UFC 114 Preview and Odds
5/27/10
UFC 114 takes place this weekend at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Here is a look at a few of the main fights on the card along with the current odds for each match.
Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is a slight underdog on
Sports Interaction for this
weekend’s main event with Rashad Evans. Jackson is available at -115 compared to
Rashad’s price of -120. It’s only fitting that there’s little to choose between
such bitter rivals but just because this one will be tight, don’t expect a cagey
fight in the octagon. Rampage will live up to his nickname by bringing an
aggressive game plan, leaning heavily on his Boxing skills. Jackson has plenty
of reasons to want to clock Rashad after their rivalry on the Ultimate Fighter
and I expect Rampage to attack hard. Evans is horribly under-rated and don’t
rule out the quality of his Jujitsu and Wrestling skills. I like Rashad to keep
this one close throughout but Rampage will force a late stoppage.
Britain’s Michael Bisping is looking to rebuild his reputation after losses to
Dan Henderson and Wanderlei Silva and he’s got the perfect comeback opponent in
Dan Miller. The American has a decent record but is rightly an underdog at +137.
Miller will stick around for most of this fight but won’t be able to keep up
with Bisping. I like Michael Bisping -189 to win this one on points.
If there’s one sure thing at UFC 114 it’s got to be Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at
-714 who takes on Jason Brilz, a big underdog at +400. Brilz is a late stand-in
for Forrest Griffin and has never been in with a fighter remotely near
Nogueira’s level in his career. This one might not be short but it will be
brutal and one-sided.
Finally we come to potentially the most explosive fight of the night. Todd
Duffee only need 7 seconds to win his last fight and at -455 he’s a big favorite
to beat Tim Russow at +275. This will be the biggest fight to date of both
fighters’ careers and Russow is definitely under rated going into this one. His
+275 price is good value but not good enough to make me like him. Duffee will
have too much power and speed for Russow; expect a knockout inside of two
rounds.
