Strikeforce Odds – Strikeforce Women’s 135-pound Championship

Oct 06 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

Strikeforce Odds are that nonentity will eternally get pummeled in a fight the way Marloes Coenen did against Cris Cyborg in her last fight.  She took an absolute pounding and said that she could have bewitched some more! On Saturday, Coenen faces a tamer competitor in Sarah Kaufman, this time for the Strikeforce 135-pound Title.

Event: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II
Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 10PM ET/PT
Location: HP Pavilion, San Jose, California
Broadcast: Showtime

Sarah Kaufman (12-0): -350
Marloes Coenen (17-4): +250

Sarah Kaufman makes her second Title defense in the Women’s 135-pound division at Strikeforce and the Strikeforce Odds like her chances. She is regarded as one of the top two or three women’s strikers in MMA having won nine of her twelve bouts by KO/TKO.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 55% compensation on your elementary deposit here at BetUS? Put ones finger on out more far-out details HERE.]

Kaufman, a former ballet dancer is pure offense. She can do damage with both fists and both legs. She is lethal from outside and in the clinch.  Kaufman is a dangerous fighter as long as the fight is unmoving. She has recently upped her ground game as well in attempts to become an all around threat in MMA. She’ll need this ground game against a very slick tender specialist in Marloes Coenen.

Kaufman has fought grapplers in the past and was able to keep those fights in her opulence zone – standing. If the fight goes her way, there won’t be any ground argument to speak of. Strikeforce odds are that her inexperience on the ground could well be her misfortune in this fight and she knows that.

Marloes Coenen is a veteran Belgian MMA fighter from the hugely satisfactorily respected artless – Team Golden Glory. She has been training MMA since the age of 14 and is well versed in striking and jiu-jitsu. Coenen has been around the fight game her whole life – her brothers and her grandfather were also involved in War Sports.

Coenen proved against Cyborg that she can burlesque a punch, a knee, an elbow, a foot and entire lot else. Go on increase in great technique, area game and experience and Coenen is a tough customer. Coenen has finished fighters on the feet and on the ground. She is as well rounded a fighter as Sarah Kaufman will have ever faced.

Strikeforce Odds Outlook:

Kaufman’s strength is her awe-inspiring but nothing that she hits Coenen with will be anywhere close to Cyborg. Coenen will not be intimidated at all for this fight. She is a big step up in competition for Sarah Kaufman and I think that it may be too big a hasten. Sample and all around soldierly style compel prevail.

Strikeforce Odds Pick: Marloes Coenen +250

MMA Betting – Fists will Fly – Jose Aldo vs. Manny Gamburyan

Sep 30 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

Looking for those of you who secure been concentrating their MMA Betting on the UFC and maybe Strikeforce – make sure to check out the Featherweights at WEC 51 on Thursday. Jose Aldo is a Brazilian wrecking ball and has won ten straight at 145 pounds. He will argue for his title against a mere devices Manny Gamburyan on Thursday ceaselessly.

WEC 51: Aldo vs. Gamburyan

Date: Sep 30, 2010

Location: Broomfield, Colorado

Venue: 1STBANK Center

Broadcast: Versus

Champ Jose Aldo (17-1-0): -650

Manny Gamburyan (11-4): +425

Thursday unceasingly marks Jose Aldo’s second defense of his Featherweight title, his first being a very impressive dismantling of WEC poster Boy, Urijah Faber. Aldo has been on a role and appears to be unstoppable – the act for the obnoxious MMA Betting line.

Aldo’s game is striking. Both legs and both hands mean business with every shot. He has fidelity, powerful kicks, amazing power in both hands and a solid ground game. Aldo trains with arguable the best body in MMA – Pair Black House that boasts the likes of Anderson Silva, The Noguieras. He is the elite at the 145 pound division.

[Off topic: near the way, do you want to get a 55% hand-out on your first deposit here at BetUS? If so JOIN NOW.]

Manny Gamburyan is a familiar prominence to the MMA Betting world. Since finishing second on The Ultimate Fighter 5 and a less than stellar UFC career (2-2 record), Gamburyan has reeled off three straight victories in the 145 pound branch. He has beaten some of the WEC’s better fighters and as he proved against the heavy handed Mike Brown, Gamburyan is no joke.

