Oddsmakers for tonight: UFC on FOX- Evans vs Davis
The UFC makes its ‘official’ ‘official’ debut on Fox tonight, with Rashad Evans taking on Phil Davis and Chael Sonnen facing Michael Bisping in matches with title implications. Here’s a look at the current betting lines:
Odds from BetUS Sportsbook. Accurate as of 0745 January 28, 2012
Rashad Evans (-190) vs Phil Davis (+155)
Pick: Evans
This fight will demonstrate whether or not Davis is ‘more than just a wrestler.’ Rashad is a great wrestler who should be able to keep this standing and take advantage of Davis’ still raw striking.
Chael Sonnen (-500) vs Michael Bisping (+350)
Pick: Sonnen
Bisping presents a strong dog pick at these odds, but Sonnen’s takedown game is just too relentless. Bisping won’t knock Sonnen out and is going to need a sub.
Chris Weidman (-150) vs Demian Maia (+120)
Pick: Maia
Weidman has a bright future but Maia always beats other BJJ experts unless they knock him out. Weidman hasn’t faced an opponent of Maia’s calibre, and Maia keeps getting more well-rounded.
Evan Dunham (-350) vs Nik Lentz (+250)
Pick: Dunham
Dunham is simply the better fighter. Lentz needs the control to win and Dunham is a bad matchup for him stylewise.
Mike Russow (-165) vs Jon Olav Einemo (+135)
Pick: Russow
JOE was a highly touted heavyweight with great jujitsu. However, he’s old and gone through a major illness. Russow is a good fighter with an underrated wrestling/ground game, and of course, the hammerfist of doom.
Cub Swanson (-135) vs George Roop (+105)
Pick: Roop
Roop’s length makes him a tough nut to crack for anyone at 145. He uses his range very well, and Swanson has a tendency to get into wild brawls.
Charles Oliveira (-500) vs Eric Wisely (+350)
Pick: Oliveira
Oliveira is just too good for the up and coming Wisely.
Shane Roller (-230) vs Michael Johnson (+180)
Pick: Roller
This was supposed be a TUF alums match, with Johnson facing Cody McKenzie. Roller is a step up in competition and possesses the wrestling and cardio to win this fight.
Joey Beltran (-220) vs Lavar Johnson (+175)
Pick: Beltran
Slugfest between 2 journeymen type heavyweights. Johnson was brought over from Strikeforce to make the heavyweight division more entertaining. Beltran is more seasoned.
Chris Camozzi (-190) vs Dustin Jacoby (+155)
Pick: Camozzi
Camozzi has more experience and is a strong grappler with durability.
