EliteXC BettingEliteXC is capitalizing on the rematch between The Hands of Steel Scott Smith 13-4 versus Robbie Lawler 15-4-1 and on July 26th, 2008 at EliteXC: Unfinished Business the rematch will take place at the Stockton Arena in Stockton California.

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.
