So, who do I think will have the upper hand in our featured match ups?
Penn VS Sherk
Well, I really can not see past BJ Penn for the Championship fight and with BetUs offering odds of -230, neither can the bookies. Though you need to know that the fight game is a funny business, one good punch and the odds mean nothing.
Silva VS Jardine
The experience and sheer power of the man has seen Silva’s odds turn in at -185 points at BetUs. Whist I can see the appeal of a Silva win, I have a feeling that yet again, Jardine is going to surprise the MMA world and pull out a victory here. And with odds running at +155 points, it may well be worth a flutter. Odds of +155 are offered at bookmaker.com
Machida VS Ortiz
Betting is a funny business and people tend to bet with hearts and not their heads. For this reason alone, and putting my heart firmly in check, I predict a win for the undefeated Machida in this fixture. Seems like the Bodog bookies agree too, he is coming in with odds at -200 points whilst Tito is an outside bet at +190 at BookMaker.Com.
Gouveia VS Reljic
Gouveia versus Reljic is an interesting match, whilst the similar fighting styles could cancel each other out; I still feel Gouveia has the stand up to beat Reljic and the ground attack and defense to back this up.
Finally we have the potential slugfest that is Silva against Mendes and to be totally honest I haven’t any idea on who will win this one. Both are equally matched in style and experience, so I am just hoping the fight will be what it promises to be. No bets here from me, just enjoy it.
