UFC 85 Betting Odds

After all the changes done to the UFC 85 fight card, it’s finally complete. Matt Hughes, who is the favorite, will go up against the underdog Thiago Alves in the main event. Hughes is still considered to be the #2 welterweight fighter in the world, so he’s not exactly a pushover. Alves is a very tough fighter who trains hard for every fight, his weakness is that he’s a very slow starter. Hughes will probably be looking to exploit Alves’ slow starting, but you have to remember that Alves is most likely well aware of this and will take his game up a notch in this fight. Another interesting factor in this fight is how seriously Alves’ trains for every fight, we all saw how great he neutralized Karo Parisyan’s judo in their fight, so you have to know that he’s training very hard for Hughes’ wrestling.

Michael Bisping Vs. Jason Day is the co-main event of UFC 85. Bisping is a much better fighter at 185 than 205, although he hasn’t proved it yet with the quality of his opponents at 185 matched up to the quality of his opponents at 205. It’ll be interesting to see how Bisping deals with Day’s strength, and how Day deals with a much more experienced fighter in Bisping. Another factor in this fight is it being a co-main event, we know Bisping has experience being the star of a card, but how will Day’s nerves play with him all of a sudden being the co-main event?

Fabricio Werdum Vs. Brandon Vera is a fight that’s been well talked about. Werdum is coming off a TKO victory over Gabriel Gonzaga and Brandon Vera is coming off a decision loss to Tim Sylvia. Werdum’s main problem in his fight with Gonzaga was the leg kicks, they were brutal and he had a tough time dealing with them. After seeing Werdum’s fight with Gonzaga, the leg kicks have to be a big part of Vera’s strategy, as well as overall striking. Vera’s wrestling and takedown defense is very good. It’ll be very interesting to see how this fight turns out.

Other notable fights on this card are Marcus Davis Vs. Mike Swick and Nate Marquardt Vs. Thales Leites.

This is a very fun card to bet on with lots of possibilities and outcomes, and that’ll make the fights you bet on a lot more exciting.
