Going into Saturday’s UFC 159 light heavyweight championship fight, challenger Chael Sonnen will be entering the Octagon as a staggering 17-1 underdog against reigning champ Jon Jones, the biggest odds disparity in a UFC title matchup since Georges St-Pierre defended his welterweight crown against Matt Serra in 2007 at UFC 69.
Despite possessing superb wrestling skills and a tenacious fighting style, “The Gangster from West Lynn” does have a few holes in his MMA game that you can bet “Bones” will be looking to exploit.
Sure, Sonnen may think that he has the upper hand in this battle, but the odds aren’t in his favor for a reason.
