Bettors wanting to get in on
the action need to keep a close eye on the latest UFC
74 odds so they can get the most up-to-date number
before making their predictions. There are several
top sportsbooks that we use for UFC betting and the
first is
Bodog. This is a book that normally pays out
more for underdogs because most of their action is from
igornant bettors who blindly take the favorites.
If you want to come out on top then make sure you have
an account with
Bodog in order to take advantage of line shopping,
that is getting the best number possible for each of
your bets. Another great place is
BetUS. This book offers big bonuses so you can
get all kinds of free money by making an initial
deposit. If you use these two books then you will
have the best chance of beating the odds in MMA betting.
The main draw is the heavyweight title fight between
Randy Couture and Gabrial Gonzaga. Even though
Couture is the champion the odds makers have him listed
as a slight underdog to the challenger Gonzaga.
Couture beat Tim "The Maine-iac" Silvia in his last
fight to win the title even though he was a major
underdog coming in. Couture's age was thought to
be a problem, as how he was basically moving up in
weight and coming out of a short retirement period.
Gonzaga is coming off a big win over Mirko "Cro Cop"
Filipovic at UFC 70 in which he also was a major
underdog. This will be an interesting fight even
though once again Couture isn't getting much credit.
This guy seems to be a freak of nature who is defying
his age due to the incredible shape he keeps in body in.
The other big draw on the card will be former
welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre taking on the
up and coming Josh Koscheck, who took down Diego Sanchez
the last time out in an unspectacular fight, but it was
a win nonetheless. St. Pierre got knocked out
against Matt Serra at UFC 69 as one of the biggest
favorites we have seen go down in the octagon. It
will be interesting to see how he bounces back from that
knockout. Koscheck is a great wrestler who stood
up and paced himself against Sanchez. He's going
to have to do so again against St. Pierre. The
winner of this fight stands a good chance at getting a
title opportunity in the very near future, something
Koscheck thinks he has earned.
There are some other great fights on the card
including Joe Stevenson from the Ultimate Fighter 2
taking on Kurt Pellgrino in a lightweight bout, Patrick
Cote facing off against the popular Kendal Grove and
Roger Huerta going against Alberto Crane. On the
undercard is Travis Lutter and Ryan Jenson, Renato "Babalu"
Sobral taking on David Heath and former heavyweight
champ Frank Mir taking on a K-1 veteran in Antoni
Hardonk. If you like betting on the fights then
this is going to be a great card, so we recommend
heading over to one of the two sportsbooks in this
article and placing a few bets.
