Brandon “The Truth” Vera was born in Norfolk, Virginia but he’s fighting out of San Diego which is not odd since most of the MMA experts look at California as the state to grow on the sport. At age 32 he is looking to give us another great show using his excellent skills in muay thai and awesome grappling technics that could be very useful againsxt a natural wrestler like Jones. Vera combines a great use of knees, elbows and overall kicks that could knock anyone out at any given time, this could be his most useful weapon to keep Jones away at least for a while. Vera’s grappling technics are also very good but in this fight it will not be convenient to use a close body contact tactic since Jones will be able to flip him in any way he can so the best for Vera will be to kick and punch as fast as possible to keep Jones guessing what will be next. Brandon “The Truth” Vera lost his last fight against veteran Randy “The Natural” Couture by unanimous decision and it was a close fight but I am wondering if he has actually bounced back from that dissapointing match.

Jon “Bones” Jones is a world class wrestler that a young age started in the MMA world and surprised everyone. At age 22 Jones has great skills as we mentioned in wrestling but also he completes the package with a set of Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai technics that could give him the edge. He can throw kicks and punches like the rest of fighters but he will be a real threat when he fights close to his opponent, his ground work is very complete for someone so young and I believe he will based his strategy on that, trying to bring Vera to the ground and go to work on him. The KO looks very hard since both fighters will have different agendas but I cannot deny the possibility of a Submission, basically the fight could go all the way if Vera takes care of himself and doesn’t let Jones get too close. Jones was born on Rochester, Ny and he fights out of Endicott, NY. Jones got disqualified in his last fight against Matt Hamill in heavyweight division so he dropped some of that weight and now he will make a move on the best of the Lightheavyweight scene. At his young age Jones has only won 9 fights and lost 1 so this could be the beginning of a great UFC career.

The other interesting event will be a heavyweight fight between Junior Dos Santos age 26 and Gabriel Gonzaga age 30. Now this fight is not the main event but I believe it will be equally exciting, both fighters are super strong, they have great boxing skills and the could knock eachother out in a heart beat. This will be a typical heavyweight match and i expect to see no more than two rounds, these events usually are quick, someone will get their lights out before the 2nd round is over.

FIGHT ODDS

JUNIOR DOS SANTOS -255
GABRIEL GONZAGA +215

My prediction for the main event is a tough one. Vera has the experience on his side but Jones is a better ground fighter so that makes me think twice about it. Vera could go all out in the first round but Jones can hold him easily by throwing him to the floor and work with him the rest of the time. My pick will be Jon “Bones” Jones -240. In the other match my pick will be Gabriel Gonzaga since he has more experience and hehas better skills than Dos Santos. My pick will be Gabriel Gonzaga +215.

HERE IS THE REST OF THE FIGHT CARD FOR THE EVENING:

Cheick Kongo VS. Paul Buentello
Alessio Sakara VS. James Irvin
Duane Ludwig VS. Spencer Fisher

UFC Live Vera Vs. Jones Odds and Predictions

The UFC takes Australia by storm for the first time and fans will be treated to explosive matchups featuring two early Fight of The Year candidates. In the main event, a world heavyweight title shot is on the line when unbeaten Cain Velasquez takes on former UFC and PRIDE champion Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira. Plus, UK superstar Michael “The Count” Bisping hopes to spoil the middleweight debut of the legendary ‘Axe Murderer’, Wanderlei Silva.

Location: ACER Arena, Sidney, Australia.
Time: 10 PM ET
Date: February 20th

This will be the first time the Ultimate Fighting Championship travels to the Down under land and the fans couldn’t be more excited about it. This is a very expected match between two great fighters, the challenger a youngster dying to prove he is worth it against a made champ like Nogueira that has won in many countries and has a lot of experience.

Minotauro Nogueira at age 33 has proven to the World that he belongs in the ellite of UFC and MMA. Fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil he will travel to Australia to face a young fighter that in my opinion is still not mature enough for this kind of challenge. Nogueira best attributes are incredible stamina which means he really trains like the champ he is, awesome jiu-jitsu skills that usually help him win fights and to complete a well-rounded fighter superb boxing skills that are tough to match. Minotauro’s MMA record is 32-5-1 with 1 no contest and with those numbers it’s very hard to imagine a fair competition. Nogueira has won 3 of his last 4 fights against big names like Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia and Heath Herring so that could be considered a good message to Velazquez “watch the hands and better move quick”. Some ranks and titles Nogueira have held are Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion. WEC Title in 1999, Rings 16 man tournament 2000, PRIDE Heavyweight Belt. Black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo (received both in 1999).

