5Dimes.com have just released their mixed martial arts betting lines for Strikeforce at the Playboy Mansion II which will headline Renato “Babalu” Sobral (30-7) versus Anthony “A-Train” Ruiz (21-11).

Strikeforce will return to entertainment mogul Hugh Hefner’s world-famous Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA with a star-studded lineup of cage fights on Saturday, September 20th.

The event will be chalk for of beautiful women and be set in the famous Playboy mansion which will headline some very good top MMA fighters like Japanese top ten fighters Mitsuhiro Ishida and Kazuo Misaki. Also fight will be UFC star Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Josh The Punk Thompson.

Though the stars are fighter their opponents are not. Most of the be stars will be fighting no name fighters and that has reflected the online mixed martial betting lines at most online sportsbooks

Sports betting wise the card it pretty lopsided and with a lot of the MMA betting lines at -300 for higher for most fights it would take a lot of money just to make a little. If there is an upset than the money that you bet will be gone in a hurry and you will be in the minus.

The good thing is that 5 Dimes is the only online sportsbooks that allows MMA bettors the ability to create parlay bets so now you can minimize you bets with parlays by offsetting large betting lines.

For example Josh Thomson is a-1200 betting favorite. Are you willing to shell out 1200 dollars just to make 100? I certainly would not. But if can off set those betting odds by doing a parlay with the Mitsuhiro Ishida  fight at -370. If you bet on those two fights a 100 dollars bet will net you 37 dollars and you don’t have to shell out 1200 or 370 just to make two hundred dollars.

Now if you are willing to do a 5 fight mixed martial arts parlay for all the fight with all the favorites if you bet 100 dollars you will take home 244.

Strikeforce is putting on easy fights so why not try to maximize the amount you bet with the least amount of money.

If you want to be on the moneyline for these fights the betting odds for Strikeforce are below which are provided by 5 Dimes

Renato “Babalu” Sobral -450
Anthony “A-Train” Ruiz +330

Kazuo Misaki -325 
Joe Riggs +255

Josh Thomson -1200 
Ashe Bowman +660

Justin Wilcox +300
Mitsuhiro Ishida -370

Cory Devela +170
Terry Martin -215

WEC-36: Hollywood, Florida – Live on Versus

5Dimes.com has released the online betting odds for WEC 36. To maximizes your betting profit, we at www.fighting-mma.com suggest  that do parlay bets for this event to lessen some of the betting lines to go in your favor.

Due to the Threat of Hurricane Ike to South Florida the WEC 36 fight has been rescheduled for November 5, 2008 which leaves more time for Paulo Filho (16-0) to get back into game shape.

The co main event has Brazilian Top Team fighter and top ten middleweight fighter in the world, Paulo Filho fighting tough MMA fighter and 2 time NCAA wreslting champion Chael Sonnen who many thought was beating Filho in their first fight. Chael Sonnen was winning the stand up battle but lost due to a verbal Submission by armbar which he claims he did not say.

The two are back to fight each other as Paulo Filho has just completed his substance-abuse recovery program due to addiction to over the counter drugs. Will the lay off and drug problem affect Filho? Is he the same pitbull fighter that was so intimating throughout his 16 and 0 career? The online sportsbooks are still saying yes as he is a -160 favorite but betting on Chael Sonnen at +130 is a very good value bet. But one thing to remember is that Chael Sonnen has lost 5 out his 9 fights to submissions to top level grapplers like Jeremy Horn, Forrest Griffin, Trevor Prangley and Renato Sobral.

But if you break down the fight

Striking: Chael Sonnen
Wrestling: Chael Sonnen
Grappling: Paulo Filho

The main event has top pound for pound fighter in the world Urijah Faber fighting Mike Brown. Brown is not a bad fighter as this ATT product has wins over Jeff Curran and  Yves Edwards. His loses have come to good fighters like Masakazu Imanari, Joe Lauzon, Genki Sudo, and Hermes Franca. At 19 and 4 Brown is a tough competitor. Remember Faber is not unbeatable he has lost in the past and there are still questions out in the MMA world if he has fought top levels guys yet. However his X Factor is his aggressiveness and overall skill. At -370, I thought the lines would be larger so Matt Brown might surprise a few in this fight.