Gamburyan is a well rounded fighter. His stocky frame is well versed in judo, submissions and some rapidly improving topping. Perhaps his best trait is his fearlessness. Gamburyan will not be intimidated by Aldo and will go right at him. He is certainly aggressive and it will either best ally or his worst contestant. Manny commitment have to be patient, be smart, pick his spots and hope to catch the overwhelming favorite with one of his patented overhand rights. It’s the only realistic shot that Gamburyan has.

MMA Betting Outlook:

Jose Aldo is considered about most to clearly be in the Top 10 batter for pound best fighters on the planet. He is simply unstoppable. Aldo can end a fight with either fist or either foot. If the fight happens to articulate to the ground, Aldo is not out of his console zone either. Gamburyan will bring a fight to Colorado on Thursday night but his aggressive style plays propitious into the hands of a fighter like Aldo. Manny will barge in and Aldo wishes batter him over and over again. Aldo is simply in a different league in this fight. Gamburyan is good, but is nowhere near the elite descent just yet.

MMA Betting Pick: Jose Aldo -650

UFC 119 – Sportsbook Listing Frank Mir As Favorite Over Cro Cop

Sep 28 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

The battle between Mirko Filipovic and Frank Mir is current to be a nautical taut war according to the oddsmakers, who have listed Frank Mir as a favorite against Cro Cop with -260 in the sportsbook. It’s hard to knock those odds, especially considering that Mir looks to be on his way down the totem pole, where Mirko Filipovic already sits. Taking advantage of these odds might be a good way to keep this fight interesting, because in the grand order of things this fight doesn’t really doesn’t matter.

Just don’t tell that to Frank Mir who is undoubtedly still convinced he deserves to be in the title picture.

This ease a year ago, Cro Cop was decimated by Junior dos Santos at UFC 103: Franklin vs. Belfort when he released from during the fight because he’d incessant an vision injury. Pardon my frankness, but he probably quit because he was also getting the crap kicked out of him during the fight.

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to put a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? Gather up out more titillating details HERE.]

Since that fight, Cro Cop has gone 2-0 SU and caused a when he upset Pat Barry with a submission victory in practically four years. A rear naked choke gave Crop Cop the victory after being listed as an underdog in the sportsbook, and also gave him a nice pay day with a Submission of the Night bonus. But it’s also kept him relevant.

And that’s the odd thing about this fight – Cro Cop can afford to lose this fight. He literally has nothing left to lose, especially since he has just one more fight after this left on his contract.

The guy that actually can’t afford to lose is the favored fighter in the sportsbook’s UFC 119 match lines. Frank Mir is coming off an unconditionally horrendous, first spheroidal, knock out against Shane Carwin and desperately needs to stay in the title picture because he’s 31-years advanced in years and coming off a 1-2 SU record in his last two bouts that saw him lose to Carwin and reigning heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (28-7-2, NC) vs. Frank Mir (13-5)

Saturday, September 25th — Conseco Fieldhouse — 11:30pm EST

Sportsbook UFC Duel Lines: Filipovic +200 / Mir -260

That in the final might be the problem for Mir, who has been a letdown in sportsbook betting as much as he has been in the octagon. What Mir fails to do is get that he simply has to win. I mean, look at what that cheeky yielding conquest over Brock Lesnar in their first meeting did to his fly. Mir, for whatever reason, loves to be flashy even though he’s a ham-and-egger kidney of fighter.

Pat Barry made the mistake of underestimating what Cro Cop has progressive in the tank when he’s left on his feet, and Mir is very promising to make the same error. In all honesty, Mir can pierce through Cro Cop’s paltry takedown defense and wrestle his way to an easy winning.

But this is still a transition fight. Either Mir is going to be sent in to purgatory in a loss for the surplus of his career as every other heavyweight passes him by, or he’s thriving to linger around the fringes for a couple more months. To leapfrog either possibility, Mir will have to roll a blistering knockout, and he knows it.

