This Saturday April 19th for the first time ever the UFC will be holding a grand event in Montreal, Quebec. It was one year ago when Matt “The Terror” Serra defeated Georges “Rush” St. Pierre by knockout to claim the UFC Welter weight championship. Since then GSP has been climbing back to the top and now the interim title holder will square off again against Serra to settle 
once and for all who is the king of the Welter wieghts. 
Many said that the first fight was a fluke and Serra caught the lanky French Canadian with a lucky punch, the odds makers surely feel the same way as they have GSP as HUGE favorite at -480 (risk $480 to win $100) . Besides the main event the night will also feature former Middleweight champ Rich “Ace” Franklin taking on the grappling master Travis “The Serial Killer” Lutter. Below are the all matchups of the night along with the moneyline betting spreads and my picks.
Welter Weight Championship
Matt Serra +330
Georges St. Pierre -480
My Pick: GSP is the bigger guy and he was a huge favorite in the first fight and now that hes fighting in front of the home crowd you can bet hes got all the motivation he needs, but at -480 its a suckers bet and the bookmakers want you to leave this alone. The value is on Serra at more than 3 to 1 on your money it has to be the play, but it doesn’t have to be your regular size bet, remember anything can happen and Serra has beaten this guy before, not to mention hes a French Canadian and it brings a smile to my face when I think about a Guido from New Jersey knocking the big guy out.
Middleweights
Travis Lutter +235
Rich Franklin -360
My Pick: Franklin is still just as tough as he wa when he ruled the middleweight division, but this Lutter guy has got my attention, his last loss was against Anderson Silva so thats understandable, but the guy is just an armbar specialists and I have seen Franklin get reckless at times which could lead to the upset if Lutter can get him on the ground. Again the favorite is just too expensive plus if Franklin stays on his feet its going to be a long night for Lutter because he will probably get pummeled.
Light Heavyweights
Charles McCarthy +225
Michael Bisping -350
My Pick: This is one of those fights where I will advocate laying down the big money for a small comeback. Bisping is a tough SOB and is well on his way to getting that title match with Rampage at 205 lbs. Bisping is going to destroy this guy without question, I actually feel sorry for McCarthy he can not be feeling good about this fight he lacks the experience needed and just doesn’t look to form. Lay down the big money on Bisping its the surest bet of the night.
Stay tuned for fight odds on the rest of the nights bouts.
