FULL UFC 209 BETTING ODDS
While it might not do blockbuster business, next weekend’s UFC 209 is a massive card for hardcore MMA fans. Headlined by a set of quite intriguing title fights, the card also includes plenty of fan favorites, and a number of the highly regarded prospects on the roster right now. The main event will be the welterweight title rematch between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson. Their struggle on the huge UFC 205 card proven to be a much better contest than many expected, end in a majority draw. Woodley had the far more demonstrative moments in the struggle throughout the first and fourth rounds. However, Thompson was able to back him against the cage for long stretches of the middle rounds, and even though he did not accomplish much once there that he took these rounds. The fifth saw Thompson open up on a tired Woodley and finish the fight on a solid note, but it was only enough to get him back flat on two scorecards. Just as Woodley and Thompson did at UFC 205, the co-main event could steal the show as well. The interim lightweight title bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson comprises just two of those fighters in the division who’ve taken the long road to their title shots. Nurmagomedov is currently 8-0 inside the Octagon and 24-0 entire in his career. He’s been exploited for large things since entering the UFC, and after overcoming a rash of serious harms, eventually seems always fit and is favored to win the belt on March 4th. Ferguson has witnessed his own bumps in the road on the road to this particular shot. After winning the 13th season of’The Ultimate Fighter’ back in 2011, he also scored three successive wins. He dropped a decision to Michael Johnson in 2012 that just halted his momentum for a moment. Since then, he has reeled off nine consecutive wins against the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Edson Barboza, and Josh Thomson, always putting on must-see fights. The combination of Nurmagomedov’s dominance and Ferguson’s high-paced, all-action strategy creates their imaginations of the best bookings in the UFC in a while, and almost makes you forget that there’s a man out there holding the UFC lightweight name who appears to have no desire to defend it. The principal card of UFC 209 also offers a heavyweight rematch between Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt. The two fought in DREAM back in 2008 under a variety of circumstances. Overeem was only beginning his transformation to Ubereem, while Hunt’s devotion to the sport was about in line with Mario Yamasaki’s want to stop fights on time. Both men are much different fighters in this point, as Overeem has adopted a far more conservative fashion and Hunt has rounded out his game significantly. In their first fight, Overeem quickly took Hunt down and filed him, but we haven’t seen a lot of his offensive grappling game lately. Will this fight mark its recurrence, or will the K-1 Grand Prix winners participate on the feet? Rounding out the most important card, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans makes his long-awaited middleweight debut against the always surprising Dan Kelly. The now 37-year-old Evans is 2-4 in his last six, and hasn’t won a fight since 2013. Kelly, despite turning 40 after this year, has impressed in his UFC run — although the amount of competition has been a far cry from what Evans could have provided within his prime — heading 5-1 despite being the betting underdog in each of his UFC outings. Finally, one of the rising stars at lightweight has the chance to flaunt his striking, but from a technical perspective this might be his stiffest test yet on the toes. Lando Vannata stormed into the UFC, nearly upsetting Tony Ferguson on brief note in his debut, and then scoring the favorite choice for 2016’s knockout of this year against John Makdessi. He will be confronting an underrated opponent in David Teymur, with a pair of TKO wins his UFC resume after breaking into the business through TUF. The undercard also has some struggles to keep your eyes , as undefeated prospects Mirsad Bektic, Luke Sanders, Paul’The Bear Jew’ Craig, and Tyson Pedro make their yields. The latter two have been paired together in a light heavyweight division which desperately requires fighters to grow up the rankings. Meanwhile, Bektic and Sanders face their stiffest professional tests against Darren Elkins and Iuri Alcantara, respectively.