Cain Velazquez still undefeated with a record of 7-0-0 fighting out of San Jose, California but born in Salinas, California represents Nogueira’s chance to be back in the spotlight since he will be fighting against an undefeated well rounded and younger fighter. Velazquez at age 27 has same weight as Minotauro but the reach will be a problem since Nogueira it’s a bit taller so the logic indicates a close fight body to body but Nogueira is too experienced for that so Velazquez will have to come up with something incredibly clever if he wants this match to go in his favor. The scenario is set and since Velazquez won 4 out of his last 5 fights by technical knockout there will be no surprise if he tries to do the same to Nogueira but he has to be careful not to put down his guard and let Nogueira get too close or it will be over for Velazquez by submission.

FIGHT ODDS

ANTONIO NOGUEIRA +105
CAIN VELAZQUEZ -125

The prediction could be a long fight with an unanimous decision, i don’t believe it will be a Ko since both fighters are in awesome shape and their skills won’t allow the opponent to get too close to be able to win by submission or TKO. In my opinion Nogueira has more experience and he has more skills in his side o the point here is how much punishment can Velazquez take. My pick will be Antonio “Minotauro” Nogueira +105 to win by unanimous decision.

THE REST OF THE FIGHT CARD LOOKS LIKE THIS:

Wanderlei Silva Vs. Michael Bispin
Joe stevenson Vs. George Sotiropoulos
Keith Jardine Vs. Ryan Bader
Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Ben Rothwell
Elvis Sinosic Vs. Chris Haseman
Stephan Bonnar Vs. Krzysztof Soszynski

UFC 110 Nogueira Vs. Velazquez Odds and Predictions

The biggest sports weekend of the year gets even bigger with UFC 109: RELENTLESS. In the main event, it’s the clash of legends Randy “The Natural” Couture and Mark “The Hammer” Coleman finally square off in a battle for the ages. The UFC’s top two middleweight contenders, Nate Marquardt and Chael Sonnen, collide in a bout that will move the winner one step closer to a world title shot. Plus, two of the game’s 170-pound superstars, former champion Matt Serra and two-time title challenger Frank Trigg, meet for the first time in a pivotal matchup.

UFC 109: Relentless
Saturday, February 6,
live on pay-per-view
Mandalay Bay Events Center
Las Vegas, Nevada.

The main event brings one fight to be called the battle of hall of Famers. Both are old dogs of the octagon so this fight could be one of the greatest events of the year. “Couture vs. Coleman is one of those dream matchups that fans have always talked about,” UFC president Dana White stated. “And when you consider that these are two of the greatest wrestlers turned mixed martial artists ever, and it’s the first time that two guys who have already earned their way into the UFC Hall of Fame are fighting each other, this is not only an intriguing matchup, but a historic one.”

Randy Couture at age 46 decided to give us one more show and he couldn’t be in better shape for it. His impressive record shows 17 wins and 10 losses and his strengths have always been his wrestling abilities and his great clinch. He can still punch like a youngster and his power hasn’t decrease with age, actually it has increased a bit and may be that could be the card he holds for this fight.

Mark Coleman at age 45 refuses to retire as well. He feels there is something left in him still for one more match. He is also in great shape and let’s remember, these guys are the ones who started all back in the day with UFC 1 through 5 so the experience won’t be a weapon they can use since both have tons. Coleman strengths are obviously his experience on the Octagon, his wrestling abilities and his ground and pound skills that have proven effective years ago. His record is also impressive with 16 wins and 9 losses.

This will be a tough fight to predict. Both fighters come from the same place when it comes to fighting, they won’t give any advantages and they can knock themselves out at any given time if they decide to box each other so the question remains: Will the fight go all the way or will it be a KO? Well I believe the fight will go the whole length and at the end a unanimous decision will crown the winner. My pick for this fight will be Randy “The Natural” Couture.