UFC 119 – Bet on Chris Lytle vs. Matt Serra

Sep 28 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

The UFC sports book has posted odds on the Chris Lytle vs. Matt Serra bout and MMA handicapping fans should make a wager on a certain of the participants.

The UFC odds makers have created a wagering line for the Lytle vs. Serra bout that shows exactly how close these two fighters perhaps might be in terms of skills. Lytle is the less than spectacular -140 chalk while Serra is the +110 underdog.

Will the chalk prevail or will the dog leave the Octagon victorious?

UFC 119: Unrestrained Mir vs. Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic

Chris Lytle -140 vs. Matt Serra +110

Chris Lytle

Record: 39-17-4

Analysis: The journeyman that is Chris Lytle has won 6 out of his form 9 bouts. His losses were to guys named Thiago Alves, Josh Koscheck and Marcus Davis, 3 highly regarded fighters. Although Lytle has the ability to knockout his opponents, he’s more often then not using his terrific deference skills. 55% of his skill breakdown is made up of submission. 33% of his skill breakdown is made up of striking. Lytle has won his last three fights, which is the main reason he’s the fave in the UFC sportsbook, and appears poised to put forth a great crack on Sept. 25th.

Matt Serra

Record: 17-6

Analysis: Serra beat Georges St. Pierre in the biggest upset in MMA history at UFC 83. He beat St. Pierre by using his aggressive word choice to knock the superstar fighter obsolete in the first round. Serra also has very sunday grappling skills. 33% of his remove scan breakdown is made up of offering. His striking isn’t bad either but he really excels at takedowns. 45% of his skill breakdown is made up of takedowns. With that in mind, Serra will most likely try to keep his distance from Lytle rather than taking the chalk down to the mat. From there, it will be interesting to apprehend how Serra does.

UFC Betting Pick: It’s tough to gauge how Matt Serra is going to do in this fight given the truth that his upset triumph beyond St. Pierre occurred in 2007. After the win, St. Pierre blasted Serra for a 2nd Round knockout in the rematch in 2008.

Serra didn’t fight again until 2009 where he lost a decision to Matt Hughes. He’s had undivided dispute since then, a KO crushing over Frank Trigg. From what I’ve unfamiliar, Serra just hasn’t been busy adequately to beat a man like Chris Lytle.

Lytle is by no means the toughest guy that Matt has ever fought, but at least he’s been busy. He’s also been winning and because of their bout in 2006, knows how to use Serrra’s over-aggressiveness against him.

This could be a pally stint but both of these fighter are very diverse than they were in that Greatest Fighter Finale four years ago. Lytle has begun to make a rush for in a class by itself while Serra appears goal on continuing to live off of the St. Pierre upset.

I’m fitting not reliable if Matt is ready to take on a fighter that has kept himself hectic with two fights in 2009 and two fights already in 2010.

I have to back Chris Lytle at -140 odds in the UFC sportsbook.

UFC 119 Sports Betting Pick – Nogueira vs. Bader

Sep 28 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

Since nobody’s convinced that Antonio Rogerio Nogueira nor Ryan Bader are really contenders in the light heavyweight division, it makes perfect divine that they’d be matched up in a stacked sports betting weekend.

Almost all the fight lines at UFC 119 betting are pretty tight, and this bout is no rarity.

Neither can really afford to have a lackluster victory on their resume, since they both already demand plenty, so if both fighters respond to the pressure mounting behind them, then we’re in for a helluva fight.

Rotten topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? Find out more sensuous details HERE.]

That is, of course, unless Nogueira decides to fall asleep in this match like he did against Jason Brilz. Nogueira has a very nasty habit of playing down and up to the level of his opponent as opposed to of just hammering them like we know he’s skilful of.

One of the things that we track in sports betting is the ability to impose your will on an opponent (think Inexperienced England Patriots 2007).

For whatever reason, Nogueira lacks that final gear in his arsenal. What he doesn’t lack is a definitive predisposition for boxing, which Bader doesn’t appear able to match.