One dog pick fighter to look at is Leonard Garcia who is a up and coming fighter. He will take on an aging Jens Pulver who may have seen better days. At +155, Garcia has much better grappling skills then Pulver.

The best value bet to make is Donald Cerrone -130. At 8 and 0 he might be a name people will be talking about in the next couple of years. He has all of his 8 wins all by submissions which means on the ground he is very dangerous. His opponent Rob “Razor” McCullough’s 3 of 4 loses have come by submission. At -130 this best bet to make in relationship to the MMA betting odds.

All WEC 36 betting lines below

Mike Brown +300 
Urijah Faber -370 

Chael Sonnen +130 
Paulo Filho -160 

Leonardo Garcia +155 
Jens Pulver -185 

Danillo Villefort +195 
Jake Rosholt -245 

Donald Cerrone -130 
Rob Mccullough EV

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.

From http://www.fighting-mma.com/mma-matchups/2008/ufc-88-betting-chuck-liddell-rashad-evans.php

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 Ultimate Fighter 8 Cast members have been reveled for season 9 that will headline two UFC heavyweight coaches that include UFC interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and former champion Frank Mir who is the number one contender for the crown. This year’s TUF members will be represented by the Lightweights and Light heavyweights.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will have a star studded line up helping him coach with pound for pound fighter best fighter in the world Anderson Silva and top light heavyweight contender Lyoto Machida while Mir will have one of the top BJJ grapplers in the world helping him in Robert Drysdale. Which team will prevail and who will the fighters want to coach form them?

The experience is overwhelming on the side of Nogueira but will the language problems lead the fighters to want to train with Mir and Drysdale.

The TUF season 9 will premiere on Sept. 17, 2008 on Spike TV will feature fighters in the 205-pound and 155-pound divisions. Like last year the reality show members will have to fight to get in the UFC house. After the season is over the two coaches will fight for the UFC heavyweight title.The cast members will represent some very strong MMA team like Shane Nelson from BJ Penn Camp,Team Renzo Gracie, Team Quest and American Top Team. Before the show has even aired the online MMA forums have been buzzing about who has already won the show. Many are pointing Joseph Duarte as the lightweight winner. If you look at Joe Durante he is a beast. Dana White has already commented about how he has found the next Anderson Silva and many believe he was referring to Joe Durante. The lightweight side is stacked with Jose Aguilar who is 17 and 3, Phillipe Nover and Shane Nelson as the early UFC betting favorites.

On the heavyweight side, the field is wide open but there are some notable names, or last names for that matter. Lance Evans (4-2) is the brother of TUF heavyweight winner Rashad Evans and Jason Guida (26-13) is the brother of Clay Guida will also represent the light heavyweight side.

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.

Today we are going to be talking about the North South Choke.

There has been a large number of posts about the north south choke at GrapplersGuide.com and for good reason.  This is a very good submission to learn and in my opinion can be extremely high percentage when done properly and set up properly. 

My personal favorite north south choke is the “no arm” version.  If you haven’t seen the video of me demonstrating this technique on YouTube you can check it out here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XEYLpWacg0

Let’s list some very important details about this choke:

-When you go for this choke it is important that you block your opponent’s face from turning into your body.  You can do this by turning your hip right into the side of his face and you can also push his face over with your hand of the arm that isn’t around his head.  If he can turn his face into you then it’ll be easier for him to work an escape

-When finishing the choke place your forehead on the ground for better position.  It also makes it harder for your opponent to place his hand under your face in an attempt to push on it to make space for an escape.

-Make sure your WHOLE body is flat.  Sprawl your legs back and sink your body into the ground.  Your hips should be flat on the ground and you should be sliding down right into your opponent.

-Walk your shoulders and body backwards as you sink.  This will help you tighten it up.

-Keep your elbows close to your body.  In most positions and attacks having your elbows in makes your position tighter and stronger.

-You should have your bicep of the arm that is around your opponents head across your opponen’ts neck.  Your shoulders should also be shrugged up as this also makes the position much tighter.

-If your position feels loose keep walking your body back, flatten your hips, check that your head is down, and that his face isn’t turning into you.

-If he is able to turn his face into you when you attack for the north south choke you can use your fist of your free arm to push his face over but make sure you keep control of his head so he can’t move.