These are the rest of the fights available on the card:

Preliminary Bouts:

Rolles Gracie vs. Mostapha Al Turk
Melvin Guillard vs. Ronnys Torres
Tim Hague vs. Chris Tuchscherer
Brian Stann vs. Phil Davis

UFC 109 Relentless Odds and Predictions

UFC presents “The Phenom”, former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort, makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon to face Rich “Ace” Franklin in the main event of UFC 103. Also featured on the biggest MMA event to ever hit Texas will be perhaps the most explosive heavyweight battle of the year when one of the sport’s most feared strikers, Mirko Cro Cop, takes on Brazilian knockout artist Junior Dos Santos.

Rich Franklin at age 34 is a total superstar on the Octagon, one of the most famous fighters in the world, will make his return facing a fierce adversary like Belfort. The “Ace” has excellent striking skills, good conditioning and he’s a well-rounded fighter. His 88 kg and his 1.85 m makes him one of the best of his weight class as he has been for a very long time. In his last fight Franklin defeated Wanderlei Silva by unanimous decision in one of the best fights I have ever seen, that shows the kind of fighter he is, he has fought big names too like Ken Shamrock, Anderson Silva, Evan Tanner, etc. His record is 27-4-0 which means this will be a fight to watch over and over again since Franklyn is the smarter fighter and he will use that be beat Belfort by UD.

Vitor Belfort was born at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and at age 31 has an impressive record of 12-5-0 fighting huge names like Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva (won by KO) and the fierce Tank Abbott which he knocked out as well. He retired for many years but now he is back and back for good, he needs to get some good fights and this is exactly what he was looking for, he expects a very good ground fight since he’s is one of the best in the World on ground skills, also his hand speed is incredible but his real strenght and the skill he will use the most will be the submission, only by doing so he will be able to beat a more experienced and smarter Franklin.

THE PREDICTION IN THIS FIGHT IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES I HAVE EVER MADE ON UFC BUT MY PICK IS VITOR BELFORT RETURNING TO THE OCTAGON TO TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY HIS.

Another good fights are:

Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Junior Dos Santos
Josh Koscheck Vs. Frank Trigg
Tyson Griffin Vs. Hermes Franca
Efrain Escudero Vs. Cole Miller
Drew McFedries Vs. Tomasz Drwal
Jim Miller Vs. Steve Lopez
Rafaello Oliveira Vs. Nik Lentz
Paul Daley Vs. Brian Foster
Eliot Marshall Vs. Jason Brilz
Vladimir Matyushenko Vs. Igor Pokrajac
Rob Emerson Vs. Rafael Dos Anjos

UFC 103 Franklin Vs. Belfort Odds and Predictions

Another exciting night of fighting awaits this August 8th at Wachovia Center, PA. This will be the first time UFC travels to Philadelphia and it is expected to be a great event, let’s check who’s in and what are they bringing to the table …

The main event will be BJ “The Prodigy” Penn Vs. Kenny “KenFlo” Florian both very talented athletes and fighters.

BJ “The Prodigy” Penn born in 1978 at Kailua, Hawaii with a record of 13-5-1, weights 155 lbs (70 kg) and his height is 5′9″ which makes him a great welterweight. His strenghts are excellent submissions and overall strong standup technic, very powerful and explosive fighter. In his last fight he lost against Georges St. Pierre by TKO so he’s a little shaken up by that and he will be eager to prove that he still got the power to be holding a title.

Kenny “KenFlo” Florian born 1976 at Westwood, MA with a record of 13-3-0, weighs 155 lbs (70 kg) and his height is 5′10″ with the experience on his side. His strenghts are great jiu-jitsu technic and dangerous elbows and that is a very useful tool in tight situations and in my opinion it will be a rough and tight fight, lots of locks, submissions, chokes and more, elbows will be a key ingredient to this match.

Taking into consideration that Florian has won his last 6 fights looks a little to his side but his last fight was on november 15th 2008 and that is a while back so BJ Penn looks like a better overall option. MY PICK FOR THIS FIGHT WILL BE KENNY FLORIAN, HIS SKILLS ARE A LITTLE BETTER THAN PENN’S AND HE IS MORE EXPERIENCED.

