Randy Brown Vs. George Sullivan  

 George Sullivan certainly made a lot of jaw drops when he dropped Igor Araujo who was favored rather heavily when the two faced off in Sullivan’s last victory, however, since that win, it is safe to say that things are not quite going as per plan for George Sullivan considering that he been defeated in two of his last three fights which is not an impressive run. Age is not on his side either, Sullivan, a 35 – year old fighter will be desperately looking to make up for his recent form when he comes up against Randy Brown. You can rest assured that Randy Brown is certainly not going to make things easy for Sullivan. This could possibly be Sullivan’s last fight for the company and that makes things all the more interesting for sure.

Marcin Tybura Vs. Luis Henrique

Tybura is no stranger to success in the octagon considering that he was once the M-1 Champion. The ex M 1 champ’s UFC debut, however, went a little of the rails. He fought against Timothy Johnson in his debut and while he stood his ground and saw out the last of the rounds, he still lost by unanimous decision. However, that loss really did not take a toll on the former M – 1 champ who came back with a spring in his step when he took on Viktor Pesta back in August of 2016 and there was no mistaking who won that fight, Tybura obliterated Pesta very convincingly indeed.

Tybura will now be looking to get a consecutive victory, but his opponent is certainly going to meal of it, Luis Henrique is a formidable fighter himself to say the least and the Brazilian will certainly make Tybura work for it.

UFC fight night is scheduled to take place on November 12th and the excitement is reaching fever pitch as we inch closer to UFC 205. Adding to the glam is the venue itself, the iconic Madison square garden in New York! It will be the first time that the UFC is being held at this legendary venue.

With less than a month to go, this is the ideal time to go ahead and get your bets in before the punting masses rush in and sway the lines out of your favor. You can definitely expect more articles to follow which will focus on UFC fight night 205, the scorecard and the individual fights, but in this article, we will give you all the down low on some of the best bets you can make right now for UFC 205 in order to bag some serious moolah.

Conor McGregor Vs. Eddie Alvarez

This is easily the most anticipated fight in mixed martial arts for several months now, and it is going to be an absolute spectacle. We will discuss fighting strengths, weakness, and techniques and form in articles to follow, but for now let us get right to the odds.

The bookmakers have Conor McGregor’s odds flickering in the range of -140 and -150, while on the other hand, Alvarez’ odds are within the +120 to +130 range. It is almost a given that McGregor’s lines will curve more towards the expensive end of the spectrum in the coming days leading up to the fight.

Tyron Woodley Vs. Stephen Thompson

Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson has really made a name for himself under the UFC banner thanks to his one round debauchery of former champion Johny Hendricks despite being somewhat of an underdog.

Thompson used to be a professional kick boxer who has now crossed over to mixed martial arts, and the kick boxing influence and style is strongly evident in his fighting. He has some fancy kicks in his drawers which not only look flashy, aerobatic and athletic, but are also disastrous to the opponent when they connect. Woodley will be looking to keep a certain distance away from Thompson for as much of the fight as he can.

Woodley himself is no slouch! It took just one punch from him to send the reputed Robbie Lawler to sleep.

Woodley is explosive and determined, but we would put our money on Thompson in this fight. Thompson has a clear range advantage and is also a more technical fighter with tons of experience under his belt.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk Vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz

Both of these women are tougher than the spellings of their names. Joanna according to us has the upper hand in this one. She is intimidating and in near flawless form. Her Muay Thai skills make her deadly and has helped her leave most of her opponents’ faces bloodied and swollen.

We just cannot fathom how Karolina is going to overcome a beast like Joanna. Get your bet in early for the best odds on Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Tomorrow (Sat., September 3, 2016) longtime heavyweight veterans Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett will look to rebound from recent losses in the main event of UFC Fight Night 93 from the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.

Former champion Arlovski is coming off of two straight knockouts to current title fight participants Stipe Miocic and Alistair Overeem, while fellow former champion Barnett is coming off a submission loss to Ben Rothwell. In the co-main event, former light heavyweight title challenger Alexander ‘The Mauler’ Gustafson will seek to snap a two-fight skid against Poland’s Jan Blachowicz.

Find out who we picked to win below.

Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett:

Mike Drahota:

This is a closely matched affair where the winner will most likely be the man who can most effectively impose their contrasting gameplan. The higher-ranked Arlovski is actually a betting underdog at +130 according to BigOnSports.com, with Barnett coming in at as the -150 favorite.

Although he’s undergone a career resurgence in the past two years, that has faded a bit for Arlvoski in his past two fights. Barnett will obviously be looking to get the fight to the ground to implement his elite catch-wrestling skills, but I think it may be his striking that might win the day with the Belarusian’s chin falling a bit. I’m going with Barnett by first round TKO.

Rory Kernaghan:

Andrei Arlovski and Josh Barnett are both legends of the sport, but father time is knocking at both their doors. In this fight I believe positioning will be key, and Barnett perhaps has the bigger advantage in that respect. If they stay standing I’d bet the farm on ‘The Pitbull,’ but I don’t see ‘Warmaster’ allowing that to happen. As sad as it is to say, I feel Arlovski’s second wind has passed, and he’ll be on the losing end of this scrap. I’m calling Barnett by submission in round two.