That doesn’t mean you should be lumping all your notes behind the Brazilian in sports betting on Saturday night, but it does give Nogueira the early advantage in the fight despite the fact he’s an underdog.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-3) vs. Ryan Bader (11-0)

September 25th — Conseco Fieldhouse — 11:30pm EST

UFC 119 Sports Betting Line: Nogueira +145 / Bader -175

Seeing Nogueira as an underdog is a big problem though. Bader is just 27-years old making him younger, more powerful and a much better grappler than his opponent this weekend at UFC 119. While he didn’t necessarily showcase a great knack for defending good boxing when he tussled with Keith Jardine, Bader is also brilliant enough to hype a dismount inside and wrap Nogueira up.

Very few would hesitate that Bader’s power can put Nogueira on the mat from there.

Bader is a monster of a light heavyweight and constantly toes the 205-pound contract for at 6-foot-2. Nogueira, who is used to having a size advantage will undersell how much girth and size Bader boasts and anybody round on the mat will cause the Brazilian to check out of this fight mentally.

I don’t be uncertain Nogueira’s physical toughness. I in doubt his mental tenacity. Babies risers in the spill heavyweight division, and heavyweight division, sometimes fail you in sports betting, but I’m succour Bader feverishly. I just like how he matches up against Nogueira overall, and he’ll licence a brutal and looming ground assault to push Nogueira farther down the ladder.

This line has a chance to take off for everywhere the week, and if you’re smart you’re going to grab it early before the public weight in on Saturday. Bader’s odds will decrease in value if you don’t deplane this early enough, so return your sports betting pick in sooner rather than later. Bader all the way.

UFC 119 Recap – What’s Next For Frank Mir?

Sep 27 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

I went through my notes from this erstwhile weekend to write a UFC 119 recap, and couldn’t find a single newsworthy matter, aside from whining about the judging in the Dunham-Sherk fight.

The problem with showcasing your talent once every three weeks is that you get events like UFC 119, which did very little to satisfy the blood thirsty UFC betting community. A lackluster card ended up being – well – lackluster and the main event was a sad exclamation point for a card that obviously lived up to its billing as “disappointing”.

Nutty topic: by the way, do you want to get a 55% bonus on your first lay here at BetUS? Find out more stirring details HERE.]

By now, we all know that Frank Mir KO’d Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic with a knee to the face in the third round. You can make excuses for Cro Cop. He took the broil on short notice and was slowed by an eye injury. But he still took the fight, so the wares are his to burden.

The effortless avenue would be to write a eulogy on the career of Filipovic, but there’s no sharp end instantly now. His livelihood isn’t over yet, but that’s more from a technicality standpoint since Cro Cop has lone more fight left on his contract, and a tasty matchup against Roy Nelson could at least present some intrigue.

Instead, I’m more interested in the remaining years left on Frank Mir. All the talk surrounding the predominating event at UFC 119 circled about the fact that it had no implications. It’s not a win by either would warrant a give to the contender’s circle, and Mir’s impotence to push the action on Saturday night didn’t do anything to increase his stock.

Mir had to beat Cro Cop, and on all accounts he did exactly what he was supposed to (well, aside from my account since I picked Cro Cop in the upset). But as I wrote, he had to win in decisive approach. He showed no hunger for three rounds, and no desire to prove everyone go phut. Mir did what we all feared he would do – he fought scared.

Which is correctly why Dana White refused to hand a Knockout of the Night bonus. Even Mir apologized for his performance on Saturday against Filipovic, and frankly he should. It was pathetic. Cro Cop mounted zero offense and Mir refused to go after him for two rounds.

So what happens to Mir now? He’s not on Brock Lesnar’s level anymore and the technique back to a designate skirmish isn’t just crave; it’s filled with other contenders. What Mir needs to do is get in the ring with some young guns and prove that the guys getting the hype now aren’t really worth it.

Which means that Mir’s follow-up for UFC 119 should be against a guy like Todd Duffee, a newcomer to the heavyweight division that was served a massive upset at UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans. Despite the loss, Duffee is still a young bull at just 24-years old and a fan favorite because of his potential. It would be staggering to see White put Duffee in danger against Mir, but we all positive how quickly he likes to sift out the unerring weight in the UFC.

The more expected matchup for Mir is the winner of UFC 121’s heavyweight fight pitting Brendan Schaub against Gabriel Gonzaga. Still, I have to ask, what would fighting either guy do for Mir at this brink?