THIS IS THE REST OF THE FIGHT CARD:

Anderson Silva Vs. Forrest Griffin
Amir Sadollah Vs. Johny Hendricks
Kendall Grove Vs. Ricardo Almeida
Josh Neer Vs. Kurt Pellegrino
Shane Nelson Vs. Aaron Riley
Tamdan McCrory Vs. John Howard
Thales Leites Vs. Alessio Sakara
Matthew Riddle Vs. Dan Cramer
George Sotiropoulos Vs. George Roop
Jesse Lennox Vs. Danillo Villefort

UFC 101 Declaration Odds and Predictions

UFC brings us another night of exciting MMA night. This time will be a titanic battle between two giants, Lesnar at 6′3″ and 265 pounds against Mir at 6′3′ as well and 240 pounds. This event will be at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Nevada and it will be another classic UFC PPV night.

Brock Lesnar just started at UFC and he has been making a lot of noice at the heavyweight division. His record only shows 3 wins and one loss and his strenghts are incredible size, great wrestling ability and athleticism beyond comparison; he has knocked out good fighters too, he is scary when he is on the move and his punches are just like a hammer ready to do the damage, his power has no comparison, we will be able to see him pounding on everyone with no mercy, basically he is the most bankable star the UFC has for the future.

Frank Mir has alot more experience than Lesner, his record is 12 wins and 3 losses, his advantages are great submissions and an improved striking technic, this will be totally necessary if he wants Lesnar to at least fakes some concern, last time Mir defeated Lesnar with a Leg Lock and so far it has been the only loss on Lesnar career, the submission will the only chance Mir has against Lesnar.

The complete fight card is just out of this World, it has great matches and here they are:

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Thiago Alves
Jon Fitch Vs. Paulo Thiago
Dan Henderson Vs. Michael Bisping
Yoshihiro Akiyama Vs. Alan Belcher
Mark Coleman Vs. Stephan Bonnar
Mac Danzig Vs. Jim Miller
Jon Jones Vs. Jake O’Brien
Dong Hyun Kim Vs. TJ Grant
CB Dollaway Vs. Tom Lawlor
Matt Grice Vs. Shannon Gugerty

In my opinion the night will be spectacular, Mir and Lesnar will give us another lesson on why the big man is not always the winner, my pick is Mir winner by submission AGAIN and survive one more UFC night although he will receive some punishment just to step up and face a real threat, a challenge beyond anything else he has ever faced, he will be punch and he will be punish but the “smaller guy” will defeat Lesnar.

UFC 100 Brock Lesnar Vs. Frank Mir Odds and Predictions

UFC flyes to Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany to give us another exciting Mixed Martial Arts night. In this overseas event the former UFC middleweight champ Rich “ACE” Franklin will fight former PRIDE champ Wanderlei “THE AXE MURDERER” Silva in a dream match fans have been waiting for long.

Rich “ACE” Franklin was one of the most famous middleweight fighters of UFC, after he lost his crown he has been eager to comeback to the top and now he has the biggest chance in his career to prove what kind of fighter he is. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, US 34 years ago and has an impressive record of 26-4 and 1 NC and his strenghts are excellent striking skills, good conditioning and he is considered a well-rounded fighter.

Wanderlei “THE AXE MURDERER” Silva fought and won at PRIDE, his skills are incredible and I am betting he will be blasting at Franklin all night long. He was born in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil but he fights out of Las Vegas, Nevada, his record at this moment shows 32-9-1 with 1 NC and his strenghts are striking power and technique, intensity, and a great world-class experience that makes him a suitable contender.

The odds for this fight are

9551 RICH FRANKLIN -145
9552 WANDERLEI SILVA +115

Now the fight looks pretty even but in my humble opinion Wanderlei Silva will defeat Franklin by KO, It’s a matter of experience combines with youth, quite an unstoppable combo.

UFC 99 The Comeback Betting Odds and Predictions

Next Saturday May 23rd at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Nevada the UFC Light Heavy Weight Title will be disputed on the octagon by Rashad ”Suga” Evans and Lyoto ”The Dragon” Machida. Both fighters show great conditions to take the title home, let’s check them out

Rashad ”Suga” Evans, age 29 born at Niagara Falls, New York, USA but fighting out of Albuquerque, New Mexico holds a record of 18-0-1. The only draw in his MMA career was against Tito Ortiz and he has practically destroyed the rest of his adversaries, he won’t go down easily and his strenghts are Takedowns and Takedown Defense, he was also an All-American wrestler when he was in college.

