Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a Mixed Martial Arts promotion company founded in 1993 to highlight fighters from a variety of disciplines. The original intent of Ultimate Fighting Championship was to find which discipline was most useful in a real fight. The UFC initially encountered resistance as it was far less safe than any other contact sport. After revamping the UFC's rules structure to comply with state athletics commissions, the UFC (and MMA in general) began to enjoy a more mainstream appeal.
Up to the day of today, there are three fights to bet on at the coming UFC Fight Night 20 aired fr free on spike TV.
Gray Maynard, an undefeated fighter owning a 8-0 MMA record is heavily favorite against Nate Diaz. He’s coming out of a win against Roger Huerta at UFC Fight Night 19 and owns noticeable wins over Jim Miller and Rich Clementi, all in the UFC cage.
Nate Diaz is the underdog in this one despite being a little more experienced. He owns a fight record of 11-4 and possesses... Read Full Story

The show consists of a bunch of fighters, usually 16 plus fighters living under the roof with no contact with the outside for a few months. All they do is train and fight for the contract.
As you can imagine, having all those fighters living under one rough with... Read Full Story
By Ross Everett Renato Babalu Sobral defeated Bobby Southworth by TKO to become Strikeforce light heavyweight champion at the 'Destruction' card. Despite leaving with the belt around his waist, it wont be the centerpiece of Babalu's highlight reel with the way it transpired. A -350 wagering favorite despite his challenger status, Sobral was expected to use his world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills and vast experience against superior competition to dominate the tough but limited Southworth...

We may never see another year like 2007 in the UFC, when Georges St-Pierre, Heath Herring, and Mirko Cro Cop all went down to defeat in crushing upsets to Matt Serra, Jake O’Brien, and Gabriel Gonzaga, respectively. But in a sport where anything can happen, there’s always the possibility of seeing favorites get taken out by unheralded underdogs, and 2009 has been no exception. Read on for the biggest upsets of the year.

Rashad Evans 4/9, Thiago Silva 13/8.
The light-heavyweight division has long been one of the most competitive in the UFC, as evidenced by the routine changing-hands of the Championship belt. No fighter was able to retain the title beyond a single defence between 2007 and 2009, and one man to temporarily call it his was Rashad Evans.
The 30 year old won his place at the head of the division by beating Forrest Griffin, making good on the promise he had shown in winning The Ultimate Fighter... Read Full Story
Dos Santos 1/3, Yvel 9/4.
In Brock Lesnar’s enforced absence from the UFC, due to diverticulitis and complications arising from glandular fever, a queue has formed in the heavyweight division.
Banging on the door are Frank Mir, Shane Carwin, “Minotauro” Nogueira, and Cain Velazquez; a few steps back stands “Cigano” Junior Dos Santos.
Those in front should be checking over their shoulders. Dos Santos amassed a record of 6-1 in Brazil prior to entering the UFC as a young fighter, now... Read Full Story
Paul Daley 4/5, Dustin Hazelett 10/11.
As evidenced by the odds on offer, it's very difficult to split these fighters and pick a likely winner.
However, their chance of winning this fight is almost all they have in common. "Semtex" Daley comes in to the Octagon armed with explosive power in both hands, and for only the second time in the UFC.
His debut saw a shock knockout defeat of welterweight contender Martin Kampmann, which has rocketed him onto the main card. He does have... Read Full Story

I think either Roy Nelson or Wes Sims will take it. My money is on big country though. I think Rampage will kill Rashad after the season is over too.