-Control of his head in this position is key.  If he can’t move his head then he won’t be able to move his body.

I highly recommend that you practice this submission. It can be used by grapplers of all sizes and when learned correctly can be extremely high percetage.  Just ask Marcelo Garcia.  He hit this move 3 times alone in the last ADCC tournament.  While the choke is called the “North South Choke”, it isn’t necessarily set-up from the north south position. It is mostly set up from side control.  I’ve had success setting up from from side control, north south, scarf hold, reverse scarf hold, and knee on belly just to name a few.

When you start getting used to this attack you’ll realize how fast you are able to execute it.  Along with that, if you can’t get this choke for some reason, it works extremely well in connection with the Brabo Choke.  If you don’t know what that is I’d definitely recommend you do a YouTube or Google search for “brabo choke” as it’s another great attack that you can set up from many situation.

Well that’s it for this weeks Grapplers Guide tip.  Make sure you post comments or questions on the North South Choke YouTube page so I can help you out or even send me a personal e-mail at thegrapplersguide@gmail.com

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.

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.

UFC Parlay and UFC prop bets at 5 Dimes for UFC 88 Breakthrough

EliteXC

The first match between the two was a no contest for an Unintentional foul to a poke in the eye by Lawler on Smith. Both fighters will once again compete for the EliteXC middleweight championship. Like the first fight Robbie Lawler will be coming into the fight the favorite at -220 at Bookmaker.com. However the online MMA betting odds still have Smith as a huge underdog at +180.

Justin Eilers will try to become the EliteXC heavyweight champion as he will face Bigfoot Brasilero Antonio Silva who at 10 and 1 is a huge betting favorite at -550. The 6′4 265 pound heavyweight is very light on his feet and is very agile for a super heavyweight. He trains at American Top Team which means his overall MMA game will be tight.

The one underdog pick sports bettors might like to wager on will be the Brian Caraway versus Wilson Reis fight. Brian Caraway is going into the fight as the underdog +120 despite being 10 and 2 with 9 submissions. He will be fighting Wilson Reis who is 4 and 0 with 23 submissions. This will be a ground battle and Caraway’s experience should prevail despite being an underdog.

The fight of the night will be Nick Thompson versus Jake Shields. Thompson is the underdog despite being on a 12 fight winning streak. If you like to gamble this might be a great dog pick to make at +280. If will be tough as he will be fighting top ten welterweight Jake Shields who has wins over Hayato Sakurai, Akira Kikuchi, Dave Menne, Ido Pariente, Renato “Charuto” Verissimo, Mike Pyle Carlos Condit, Yushin Okami, and Jeremy Jackson. He is currently on a 9 fight winning streak, finishing his last 4 opponents in the first round.

Sheilds is a three time Grapplers Quest Advance Champion, Pan American Games Jiu Jitsu Champion, Pan Am Open Advance Submission Champion, Gracie Open Superfight Champion, and finished 3rd place at the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in 2005. He also has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by Cesar Gracie in February of 2007.

The up coming UFC does have some interesting bets like MMA newcomers Brock Lesner coming into the fight as a huge favorite over mixed martial arts veteran Heath Herring. If you read the UFC handicapping betting report for this fight you might want to wager on Herring at +190.

One of the most interesting bets is the UFC prop bets is the Georges St Pierre versus Jon Fitch fight. The online props betting odds to go the distance is +400. GSP went the distance with Jon Fitch’s teammate Josh Koscheck at UFC 74: Respect. Fitch fights like Koscheck’s style and is much better so going the distance is a really good bet to make at +400. To coincide with that bet a great UFC prop would be GSP winning by decision.

If you bet on the fight going the distance why not bet on GSP to win the fight by going the distance.

If you bet $100 on the fight to go the distance at +400 and bet $100 on GSP winning the fight by 5 round decision at +601 that $200 you wagered on will net you $1001 plus your $200 back.

That’s a UFC prop betting I would make which is a better bet to make than placing a straight up bet on GSP at -310.

For all UFC prop bets check out the odds below.

Georges St-Pierre -310
Jon Fitch +255

St-Pierre/Fitch goes 5 round distance +400

Fight won’t go 5 round distance -550 

St-Pierre wins inside distance -202

St-Pierre wins by 5 rnd decision +601
