UFC 88 Breakthrough Prop Bets

UFC 88 Breakthrough sports betting props bets are now out at 5 Dimes.com
5 Dimes is the only online sportsbook to offer UFC betting proposition bets, and they have just released exotic wagers for the UFC main event between Chuck he Iceman Liddell and Rashad Sugar Evans.

Many online sports bettors are not giving Evans a chance in this fight but he has been training hard with Georges St Pierre at his Pre UFC camp in Montreal Canada.

Fighting-mma.com UFC betting prediction for this fight was with the online sportsbook odd makers in that Liddell would win this fight but the staff handicapped that this fight would go the distance.

If you bet this UFC prop bet at 5 Dimes to go all three rounds and the distance the betting adds are Liddell/Evans goes distance +100. If you did a parlay in addition to this bet it would offset the large -255 on the Liddell bet.

As a UFC bettor the odds are just a little too steep to wager on Liddell at -285. If you want to wager on Liddell he will win this fight but there are much better UFC bets to lay your money on to get a better betting return. As a wager I would lay my money on a UFC prop bet for this fight to go the distance. Rashad Evans is a very game fighter with good cardio and will be well coached by Greg Jackson. Evans will stick and move in and outside of Liddell range.

If you are feeling lucky you can bet on the fight to be a draw at +5000. Hey stranger this have happened and remember that Evans has also drawn in the past with Tito as UFC 73 - Stacked

The final online betting lines are out at online sports betting sportsbook 5 Dimes for the upcoming UFC 87 Seek and Destroy that will headline top 170 welterweight fighter Georges St Pierre versus American Kickboxing Academy fighter Jon Fitch. The online UFC betting odds are distinctly in favor of GSP at -345 but there are many online UFC betting props for this particular MMA fight. If you want a UFC handicapping prediction for this fight go to http://www.fighting-mma.com/mma-matchups/2008/ufc-87-online-betting-georges-st-pierre-jon-fitch.php

Other UFC props in bet you can wager at 5 Dimes include the other two UFC main event fight for the Kenny Florian versus Roger Huerta and the Heath Herring and WWE star Brock Lesner fight. 

With the UFC event fast approaching the rest of the fighting betting odds have been released. One fight that stands out is the Dan Evensen versus Cheick Kongo fight. Evensen is a heavy handed fighter that has a good ground game and getting the underdog betting odds at +400 might be too hard to pass up. The staff at fighting-mma.com like this bet and getting it at +400 is a great bet to make. Lay some money on this fight for a great payout as Cheick Kongo is still a one dimensional fighter.

Another great underdog bet to make is Tamden Mccrory to beat Luke Cummo. We have no idea why Luke Cummo is the betting favorite. The only explanation we can figure out is that Cummo was on the reality show and he is getting favorable odds because he was on the TV show. Hat same explanation can be said for the Ryan Thomas and Ben Saunders fight as well. Because Ben Saunders was on the TUF show he is getting favorable betting lines. Though he should be a favorite in this fight getting Thomas at +240 is a steal.

WEC 35 will be on full display this weekend and BetCRIS has just put out the only betting lines for the event that will be held on August 3rd at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.

One of the top welterweight fighters in the world will be fighting and if you don’t know Condit he is a force despite not much limelight. The fight of the night will be Brock Larson versus Carlo Prater. At 22-2-1 Larson is like Condit and one of MMA’s best kept secret but he will be fighting a tough Carlo Prater who is 23-5-1. The MMA betting odds have Larson as a huge betting favorite at +255 and if might be worth a wager for two similar fighters.

If there is an underdog bet to be made however, Marcus Hicks +135 is a good bet to make. Hicks is 8 and 0 in the and won his last 3 WEC fights. I really don’t know why Varner is a favorite in this fight. I would lay a large chunk on Hicks to win this fight.

The MMA betting lock of the night is the 5 and 1 Xtreme Couture fighter Dave Terrel taken on 2 and 2 fighter Blas Avena. At -165 this is the best WEC betting lock. Another great bet to make is to wager on Todd Moore -205. Though the gambling lines are not as good as the Dave Terrel fight he is well worth the investment on a fight he should easily win.

For all MMA betting lines check out the online betting BetCRIS odds below.

Hiromitsu Miura +425 
Carlos Condit -575 

Steve Cantwell +285 
Brian Stann -355 

Marcus Hicks +135 
Jaime Varner -165 

Damacio Page +190 
Brian Bowels -240 

Josh Grispi +145 
Micah Miller -175 

Carlo Prater +255 
Brock Larson -315 

Blas Avena +135 
Dave Terrel -165 

Shane Roller +165

Thought UFC 88 Breakthrough won’t happen until September 6, 2008 at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia that has not stopped the online sportsbooks oddsmakers from putting on the online UFC betting lines for this event.

