FULL UFC 209 BETTING ODDS

While it might not do blockbuster business, next weekend’s UFC 209 is a huge 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 more highly regarded prospects on the roster right now. The main event is going to be the welterweight title rematch between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson. Their battle on the massive UFC 205 card turned out to be a far better competition than most expected, ending in a vast majority draw. Woodley had the far more demonstrative moments in the struggle throughout the first and fourth rounds. However, Thompson managed to back him against the cage for long stretches of the rounds, and even though he didn’t accomplish much once there he took those rounds. The fifth saw Thompson open up on a tired Woodley and end the struggle on a strong note, but it had been just enough to get him back level on two scorecards. Just as Woodley and Thompson did at UFC 205, the co-main occasion could steal the show here as well. The interim lightweight title bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson comprises just two of those fighters in the branch who have taken the long road to their name shots. Nurmagomedov is currently 8-0 inside the Octagon and 24-0 overall in his career. He’s been exploited for large things since entering the UFC, and after overcoming a rash of serious injuries, finally seems consistently fit and is favored to win the buckle on March 4th. Ferguson has witnessed his own bumps in the road on the way for this shot. After winning the 13th year of’The Ultimate Fighter’ back in 2011, he scored three successive wins. He dropped a choice to Michael Johnson in 2012 that only stopped his sanity for a moment. Since that time, he has reeled off nine consecutive wins against the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Edson Barboza, and Josh Thomson, always putting on must-see struggles. The combo of both Nurmagomedov’s dominance and Ferguson’s high-paced, all-action strategy makes their bout of the best bookings in the UFC in a while, and almost makes you forget that there is a man out there holding the UFC lightweight name who appears to possess no desire to defend it. The principal card of UFC 209 additionally features a heavyweight rematch between Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt. Both fought DREAM back in 2008 under a variety of conditions. Overeem was only beginning his transformation into Ubereem, while Hunt’s devotion to the game was about based on Mario Yamasaki’s want to stop fights on time. Both guys are a lot of fighters at this point, as Overeem has adopted a much more conservative style and Hunt has rounded out his game considerably. In their first battle, Overeem quickly took Hunt down and submitted himbut we haven’t seen too much of his offensive fighting game recently. Will this fight mark its return, or will the K-1 Grand Prix champions engage on the toes? Rounding out the main card, former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans makes his long-awaited middleweight debut against the constantly sudden Dan Kelly. The currently 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 was a far cry from what Evans could have provided within his prime — heading 5-1 despite being the gambling underdog in each of his UFC outings. Finally, among the rising stars at lightweight gets another chance to show off his striking, although from a technical standpoint this may be his stiffest test yet about the toes. Lando Vannata stormed into the UFC, nearly upsetting Tony Ferguson on short note in his introduction, and then scoring the favorite pick for 2016’s knockout of this year against John Makdessi. He’ll be facing an underrated opponent in David Teymur, with a set of TKO wins his UFC resume after breaking into the organization through TUF. The undercard also has some fights to keep your eyes , as undefeated prospects Mirsad Bektic, Luke Sanders, Paul’The Bear Jew’ Craig, and Tyson Pedro make their yields. Both are paired using a light heavyweight division which desperately needs fighters to rise up the ranks. Meanwhile, Bektic and Sanders face their stiffest professional tests against Darren Elkins and Iuri Alcantara, respectively.
