Three fights that interst me from a betting perspective:
Roy Nelson V Cheick Kongo:
Nelson comes into this in the form of his life and looking for a title shot.... Kongo, more trying to avoid a defeat that will put him in the wilderness of the heavyweight divison - he really needs a win. If Nelson catches him with an overhand right, it's done for Kongo, but he'll know that and I can see him trying to make as much use of his size and strength as possible, by pushing Roy up against the cage with some wall n stall. He can win rounds like this, and he's strong enough to do that. If not that tactic, he's quick enough to take Roy down and just lie on hium if he has to...another sure fire way of getting decisions in the UFC as we've seen.
Verdict: A shock win for Kongo by decision...if he's not silly enough to stand up against Roy. That would be sill.y Silly silly. And stupid.
Bisping V Belcher:
Bisping come here off the back of a couple of losses against superior opponents than he's facing today. Belcher comes here off a loss to Okami...again.
I expect Bispings work rate and classier all round game to get a decision over Belcher, who is the harder hitter of the two. Not the most intersting fight tactically IMO, and one that'll surely go down to the judges card...in favour of Bisping.
Verdict: Bisping unaminous decision.
Jones V Sonnen:
Blah blah...It's Jones V Sonnen ffs. Not much to say here. Sonnen will be going all out for take downs or be destroyed from range. I think he'll go for take downs, personally! It's Jones by ground and pound stoppage or guillotine submission. Should not go the distance.

decent card that , though silly that Sonnen gets all these title shots , 'entertaining' as he might be

It's sad I dont think people even look for a UFC thread anymore. Im bidding to revive it. Razz has given up, it seems. Im trying to take over the mantle. Come back Razz son. We can do this!

i haven't given up im still backpacking so dont have much time to make em :( should be back home soon though. im on jones pretty heavy, got him in loads of multiples as well. main event is going to be such a missmatch, it's fights like these that make mma one of the best sports to bet on. sonnen has next to no chance to win look at these stats to understand why: http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/UFC-159-Statistical-Matchup-Analysis-Jones-vs-Sonnen-51939
jones is 11 years younger is going to have a significant weight advantage, has a 11 inch reach advantage!! sonnen has lost 12 times in his career some of the time to much weaker competition than jones, sonnen also has had nearly a year layoff, his gameplan has to be to try and take jones down, jones has 100% takedown defense in his entire career!! think about that for a second....sonnen has proved to be one of the least dangerous strikers in uf history, has never knocked anyone down and usually takes punishment in most of his fights.
not very confident about the bisping/belcher fight from a betting perspective, either be decision for bisping or a tko for belcher imo, also going small on nelson, he'll probably just shot for takedowns and gnp him.
