This Saturday at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine takes on his mentor in former Light Heavyweight Champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as Jardine looks to take the next step towards a title shot in the division. Below you will find betting odds on the matchups as well analysis and picks.
***MAIN EVENT***
Light Heavyweights
My Pick: Jackson definitely has the advantange as fas as experience goes with a record at 30-7-0 compared with Jardine’s 14-4-1. They both have a similiar fighting style as Jardine actually trained at Jackson’s gym in preparation for his fight against the Ice Man Chuck Liddell. I think that Jardine is out to prove he is not a fluke by beating his mentor, but the reality is that Jackson is stronger and tougher than Jardine and this should be a quick a match. I think Jackson is sore about losing the title and wants to silence the critics. Jackson by KO in the 2nd.
Heavyweights
Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga -175 (risk $175 to win $100)
Shane Carwin +135 (risk $100 to win $135)
My Pick: Gonzaga had early success in his career with a stunning KO of CroCop, but since then he hasn’t been very dominate. This Shane Carwin guy is not very well known and the Heavyweight division is desperate for some new blood so perhaps there is an upset in the making. There is definite value in Carwin at +135 and come time of the fight I think you could find it for an extra dime at +140. Take the dog, I think Gonzaga is just an overhyped gorilla and catches one to the jaw and drops.
Welterweights
My Pick: I don’t know much about either of these fighters, but their is value on the favorite Pete Sell at -140. If you found this line then you already have enough information on them to make a decision.
Light Heavyweights
Matt “The Hammer” Hamil -180 (risk $180 to win $100)
Mark Munoz +140 (risk $100 to win $140)
My Pick: I like the Filipino and the value on the line.
