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.

MMAWeekly is reporting that Leonard Garcia and Nam Phan will meet again at UFC Fight Night 24 on March 26th in Seattle. Many fans and analysts feel the judges made a bad decision which awarded the “Bad Boy” a win over Phan at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale in early December. With Dana White giving Nam Phan his win bonus, there were rumblings of a necessary rematch.

Another controversial fight, in which White awarded both fighters their win bonus was Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard for the Lightweight Championship at UFC 125. The fight marked the second time the two met in the Octagon and now a third meeting is expected to take place at UFC 130 in Las Vegas. The rubber-match is tentatively scheduled and will depend upon if Frankie Edgar, who was given six months for medical clearance, can be cleared before then. Both Edgar and Maynard were medically suspended until at least February 16th; whereby it was noted, Maynard would be cleared and Edgar could be medically cleared as early as that date.

(The losers get a bonus check from the judges’ bookie.)

The UFC will attempt to get some resolution between some of its disgruntled employees in the coming months by setting up two rematches between a quartet of fighters involved in controversial decisions in their last bouts.

According to MMAWeekly, Nam Phan will look to avenge his BS loss to Leonard Garcia at the TUF 12 finale when he locks horns with the Team Jackson fighter at UFC Fight Night 24 in Seattle on March 26 and lightweight kingpin Frankie Edgar will attempt to successfully defend his title against Gray Maynard for the first time after their New Year’s Day UFC 125 title fight ended in a somewhat controversial majority draw when the pair get a do-over  at UFC 130 in Las Vegas.