UFC Betting – Chalk Ruled at UFC 119

Sep 27 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

When it comes to UFC betting, chalk doesn’t always do well (how can anyone forget Frankie putting a beat down on BJ twice?) but at UFC 119 this past Saturday, chalk ruled with an iron fist.

It’s not often that the blackboard that is the UFC/MMA sportsbook becomes white-washed with chalky powder, but that’s exactly what happened when Frank Mir knocked out Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic in the 3rd annulus of their main event mettle on Saturday night.

[Off topic: by the distance, do you want to get a 55% bonus on your outset place here at BetUS? If so SOLDER TOGETHER NOW.]

Mir, a -225 favorite, capped a night that provided MMA fans with a lot of fighting, and maybe even some dollars, but no real fighter to look forward to save for Ryan “Darth” Bader. Let’s go over the chalkiness that was UFC 119.

Mir knocks out Cro Cop – -Mir knocked Cro Cop out with a knee strike to the head in the 3rd round. Thank goodness Frank finally got to Mirko because, man, up until the knee the main event was one boring quarrel.

Cro Cop’s headlining career was over before this, he was nothing more than a fill in at UFC 119, but promptly, after being even more boring that the winner, Mirko will possibly never find saignante in a main event again. Mir ascendancy not either unless he finds a way to be more interesting in the Octagon.

Chris Lytle out “stand-ups” Matt Serra – - Chris Lytle avenged his rout at the hands of Matt Serra about alibi pointing the underdog Serra 30 to 27. Lytle was a -145 UFC betting fave and he looked it in the fight by easily putting Serra in in a scrape and beating him to the punch throughout the belligerence.

Chris doesn’t really deserves a shot against UFC champ Georges St. Pierre, but don’t be surprised if Dana White puts him in the ring against the champ in the near days. St. Pierre is running obsolete of guys to put a beat down on. As far as Serra is concerned, his job is most likely over.

He’s never been a very prolific fighter as it is. Now, after another loss, he might want to think hither a new profession because nobody on care to watch him anymore.

Guillard dominates Stephens – - Okay, maybe “dominates” isn’t the sensibly word. The dispute did end in a split steadfastness, but Guillard, who I thought was the most likely chalk to resist down, controlled the fight from the opening bell and pulled out the supremacy.

As the -170 UFC betting favorite, Guillard rewarded chalk bettors yet again.

“Darth” Bader uses takedowns to out point Noguiera – - Ryan Bader used takedowns to score a unanimous decision over Antonio Rogerio Noguiera. What was impressive about the victory is that Bader, the -175 chalk, fought about as bright as he could against “Little Nog”.

He kept his distance, used his takedown skills, and pretty much battled for the decision. Bader will most apposite now take on the most talked up UFC fighter in the history of the sport, soon to be superstar Jon Jones.

Other fights – - T.J. Grant, the -155 fave, won a unanimous decision over Julio Paulino. -275 chalk C.B. Dalloway submitted Joe Doerksen in Round 1 of their bout. -150 chalk Matt Mitrione beat Joey Beltran by unanimous decision.

The UFC odds in the sportsbook for the Stephens vs. Guillard bout favor Melvin Guillard.

Guillard is a -160 chalk to take down Jeremy Stephens and raise his hands in the mid-section of the Octagon. Stephens wish try to have something to say about that.

This figures to be one of the best fights on the entire UFC 119 betting card because both Guillard and Stephens are tough-hearted strikers.

Melvin Guillard -160 vs. Jeremy Stephens +130

Melvin Guillard

Memorandum: 43-9-3 1NC

Analysis: Guillard loves to fight, doesn’t he? At the age of 27, he’s already entered the Octagon an incredible 56 times. He’s won 43 out of those 56 bouts alongside using his very good striking and takedown skills. Guillard’s skill breakdown lists takedowns at 57%. That’s a mountains. His striking is at 33% and his submissions are at only 9%.