Lyoto ”The Dragon” Machida age 30 born in Salvador, Brazil and fighting out of Belem, Brazil holds a record of 14-0-0 with an impressive win over Tito Ortiz. He’s a Shotokan Karate Brazilian Champ, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Champ, and he has made all his adversaries look terrible, even weak and that in a weight class like this says a lot about a fighter, he is recognized already as a rising star at MMA and he is considered by his piers as an amazing fighter.

The prediction won’t be easy but I feel the half japanese-half brazilian Machida will be the winner by Knock out since he has the advantage of a devastating kick.

This is the rest of the fight card for the night:

Matt Hughes 43-7-0 Vs. Matt Serra 16-5-0

Drew McFedries 7-5-0 Vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam 20-10-0

UFC 98 Rashad Evans Vs. Lyoto Machida Odds and Predictions

*Middleweight Title Fight

Thales Leites(14-1-0)  +220
Anderson Silva(23-4-0) -500

Analysis:  I had to go look it up because honestly I had lost count.  I’m talking about the number of times that Silva has defended his title and the answer is a whooping 7 times!!!  I mean this guy basically owns the Middleweight division and everytime I see him fight I feel sorry for his opponents and I can see the look in their eyes of “what did I get myself into” almost everytime.  On this night his opponent is a fellow Brazilian who specializes in submissions and will almost certainly try to take it to the ground as I don’t think he has the reach to fight it out on his feet with Silva, plus who in the hell would want to fight Silva on their feet.  All this guy does is knock people out, and he doesn’t with such finess that its scary…  I don’t think the young buck has what is takes to pull off the W, but if he can take it to the ground (which I highly doubt) then I think he can at least make a fight out of it and get through the first round or 2.  If he can’t then he will be waking up with a headache in the morning.  Based on value its not worth taking Silva at -500 and at +220 there is not enough incentive to throw down some fun money on Leites in the unlikely event that he connects in just the right spot to drop Silva.  So basically I would stay away from this one, but if you absolutely have to bet then you should throw it down on Silva, he is just to strong and has the reach to end Leites from a distance…

Light Heavyweights

Chuck Liddell(21-6-0)   -185
Mauricio Rua (17-3-0)  +145

Analysis:  So the Iceman has been on bit of a slump lately losing 3 out of his last 4 fights including a brutal KO at the hands of Rashad Evens.  Rua is coming off a win from last January against from Mark Coleman, but he was a heavy favorite and this was to be expected.  This is a tough one to call, both fighters like to stand up and strike, but when it comes to the ground game I think Rua has the advantage and Liddell should be wary of it.  Honestly I think Chuck should have retired or just faded away after some pretty big losses, but he seems determined to show everyone that he is not over the hill yet (in UFC fighter terms) so you have to show some respect as the odds makers have obviously done favoring him at -185 which is not too expensive to lay $ on.  On the other hand there is some great value on a much younger and some (including I) would say, hungrier Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.  I think Chucks sheer determination and toughness will keep him in the fight, but if he gets sloppy and goes to the ground or pursues a reckless standup striking strategy he may find himself waking up on the mat after everyone has already left the building, AGAIN!!!  I would take the dog in this one, because I am no longer a believer in the Iceman…

Light Heavyweights

Krzysztof Soszynski(17-9-1)  -165
Brain Stann(6-1-0)  +130

Heavyweights

Cheick Kongo(23-4-1)  -290
Antoni Hardonk(8-4-0)  +220

Light Heavyweights

Steve Cantwell(7-1-0)  +190
Luiz Cane(10-1-1)  -250

UFC 97 Redemption: Silva vs Leites Betting Odds and Picks

***MAIN EVENT***

Light Heavyweights

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson  -315  (risk $315 to win $100)
Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine  +235 (risk $100 to win $235)

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

Pete “Drago” Sell  -140 (risk $140 to win $100)
Matt “The Immortal” Brown +110 (risk $100 to win $110)

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.