The main event has Chuck the Ice Man Liddell and former UFC light  heavyweight champion taken on Rashad Evans, the winner of the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighter 2 reality show. Evans is coming in asa ahuge underdog even though he has wins over Hector Ramirez, Brad Imes, Sam Hoger, Stephan Bonnar, Jason Lambert, Sean Salmon, Michael Bisping and went to a draw against former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz.

Chuck Liddell is coming off the biggest win of his life at UFC 79: Nemesis over Wanderlei Silva but before hat he was on a 2 fight losing streak. Is the Iceman back? Well the online sportsbook say that he is.

5 Dimes is the only online sports betting site that has some early online betting odds and for the Liddell fight and the betting lines for the Rich Franklin versus Matt Hamill fight. Though most online sportsbooks have these betting lines, 5 Dimes is the only sportsbook that has put out UFC 88 prop bets.

Some interesting UFC prop bets include +458 if Liddell wins by decision. If you are going by the odds makers and think Liddell will win why not make a prop bet for the Iceman to go the distance?  Betting +458 instead of -265 is a better bet if you think Liddell will win the fight but will win by decision.

If you are a real gambler you might want to try betting the fight might go a draw. Laying $100 to win +7500 might be a streak but stranger things have happened. Evans has gone the distance 6 times out of 14 fights and drew once.

Below are the 5 Dimes online betting lines for UFC 88 Breakthrough

As the Affliction Banned fight gets closer. Online sportsbooks betting lines for the Heavyweight Championship bout between Fedor Emelianenko versus Tim Sylvia have drastically moved

The opening on line betting lines for the fight opened with Fedor as a -400 betting favorite as almost all the online sport betting sites.

However as the fight draws nearer there has been a lot of movement on the lines as a lot of money has been placed on Tim Sylvia which has pushed the online Affliction Banned betting lines down to -320 in favor of Fedor.

Every though many consider Fedor to be the top pound for pound fighter in the world people are hearing claims that Fedor is overrated like what Dana White stated when he says he has not fought any top level competition in over 2 years.

The Fedor backlash is now pushing the betting lines down as he opened as a huge favorite.

If you want to bet on Tim Sylvia 5 Dimes the online sportsbook now has the lines set at

Fedor Emelianenko -320

Tim Sylvia +260

This is the best online odds in a long time. If you want to bet on Fedor I would do so now as the lines might move higher up.

However if you think Sylvia will win you might want to wait to set if the Fedor supporters jump on this online bet

Dreams MMA betting preview

Jake Thompson senior staff wirter for www.fighting-mma.com handicaps the upcoming Dreams mixed martial arts show in Japan on April 29, 2008.

Mixed martial arts betting at BetUS.com

Nakahara/Sakuraba

There isn’t a ton known about Nakahara since he hasn’t had an MMA fight yet, but he is a top level karate participant and that’s about it. Sak is a legend and although he has 7 TKO losses, only Wanderlei Silva really did it with one punch. Sak should be a million miles ahead in the takedown category and even if he does get rocked, I can’t see Nakahara having that world class takedown defense that other fighters have shown. Sak should be light years ahead in wrestling and submissions and should get the 1st rounder via submission. This one looks handpicked for the Japanese hero to advance. At -750, there may even be value on Sakuraba but I am not touching such a heavy ML without first seeing Nakahara in MMA.

Funaki/Tamura

Funaki has been around forever but unfortunately I think the game is starting to pass him by. He does have an excellent chin and good submission skills but his standup is not good and after taking 7 years off, he just doesn’t seem like the same fighter. Tamura is just as old and is actually a pretty similar fighter to Funaki. He’s also been fighting regularly and didn’t take the big amount of time off. I’d also give the cardio edge to Tamura. Both guys have nice chins, limited standup, good submission skills, and questionable submission defense. Tamura is -145 which accounts for the cardio edge and not being rusty. No bet here.

Mousasi/Kang

Mousasi has an excellent record but this is quite the step up in competition for him. He’s shown incredible KO power and a rock solid chin. He only has some submission skills though and has been caught with armbars twice now. Kang has solid standup but he did get KO’d in his last fight which makes me wonder how mentally prepared he is going to be. Kang is way ahead in the submission portion of things and that is his best chance to win this fight. Getting Mousasi to the ground and avoiding the big shot is another story altogether though. What this comes down to is that I think Kang will be able to get Mousasi to the ground and end it with strikes or a submission. Kang is just world’s ahead on the ground. I kind of want to place a bet at +225 on Mousasi in case he clips Kang but the ground skills are just so far apart.