Mike Henken:

The main event will feature a battle between two former UFC heavyweight champions, but in my opinion, both men are nearing the tail end of their careers. Arlovski has lost back-to-back fights to the likes of reigning champion Stipe Miocic and current title challenger Alistair Overeem.

It’s also important to note that both of those losses came by way of stoppage which may be an alarming sign regarding Arlovski’s chin at this point in his career. Barnett, on the other hand, has lost two of his last three including a knockout loss to Travis Browne and a submission loss to Rothwell. This fight is a toss-up for me and I could see it going either way, but I feel as if the “Pitbull” will get the job done here. Arlovski by unanimous decision.

Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jan Blachowicz:

Mike Drahota:

This fight is tough to label anything but a squash match for “The Mauler” against the unranked Blachowicz after fighting the absolute cream of the light heavyweight crop for the better part of the last four years.

Gustafsson is rightfully coming as a huge -585 favorite according to BigOnSports, and I think that might not even be enough. Gustafsson by first round knockout.

Rory Kernaghan:

Alexander Gustafsson has to be the betting favourite in this fight. Jan Blachowicz is a good fighter, but he’s never fought anyone near the calibre of ‘The Mauler.’ The Polish man is not really dangerous in terms of KO power, but he does have a solid ground game. In my mind, its a squash match. Gus needs to get back on track, and he’ll do so with dominance in this match. The Swede is far more well rounded, has better striking and defense, and has consistently faced better fighters throughout his career. I think the punches will get it done early on, look out for the uppercut, as Gustafsson KOs Blachowicz in round one.

Mike Henken:

This was an extremely easy pick for. In the most respectful way possible, I simply don’t feel as if Blachowicz belongs in the Octagon with Gustafsson. The Polish contender has solid submission skills, but he will be going up against one of the best 205-pounders in the world here. “The Mauler”, despite coming up short in his two title fights, should be able to score victory here. Gustafsson by first round knockout.

Mark Hunt vs. Frank Mir – UFC Fight Night 85 Preview and Odds

UFC Fight Night 85 In Brisbane is around the corner and all eyes are on the Mark Hunt Vs. Frank Mir clash. The headliner on March 20 (March 19 in USA due to difference in time zone) is sure to be a tough one with plenty of betting going on. What we have is a […]

UFC Fight Night 85 In Brisbane is around the corner and all eyes are on the Mark Hunt Vs. Frank Mir clash. The headliner on March 20 (March 19 in USA due to difference in time zone) is sure to be a tough one with plenty of betting going on. What we have is a classic striker take on a grappler, which makes it all the more interesting.

Samoan Mark Hunt (11-10-1) comes in as a favorite due to his reputation as a fighter and cool all-round personality. His background in kickboxing brings with it some great striking skills and KO power while Hunt is also known to be able to take a lot of punishment. Fans who have watched him are well aware that he waits for the right moment to strike a lethal blow. Yet, Hunt is a fighter who can keep you guessing since he could lose six in a row and them come back to win four.

Hunt’s last four fights are what bettors ought to look at. He won against Roy Nelson and was then defeated back to back by Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic. However, he came back strongly at UFC 193 where he defeated Antonio Silva in the first round via TKO.

Frank Mir (18-10-0) is infamous for the Mir Lock, his shoulder lock from the guard. He has over 15 years experience in pro MMA matches and is the only fighter to win a toe hold fight in UFC. Mir has also won fights through a wide range of strikes and submissions. He had a series of wins in 2015 that put him in title contention for the third time. Last February he defeated Antonio Silva and then knocked out Todd Duffee in the first round in July. He lost a close fight to Andrei Arlovski in September 2015.

Both Hunt, 41, and Mir, 36, are at the bottom of the top-10 heavyweight rankings and defeinitly catching up on age. In this fight we should see Hunt with an advantage in the standup game. He has won 70 fights overall in kickboxing, boxing and MMA and comes in with loads of experience against different types of fighters. This could possibly work to his advantage where we may see a KO in his favor in UFC 85 in Brisbane on March 19, 2016.

Frank Mir also has the experience but isn’t as crisp in his standup game as compared to Hunt. His advantage is on the ground where we may see him dragging Hunt to the ground at least once to keep him guessing. If this pans out well then Mir could have the edge.

Hunt has a 68% takedown record in the UFC while Mir stands at 47.5% takedowns. Currently, Bet365 has Frank Mir at 6/4 and Mark Hunt at 4/7. William Hill also has Mir at 6/4 and Mark Hunt at 8/15.

Robbie Lawler Opens as a -260 Favorite Against Matt Brown for UFC on FOX 12 Headliner


(That’s how you’re gonna beat ’em, Butch. They keep underestimating you. / Photo via Getty)

Once again, welterweight contender Matt Brown is heading into battle as an underdog. According to BestFightOdds, the betting line for the July 26th UFC on FOX 12 main event between Brown and Robbie Lawler opened with Lawler as a strong -260 favorite and Brown as a +180 ‘dog. “The Immortal” is currently on a seven-fight win streak, and was the betting underdog in four of those fights, including his last match against Erick Silva, God knows why.

Of course, Lawler represents the toughest test of Brown’s career by far, and it’s not surprising that the oddsmakers are favoring him here. On the other hand, Brown keeps knocking people off in brilliant performances, showing no regard for these silly, arbitrary betting lines with their pluses and minuses that half of you still don’t understand. Anybody feel like dropping some cash on him?
