UFC Fight Night 24: Noguiera Vs. Davis happens this Saturday night in Seattle and for once, we completely agree with the betting lines.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (+210) vs. Phil Davis (-280):

Phil Davis is a late replacement for Tito Ortiz in this headlining bout against Antonio “Lil’ Nog” Nogueira but is still rightfully the favorite. Both Lil’ Nog and Davis are big guys, but as we saw in Nogueira’s fight against Ryan Bader, he can be taken down and Davis just has the upper wrestling hand here.

Dan Hardy (+155) vs. Anthony Johnson (-190):

In a win we feel will also happen on the ground… Dan Hardy has proven he can stand and bang, but he likely will be not have the defense against the bigger Anthony Johnson who should easily take him to the ground and use his prime wrestling skills to win this fight.

DaMarques Johnson (+200) vs. Amir Sadollah (-260):

DaMarques Johnson has yet to demonstrate consistency on the ground or standing. Amir Sadollah should have solid takedown defense and his kickboxing arsenal to grind out the victory.

Eddie Wineland Worth Laying the Dog Money at +330

Urijah Faber is the strong favorite at -430 (and some cases -500) against his opponent, Eddie Wineland but it’s hard to accept Wineland as such a huge underdog. The great part is, he’s definitely worth laying some cash on at a +300 or more value. Wineland is still a virtually unknown 135er but […]

Urijah Faber is the strong favorite at -430 (and some cases -500) against his opponent, Eddie Wineland but it’s hard to accept Wineland as such a huge underdog. The great part is, he’s definitely worth laying some cash on at a +300 or more value. Wineland is still a virtually unknown 135er but he’s on a four fight win streak. Arguably, he hasn’t faced anywhere near top competition. The most recognizable name he’s beaten is George Roop who at 6′1″ with a natural weight of about 160, proved he couldn’t handle that low of a weight class.

But whether or not Wineland has faced top competition should be less of an issue, as we’ve seen Jon Jones tear apart competitors in both the lowest rankings and the top ten. This is Wineland’s first opportunity to mix it up with a well known fighter. Urijah Faber moved back down to Bantamweight and choked out Takeya Mizugaki within the first round, but was it enough to tell us he’s unstoppable in that division? The sportsbooks seem to think so, but the bottom line is we’ve got two strong wrestlers with demonstrated knockout powers pinned against each other this Saturday night and if you’re a betting person, Wineland is worth the gamble.

“Shogun” Rua is Your UFC 128 Best Value Bet

Even Dana White says “the fact that [Maurico “Shogun” Rua] is the underdog is crazy!” But the online sportsbooks have made Shogun the dog by as much as +165. The current UFC Light Heavyweight Champ feels disrespected and rightfully so. Jon “Bones” Jones has proved himself to be a phenomenal athlete and worthy […]

Even Dana White says “the fact that [Maurico “Shogun” Rua] is the underdog is crazy!” But the online sportsbooks have made Shogun the dog by as much as +165. The current UFC Light Heavyweight Champ feels disrespected and rightfully so. Jon “Bones” Jones has proved himself to be a phenomenal athlete and worthy opponent but this is his first crack at a Top 5 fighter in the UFC and this particular Top 5 fighter is actually number 1! Rua established himself as the Light Heavyweight Champion by soundly handing Lyoto Machida his first professional loss with a knockout in the first round of UFC 113.

Shogun is a former Pride Champion, a current UFC Champion and only 6 years older than his 23 year old opponent. Shogun can beat Jon Jones by taking his legs out in similar fashion we saw him batter Machida’s legs. He also has proved several times in his career that he has knockout powerful punches. All eyes are on Jones this Saturday night. But this is also Jon Jones’ fight to lose. In a fight that should be at least EVEN in the books, take advantage of the Rua value.

MiddleEasy passes along the helpful info that at least one online sportsbook, 2betdsi.com, is offering a prop bet on who will win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, even though only two quarterfinal matches are actually scheduled at this point. Interestingly, some of the numbers have wildly inflated since they were first posted at the beginning of the week. Check out the latest figures below. If you’re an MMA betting noob, the ‘+’ figure means that you would make that many dollars in profit for a $100 wager.

FEDOR EMELIANENKO +160 [opened at +125]
ALISTAIR OVEREEM +200
JOSH BARNETT +400
ANDREI ARLOVSKI +900
FABRICIO WERDUM +1400 [opened at +700]