Kin/Minowa

Kin is a high level K-1 kickboxer who has switched over to MMA and has done decently at 2-2 against some very tough competition. He is constantly improving but still has issues when put on his back. Minowa has been around a long time now and really should be a better fighter than his record shows but he makes some mistakes from time to time. Minowa’s standup won’t be close to Kin’s here and Minowa has been stopped with punches 9 times in his career so the KO or TKO is definitely doable. I’ve seen Kin’s ground skills increase like crazy since he started MMA and Minowa could be in trouble here because he can’t win standing and he will need to take Kin down to work his ground game and I just am not sure he can get in and do that. It’s definitely possible, but I’ll say Kin continues to improve and gets the knee to the face KO on a takedown attempt.

Talei Kin +265

Sultanakhmedov (Sultan)/Galesic

Sultan is a kickboxer and submission wrestler who has started off pretty hot in his MMA career, although finishing fights has been an issue. He fights smart though and has shown good all around skills. He has a muay thai background but doesn’t seem to throw to KO people as much as he tries to score points and keep himself balanced and away from danger. Galesic has more MMA-aimed muay thai and is an aggressive striker who won’t let Sultan sit back and jab. Zaig comes to fight and generally doesn’t last long. He’s pretty much the opposite of Sultan but he does have the KO power to end this. Sultan just fights smarter though and I’d give him the slight edge.

Magomed Sultanakhmedov +185

Oyama/Soon

Oyama is a big fan of getting KO’d or TKO’d and really hasn’t developed a consistent MMA game to deal with strikes yet. His submission game has definitely improved but his standup hasn’t taken a step forward. Soon doesn’t have much of a standup game either but is a good judoka who can work submissions on the ground. Soon should get top position with a throw against an over-excited Oyama and work from there. If Yoon does go down, Oyama doesn’t have the ground-and-pound or the submission skills to submit him with top position. I’d even make Soon a small favorite with bottom position as he likes to roll into armbars if given an opening. Yoon is -225 and that is about where he should be. No play.

Aoki/Calvancanti

JC -250

All day every day. He is the better fighter and was hurting Aoki before he got DQ’d for an illegal shot. I don’t see anywhere where Aoki can hurt him.

UFC 83 Results

Georges St Pierre regains his UFC 170 welterweight title with 2 rounds beating of Matt The Terror Serra in front of his home crowd in Montreal Canada

Below are the results from the preliminary UFC fight and the main event fights

Jonathan Goulet defeats Kuniyoshi Hironaka by TKO at 2:07 of the 2nd round. This was  a back and forth battle as each fighter landed and scored shots. In a UFC heavyweight bout Brad Morris beat Cain Velazquez by TKO at 2:10 of the 1st round. Morris showed his size and power over Velazquez. Canadian fighter Sam Stout lost a  split decision (29-27, 29-28, 28-29) to Rich Clementi. The next fight was a UFC middleweight bout between two Canadians  Jason MacDonald versus  Joe Doerksen. Their was bad blood in the pre fight conference and MacDonald backed it up with  TKO (strikes) at 0:56 of the 2nd round.

Demian Maia defeated former TUF show fighter Ed Herman by submission (triangle choke) at 2:27 of the 2nd round with a brilliant triangle form the top mount. Herman was over matched by pure grappling and he was asleep before the reef could stop the fight. Alan Belcher had a disappointing performance versus Jason Day who by TKO (punches) at 3:58 of the 1st round.

The main event fights had Mac Danzig win a great fight over Canadian Matt Bocek by submission(rear naked choke) at 3:48 of the 3rd round. This was a great fight as Danzig put on a beating but Bocek would not give up. Great heart by Bocek. Michael Bisping basically made Charles McCarthy eat his words with TKO at the end of the 1st round. Bisping landed a barrage of knees to McCarthy who could not stand up after the end of the first round and was forced to throw in the towel.

Kalib Starnes should be kicked out of the UFC forever with a pitiful performance as he ran around failing to engage with Nate Quarry. Quarry defeats Starnes by Unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-24). The Rich Franklin versus   Travis Lutter was not much better as Lutter forgto to show in the fight by not even training. If this was a 4 minute fight he would have won; however he gassed and basically gave up by round 2

And of course GSP regained the UFC welterweight title after a brutal beating of Matt Serra

For UFC bettors there was no real upsets for this UFC fight card as most money line favorites won their UFC fight
