UFC 130 is coming up this Saturday, and although it doesn’t have a marquee main event, this is still a card that should not be overlooked.

All 10 fights will be broadcast, and five of them will be free. The first three fights on the card will be featured on Facebook, the next two on Spike TV and the final five will be on the PPV.

UFC 130 did lose its original main event, which took away a good deal of luster from what was looking to be a very strong card.

In light of that, Rampage Jackson vs. Matt Hamill was moved up to the main event, and Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story was moved to the main card.

So although many people are overlooking this card, every main card fight has the chance to be a highlight reel knockout, submission or just a damn good fight.

And you may be looking to make some money on that. 

If so, then here are the odds and predictions for the main card of UFC 130.

Joe Rogan has been with the UFC since 1997, four years before Zuffa bought the then-failing company for $2 million and brought it to prominence. Rogan is the play-by-play man for the UFC for a reason, he knows MMA top to bottom and he loves the sport like no other.

Bleacher Report’s Sean Smith:

Recently promoted to the main event of UFC 130, a fight between Quinton Jackson and Matt Hamill has drawn some heat for its lack of appeal as a feature fight.

Traditionally, the UFC has done an excellent job of putting together fights that the fans want to see.

However, sometimes injuries and limited options can put the organization in a rough spot when it comes to matchmaking.

As was the case for UFC 130 when a title fight between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard was cancelled due to injuries to both fighters.

The finalized fight card is out for UFC 130 and I’m back to provide fight fans with customized graphics for each bout on this pay-per-view event. 

While the UFC has released its official poster featuring the light heavyweight main event of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt “The Hammer” Hamill, they do not provide individualized graphics for all ten of the bouts. 

These graphics are each equipped with the Bleacher Report MMA section’s stamp, but can be used on other websites provided that the user links back to Bleacher Report MMA’s coverage of UFC 130. Higher-resolution versions of the graphics are also available for download.
