UFC 86: 3 Fights Added

UFC Betting at Bookmaker.com — Where the Line Originates

The UFC has added and confirmed 3 new UFC matchups for UFC 86 which will headline Quinton Rampage Jackson versus Forest Griffin.

The 3 confirmed UFC matchups include Josh Koscheck versus Chris Lytle. Koscheck looks to build off his exciting March win over Dustin Hazelett at UFC 82 while Lytle will is coming off a recent lost at UFC 81 but he is one of the most game fighters in the welterweight division. Lytle has great standup skills and jujitsu skills which might pose problems for Koscheck. The early betting lines are not out yet but the staff at www.fighting-mma.com is already saying that Lytle will upset Koscheck in this fight.

Also confirmed is the UFC middleweight fight between Patrick Côté versus Ricardo Almeida. Almeida has incredible skills and is a legitimate BJJ black belt and he might have problems with the hard hitting Cote who will be coming off injury. Almeida returned to the Octagon and mixed martial arts in February, after almost four years away with an impressive win over Rob Yundt in 68 seconds at UFC 81. Cote is a better all round fighter but the staff at www.fighting-mma.com like the more accomplished grappler to submit Cote in this fight.

The last fight announced will have Jorge Gurgel versus Cole Miller. This will be a grappling matchup and we think Miller is the better grappler. Gurgel is supposed to be a BJJ black belt but so far we have not seen any type of jujitsu in any of his fights. Gurgel has been one of the most boring and overhyped fighters in the UFC and we question his skills on the ground. Miller has long limbs and great grappling skills and we predict an easy victory. Miller also have way better standup with his long limbs.
