On Dec. 29 "Countdown UFC 108: Jacob vs. Edward." will spotlight the Jan. 2 Event to be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. UFC 108 is the UFC's first show of 2010 and has been redesigned weekly by the infamous gypsy curse, that can only be broken by an epic battle between two immortal beings. OK, maybe I’m taking this creepy promo poster a little to far. The UFC had grand

Frank Mir (-200 BetUS) vs Cheick Congo (+220 BetUS) An interesting matchup and not the typical grappler vs kickboxer, because Mir's not that good of a wrestler. His ground game is very solid and but when the fight hits the ground he's on his back more often than not. Mir's very dangerous from that position, but stronger opponents like Lesnar were able to dominate him with ground and pound.

Kimbo Slice (+200 BetUS) vs. Houston Alexander (-260 BetUS) The interest in Kimbo never seises to amaze me. He's an incredibly likeable aging hulk - but is he a UFC caliber MMA fighter? His brief fighting stint on TUF 10 didn't answer any questions about his ability. His desire to learn came through strong and he's continued to work on developing some sort of ground game...at least the ability

Roy Nelson (-275 BetUS) vs Brendan Schaub (+215 BetUS) Few people are excited about the thought of Roy Nelson getting a UFC contract, including Dana White. The problem is he knows how to win and his competition so far has just plain sucked. Brendan Schaub is still budding as a fighter and will likey be moving down to 205 lbs after this fight. Point being - Size is a real issue in this match up.

Well it's not the sexiest fight card you'll ever see, but it's free! Four and a half Heavyweight bouts and only the the big one has a pair of fighters with any real future in MMA. Kimbo and Houston will be fighting at a catch weight of 215 lbs and I'll bet that won't be too easy for Mr. Slice.  The Main event should provide an excellent stage for Jon "Bones" Jones to show off his exciting and

Ariel Helwani of MMA FanHouse provides another good interview. Dana talks about how UFC 106 went, his thoughts on the few small controversys...eye pokes and scoring, and he talks about who really impressed him (hint he recieved two bonuses).

Karo Parisyan has burned his last bridge in the UFC with yet another last minute pull-out. Dana White didn't care to explain in any detail why Heat got cold feet, Twittering only this:"Karo Parisyan has fucked over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting Saturday or ever again in the UFC!!""Pulled out of the fight the day before weigh ins again with a laundry list of

Spencer Fisher (+200 Bodog) vs Joe Stevenson (-220 BetUS) Spencer fisher (23-4) has only lost 3 decisions to Stout, Edgar, and Prater. Spencer also has one TKO loss to Hermes Franca, but it is pretty clear that injuries and infection played a role in his performance. The competition he's faced in both the middleweight and lightweight divisions have been very solid over all. His wins are fairly

UFC 103 this Saturday night is going up against another highly anticipated Pay-per-view event as Floyd Mayweather makes his return to the ring the same night. What could hurt UFC betting is that Mayweather has been out of the ring since 2007 and people have no doubt missed seeing him dance around the ring, making his opponents look foolish.Regardless, the faithful MMA fan base will have their

Couture is currently a -170 favorite and in a perfect match up against Big Nog. In all aspects of the fight Randy has the edge

Oh damn, I'm pretty wasted right now...you ever had Jack Daniels Rye...It's really fucking good. Any way I'm looking to recoop a 1.15 unit loss from last night with a bet on the sweet WEC 42 card tonight. The two badest mother fuckers at 135 are set for 5 rounds and the odds are very out of whack. I think it's based on how amazing and diverse Miguel Torres game is and how relatively narrow the

There were a couple of fights last night that made me want to shut it down and just get drunk. Not because I lost a little money, but because of unbridled boredom. #1 Josh Neer vs Kirt Pelligrino – from fight of the night potential to nap of the night. I was as pissed as Neer at the end of this one. I hate fights being won through top control win little to no aggression from good position.

These boys better put on a show or the Philly fans will eat them for suppa. I don’t think they’ll be disappointed. There’s potential for lots of highlight footage in this show. In terms of bets I’m running primarily with chalk bets except for one shocker…I hope.

Yes he's had his shit conked by Jardine and Evans, but he's also stepped and beat Rampage and Rua...That's huge, really. Anderson of course could

BJ Penn (-230 BetUS) vs Kenny Florian (+200 Bodog)Technique or power, ground or striking? Typical questions for any match up, but in this one it's a bit cloudy. BJ's prowess on the ground is well know, but his finishes on the ground typically are initiated with strikes. Penn has greatly improved his cardio and has very smooth technical boxing with the fortunate addition of heavy hands. On top of
