Heading into next Saturday’s UFC 168 event, Ronda Rousey is a heavy favorite to beat Miesha Tate and retain the UFC women’s bantamweight championship.
When the line was opened by veteran oddsmaker Nick Kalikas, Rousey was listed as a -1000 favorite to beat Tate in their rematch. That means Rousey is a 10-to-1 favorite, the kind of line gamblers typically stay away from due to the cost and risk involved. Put another way, you’d have to bet $10 to win just $1 at those odds; it’s a lot of money to put on the line for such a small reward.
The line has come back down to earth a bit, but it’s still staggering. As of this morning, Rousey is listed at -800 at the MGM Grand sports book, which means people are throwing the occasional long shot bet on Tate. But Rousey remains an 8-to-1 favorite.
According to Rousey, those odds are not dissuading members of her team from throwing down gigantic wagers and expecting their fighter to win. Here’s what she told UFC partner Fox Sports:
My whole corner bets on me. They get mad at me because my odds always suck. They split like over 20 grand every fight because they believe in me. It doesn’t put any extra pressure on me. I’m like, ‘F— yeah.’ My guys have so much faith in me they’ll put down 20 grand to win five.
Color me skeptical. I understand Floyd Mayweather throwing down enormous bets on anything and everything, but for a fighter’s corner to do the same? I can’t imagine people who are not what we’d consider rich throwing down that kind of money and assuming that kind of risk, even if Rousey is a heavy favorite.
Rousey‘s odds will remain astronomically high until she loses. Even then, she will likely enter most fights as a favorite. For example, even though Chris Weidman knocked Anderson Silva out cold just this summer, Silva is nearly a 2-to-1 favorite for the rematch.
If you’re a regular gambler, I urge you to stay away from this one unless you’re planning on taking a small flier on Tate scoring the upset. Anything else is ill-advised, unless you have money to burn. And if that’s the case, please contact me. I’ll give you my mailing address and you can send me a check.

Shooto Brazil plans on making history on Dec. 20 when Emerson Falcao takes on Juliana Velasquez at Shooto 45 in a mixed-gender fight.
Yes, you read that right. A man will be competing against a woman in a professional MMA bout.
Shooto President Andre Pederneiras has yet to explain whether any special rules will be in place for this contest. The promotion has been rather active all Tuesday morning promoting the bout via Twitter and Facebook.
Along with UFC champions Jose Aldo and Renan Barao, Falcao trains at Nova Uniao under the tutelage of Pederneiras. He is a bantamweight fighter with a 0-1 professional record. In April, he made his professional debut at Upper Sport Combat 2, where he was submitted in the first round by Benny Blackat.
On Monday night, Falcao posted on his Facebook page (via MMAFighting.com) that he was injured and wouldn’t be able to compete again until next year. But after speaking with Pederneiras, MMAFighting learned that Falcao will still be able to compete on Friday night.
Obviously, there’s a twist: Falcao’s opponent will now be Team Nogueira female Judoka star Velasquez, who will be making her professional MMA debut:
Andre Pederneiras came up with the idea, Velasquez said in an interview with MMAFighting.com. He asked Team Nogueira for a female fighter and my team believes I’m ready, so I accepted the challenge. My expectations are the best. I’m well trained to get there and win.
I’m used to training with man every day. I’m a professional judoka and I know the adrenaline of the competition, I know how to handle this.
It appears that Shooto is prepared to open Pandora’s Box and accept whatever criticism comes its way. This is of course assuming that regular MMA rules are in place. Hopefully, this ends up being some form of a glorified sparring session between two friendly camps.
Anything else has disaster written all over it.
