Dream.4 Online Betting Odds Released

Online mixed martial arts sports betting sites BetCRIS.com and Bookmaker.com have just released their online MMA betting odds for the upcoming Dream.4 in Japan that will take place on June 14 in North America.

Cro Cop was suppose to face off with Ralek Gracie but pulled out of this special grappling match. Alexandre “Cacareco” Ferreira has been pulled off the DREAM.4 fight card due to visa issues that prevent him from entering Japan. He was scheduled to face Russian fighter Alavutdin Gadzhiev. Ralek Gracie will replace Cacareco and take the MMA fight on short notice.

Gadzhiev enters the bout off of a stoppage victory over eccentric Japanese fighter Hikaru Sato at Pancrase Shining 2. Gracie’s last MMA action saw him armbar Katsuyori Shibata at K-1 Hero’s 9.

Now that the online betting lines are out there are some surprises. I am surprised that Gegard Mousasi is such a big favorite. Yoon is also a very dangerous striker and has a good ground game. I think Mousasi got lucky against Kang and will get beat in this fight. Place your money on Yoon for a big payday.

Also Jacare is a huge favorite but he is still unproven in MMA. Jason Miller is a great all round fighter and I would lay al lot of an upset of Jacare.

One bet to stay away from is the Shinya Aoki fight. At -800 that is just too much to lay on.

Look at both BetCRIS.com and Bookmaker.com for the rest of the online MMA betting lines.

Melvin Manhoef -115 
Kazushi Sakuraba -115
