I like Stevenson as a fighter but he will be outmatched in this fight by a bigger stronger fighter. I see this fight being dominated by Sanchez from the start of the bell to the very end. My best bet is for this fight to go to a three round decision. I would be all over this UFC prop bet. I would also do a UFC parlay bet for the fight to go all three rounds and for Sanchez to win the fight by a three round decision. UFC sports betting wise Sanchez at -300 is not worth the price but he will win this fight. If you have money to bet I would be all over this bet. I really don’t see Stevenson beating Sanchez at all.

Demian Maia (-275) vs. Chael Sonnen (+215)

What are the chances of Chael Sonnen beating Demian Maia? I think he can beat him and he has more than a 50% chance. Chael Sonnen is an underrated fighter that has a very good all round skill set. UFC betting wise most have him at +215 which gives online sports bettors a very good value bet to make.

Nate “The Great” Marquardt (-260) vs. Wilson Gouveia (+210)

Wilson Gouveia has always been the fighter that could. So much talent yet he does not work hard in the gym to train.

Wilson Gouveia is now in shape from all reports and he has upped his fighting at American Top Team. This was a question in the past but not from all scouting reports. Gouveia has been training hard for almost 4 months now and he will surprise many. The odds are too good and as a UFC sports bettor this underdos fight is too good to pass up. At +210 this is great UFC underdog bet to make. Bettors are getting good value for a powerful striker.

Josh Koscheck (-410) vs Paulo Thiago (+330)

The best bet to make for this fight is a UFC prop bet for this fight to go the distance. Five of Koscheck’s last seven fights have come by decision. He is a great fighter but will try to avoid the clinch and stay on the outside against Thiago to score points because Koscheck does not want to get into a grappling fight with Thiago because he has very good leg locks. The best bet would be to find a UFC sportsbook that will take UFC props and Parlay bets.

Under Development, & Finding Balance Between Mat Time With Conditioning Time

Grappling tips by Stephna Kesting

Forget the work-life balance! Let's talk about something much more important: the balance between grappling and conditioning.

I bring this up because one of the questions I get asked most frequently is about how to structure one's training and conditioning for maximum benefit, and also how to fit that in with work, family, socializing and the rest of life. In fact today's newsletter is partially a response to a question a BJJ purple belt asked me after I sent out a batch of newsletters dealing with conditioning routines

Jardine vs Jackson Preview

Sorry untill a Greg Jackson lets me down i;m bet on his fighters

made a mistakes with nate the great

Greg Jackson is the best MMA strategist in the world and just look at his past records with fighters. All of his fighters train hard and most importantly listen to his game plan. Another great bet to make is to make a UFC prop bet for Jardine to win by 3 round decision.

Best Dog Pick at UFC 96

Mark “The Philippine Wrecking Machine´ Munoz (5-0) is a better wrestler than Hamill is

In high school, Muñoz was a two-time California State Wrestling Champion at 189 pounds for Vallejo high school, Asics First Team All American and the 1996 NHSCA National High School Champion. In college he wrestled for Big Ten powerhouse Oklahoma State University where he captured two Big 12 titles and earned back-to-back All-America honors at 197 pounds, including his NCAA title as a senior in 2001.

Why is Matt Browneven fighting at UFC 96?

To me Matt “The Immortal” Brown (8-7) has no business fighting in the UFC. He has an 8 and 7 fight record with loses to guys most people have never heard of. He is only fighting in the UFC because he was on the Ultimate Fighter reality show. If there is any proof of a TUF betting bump, this is it.

B.J. Penn (-195) vs. Kenny Florian (+155) preview

Florian is all hype and marketing

Sport betting wise, this is a good fight to wager on. Sports book odds makers, as well as the majority of the MMA general populace, most likely believe that Penn will not take this fight too seriously and as a result, the UFC betting lines have reflected this. At -195 this bet is a steal. If this was any other fighter, sportsbook lines would be hovering around -300 to -350 and this bet is a great price at which to wager on Penn.

Randy Couture (-190) vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (+150) Preview

Though Nogueira may be a step behind Couture and scarred from one too many battles, at the end of the day I still like the fighter who is able to pull a submission from anywhere. Couture is an icon in the MMA which makes him a good bet as he will receive favorable odds from sentimental fans and at +150 this is a great underdog bet to make.

Nate “The Great” Marquardt (-160) vs. Demian Maia (+130)

You cannot overlook Maia’s ground game. He is more than Marquardt can handle on he ground and Marquardt is only at best, a decent striker. Out of his 28 wins he has 15 of them by submission. He will try to keep the fight standing but I can see instinct setting in and he will want to test his luck on the ground

UFC 102 Preview Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva

This is not going to be a ground battle of which everyone already knows. In terms of sports betting, the lines are fairly decent for Jardine on the moneyline. At -165 online UFC sports bettors can still get good value for their money and in the end one needs to go with the better all-around fighter. Jardine has more experience both in and out of the UFC, has gone against better fighters, has more top ten levels fights, has a better training team, and he has a fighting style that Silva needs to reckon with
