Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (+160)
Shogun is the current UFC Lightweight Champion and proved worthy of the title in both fights with Lyoto Machida as many remember he should have won that first fight against “The Dragon” at UFC 104. We know that Rua has the powerful leg kicks needed to take out Jon Jones. Plus, we gotta say, it’s not cool that Jon Jones has already been signing autographs as “Champion 2011″. We’ve all seen the movies and know where that’s going. The young hero always gets a little too cocky and has to be humbled again before his next great win. Plus at +155 and +160, you just can’t beat the value on Rua for this fight.

Jim Miller (-260)
The UFC Lightweight is on a 6 win hot streak with his last victory suffered by Charles Oliveira who was submitted by Miller’s kneebar in the first 2 minutes of the first round at UFC 124. Miller’s only loss in his UFC career was a Unanimous Decision to number 1 Lightweight title contender, Gray Maynard. Miller’s UFC 128 opponent is WEC veteran, Kamal Shalorus who has sound BJJ and catch wrestling skills and should give Miller a good match. But Miller has beaten good ground gamers before and Shalorus just may not be ready for Miller’s caliber in his UFC debut.

Mike Pyle (+145)
Pyle is always underestimated but after he beat John Hathaway as a +400 underdog at UFC 120, we vowed never to bet against him again. Pyle’s matchup against Ricardo Almeida looks pretty even for us as both fighters are most comfortable on the ground, but Pyle’s been working heavily with Xtreme Couture Boxing Coach, Gil Martinez and we’ve seen with Gray Maynard that Martinez is solidly improving the stand-up skills of his ground gamers.

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.

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.