Guillard is a aficionado of the Josh Burkman American Who-Hit-U style, which is basically being able to fight any MMA tenor. It’s obvious, though, that Guillard loves to fool his opponents down and use his athleticism to provide great strikes. Guillard’s experience has to be one of the reasons he is the UFC odds favorite to obtain this bout.

Jeremy Stephens

Record: 18-5

Analysis: Like Guillard, Stephens is especially a takedown, striking MMA master. Submissions make up only 19% of his skill breakdown while takedowns make up 33% and amazing makes up 47%. Stephens wants to fight standing up and because of that he’s suit very predominating with those UFC/MMA fans that don’t comprehend the nuances of a terrific ground game.

That ability to simply outpoint his opponents with his strikes is going to come in handy against Guillard because Guillard is the last disputant that Stephens is going to find trying to force him to submit. Stephens intent try to disk Guillard, clobber him with both leg kicks and punches and go because of the knockout if the situation presents itself.

UFC Betting Pick: Most UFC handicappers are siding with Melvin Guillard to win this fight on Saturday night because of his total live.

I’m not one of those UFC handicappers. To me, Guillard’s experience could play less of a job in this fight than Jeremy Stephens’ heart. Stephens has a motor that never quits. Guillard is use to fighting guys who are afraid of his striking gift, but that’s not the trunk with Stephens.

Stephens avoids 61% of the strikes thrown his way. He avoids 57% of the takedown attempts thrown his way and while Guillard’s avoidance percentages are slightly higher than Stephens’, Jeremy figures to be the spryer fighter.

Guillard has amazing experience, yes, but he also has had to go through many more grueling fights in order to go off that experience. Stephens is fresher, more determined, and slightly more powerful in both hands than Guillard.

I’m subsidy the dog in this engagement. That dog is Jeremy Stephens at +130 UFC odds to beat Melvin Guillard on Saturday non-stop.

UFC Prediction – Bader and Noguiera Battle

Sep 26 2010 in UFC/MMA

UFC Betting

The Co-Main Event of UFC 119 features a fight that should determine the next in line to fight for the Light heavyweight belt and most UFC Predictions appear to favor the younger Ryan Bader. But Antonio Rogerio Noguiera knows a thing or two nearby the fight pretend and will not go down easily.

However: 10PM ET/7PM PT

Ryan Bader (11-0): -175
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (19-3): +145

[Off topic: by the way, do you want to get a 60% bonus on your first deposit here at BetUS? If so JOIN NOW.]

Ryan Bader is an exciting MMA prospect and my UFC Prediction is that he will be champion one day. The Primary Fighter Season 8 conqueror is undefeated but has yet to exterior anyone the caliber of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

Bader is a wrestler whose top control is lethal. He has extraordinary technical striking and power as well as a modest grappling game. He is extremely strong and is able to use his power to bully his opponents to the tutor and unleash his vicious foundation and pound.

Bader’s all about regatta will be tested as will his contribution defense – something that has gone unchallenged so far in his MMA career. He will have to be on refill of absolutely every aspect of his game against a very well acclimated and much skilled competitor.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira looked great in his UFC debut against Luiz Cane but didn’t look so good in his last bout – a split conclusion win against Jason Brilz. “Little Nog” had trouble with Brilz’s wrestling prowess and Brilz’s ability to bully him around inside the Octagon. Word has it that the fight against Brilz further motivated Nogueira to work extensively to defend the intangibles that a wrestler brings to a fight.

To say that Nogueira is well rounded is a colossal understatement. My UFC Prediction is that he may be one of the two or three most superbly prepared Light Heavyweights on the planet. He has crisp, accurate, powerful strikes and possesses rapturous class grappling skills.

“Little Nog” trains in a gym in which he gets punished every day by his brother Minotauro, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida just to name a hardly. Team Black House ensures that its fighters have the cardio and the chin necessary to be champions.

MMA Prediction Expectations:

Ryan Bader is a exquisite fighter but his era isn’t now. There are just too many ways that Nogueira can beat him. “Little Nog” has the Octagon experience and he has fought some of the toughest dudes in the world. Bader has not. Chalk this one up as a learning experience for “The Great Drained Project” – school is unequivocally in!

UFC Prediction: Antonio Rogerio Nogueira +145
