his ground game to fight a well rounded fighter in Mike Swick. At -370 the lines are steep but Swixk will wins this fight. To read the UFC handicapping report for htis fight go to Jonathan Goulet vs Mike Swick 

Yoshiyuki Yoshida   +205 
Josh Koscheck   -255

Jonathan Goulet   +300 
Mike Swick   -370 

Razak Al-Hassan   +215 
Steve Cantwell   -275 

Nate Loughrann   +145 
Tim Credeur   -175 

Matt Wiman   -115 
Jim Miller   -115 

Brodie Farber   +265 
Luigi Fioravanti   -325 

Johnny Rees   -110 
Steve Bruno   -120 

Brandon Wolff   +285

TheFight Network, a Canada-based multimedia company that provides boxing, wrestling, and mixed martial arts news and events, has been temporarily taken off the air in the United Kingdom. Their television partner in the U.K., Sky Television, provides satellite T.V. To over 8 million households. The Fight Network is part of their extensive line up.

I spoke with Stephen Gaynor, Senior Corporate Communications Manager at Sky Corporate, who had this to say:

“We’re not receiving a signal from TFN and in line with our standard

  process we have removed the channel from our EPG (electronic programme guide) listings.”

This is apparently strictly a technical issue, which both parties hope to resolve as swiftly as possible. The signal problem started in early December, and has continued throughout the last week.

The Public Relations department of The Fight Network responded to my inquiry via E-mail, and said:

“We are dealing with the signal issue , we do not have an estimated time for the issue to be fixed. I hope [the technicians] fix it before the holidays.”

We will continue to monitor the situation here at Fighting-MMA.com and  hope to have good news for U.K. fight fans sooner rather than later.

TUF 8 Finale Set, Betting Lines
Bet on the TUF Finale 8 at BetCRIS.com

The TUF 8 Finale wrapped up and Phillipe Nover will fight Efrain Escudero for the Lightweight (146-155 lb) six figure contract and 2 time NCAA wrestling champion Ryan Bader versus World Champion Brazilian Jujitsu champion Vinicius Magalhaes.

UFC interim Heavyweight champion  and top pound for pound fighter Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and the #1 Heavyweight contender and former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir jobs are done for now as they now prepare to face off with each other at UFC 92 The Ultimate.

To get to the finals Phillipe Nover defeated Joe Duarte, Dave Kaplan and George Roop to advance while Efrain Escudero beat Ido Pariente, Shane Nelson and TUF bad boy but turned bust Junie Allen Browning.

To determine the Light Heavyweight (186-205 lb) champion  Ryan Bader a two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University advanced with wins over Kyle Kingsbury, Tom Lawlor and Eliot Marshall while Vinicius Magalhaes beat Rashad Evans’ brother Lance, Jules Bruchez and Krzysztof Soszynski to earn his spot in the finals.

No online UFC betting lines have been set but Phillipe Nover who Dana White calls the next big thing in MMA will definitely be the favorite. The New York City nurse has great stand up and even better grappling is what Dana White calls Dana White as “one of the most talented kids I’ve seen on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ ever,”.

Ryan Bader should come into this fight as the underdog. He is a prototypical wrestler with great strength and who just lays and prays on his opponent. He is reminiscent of CB Dolloway who was defeating with in the finals against a good ground fighter. Vinicius Magalhaes is a World Champion Brazilian Jujitsu and he should have no problem submitting Bader in the finals. I would bet heavily on Magalhaes.

The last two episodes on Spike to determine the finalist went as the following:

Episode 11 - Make Him Pay

• Ryan Bader vs. Eliot Marshall
• George Roop vs. Phillipe Nover
• Ryan Bader def. Eliot Marshell via Unanimous Decision
• Phillipe Nover def. George Roop via Kimura

Episode 12 - Three Strikes

• Vinny Magalhães vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
• Junie Browning vs. Efrain Escudero
• Vinny Magalhães def. Krzysztof Soszynski via armbar
• Efrain Escudero def. Junie Browning via D’Arce choke

The UFC Finale fight card has also been set as Jason MacDonald will take on American Top Team fighter Wilson Gouveia. Also on the card will be Junie Browning, who despite his conditioning and skill makes it to the card. His attitude in the house was on of the worst ever displayed. In our opinion this person needs consulting or he should just head back to the trailer park.

Below in bold are the early www.fighting-mma.com UFC betting predictions.

Main Card: 

Phillipe Nover vs. Efrain Escudero 
Ryan Bader vs. Vinicius Magalhaes 
Jason MacDonald vs. Wilson Gouveia 
Kevin Burns vs. Anthony Johnson
Junie Allen Browning vs. Dave Kaplan

Prelims:

Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Shane Primm 
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Tom Lawlor

UFC 93 fight card has been announced and as expected Denis Kang will make his MMA debut in the UFC 185 pound division against hard hitting Alan Belcher. UFC 93: Franklin vs. Henderson will be held on January 17, 2009 at The O2, Dublin in Dublin, Ireland. It will be the UFC’s first event in Dublin.

UFC matchmaker gave the fans their wish by putting Marcus Davis on the fight card.  The Irish Hand Grenade is of Irish decent and he has already promised the fans a pussy-free slugfest with Chris Lytle in their home country.  For once the UFC listened to the fans.

The main event will be Rich Franklin vs Dan Henderson. Rich Franklin will get a test to see if he is really a top level contender. One of the most anticipated matches is Mark Coleman vs Mauricio Rua. There is bad blood between the two fighters as they last time they fought Shogun broke his elbow during the match when he fell awkwardly and Coleman pounced on him while he was hurt.

One of the best up and coming fighters is Rousimar Palhares and he will be facing UFC gatekeeper Jeremy Horn. Horn is suppose to be a grappling specialist but he is no where in the same league as Palhares

Main Card

Rich Franklin vs Dan Henderson
Mark Coleman vs Mauricio Rua
Alan Belcher vs Denis Kang
Marcus Davis vs Chris Lytle
Jeremy Horn vs Rousimar Palhares

Undercard

Antonio Mendes vs Andre Gusmao
Tomasz Drwal vs Ivan Serati
Tom Egan vs John Hathaway
Dennis Siver vs Nate Mohr

Early UFC betting lines are out at Bookmaker.com

Rich Franklin Even 
Dan Henderson -130

Mark Coleman +300
Mauricio Rua -370
